CAN FISH IN ANY OF THE
STREAMS OF THE STATE

Unless he tramples down growing
crops, destroys fences or otherwise
works direct injury upon the property
of the owner, fisherman is within
his rights when angling in any stream
in Montana whether the stream is with
in a post enclosure or not. This, in
effect, is the reply of State Game War
den DeFIart to request Of Secretary
M. R. Hardenburg, of the Western
Montana Angler s association. The let
ter of Game Warden DeIIart is as fol
lows:
"Replying to yours of May 18th as
boundaries of a post enclosure, will
say that this matter has long been
mooted question in Montana. There has
never been a decision Of court of rec
ord upon this point, and there is no
provision of the statute directly touch
ing upon the question.
However, an opinion was rendered
by Albert j. Galen when he was at
torney general to the effect that no
action for criminal trespass would lie
against any person fishing within the
enclosure of another in the public
waters of the state. On the contrary
there is an express provision Of law,
that makes it misdemeanor for any
one to hunt within the enclosure of
''The only action that would be
against a~fisherman who was on the
land of another would be where such
fisherman has done actual damage to
property either personal or real, and
in this event an action FOR civil dam
ages may be maintained, but under no
circumstances could it be treated from
criminal standpoint.
"The advice given anglers clubs by
different attorneys throughout the
state has been to the effect that so
long as no damage was done to the
personal or real property of the owner
of the enclosure that they had right
to fish in the public waters of the state,
and this is as far as the department of
fish and game can advise you in the
premises. -
The above is of particular interest
in this section, as there is a wide diff
ference of opinion among land own
ers and fishermen as to the rights of
one or the other. The Interpretation
of the game warden clearly indicates
that a fisherman is within his rights
while angling in any stream at any
point, so long as he does not damage
or destroy growing crops or other
property.-The Home Plaindealer

A plain blouse and a dressy one,
both of crepe, are pictured above.
They are representative styles in
blouses made of crepes, which are
equally well liked for daily wear and
for dress occasions. Crepe G~eorgette
is chosen for the r~ich-looking waist
with handsome lace vest and ermine
bands, while crepe de chine makes the
palmer blouse for ordinary service.
The plain blouse is set ON to a yoke
which is narrow at the back and ter
inmates at the front, where 1t is
brought over the shoulder. The Shout
der seams are long and the sleeves
plain and almost straight. They are
set into a plain cuff with overlapping
end. This end is prettily shaped into a
point that is extended and decorated
with a fine embroidered floral spray
A small buttonhole worked in the
point fastens the cuff over a round
button set on the underside.
The blouse fastens at the front with
small ball buttons. These are usually

Foxes will need all their cunning,
and much more, If the demand for
their pelts does not abate. Just now
it seems that every girl wants to wear
a red fox. or a white one, coiled about
her neck, and a fox muffI in which to
embed her hands. She dimes in airy
gowns, but, having removed a coat,
her graceful fur is retained, not be-
the public dining room is cold
but because her furs are becoming,
and fashion allows her to wear them.
White fox is in demand on evening
coats in collars and deep cuffs. Or
very light colors and white coats EN-.
ploy fox fur dyed black. 1t is a long,
soft and rich fur but not so durable
as some others.
Red fox is especially becoming to
authenticated, ~fair.skinned women,
and when brown eyes are added to
these the effect is so good that even
the fox might be reconciled to his
fate, could he foresee it.
One of these natural fox sets is
shown in the picture. The scarf is
held in place by fastening the claws
together. In the muff the head is
used, but tail and claws are omitted.

HINTS FOR THE HOME COOK
Advice That Is the Result Of Com.
bined Experience of Practical
Housekeepers.

A little grape Juice. beaten egg
white, added to lemonade forms a de-
%licious. healthful drink.
Bacon rinds are good boiled with
cabbage, string or soup beans.
Prunes cooked in the oven after
soaking over night, seasoned and
sweetened to taste, are much richer
than if stewed.
Air blowing on bread sponge will
keep it from rising and may spoil 1t
entirely.
If eggs are boiled in sailed water
the shells will peel easily.
A generous pinch of salt added to
flour for thickening, before mixing
with water, tends to keep it from be-
ing lumpy.
When roasting a fowl stuff the
breast with pared and cut up sweet
potatoes: the flavor is surprising.
When separating whites and yolks
of eggs a speck of yolk slips into
the white; to remove this easily, dip
a clean cloth into warm water, wiring
dry, touch the speck with the end of
this and it will cling to it.
Vegetables to be cooked by boiling
should be put into boiling water, as
little as possible, and if the water
is added let it be boiling hot. Steam
ing is best for most vegetables.

SALMON WITH BOILED EGG
Delicious Trlhe for Hostess to Serve
to Guests at Formal or In
formal Luncheon.

A salmon sandwich is a temptius ar
ticle Of food. and should be half mixed
with chopped boiled egg and very thin
slices of olives and pickles. The wise
hostess will make two different kinds
of sandwiches, some with the mix
ture moistened with vinegar or lemon
Juice. others without, for many per-
sons cannot eat acids. Practically all
meat sandwiches are extremely rich,
and strong condiments are used in the
filling, especially mustard and catchup.
While white meat makes a delicate
sandwich, darker meats mixed with
mayonnaise and other relishes are
more appetizing in every way. When
hot sandwiches are served at a noon
day luncheon at home, the contents
of the sandwich should be placed be-
tween the layers of bread and fried,
or the bread toasted and covered with
a cooked meat filling, then covered
with buttered toast and served hot.

Rich Bride Cake.

Take four pounds sifted flour, four
pounds of sweet, fresh butter, beaten
to a cream, and two pounds of white
powdered sugar. Take six eggs for
each pound of flour, an ounce of
ground mace or nutmeg and a table
spoonful of lemon extract or orange
flower water. A very pretty way in
which to present pieces of this cake
to your guests is to cut u each piece
in the shape of a heart, and put on
each separate piece the initial, in
frosting, of each guest to whom the
cake is to be given. Present the cake
in either pink %gilt-edged, heart-shaped
boxes, or, if you cannot go to the ex-
pense of having the boxes made, wrap
the pieces in frilled tissue paper, tied
with dainty pink silk baby ribbon.
