the older woman. 'sThey spend years in
this dull. monotonous grind, and have no
home life, no companionship, no influence

The three autumn jellies advisable for
housekeepers to make are ounce, grape
and wild plum-the last named being finer
for game tina any jelly made, in the
opinion of the ''Woman's Home, Compan-
ion, The method of making after the
Juice is procured, is the same for all.
Measure the juice and boil for twenty
minutes; add a pint of ~granulated sugar
which has been heated in the oven-for
each pint of the juice, and as soon as it
is thoroughly dissolved skim and fill into
tumblers, each having in it a silver spoon
to prevent cracking. Jelly SO made will
never fail
To produce the quince-juice, just cover
the parings and cores left from the pre-
served fruit (from which all stems
and defective parts have been left out)
with cold water; boil until soft, mash and
drain. An equal weight of tart apples
may be added and cooked with the par
ings.
The point in grape jelly is to have the
grapes at their best stage, which is just
when they are red, before turning purple.
Ripe grapes, of course, can be made into
jelly, but it is not nearly so fine in flavor
or color. Stem the grapes, add a pint of
water to six quarts, heat slowly (mash-
ing them), and boil gently until all the
Juice is freed; strain. Wild grapes make
a fine jelly.
The wild plums must be covered with
cold water, brought to a boil, cooked to a
soft mass, and strained.

times their original bulk. and may be
used for breakfast or luncheon, or served
