Food bal Scotland.

Now that the Scottish holiday sea
son is just about to begin there is
controversy In the north as to the
food provided by the boarding house
keepers and landladies of Scotland
for their patrons from England. It
seems that the Scots do not alter
their menus to suit the southerners
and that some of the southerners re-
sent this. They want more vegeta-
bles, for instance, and a greater va
riety OF them. They demand turnip
tops "a LUXURY rarely consumed north
of the Tweed, save by Sheep, and
ask, why no spinach" Also they
want heavy supper, likewise beer.
The complaining controversialists
say it is a case of ham and eggs for
breakfast, midday dinner and high
tea to conclude the meals OF the day
AS for beer. they report that Scottish
landladies at the coast resorts lool
askance at people who wish beer sent
in. So far the only reply Of Scotland
to the fault-fnders is that when they
are in Scotland they should eat whai

Of their wearers. Since the lntroduc-
ton Of rubber fabric in all sorts Of
colors and patterns there is a choice
of solid colors OF gay stripes or at

be made OF this cloth. 1t is, OF course,
impervious to water, and the bathers
emerge from the sea with water run
ming on from garments which cannot
be watersoaked.
This rubber tissue Is used for caps,

than for the bathing suit, perhaps be-
cause 1t is a novelty which is not
thoroughly introduced. And also Ger.
tain fabrics, like taffeta silk and mo.
