SOME TIMELY ADVICE.
DO Not Keep Lemonade or Fruits tn
Vessels of TIN.

IL seems as this advice ought to be en-
tirely unnecessary; but the frequency
of accidents from the use of canned
fruits and lemonade which Is allowed
To stand IN open tin vessels shows that
there is still a great deal of popular ig-
noranee ON the subject. or else good
deal of cnrelcssness. So long as fruits
and their juices are contained In her
rietically sealed cans, no harm will re-
suit; at least, II the contents were prop
erly treated in advance. Hut Just as
soon as the air gets access, fermenta-
tion takes place. and the acid enters
into chemical combination with the
tin. Consequently, when can is
opened. the fruit should be removed
within an hour or so. and ought not TO
be allowed to stand. IL il be poured
into earthenware dishes. no poisonous
effects will be produced. even though
the liquid mass deteriorates so as to
become unpalatable. What Is true of
canned fruits is also true OF lemonade.
The latter should always be mixed in
a glass or earthenware pitcher. and not
In tin pail. At any rate. it should not
be permitted 10 remain for any time In
tin vessel. Numerous eases of poi
soning from this cause are ON record
and fresh ones are reported every sum

Mrs. kohler's life was Of interest
in more ways than this, however. She

for 20 years had lived with her daugh-

A very good authority ON fruit pre-
serving considers that the plan followed
by many housekeepers, of using a small
proportion of sugar. and in consequence
boiling the preserve longer, is falIacy,
as the more sugar used the greater the
bulk of preserve obtained, less being
wasted in long boiling and evaporation.
while the flavor of the fruit is more re-
talned. \ quick fire should be use.d.
and. of course. the preserve continual

boiled long enough drop little into

another way is TO drop little on plate.

ticiently boiled and should at once be

WEDDING INVITATIONS.
The Correct fsrn of the Day ga
Ea-hi.ea bte Circles.


Wedding invitations have greatly
changed Ia the past few months. The
fashionable wedding invitation il no
lougvr printrl on the sheet of note
paper which folds to TT square en-
Vclopc. the sheet now ascd for that
purpose being g.. inches long and 81.
wide. thereby requiring an oblong en-
veiope. The paper has a smooth. duh
finish. like parchment, instead OF the
foruhcr glazed surfacc, The script ON
the new insitatIcnSis shout the same
size rs that on the old ouc-> and the
words aud lines are brought rather
nearvr together. 80 that the wording
occupies the center OF the sheet. with
wide margins about ~, while some pco-
pie even use what IN termed the para
graph form. in which the words run
straight along. instead Of being ar
ranged In lines ct varying lengths. aud
the result is quite good.
The wording OF wedding invitation.
by the way. does not always receive the
attention which it should. For
church wedding the parents of the
bride request the "honor of your pres
cncc." whereas for home wedding
the pleasure of your company" is
asked Then. again. for a home we'd
ding. the name OF the guest is often
inserted. such as Mr.. aud Mrs. William
Iompkins request the pleasure OF
- - company at the marriage
of their daughter. OF course. as this
latter form more closely resembles
personal invitation. II Is more of
compliment TO the guest. At a very
stylish wedding recently the parents
Of the bride simply requested the 'hon-
or of your presence NJ the marriage OF
their daughter at Grace church." her
name being omitted entirely. though
the calling cards of both bride and
groom were inclosed.
The invitation to the wedding break
fast or reception Is about the same as
those of last year. save that the cards
are a triiie more oblong. The wedding
announcement is printed ON the same
