TAKE A TIP
1. To cook or bake fillets of fish,
tering water out of new piece of
cheesecloth; then lay fillets on
it. Lifting fillets out with the
cloth prevents them from break-
ing into pierces. Rinse the cloth
in warm water and it can be used
again.
2. To remove fish odour, rub ' the
pan in whith fish is cooked with
orange or ,lemon rind.
3. A piece or orange rind put into
water in which suet or steam
pudding is being cooked will .make
the pudding roll out of the cloth
easily.
4. To clean a stained enamel kettle,
cook applesauce or tomatoes in
it. These foods ]nay be eaten—
there is no danger.

CikeSNAPSI-JOT GUILD
YOUR SNAPSHOT COLLECTION
Good pictures deserve good presentation. To show snaps like this at
their best, have them enlarged and mounted in an album.
TT MAY not be a national scandal
1 as yet, but it's pretty well known
that most snapshot collections are
kept in a lamentable state. And
that's too bad, because good pictures
-like the one above, for instance
deserve a better fate than being
generally kicked around.
In grooming your snapshot collec-
tion for display to your friends, you
should start by getting an attrae-.
tive album. And get one which is
big enough—in page size, that te—
te allow you some freedom of ar-
rangement when it comes to insert-
ing the pictures. Among the better
modern albums are those with pages
made trent folds of transparent eel-
lulose. Your prints slip between the
transparent folds: This method -pro-
tects prints from dirt and, scratches,
and presents them in the best pos-
sible manner.
When you've chosen your album,.
reaIIy give your snapshots .•a going
over. Curl the good from thebad,
and just include your best pictures
In your album. Eliminate those
which may be out of; loous, or chose
that were snapped just as the sub-
ject or the camera moved. And after
you've done that, go through the
pictures you've selected and choose
some for enlargement. There's noth-
ing like an enlargement to, make an
album sparkle, and if it's' one of
your beat pictures at. that, . it will
give your collection that top-notch,
4lrst-class look.
Here's another good stunt in con-
nection with the album. Arrange
your pictures chronologically—even
though they may be somewhatun-'
related snapshots—so that they tell
the story of the year or season when
they were taken. And add brief cap-
tions. Youmay knew who and what
every picture represents, but if the
snapshots aren't captioned the pee
ple who look at them may be left
guessing.
Finally arrange your pictures
throughout the album in the most
attractive way you know how;Don't
use the same layout on each page.
Rather place here" an enlargement;
there :a series of smaller prints.
Variety is not only the spice of life
