To Keen Fruit Fresh

Many housekeepers are puzzled to
know how to keep the most perishablc
of the summer fruits-cherries, cur
rants, blackberries, etc. If all imper
feet or decayed portions are removed.
and the fruits placed either in the ice
box-not on the ice-or in draught of
cool or damp air, they will keep over
night. Dampness and warmth will sure
ly spoil them. The stems may be re-
moved If they are to be used soon, but
care must be taken not to bruise them.
Cherries and plums which have been
in the ice box for several hours will
show pretty bloom in the atmosphere
of the dining room. When berries are
sound the best way to keep them is to
spread them upon a dry platter so that
the air can touch them all around, and
place them in cool current of air. Ex-
perience is the best teacher in the treat
ment of fruit, because that raised in diff
ferent localities Is of different substance,
the firmest keeping better than the
watery kind.
Too great care cannot be exercised in
the selection and treatment of fresh
fruit; for, while it is natures finest food,
it also is one of the most dangerous. 1t
should be eaten plentifully when ripe
and sound, but avoided like poison If de-
cayed.-Juliet Carson in the New York
Times.

The Pretty Home Made Screen

inexpensive, but very good looking
screens may be made from clothes
horse. If a fourfold screen in desired.
put two twofold horses together with
double hinges. The frame may be paint
ed with ordinary paints enamel paints
or stained and vanished. If a paper
covered screen is to be made, first cover
it with unbleached muslin drawn tight
ly over the folds, and cover with glue
size to shrink it. The paper is then
put over the cloth. Cartridge paper,
either plain or figured, mating, Gre
tonne, denim, silk, art muslin, boiling
cloth, leather and Lincrusta Walton.
burlap, glass and metal are all used for
screens. If they are to be used in the
hall or for piazza, burlap in an olive
green, in a frame stained or painted
green, or fine mating figured in a
weave, is suitable covering. The bur-
lap, leather or carved wood or metal
may any of them be used in q dining
room or hall. Bolting cloth in dainty
frames, and embroidered or painted
with an all-over tangle of leaves and
flowers, is used to cover both window
and fire screens in rooms that are fur
nished in light colors. If home made
screen for the fire is to do actual SER
vice before a CRATE, select one-fold
low clotheS-horSe and cover the side
towards the fire with zinc or tin. Cover
the side towards the room with any
material suited to it's surroundings The
most beautiful fire screens to be had
have brass frames, holding a panel of
stained or jeweled glass.-New York

of large cherries and save the Juice that
comes from them. Wash and pull into
pieces the white heart of a head of let
tuce. Cut into slices the half of a med
ium sized cucumber. Blanch and chop
fine half a dozen almonds. Mix all the
ingredients together and arrange them
on fancy dish. and pour over them
the following dressing: Pour one gill
of sherry over four tablespoonfuls of
powdered sugar; add a tablespoonful of
lemon juice, and the same amount of
maraschino, and stir until the sugar is
dissolved.
One way to make a cherry pie is to
have the fruit uncooked. Line a deep
pie plate with pie crust and bake. Have
ready rich pitted cherries; if tart. let
them lie in sugar awhile, and fill the
plate closely with the fruit. Make mer-
ingue of the whites of three eggs and
three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar
and pile it over the cherries, heaping
it in the center. Scatter cherries over
the top, pressing them into the meringue.
so that they are partly covered, and
place the dish in moderate oven for ten
or fifteen minutes.
Pitted cherries may be torn into halves
and stirred into a frosting to put be-
tween layer cake. For the top use the
plain frosting and row Of stoned cher
ries around the edge.
Much the best way to cure cherries
curing in the sun. Have as many
pounds of granulated sugar as of ston-
ed cherries. Put the sugar in porcelain
lined kettle with the Juice of the cher
ries. Place on the fire and cook until
the sugar is entirely dissolved. Then
put In the fruit and cook just five min
utes. Spread the hated fruit and syrup
on large platters and place them in the
hot sun. Cover them with a netting
and keep them in the sun for three or
four days until they are as rich and thick
as needed. A hot sun and dry air will
cook them quickly. Place in jelly glasses
of bowels and cover
Spiced cherries make fine relish to
serve with meats. To four pounds of fruit
add two pounds of granulated sugar and
one pint of vinegar. Tie few spices in
muslin bag and put with the fruit. Let
the fruit simmer uncovered until the
juice is semi-jelly when cold.
To make glace cherries. Boil together
for half an hour one cup of water and one
of granulated sugar. Dip a fork in the
syrup after 1t has been boiling the given
time and then in water: If the threads
formed break off brittle the syrup is
done. Stand the dish containing the
syrup in one of boiling water. Take the
cherries by the stems or long darning
needle If the stem is gone and dip them
in the syrup, and place them on a dish
that has been lightly buttered, and let
them dry in a warm room or in an open
sunny window. Cherries prepared in
this way will keep a little time, and
may be used to ornament Bavarian
creams, cornstarch or gelatine desserts.

