What once were conserva-
tive white tuxedo shirts now
are ° trendy shirtdresses
styled with bold splashes of
Rit Dye color. All you need to
be right in style are two
white cotton shirts. Take the
top 3/4 of one shirt and 3/4 of
the bottom of the other, ad-
just for length and attach
them together at the waist
with stn elasticized casing.
You don't have to take
another stitch because the
shirttail becomes the hem.

MICROWAVE MAGIC
Lemons -- the
sunshine fruit.
By Desiree Vivea
If there's one thing I will
not have in my refrigerator,
it's one of those fake plastic
yellow lemon -things full of a
reasonable facsimile of
"lemon juice".
My kitchen is rarely
lemon -less — there are so
many uses for this delightful
fruit — and sinc it's avail-
able the year `round, I see no
reason to purchase a phony
plastic imitation of the real
thing.
•
Besides what if you need
sortie grated lemon zest in a
recipe? Grated yellow
plastic wouldn't quite do.
Lemons, real lemons, add
a tart and zesty touch to so
many dishes: Squeeze fresh
juice over any kind of fish,
over cooked vegetables and -
salads, into sauces' and
beverages of al i sorts.
There's nothing more re-
freshing than homemade
lemonade, which is just as
nice with breakfast as is the
more traditional glass of
orange juice. And then
there's lemon meringue pie,
second only to apple pie as a
favorite. (See microwave
recipe below.)
For those watching their
salt intake, lemon juice is a
tasty and healthy flavoring
alternative, And lemons are,
as everyone knows, ,high in,
vitamin C.

Lemons will stay fresh up
to two weeks at room tem-
perature, but up to six weeks
in the fridge. Stash one or
two in the vegetable crisper,
ready to squeeze a little sun-
shine in your recipes.
Micro -Tip: Warm 'whole
lemons in your microwave
for a few seconds before
squeezing. The fruit will
yield more juice, and will be
easier to squeeze. (Don't try
this with a plastic lemon!)

CHILDREN OF THE FOR-

PERCY MADDUX
In the Ituri rain forest of
central Africa live the Mouti
Pygmies, said to be the
smallest people on. earth
(the men generally four feet,
eight inches,' the women four
feet six i.uches) They are a
very primitive tribe that has
been here for thousands of
years.
Kevin Duffy, anthropolo-
gist with long experience
with primitive people,
especially in Africa, went to
live with them and tells his
experiences in the book
"Children of the Forest"
(this is what the Pygmies
there call themselves).
While this is a personal
narrative, it is full of in-
formation about the Mouti,
their habits, their beliefs,
and their customs, and there
are numerous dull finish
black and white photo-
graphs.
The book is easy to read
and basically exciting. It is a
journey into the forest with
the author.
