The art OF serving fruit artistically
should be studied quite as much as the
art OF serving it palatably. No one will
deny that the appearance OF dish has
a great deal to do with ones enjoyment
of it. Fruits properly arranged form
a handsome centre piece when flowers
are not available Red apples make
pretty dish when wiped with damp
towel and arranged in a fruit dish with
some sprigs Of green here and there
among them.
Corn Soup--One quart OF milk. one
pint Of grated green corn. the same
quantity OF water, two tablespoonfuls
of flour. a slice Of onion and pepper

and onion come to boil. Mix the butter
and flour together. and add few tea
spoonfuls Of milk. When perfectly
smooth stir into the remainder of the
milk and cook eight minutes. Take
out the onion and corn, season to taste
and serve.

the tomatoes and cucumbers from ice
and cut them into a glass dish in alter
nate layers, and serve with any dress
ing preferred. either mayqanaise or
French.

sugar for five minutes, chen add one
point CT boiling milk; place on the

The preserving season is now upon
us. Though fruit is exceedingly scarce
this year, it is presumed that the eager
housewife will manage to procure some
for that purpose.
Its now the time when women
Forget about their nerves
And spend their days and evenings
In putting up preserves.
They're peering into kettles,
They're closely watching pans,
And at the proper moment,
They're filling jars and cans.
They're making jams and jellies
And sweetest marmalade,
And fruit fresh from the orchards
Is into butter made.
They're pairing, seeding slicing
A work in which they're skilled,
And when a kettles emptied
Again it's promptly filled.
."rhe women burn their fingers,
And pretty faces, too.
But patiently they re working
Until the task is through.
And though the bubbles grumble
When women thus prepare,
Just witch them in the winter,
And see them grab their share
