Halibut and Oyster

BY BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH
Of Columbia Clairol-sit:

Place three slices of bacon or fat
pork in a baking pan or dish. On it
lay a slice of halibut. weighing about
a pound. Sprinkle with salt and pep-
per and place. out of a pint, as many
oysters as possible on the ‘hallbut.
Sprinkle the oysters with salt and
pepper and lay a. second slice of
halibut over them Cover this with
a cup of buttered crumbo. Bake in a
moderate oven 20 to 30 minutes.
Heat the remaining oysters in a
sauce pan until their edges or gills
curl slightly. Drain of! the liquor and
use with enough milk to make a cup
and a. half of sauce. Season this with
salt. pepper and one tablespoon of
lemon Juice and add the oysters. Pour
around the halibut or pass separately.
Garnish the platter with parsley
and lemon slices.

stay for a few minutes in a hot oven.

ADD 59MB SODA. .
Add a little soda to the water in
which you wash the greasy cooking
utensils and see how much labor you
save.

 

KEEPS FLOWERS FRESH.
Hothouse flowers will stay fresh for
a longer time than usual if you will
put a few thin slices of white soap
into the water in whlrh they stand.

 

YOU WON‘T TASTE IT.
When the egg beater or meat chop-

in the bearings. ‘This will act as a

lubricant, but it will not taste in the

HATS FOR EVEVING.
Evening hats are said to be the rage
in Paris. worn with sleeveless. low-
cut frocks. They are of gold or silver
lace. satin or malines. and usually
have transparent brlms.

 

TIES AND SASEES.
Ties and sashes are the favorite
methods of closing the newest model
coats. Usually the bow comes far to
the side, over the hip. leaving the
front very flat and straight. Even the
short coats follow this formula.

Front drapery is very stylish, and
now we even find sashes gathered
loosely over the Sips and tied directly
in the front.

A frock of unusual simplicity and

I would hold my self accountable.
