THE :SHIFT FROM TEA AND

Hello' Homeinakers! With tea and
coffee on the ratoned list, milk shakes
and fruit banks are coming into their
own as thirst quenchers. Milk our
most nearly perfect food, may be var-
ied in flavour by the addition of fruit
juices or ice cream. Fruit beverages,
too, have a definite place in summer
menus. In.making them, you need
not depend entirely on deftnit'e recipes
but . just use your imagination a bit
combining the fruit : juices on hand
and sweetening them just until the
tares is taken off, no more. To be
refreshing, fruit juices should not be
too sweet. Homemakers can do a
great deal to guide the tastes of the
family towards other satisfying and
most nutritive beverages. Remember
the bridegroom who told• the best man
that he was, a little nervous because
there were some things that he and
his bride did not agree on. "For in-
stance," he said, "she likes lemonade
and I like iced coffee. "Oh, well,"
replied the best man, "You'll soon like
lemonade,"

Comfortable things
Aire hens after grain,
And a good dry place:
In a patter of rain,

And joyful things
Are a sw'allow's flight,

A PICTORIAL ROUTINE
If you want to consistently make snapshots as technically fine as this,
establish a picture -making -routine and follow it..'
BR1HEN most people get their first
good camera, they immediately
expect something wonderful to hap-
pen. They feel that all their pic-
ture -making troubles will drift
away with the wind, and simel-
taueously they expect their camera
to start. producing pictures IiIce our
illustration—perteetly exposed and
composed, and replete with human
interest.
There's no doubt that the' camera
-any-good camera—is capable of
doing that. But there's one other
factbr which must also be con-
sidered—that is, the mind behind
the camera. A camera 'won't think
for you. You're the, one who has to
do the thinking, and if you don't
think things through you're likely
to let your camera down.
Basically that means you can't
be careless about any aspect of
picture making, and, get good pic-
tures. And for that reason' I'd sug-
gest that you establish a routine
covering the most important steps
in your picture malting, and double;
cheek each step , until you know
them all by heart.
Begin by asking yourself if you
have selected a subject 'which is
really interesting? Does it tell a
story in itself, or is the picture
part of a longer story you are tell-
ing with your camera? Have you
got everything in the picture that
you want, or are you taking In too
much? Have you chosen a good
angle of vlew0
Is your composition •
pictorially sound, like the ,picture
above?
When you're certain of those
points, check tip on your focus—is
it sharp? Measure the distance if
you're in doubt Then look to your•
shutter speed—is it fast enough to..
stop' any movement by your sub-
ject? Are you giving a full normal
exposure? Filially, are you releas-
ing the shutter so gently that the
camera will not be jarred asthe
picture is taken?
