FOR FRIED FISH FRIED
FINE TRY THIS WAY
You can only fry fish by i'm
mersing it in deep hot fat. Wipe
the fish dry, dust slightly with
little -four into which you have
sifted little salt and pepper. Dip
the fish into the beaten egg Zone
egg with as much water as its
shell will hold, beaten lightly to-
gether). When taken from the
kettle lay on sheet of brown
paper or blotter to absorb any
grease.
y Do not have the fish cold, as it
will lower the temperature of the
fat and become greasy before it
begins to brown.
Fish is often dipped in batter
and quickly put into the hot fat.
Make your batter of one egg, one
half a cup of water and flour
enough to make it smooth and
thick. When a rich golden color
remove from fat, put ina pan and
set in oven for few minutes.
Butter or butter substitute is
not desirable for frying or saute-
ing fish in a frying pan, as it
burns too easily. The fat from
slab pork is much better, use the
slices of pork around the fish on
the platter when served.

LACK OF GARDENS HERE
DEPL0RED BY SPEAKER
Mrs. Philip Martineau OF Lon
don Lectures at Home OF
Col. R. M. Thompson.

Mrs. Philip Martineau of London de-
livered an illustrated lecture this morn
ing in the ballroom of the home OF COL
and Mrs. r. NJ. Thompson. on the SUBJ
ject of gardening. An audience or gar
den-lovers whom Mrs. Thompson had in
vited for the occasion was much inter
ested in what Mrs. Martineau said she
is travelling in this country in the enor'
to inspire an appreciation of gardening
and gardens among those in what she
called the humber walks of life
Mrs. Martineau deplored the absence
of cottage gardens" in the Un1ted
States which she declared are so com
mon in England. Here, she said, the
oack yard which she called "a most
detestable name is usually merely
place to hang clothes to dry.
"A love of gardens Mrs Martineau
said would, to some extent cure the
poorer people of the United States. If
man loves his rose bushes he always
hesitates TO move.
She declared that gardening is the
oldest pastime in the world, quoting
Virgil and others-among them SIR
ment.
Never Causes selfshness.
TT is the one sport she said. de
void of jealousy, and a gardener
whether professional or amateur, is
never selfish"
What perhaps appealed to some OF
the women present In what she said.
more than anything else. was a re-
mark that gardens and love of gar
dening keeps one eternally young; Tor
the old live in the past, the middle
aged in the present and the young IN
the future the garden being essen
TALLY a thing of the future"
In England, Mrs. Martineau said, every
one pants his or her own garden, even
duchesses and other women of the peer
age She spoke of the great help the
ROYAL horticultural Society there is to
every class and hoped for the establish
ment of some similar organization in the
United States.
