leaves, and to which slices of lemon.
asparagus tips and a tomato cut IN
points added the proper bit Of color
and freshness. making altogether a
delicious and exceedingly attractive
dish
In speaking OF the chemistry of fats
i Mrs. Vaughn. said that the most di-
gestihle fats are liquids. such as olive

d selecting her cuts of meat, seeing e
\ IL that they are fresh and good.
