WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

The way your head is balanced
is the "come-on" or the go
back" of posture. This is the
characteristic in posture which
can add the ultimate grace and
dictates. to a great extent. how
you stack up as whole.
It Is impossible to hold your
head correctly without uncon-
sciously Strengthening the shoul-
ders and lifting the chest and you
will be very likely to pull your
abdomen in.
The very act of holding the
head correctly is a splendid ex-
ercise for the neck and chin
line and many faults in beauty,
such as the dowager's hump, the
double chin, the corded neck, are
the results Of incorrect balance of
the head.
Stand with your back to the
wall. Be sure that your shoulders
and the back of your head touch
the wall. The chin is neither
titled up nor ducked down. It is
parallel to the floor. Keep the
chin in this position and the back
Of the head and the shoulders
touching, while you try to bring
your neck as close to the wall as
possible. In order to do this, you
will have to push up with the top
of your head. Feel the pull |
through the back neckline? This
is such an important thing for
women to learn for the sake of |
beauty and grace.

leaflet No. 10. "Is your Chinline

The Chef
Suys

There's on old Scotch saying,
'The top Of the pot and the tail
or the herring for the master Of
the house." There's reason for
this because the tail Of the herring
Is certainly its best part. But
actually. herrings are good all
over" and are. perhaps. one Of
the most popular of all the den-
izens Of the deep.
You may cook fresh herring,
Of course. as you would any fish.
but the cured variety is really her
ring at its best. It is salted or
smoked for appetizers, and par
tial smoking turns it into kippered
herring-standby of the British
breakfast.
Sailed herrings-preserved in
brine-have many uses. Especial
ly fine ones are imported from
Holland in kegs. These have
heavy white milts. and are often
called mixer herrings. Sailed
herrings should be soaked in fresh
water for more than eight hours
even up to IL If you don't like
them too salty.
Did you ever eat raw salted
herrings that have been soaked.
fllleted, washed in fresh water.
and cut in pieces, sprinkled with
minced dill, and served with sour
cream? A famous dish back In
the days Of the "free lunch." and
just as good now. Those tasty
"roll-mops" are made of salted
herring, too.
The traditional ''red herring"
which caused such q furore In
Washington a while back. is
smoked herring. It must be pre-
pared by soaking overnight in q
brine that contains a little salt
peter. which gives them q red
dish hue when smoked.
You may have heard Of "Yar-
mouth Bloaters"-they are big
herrings. salted, smoked only q
little. and half dried. They are
much like kippers. but not con-
sidered quite such a delicacy.
Taunton. Mass. has even been
called the Herring City because
Of the prevalence Of alewives
there. These are Of the herring
family, and are smoked.
Awhile back I gave you a recipe
for f1nnan haddie and q reader
asked how it got its name. Had
dock was originally lightly smoked
In a fishing town called Findon,
near Aberdeen. Scotland. Scotch
dialect soon turned "Findon Had
dock" into "finnan haddie."

Small's first show is hanging in

Mrs. Small's interest, and she
works only in oils. Scenes and
seasons suggest pictures to her,

ton.
There has been one painter in
every generation of her family.
Mrs. Small reported. She can't

friend who came to see the
show explained.
She studied briefly when she
was II, but neglected art after
that time. A friend who was leav-
ing town in 1948 urged Mrs. Small
to paint a picture for her, and
she has been painting ever since.
Her hobbies and her friends
keep Mrs. Small happy and con-
tented at home, she reported. At

had upholstered, and an attrac-
tive and functional 'tipple top
