Fresh Fish Is Not
Appreciated by
Every One
Simplest Method
For Cooking Is to
Fry in Little Fat
By Edith M. Barber

Fresh Ash Is always considered a
delicacy, but not every one has the
fine taste to appreciate it. We are
not like the ancient Greeks who
would drop all business or get up
from meal to run to the market
when the fish bell rang, indicating
the arrival of a boatload.
feel like ringing the bell myself
when a mess of fresh fish is brought
into the house. 1t is always a priv
ilege of the man who catches the
fish to clean them, or SO most house
keepers think. An exception to this
classification has written me and
asked for the specific directions for
cleaning the fish which her hus-
band brings home. She also asks
for recipes for cooking small fish.
The simplest method is usually
the best for fish of this sort. I like
to dredge them in seasoned corn
meal and then saute them in a
heavy frying pan in a small amount
of fat. add more fat as it is
needed, but too much at one time
causes the flesh to break. With
fried fish a tartare sauce is some
times used. This is made by mix
ing chopped pickles. onions and
parsley with mayonnaise. Some
times creamed butter. favored in
the same way, is used as a sauce
for fried fish.
Cleaning and boning fish: AS you
may have occasion to clean and
bone a mess of hand-caught fish"
the following directions are given
Whenever possible fish should be
cleaned as soon as taken from the

should be cleaned Immediately upon
reaching their destination First of
all, wash fish thoroughly. Allow
Ing them to remain in a pail OF
cold water to which small amount
of salt or vinegar has been added,
while each fish is awaiting its turn
to be cleaned, will not only keep
them fresh, but will make scaling
easier. Scrape the scales with the
back of a heavy knife from tail
to head. Do this outdoors if pos
sible for the scales fly everywhere.
Open fish as far as necessary to

Introduction to
Mutual Friend
is Correct
Letter Calls for
More Obligation
Than Card
By Emily Post

A soldier who was told by some OF
his friends at home to look up sew
eral families who are friends Of
theirs and who live near the camp
asks this question: Without a letter
OF introduction, can man take the
liberty of getting in touch with
these strangers on the say-so of
mutual friends? Won't it put them
in the position of feeling that they
have to go out of their way to en-
| tertain him?"
The answer to this is; Certainly
he can get in touch with them, and
their obligation to him will be much
less than it would, had he brought
letter of introduction. If he has
any civilian cards with him, he
writes Privte or End Lieut.. Cor what
ever his rank) in front of his name,
and Camp A under it, and then
beneath-Am friend of the John
Blanks of Widefields. Kansas. If he
has no cards, he writes this same in
formation on a piece of paper and
leaves 1t at the door. If the door is
opened by member of the family.
he tells her (or him) who he is.
Dear Mrs. Post: will be a Junior
in high school next year. I am al
lowed to 60 to parties and dances
now and again with boy friends, but
I have to be home no later than
1890. The dance usually ends at
midnight, but it takes time to stop
with the crowd to get a soda on the
way home. The drug store is usually
crowded and service is slow. The
other girl and boy who always 20
with us don't have to be in until
l:3O or 2 o'clock. There are very
few girls who have to be in as early
as l have to, and am getting tired
OF being teased about my mothers
apron strings. What time do you
think I ought to be allowed to come
home when things are as / have
explained? My parents like my
friends.
Answer: I think 1880 is far be-
yond the hour when a well-brought-
up girl under Is should be out under
ordinary circumstances. Really fas-
tldlous parents put the hour at IL;
liberal ones at 1l:30, with later priv
ileges given only on very special
occasions.
Dear Mrs. Post: When a bride
feels impelled to exchange a we'd
ding present for something else
winch she needs and hasn't cot,
does she tell the person who gives
the present or write thank YOU for
your beautiful present" Just as
though she still had it.
Answer, She writes her note of
thanks for the present. In fact. the
note of thanks should be written
long before she has a chance to
change it.

Clarifying

The way to gain a mans SYM
pathy for your beauty routines is
through his poignant peeve, the
morning shave.
Your messages, your exercises
your devotion TO dress and beauty
wisdom get him impatient irrit-
able, rreverent?
Then, help him where he can
really benefit by thought or two
for HIS Observation-Disclosures and
grooming gadgets. OF course, the
tactical side of accomplishing this
is not always simple, and you will
have to work it out for yourself
But the strategy doesn't vary, and
here it Is:
Equip him correctly, and care for
his equipment. The primary pre-
ventive of carnage before break
fast is still a good razor. If he
knows how or could learn to use
the old-fashioned open one, men
tell me, he'd do best with it. If you
can afford it, and he likes it, there's
the cut-proof electric clipper. Should
this dry technique irritate his dry,
sensitive skin, the hoe with the
wafer blade is for him. And one
with an honest cutting edge.
See that he's we'll supplied with
blades. Try oiling new blades be-
fore they're used and crying them
afterward, against rust. Check On
the variation from blade to blade
in the pack; and the durability of
each blade.

It would be far more sensible if
she would decide to entertain more
simply than she has in the past
but to go right on being hos

reason why she can't manage to
have her friends in now and then.
Another woman says that she
isn't going to give any more pres

OF living if she would just try to
give useful gifts.
Still another woman decides that
she will give up all recreation and
devote the time to war work. If
she follows through on that she is
likely to be fed up with war work
much sooner than the woman who
reserves little time for herself.
