rare the first. day. then cut on what
is wanted and roast it again.
When cooking bass, try this method

Thoroughly scrape and dry the fish,
I'LL With several slices of bacon That
have been dripped in chopped onion
and parsley. then seasoned with pep
per and salt. Wind the fish with a

Serve with melted butter and lemon.
TO keep greens fresh. wash and
drain them and place in n large jar or
kettle. which may be covered tightly,
and if kept In a cool place until need.
ed, the greens will keep crisp and
fresh for several days.
Use. white embroidery cotton to
make buttonholes in thin white goods
They are much easier made. and wear
as we'll as when thread is used.
White cotton crepe waists may be
washed and dried over a clothes hang