Rip Went Back to sIeep

Certainly" said Rip Van Wrinkle.
confusedly, "mein long sleep has mein
brain addict. Eferyding vas differ
endet as vat it vas usedt to be-"
He had wandered into a hall wherein
We're gathered learned men. Many of
them talked at the same time and all
contradicted each other
On d1aS under a canopy sat one
whose snowy locks should have gained
for him respect and obedience. But it
was not SO. In spite of his exalted DO
sition the wrangling savants needed
him but little. In another part Of the
hall We're seen gentle women, conspicu-
Gus of raiment and redolent with the
ease and comforts of life.
And present, also, were many poets
and scribes and artists and some preach
ers of the gospel.
But among them all was one woman,
sombre in attire, to whom all paid hom-
age. The poets squeezed the muse and
drfpped romance on paper. And it was
of Her. The artists Wed with each
other in making silent counterparts Of
each play of the features. Her features.
The scribes lost not a word. About Her.
And the gentle women of gorgeous raj
ment looked and listened and envied.
What the preachers did or why they
were there appeared not to Rip.
At length, the learned men having be-
come hoarSe with much speech; the
poets and scribes and artists having fled
to lay their work before the eyes of the
people which the hall could not con-
tain; the gentle women being glutted
with the vision of their god-head; the
white-haired, powerless ruler on the
dias being faint with hunger and re-
bellion-it came to pass that the woman
was left alone. Then did Rip Van Win
kle approach her.

SOME COOL NIGHT ROBES
Accordion Pleated Sleeves - The Japanese
klmono

Nightgowns which are being offered
for summer wear show some delightful
innovations in the direction of comfort
and GOODNESS. The tendency is toward
constantly increasing sheerness Of mate
rial, greater fullness of the sleeves and
lighter weight of trimming throughout.
The finest lawn alternates with delicate
MULE. and this in return is replaced by
thin India silk, which is, perhaps, the
coolest material Of all. A pretty one
was of white MULE, with square neck Of
lace insertion. The most important part
of the robe was the sleeves, which hung
in full accordion plaits from the narrow
yoke. At the bottom these sleeves were,
of course, very full and the comfort they
afford is indescribable. The idea is
new one and deserves to be popular.
Another mark of novelty is the very
deep collar seen on some of the latest
muslin gowns. There is no attempt at
a stock effect at the neck, the collar
turning back simply and reaching down
nearly to the waist line. It's edge is
deeply pointed and bordered with ex-
quisite lace, which is also used to form
flounces at the wrists. The collar itself
Is finely plated and very full.
French embroidery to many tastes is
much daintier than lace, and some ex-
ceedingly pretty specimens Of it are seen
on the summer models. One has deep
sailor collar, very deep ruffies on the
sleeves and has bows of white taffeta
at the neck and waist.
Ribbon is favorite trimming on night
gowns as we'll as day costumes. The
pretty taffetas are much in demand and
make wonderfully jaunty little bows.
Some of the mule gowns, which are
made with deep lace yokes, and pretty
lace jabots reaching the entire length
of the front, have little taffeta butterfly
bows on the shoulders and sleeves and
sash Of the same tied about the waist,
with a bow in front.
Perhaps the most comfortable pattern
is the "kimono,' or Japanese night
gown, which is cut after the most sim
pie model that could we'll be devised. 1t
hangs straight from the neck, the sleeves
are like square blocks inserted into
lengthwise Sits, while of fitting the fig
ure there is no pretense whatever Such
gown has usually a border of embroid-
cry about the neck, sleeves and bottom
and down the front. while succession
of little bows serve instead of hooks and
buttons. The bows are often of colored
ribbon, though there are many women
who prefer that their robes de mutt shall
be consistently white throughout.-New

pasteboard limitations.
A number Of Ontario's best singers
took part in the performance, Miss Hell

Engraved Diamonds ls the New Fad

The newest kind of Jewel is an en-
graved diamond. Several jewelers. in
Paris are executing orders for this ex-
pensive fad. The process of engraving
diamond is an exceedingly lengthy
one and the cost is proportionately
great.
Hitherto is has been considered i'm
possible because no tool can be found
hard enough to cut the stone The use
of electricity, however, renders this pos
sible. An electric motor Of very high
speed actuates a flexible shaft to the end
of which is attached the tiny cutting
tool, loaded with diamond dust. The
diamond is firmly set in bed of lead and
the engraver works the freely moving
shaft in any direction necessary, like
a dentists drill. He can thus cut any
pattern in a diamond by the little tool,
which revolves at an enormous speed
This is reversing the usual process of
cutting a diamond. The lapidary's
wheel rotates at fixed axis, while he
moves the diamond around. This meth
cd is entirely too clumsy for the delicate
process of engraving. so the diamond
is fixed. The operator can then see just
exactly what he is doing. Only fiat or
table diamonds can be engraved.
A prominent Partisan jeweler has
turned out a bicycle scarfpin made out of
two single diamonds. The result is an
exact representation of a bicycle in
miniature, made entirely of diamonds.
