LAMI3IE-PIE NONSENCE
Mary had a little lamb,
It hadn't any mummy;
And every time she hugged it
She hurt its little tummy.
Mary loved this little lamb,
It .was the cutest thing;
She tied a bell around its neck
To hear it ting -o -ling.
The lamb it grew and grew
Beyond any question.
Mama made it into stew•--
It gave Mary indigestion:
Now Mary has a boy friend
He's really quite a bore;
No matter how much she snubs him
He keeps coating back for more.
Mary has tried to get rid of him
Now isn't it a pity
That she can't stew him,
And so end this little ditty.

salad which can be made with three
different kind's of fish. It is a good
basic recipe which allows for neees-

you choose, (and plan to make it

is over), you will find it a popular
addition to your stock of .recipes.
JELLIED FISH SALAD
2 cups flaked fish.—salmon, lob-
ster or crab, cooked or canned
malt
1 tablespoon gelatin. •
1 cup salad dressing
2 tablespoons chopped parsley or
celery tops (green)
•
2 tablespoons chopped, stuffed
olives or pickles or pimiento
Paprika
bi cup cold water
1 cup chopped celery
Soak the gelatin In the cold water
for 5 minutes and then dissolve over
boiling water. Add the salad dres-
sing and fold in the fish and chopped
relishes, omitting any which you can-
not obtain. Left -over fish, or half
fish and half moat make a good com-
bination. Turn into moulds—or one
large mould—which have been dip-
ped in cold water. Chill and unmould
on crisp lettuce. Garnish with rad-
ishes or olives. Diced chicken and
lobster make a good combination.
Serves 8.
SANDWICH SPREADS
Summer brings the happy prospect
of many meals outdoors. Whether
picnic, garden party or tea on the
lawn, sandwiches will be almost stan-

endless and surprising variations and
combinations of food which can be
placed between two slices of bread,
sandwiches would have disappeared
from menus long ago, It is true
that the standby of all our childhood
Sunday School picnics, salmon sand-
wiches, are as popular today as ever
and appear as regularly as the pic-
nics. But the whole story of sand-
wiches is not told with salmon. Here
are some ideas for making delicious

CHOOSING THE NEW CAMERA
For sharp pictures of fast-moving vacation -time games, you'll need a
camera with high shutter speeds. A fast lens is helpful, too, when light
conditions are adverse.
ABOUT this time of year — and
especially with vacations in the
oiling—many of us feel the need of
a diner camera, with greater picture -
taking ability.
A fine camera is about as easy to
operate as any other, once you are
familiar with it. But there is a differ-
ence in usefulness between the livor.
camera and the inexpensive model.
Under adverse conditions, especially
on dull days or with moving sub-
jects, the inexpensive camera is
handicapped. It may fail to get the
very: picture you want must. But
under the same conditions, the flue
camera performs capably—insuring
good pictures within much wider
limits.
In '.choosing your' diner camera,,
consider these points, carefully, so'.
that you can select a model which,,
exactly ,fats your picture -taking
needs:
If you 'want to be able to take
pictures outdoors under ell daylight
conditions, bright or dull, early
morning or, late afternoon, choose a
camera with a fast lens—an 1.6.3,
L4.5 or faster. For night snapshots
by ordinary' electric dight, without
"flood",lamps, get a camera with E.2
lens, If "flood" lamps are used, a.
slower lens will do.
If you want to take pictures of
moving subjects — or those likely
to move—choose a camera which
has a precision. shutter with high
speeds. A. shutter speed of 1/400 or
1/500 second is needed for sports
and fast action shots; 1/200 for mod-
erate action; and 1/100 for snaps of
slow action or subjects such as
babies or pets which may move sud-
denly and unexpectedly.,
Some camera shutters now have
built-in self-timor devices, which en-
able you to appear in pictures taken
by yourself. Naturally, the self -timer
is an advantage in a vacation or fam-
ily
amily 'camera.
Now for picture size. If you ex-
pect to have your pictures finished
as contact prints for album use,
don't choose a camera that takes too
small .a picture. If, however, you
plan to make enlargements, it's safe
to pick a camera iu the "miniature"
group. And, if yon want to take full-
color transparency pictures, for
Iarge-size projection on a home
screen, a miniature camera is just
what you need.'
it's wise to obtain your finer cam-
era well in advance of your vacation,
and practice using it. Since thesoj
fine cameras are precision instr':u,
meats, see that yours receives prop-
er care. If treated well, such a cam-
