ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
From Mrs. J. B. S., Washington.j
In reply to the request of Mrs. II.
l.. A.. Bethesda, for recipe for sheesh
kabab, wish to submit the following:
One item you will need Is a set Of
skewers that town-bred Arabs sub
stitute for the wild Sheik's sword for
broiling sheesh kabab. The proper
skewer is square edged so the meat
won't slip, three-eighths of an inch
thick and IL inches long. The real
fun of sheesh kabab Is broiling 1t
over q picnic fire. With q picnic In
prospect, skewer your lunch the
night before and keep it in the ice
box In waxed paper. Cut your cubes
of lean lamb inches thick and al
Iternate them rs you would string
Ivaricolored beads, with quarters Of
onion, whole mushrooms, quarters
of tomato, slices Of thick fresh green
or sweet red peppers-any or all OF
these. Allow a good 20 minutes for
sheesh kabab, salt and pepper 1t
while broiling and turn often.
Now for Mrs. G. L. r., Washing
ton, with her unusual problem" !"
which after all Is not too unusual
as lot of us have suffered from
nail polish rash. I have been to
several dermatologists regarding
this very condition, but have been
advised to simply not use the stun.
This has been very profitable ad-
vice, I must say, inasmuch as no
longer suffer with this rash over my
chin and throat. am not bothered
with chipping polish, my nails are
in better condition and no longer
split and the most important OF all
I have had countless compliments
from men who detest nail polish.
As q matter of fact, this allergy be-
came apparent almost three years
ago and during this three-year
period I have had only one man
admit that he likes nail polish.
There is no such thing as nom
allergic nail polish.
