There is nothing nicer than a well-dressed crab for lunch or supper. For frealiness choose a crüb that feels heavy and stiff,

To dress it you need: 102. breadcrumbs, 10%. butter margarine,

chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper..

Separate the crab, crack the small claws, and mix the white ment in them with the inside of the crab. Add the breadcrumbs, Demon juice, seasoning and but- ter, and make it into a paste. Wash: and dry the shell and put In this mixture. Finke the white meat:from. the big claws- finely, and plie it each side of the shell. Decorate with chop- ped parsley and; If you have it. coraline pepper.

able as chameleons. The four ideas

Take your pinafore and blouse as before; add a wide sash and turban made in the some striped silk (four, yards will make your blouse, `sosti and turban). Make the turban by gathering strip of silk into a knot on top of

of your head, leaving the ends free to cross and tie in a 'bow at the back. Wear the blouse over your pinafore, wind the sash, round. twice, and tie it in a big bow in front, and you have a smart AFTER- NOON SUIT.

scientific name, for a condition that causes more mental distress to girls and boys between the ages of 15 and 20 than any other diseases. Many a social life is ruined by the presence on the face and neck of blackheads and pimples. It is due to excessive activity of the sebaceous glands, particular- ly on the sides of the nose, cheeks and forehead, behind the ears and on the upper part of the chest and back.
