Starting with that same bed
Of beans. here's another varia-
ton. Pour over beans in cas-
serole 4 cup chilli sauce; then
cut s or 8 franks in half and
prick each piece with a fork.
Stand the franks around the
rim of casserole so that lust
their tops are sticking out from
the beans.

Biography

In his book on the Life and
Times Of Cleopatra. Queen OF
Egypt Arthur Weigall gives an
interesting story NJ what must
have been her life and interests
but even he says no one really
knows whether Cleopatra was
blond or brunei.
He says, so far as one knows.
she was not an Oriental but
must be considered Macedonian
Greek. This might mean she
was fair-halred and that her
eyes were blue, although most
historians like 70 make her
dark-haired. dusky-eyed Egyp-
tan beauty.
They seem 10 agree that she
was beautiful according 10 her
time. but her real charm and
power lay IN her magnetic influ-
ence over all who beheld her.
