Household.

A savory smell of boiling fruit suggests
that this is the season for preserving and
for preparing genuine fruit jeIlies, to
furnish variety in the winter months,
when most house-keepers feel the need
of store laid by. 1t is true that within
the last quarter of a century canned
fruits and gelatine jelley (of this it may
be truthfully said, call il by what name
you will, it tastes the same have
largely supplanted the rich preserve and
clear jelley that was the pride of the
hostess and the admiration of her
guests, but in no sense do these
factory products equal the dainty con-
serves upon which the housekeeper of
that day bestowed so much care.
There is d reaction in favor of home
made preserves, and the woman IS ex-
change in almost all the cities have or
ders for these from the fastidious 400,
and delicately nurtured women have
found their half-forgotten skill in this
high art of domestic life available as a
means of support for themselves and
families. 1t is to be hoped that many of
the June brides are now snugly esconced
in their own homes and have ere this de-
veloped a t.. ste for domestic duties and
pride in their successful efforts,
and that there is now a laudable desire
to fill the pantry shelves with trophies of
their skill in the art preservative.
For such work a charcoal furnace is
very convenient, and in one season almost
repays the cost, which is tri1ing. The
next essential is a porcelain preserving
kettle, better than any other, then
sound, fresh fruit and the best of white
sugar. These, in connection with pains
taking patience, will give most satisfac
tory returns.
Peaches abound most in this section,
and many people have a penchant for
this old-fashioned preserve. After select
ing the fruit with care, it should be pared
smoothly and halved. 1t requires some
skill to remove the seed if of the cling
variety, but the knack is soon acquired.
AS soon as cut the pieces should be
dropped into cold water as the air makes
them dark, and when there are enough
prepared weigh carefully. The old rule,
"pound for pound - holds good yet,
but if the preserve is put into Mason jars
less sugar viii answer. Ten pounds is as
much as ought to be undertaken at once.
Let the fruit and sugar stand together
over night and in the morning pour care
fully into the kettle. AS soon as it is
scalding hot remove the fruit with a
skinner on to large dishes and set IN the
sun. Let the syrup boil rapidly and
skim carefully, using the white
of egg to clarity it. When the
syrup is the consisteHeas of
honey put IN few pieces of the peaches
at time and let them boil until clear.
After all the fruit has been thoroughly
cooked, let it be again placed in the sun,
while the syrup is re- boiled. Let this be
thick as possible as it grows thinner by
standing Then STRAIN carefully while
hot over the fruit, and as soon as con-
venient put it into the jars. cover the

back, crossed in front with a few plaits
to conform them to the figure, and
knotted at the waist behind. This is a
style revived from one popular the latter
part of the last century.
On some of the new sleeves the mate
rails are again shaped to give increased
height to the shoulder-points. deep
cut is then made in the fore part, which
is more or less long. Into this space a
piece of material, shaped like an elon-
gated diamond, cut in half, is intro
duced. Where no alien fabric is en-
ployed, passementerie similarly shaped
is laid upon the sleeve
