Watermelon Rind.-Pare off the green
outside and cut out the pink inside, slicing
the white part in thick strips. Weigh eight
pounds and put it in the preserving kettle.
Boil one ounce of alum in one gallon of
water till dissolved and pour over the
rinds; stand on the back OF the stove for
three hours. Have some ice water ready
then, and lift them out into this, letting
them lie for half an hour. Then take four
pounds of brown sugar, one quart OF vim
egar, and a cupful of mixed spices tied in
a bag, and boil together for three minutes,
skimming it: cool little, and drop in the
rinds, and simmer gently for half an hour;
put in jars, boil down the syrup and pour it
over
Picked Tomatoes.-Get the small yellow
pear-shaped tomatoes, and wash. wipe and
weigh them. TO seven pounds, take three
pounds of sugar, half ounce each of
stick cinnamon and whole cloves, piece of
ginger root as large as your little finger.
and three pepperCorns, with quart of
vinegar. Tie the spices in a bag, and boil
with the sugar and vinegar for FIVE minutes.
Cool. then drop in the tomatoes and simmer
slowly till they are clear; put them in jars
and boil down the syrup and pour it over
them.
Spiced Grapes-These are most delicious
with cold meats. Press the skins from the
grapes and put the pulp through the col
ander add the skins and weigh. To every
seven pounds of grapes, add one cupful of
vinegar, two ounces of powdered cinnamon,
one ounce of powdered cloves and three and
half pounds of sugar. Boil an hour and
half, till thick, and then bottle. Small
Damson plums are very nice prepared in
this way.
Picked Peaches and Pears-Take large
peaches and pare, but do not cut them;
stick three cloves in each. Weigh seven
pounds of fruit to three and three-quarters
of sugar. Put the sugar in a porcelain
kettle with quart of vinegar, two sticks
of cinnamon and a tablespoonful Of whole
cloves, and boil ten minutes. Add the fruit
a few pieces at time and cook till clear,
but not soft as they will cook in the cans
Lift them into the cans, boil down the
syrup and pour over them. Pears should
have their stems left on and be picked
whole unless they are very large, when they
are better cut in halves and cored. Large
plums are also nice prepared in this way
When any of these pickles are used in
winter, save the syrup and cook cored and
quartered apples in it, and use without
canning them.

sleeve with a puff beneath is much liked.
This is cut in one. stripes OF velvet produc-
ing the effect Of a puff. Trimming is used
very freely, and undersleeves will be worn
throughout winter. The under part instead
of being thin, transparent material, will
be velvet or heavy silk
Colored velvets are to be a stylish dress
goods for late fall and winter. These will
include plain weaves and others designed
with contrasting lines not unlike those Of
last season and spotted with polka dots like
foulards. Gray velvet with lines Of black
or white or sprinkled with white spots is
very pretty and several shades OF brown
are attractive. Brown velvet with red lines
is a novelty From such materials some
form of simplicity may be expected.
Cloths with hairy surface are to be fash
ionable, yet hardly will GUST satin-faced
materials, as the hairy stuffs rarely are
dressy. For general wear they are more
desirable. Anything pretty in silk, no mat
ter how thin, anything in lace and net
lined with chiffon may be of service in
autumn and winter as we'll as midsummer.
Suits of these will be used for evening
afternoon reception wear and luncheons.

Muslin appears to be growing greatly in
favor for art needlework. Many workers
use muslin as foundation or ground upon
which to paint When backed or lined
with a good satin the sheen of the rich
material shows very effectively through,
and a table center can be daintily finished
with puffings or frills of chiffon. Also an
overlap of muslin is useful in softening or
toning down any hard or metallic effect
such is given by MORE silk, etc.
A new kind of work is lace royal, and
here we have muslin over net as founda-
ton or material TO work upon. Large col
lars and trimmings for dresses in this are
really charming. A graceful design of
violets and leaves was traced and then
finely embroidered in delicate tints with
filo-foss silk, the outline or shape of collar
was closely buttonholed with silk, and the
raw edges then cut neatly away. The eff
feet of net under the muslin is good. and.
while IL gives additional strength, at the
same time does not detract from the light
ness OF the material.
Another good design in this work is tina:

and straight bands of insertion-like trim

shape or style can be designed with end
less variations as TO flowers and coloring
