Pictorial Labels for Fruit Jars and
Preserves Are the Latest
N0velties.

All sorts of labor-saving devices and
Arrangements are now being brought
out for the convenience OF the busy
woman Of to-day. Among the most re-
cent and really helpful of these may;
be reckoned the pictorial label which is
destined to take the place Of the hand
written labels which used to distinguish
the different preserves and jellies stored
in the fruit closet from each other, and
which took SO long to prepare. Many
a weary, busy, hurried housekeeper will
bless tho pictorial label this summer
and so will many a vacation-hungry boy
or girl who in other seasons has been
pressed unwillingly into the service Of
writing out fruit labels.
The pictorial label is simplicity it.

fruit indicated explains its object and
purpose alone. There is nothing to
confuse the eye Of the housekeeper az.
she runs over the shelves of her pre-
serve closet in search of a particular
fruit. Some of the designs show evil
dence of high degree of artistic merit.

once. but they may be purchased very
cheaply, and come all gummed and
ready to attach. 1t is safe to say that

Chicago housekeeper will make liberal
use Of them this year, and the fact that
the fruits which they distinguish may
be recognized much more quickly and
readily by means of their aid than with
that of the old-time written label con-

favor.-Chicaeo Times-Herald.
