Some Cheese Suggestions
Scrap of cheese, or cheese that has,
become dry, should not be wasted, but
should be finely grated and' kept in
a well -corked bottle for future use.
It can then be used in many ways—
for making' savouries, sandwiches, or
omelets; it is also used by some cooks
for sprinkling into soups.

Hot cheese sandwiches.—Take a

Cheshire or other cheese. Place in
the oven till the roll is lightly

as satisfactory a cheese dish as cauli-

Prepare and cook a marrow in the
usual way, then transfer to an open
fireproof dish. Sprinkle with bread -

and a piece of butter the size of a wal-

Where Are the Six-Footets?
1111r. Andre Chariot, the famous Pro-
ducer, has recently been trying to get
a team of fifteen girls, each six feet
high, • for a USW London play
found that there weren't so many six-
footers among the girls of to -day, and
that, among those who passed the
height test, the majority weren't of
the type he required.
There are many �t the young wo
men of to -day who are tall, but those
who reach tate six-foot mark aren't al-
ways very pleased about it. The aver-
age man seems to fight rattier shy of
a wbman who is much taller than him -
a self, and then a tall man very often
marries a girl of the "petite" type.
d Height, indeed, counts for less now
e than ever it did, though, on the aver-
age, people appear to be taller than
formerly—many of the tallest people
