THE SUMMER GIRLS WARDROBE,



most essential thing in life is a brand
new summer wardrobe. Remaking

short OF the given quantity OF meat,
put in the same quantity OF water

may reduce the amount OF the water
and every other ingredient in the same
proportion. In matters OF havoring you
are told to use cloves a bit OF mace
may be substituted. II you read a
recipe and 1t calls for something you
have not. consider whether that some
thing has anything to do with the sub
stance OF the dish or II II is merely
