Hubby's Night Out.

to getting out once n week tevenings) and ! agree
most heartily with his wife. I have been mar
ried a year and my husband has been out only
a few evenings since our marriage. but like 30.
w. would like once a week. l think, how
ever that when a man marries ne is supposed to
stay In with his wife. Men are very queer things.
Before they are married they will make all kinds
OF promises; they will never want to 20 out
evenings. never will they want to leave your side
but six months Of married life and they want to
60 back to their old habits. So you see. George
w. ! keep my hubby In Hike your wife does

one evening a month. Mrs. Is. BANKS.

Apple Jelly.

Apple Jelly is little regarded because
the apple is so common. Nevertheless IT
Is one OF our most excellent fruit ~jellies.
and It is a standard dependence OF the
French cook In the preparation Of fruit
pies and various other desserts. Apple
jelly Is best prepared from time to time
as II Is needed, though there Is no OBJ
lection to having two weeks supplies in
the house for fruit pies and general use.
For an apple jelly select a dozen firm,
w~ell-iavored apples. Fall plppins make
an excellent Jelly. but almost any we'll
favored, slightly tart apple will do for
this purpose. Do not peel the apples,
but cut them into perfect quarters, leav-
ing the core In. but removing any wormy
specks. Partially decayed apples are un
fit for this purpose. Pour a Pint OF cold
water over them and slice In half a
lemon. Put them in a po~rcelain-lined ket-
tie to boil. Let them cook for twenty
minutes. and then strain them through a
fine sieve or a coarse cloth. Add sugar
in the proportion Of a pound to every
pint OF Juice. Let the sugar and apple
Juice boil together for twenty minutes.
Then test the mixture and as soon as II
forms a Jelly pour II into cups.

would solicit all risks OF this kind, but
would require larger premium. 1t Is said
there is no risk a company may not take II
1t Is paid enough for it.
