They are versatile, high in food value, delicate in flavor and pop- ular. But they can be temperamental. They behave badly if treated roughly, stored or cooked carelessly. There is nothing worse than a tough, greasy fried egg and nothing better than a light, tender omelette. Omelettes are adaptable and allow for plenty of variations. A plain or jelly omelette for breakfast, a west- ern,, cheese or Spanish omelette for dinner -- or possibly a fruit omelette for dessert. The home economists in the Con- sumer Section of the Dominion De- part of Agriculture, say that where omelettes fall down is in the cooking. Slow cooking at low temperature is the secret of successful omelette mak- ing. There are two main types of ome- lette--the fluffy or foamy and the French. The former has a lighter tex- ture when finished but if not thor- oughly cooked it falls rapidly. It is made by beating yolks and whites separately, adding 1 tablespoon of liquid--milk, water, tomato or vege- table juice for each egg. This liquid is mixed with the yolks. When the greased frying pan is hot, the stiffly beaten whites are folded into the yolks, the mixture is poured into the pan, the heat reduced and the ome- lette cooked very slowly until set. For a French omelette the eggs are beaten very slightly, with the required liquid (one tablespoon per ege). During the slow cooking the mix- Serving It's all over but the eating, for frésh bread just doesn't stand a full of hungry CWACS.

Hungry Army Girls "Ma, I miss your apple pie," has lost ground steadily as the Army theme song since the Canadian Women's Army Corps cooks went to work. Famed in song and story mother's cooking takes a back seat to some of the delicious recipes originated by the army girls. The cooks have the best of ingredi- ents to work with and their resource- fulness is supplemented by an Army course in general cooking, baking and butchering. Dessert voted the favorite of the girls stationed at the Advanced Train- ing Centre at Ste. Anne de Bellevue, Que., is "Topley Pudding," a creation of Sergeant M. Topley, now 4 cook with the Canadian Women's Army Corps overseas. Ingredients 10 quarts of whole milk 216 lbs. Pilot Biscuit (rolled into crumbs) 5 cups granulated sugar 40 egg yolks ; 7 tablespoons lemon rind The average housewife will probably never have occasion to bake a pudding for a hundred people, but to the army cooks it's all in the day's work. : Housekeeping on a grand scale like this is taught scientifically at the Ad- vanced Training Centre. A three weeks course in Practical Domestic Science is given all general duty per- sonnel. These include mess orderlies and kitchen helpers. Cooks have an intensive eight week training gourse in which they are given 2 scientific approach to the problem of preparing appetizing meals.

A fluffy omelette which will not fall before your eyes but will disappear in quick order when the family starts on it is Budget Omélette--it has bread crumbs added which extends the eggs and gives omelette body.

THE RIGHT MAN Dear Miss St. John: About six months ago the man I was going to marry died after a long sick- ness. While he was sick I found out I did not love him. He could not get well, so I did not tell him or anyone that I had changed toward him. Now I have met the right man. He wants me to marry him this summer, but I think people will say I am heartless to forget my first fiance. He does not live here and no one knows I am in love with another man. I have really made up my. mind to marry him soon. Do you think people will talk? LOIS, Answer: It will be less than a nine-day won- der, Lois. The world is too full of strange and astounding events at pres- ent for people to devote much time to such matters. If you are happy, let this be the least of your worries. INA ST. JOHN. FRIENDS OVERSEAS Dear Miss St. John: My son wants me to send some silk hose to friends he has made in Eng- land. They have'been very kind to him. Can you tell me if I have to pay duty? Thanking you. SYLVIA. Answer: There is a preferential duty of 29% on silk stockings, Sylvia. Nylon"or other artificial silk hose have a duty of 36%. ONLY ONE NAME Dear Miss St. John: My parents had peculiar ideas about naming ehildren. They thought one mame was enough. I am starting my own business now. I would like to have a second initial. Can you tell me if it is against the law to take a name oneself. BS ee 3! Answer: In your case there is nothing unlawful in taking a second name, R. N. INA ST. JOHN. NAVY BOY FRIEND Dear Miss St. John: I planned to marry when my boy friend gets his next leave. He is in the Navy. Is it true that I would not get an allowance until he has been in the Navy six months? My sister's hus- band joined the Navy and she got her allowance right away. READER. Answer: If a man is married when he enlists in the Navy his wife gets her allowance at once. When a man marries after his enlistment (in the Navy) the allowance is not paid until he has been in the Navy six months. INA ST. JOHN. NOT OVERPAID Dear Miss St. John: Does a soldier get such poor pay as some make out? I go with one. He always seems broke. MARY. Answer: A private in the Canadian Army receives $1.30 a day, Mary. Don't expect too many luxuries! INA ST. JOHN. George Knew the Answer A ee was attempting to explain to the class the difference between ab- stract and concrete, and was doing her best to make the explanation very simple and clear. "Now," she said. "Now," she said, "concrete is some- thing that you can see and abstract is something that you cannot see." A little boy looked quite enlightened so the teacher ventured to test her explanation. "George," she said, "give me the explanation of something con- creet?" "My pants," was George's reply. "Correct," said the teacher. "Now give be an example of something ab- stract?" "Yours," gleefully shouted George. a == Scott, Crane COMPANY INSURANCE - REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS Phones--633 1418 2413J 110 ONTARIO { STREET Canada's Nutrition "EAT RIGHT - oughly enjoy.
