marks front the captain i took the tilled and headed for the south end of la gonaives several hours later we rounded point gantasque extreme tip of the island and there pictured in vivid greens and browns against a back ground of blue sky and still bluer sea lay the little island of la petite gon aives it is formed of coral and is so small that it could be crossed in a hop skip and jump as the

which are com mon inhabitants of the haitian roan- side these lizards known as ameiva chrysolaema are among the most con spicuous lizards of haiti they have bright yellow stripes and polkadots and they live frequently in colonics near the rivers as they are very nervous creatures they are hard to approach and when startled they dash through the blush with apparent dis regard for thorns and

lies in itsdressing a successful french salad should be dressed before it goes to table only best olive oil should be used to make a french dressing and tho proportions are three spoonfuls of oil to one of vinegar many people however prefer to add the three spoonfuls of oil to their salad seeing that the lettuce etc is well coated and toss in the vinegar dressing afterwards to each spoon ful of vinegar half a teaspoonful of salt pepper and sugar should be added tarragcn vinegar may be add ed to the other vinegar to vary the flavour sometimes the dressing whether made with or without the oil should be kept as cool as possible an onion wiped round the inside of the salad bowl will improve the flavour of the salad tremendously without giving too decided a flavour of onion bought mayonnaise or sated cream soon runs away with the housekeeping money so it is as well to know that there are homemade dressings that will keep and if you make a supply in some of your slack moments in the kitchen you will find it much more economical the following dressing will keep almost indefinitely if bottled and kept in a cool place place four tablespoonfuls of castor sugar in a howl with six teaspoonfuls of tarragon or white vinegar whichever you prefer one teaspoonful of mig nonette paper salt pepper and mustard to taste stir frequently dur ing the day with a wooden spoon cover and leave till the next day when six teaspoonfuls of salad oil should bo added drop by drop about blinds to revive coloured blinds that have become slightly faded smear lightly and evenly with linseed oil apply
