Sauce Makes
the Fish

Fish requires garnish Of some
kind, and parsley, cress and lemon
slices may be used effectively. The
plain lemon slices may be used, or
the edges notched and touched up
with dashes of paprika or minced
parsley.
With some kinds of fish it is better
to serve the lemon cut in eighths.
Not only does the lemon make the
fish look and taste better. but it Is
better because foods which are at
tractive in appearance are stimulat-
ing to the appetite and are easier
to digest.
One must also consider the i'm
portant organic salts and acids con-
tanned in the lemon juice and the
rich vitanlin content.
The sauces served with fish are
most important, such as the tartar
sauce, which is favored with fried
fish, and the cucumber Hollandaise
sauce, liked by many with broiled
fish.
A folded napkin should be placed
under boiled fish to absorb the
moisture. Heavy, rich sauces, such
as the egg sauce suggested in to-
days menu, are appropriate here.
Frequently shrimp are used in place

company boiled fish.
Boiled Fish
Tie fish in a clean piece of cheese
cloth to keep it from breaking apart.
Cover with cold water and bring to
boiling point. This gradual heating
Of the water insures a thorough
cooking of the central part of the
fish. Add one tablespoon of vinegar
to improve the flavor and whiten
the fish. Season with two teaspoons
salt.
Cover pan and, after water boils,
cook gently until fish is tender.
Fifteen minutes of cooking for each
pound Is usually sufficient. Remove
fish from cloth and place on folded
napkin on hot platter
Serve with egg sauce made by
adding two sliced hard-cooked eggs
to one and one-half. cups cream
sauce or drawn butter sauce, made
as follows:
Drawn Butter Sauce
Five tablespoons butter or mar
garine.
Three tablespoons flour.
One and one-half cups boiling
water.
One-half teaspoon salt.
One.fourth teaspoon pepper.
Melt three tablespoons butter,
add flour and mix well. Add boiling
water, all at one time, and beat
constantly until thickened. Add re-
naming butter in small pieces.

Rug Beating
Old Style

IN the spring the housewives fancy
= turns reluctantly to rug beating
and sounds of wailing floor covering
of various shapes, sizes and hues are
heard in back yards and from viii
COW stills. This disharmony is I'M
happily familiar to millions of Amerf-
can housewives.
Modern science, which has taken
so many burdens out Of our homes,
is now able to relieve us Of the rug
and dust problem.
With the improvement in the
methods of laundries and dry clean
ing industries, rug cleaning has as
summed the proportions of a national
service. We can send our rugs
away to be shampoeed as gaily as
we do our blankets, knowing that
they will be cleansed as carefully
with the same pure white soap that
we would use If the rug cleaning
was TO be done in our own home.
II, however, you prefer to give
your rugs your own personal atten-
ton, 1t Is really possible to wash
them without too much effort even
without a washing machine.
Spread the rugs on a flat surface
and scrub well with a stiff brush
and plenty of pure white soap suds.
Don't soak the rug with water, but
apply the suds in thick rather dry
state. Rinse thoroughly and quickly
by rubbing with cloths squeezed out
of clean water.
The last rinsing water should con-
tain a few drops of ammonia Then
hang straight on line SO that they
will not pull out of shape while dry.

it's best to tack down the edges and
corners to make 1t easier to manage
as well as to prevent stretching.

Vegetables
and Bacon

The season for fresh greens is
relatively short aid 1t will not be
long before the spinach, chard,
dandelion and beet tops of the gar
den will be tender and succulent.
They are at their best during the
late spring and early summer
months and should be enjoyed to
the fullest extent at this season.
There are, of course, many ways
of serving greens but we know of no
combination that tempts, as well as
satisfies, like green's and bacon.
There are two general methods Of
serving this combinations piece OF
bacon, the desired size to serve your
family, may be wiped with a damp
cloth, the rind removed, covered with
cold water, brought to the boiling
point and then allowed to simmer,
figuring about 25 minutes to the
pound.
One half hour before it is done,
have the greens picked and washed.
The water in the kettle should be
reduced to about half, then the
greens added and cooked rapidly, un.
covered, for the remaining period:
Potatoes boiled in their jackets will
complete the main portion Of this
meal.
The other method is to put the
vegetables on in boiling water to
cover: cook rapidly and when half
done, add salt AMI pepper to taste.
Pan broil slices OF bacon-allowing
at least three strips for each serv-
ing.
Serve the vegetables in a mound
in the center of a large dish. Lay
strips Of broiled bacon over the vege.
tables and use as garnish. Serve
Immediately.
The liquid left in the kettle after
the vegetables have been removed
| should not be thrown out but used
for the foundation OF cream soup to
be served at that or a later meal.
Crushed cubes of bacon may be
cooked with creamed vegetables to
give an added delicate flavor.
Creamed asparagus served with
cubes of crisply broiled bacon is a
dish that viii win the favor of your
