able child is not considered complete
without a dance frock of some sort. A
visit to the establishment of any we'll

delights in Juvenile finery. The tex

low and spread out to display all the
width of the ribbon. The 'abdomi-

IN STRAWBERRY
TIME PREPARE
FOR WINTRY DAYS
BY KATE BUNCE.

While in the midst of strawberry
time, the conserving of the fruit for
winter use should not be overlooked.
Although it has the reputation of be-
ing hard to preserve, no fruit will so
repay a little extra care. With proper
handling it will retain both shape and
flavor.
Preserved Strawberries To each
quart of weH-chosen berries. allow l
pound of granulated sugar, and to each
3 quarts l pint of water. Place the
berries in a large shallow bowl and put
the water and the sugar in a kettle
and stand over the fire. Let boil slow
ly for ten minutes, then remove all the
scum and set aside. When cold, pour
the syrup over the berries cover the
bowl and let stand for twelve hours.
At the end of that time drain off all
the syrup, boil it for ten minutes, again
set aside, and when cold pour over the
fruit. Repeat this process at the ex-
piration of another twelve hours. Next
day drain the berries carefully, place
the syrup over the fire and let it boil
until il threads. Then add the berries
and cook very slowly, removing all the
scum from time to time. When a lit
tie. poured upon a plate. will stand
without spread, the cooking is HnlSneQ.
Remove from the fire and pack in
heated jars, filling each one to the point
of running over. Screw the lids on
loosely, let stand until cold. and then
screw the covers on firmly and store
away until needed.
Strawberries Preserved in the Sun
Nowhere is fruit more perfectly pre-
served in the Old Dominion State,
where every housewife still prides her
self on the store closet filled with
danties for winter use. A famous
method makes use of the heat of the
sun.
For each pound of the hulled fruit
allow q of pound of white sugar.
Mix the sugar with just enough water
to moisten it thoroughly and put over
the fire. Let boil until a syrup is
formed removing all scum. Put the
berries in a shallow earthen dish, pour
the boiling syrup over Them, cover with
glass, and stand in the sun for two
days Stir gently and occasionally.
On the third day drain off the syrup,
which will be found thinned by the
Juice of the fruit and again place it
over the fire Let boil for a moment
or two. and during the process drop in
a lump of alum as large as an ordinary
bean for each quarts. Again pour
the hot syrup over the berries, and,
after covering with glass, set in the sun.

Canned Strawberries Easily Pre-

and inner folds often show streaks
as we'll.
Such parasols. which are not good
enough for use and are too good to
throw away, can be made in the latest
styles with an outlay of some time and
perhaps little money.
If the parasol to be treated is of
colored silk suitable for street use,
cover the center of the top with a
straight band of silk, put on in a cir
Gle and shirred several times to fit
at the stick, leaving about an inch of
the silk free to form a frili about the
stick. If preferred a bow of ribbon
can be tied there. The edges should
be fastened down with one of the pop
ular fancy stitches or an edging of
braid initiating some fancy stitch.
Inside the edge an irregular border,
formed of several colors of French
knots, Is pretty. The knots, or what
ever decoration the applied top has,
should be put on before it is fastened
TO the parasol. Tuck band. from two
to four inches in width, of the same
sort of silk that forms the top circle,
and edge it with the braid or stitching
which has been used at the top. This
trims the edge of the parasol. A bow
of the same color may trim the ham
die.
Blue, green, white, light ecru, red
and nickel gray are favorite colors for
parasol borders. OF these white is the
favorite. In refurbishing an old para
sol a color must be used that does not
make the material of the parasol look

Another way to trim a parasol is
with a fiat, fitted circle over the top,
decorated with circles, about the size
of a dollar, worked with Oriental col
ors in chainstitch or French dots.
These can be purchased. ready made,
by the yard. The same disks scatter
ed over parasols are fashionable.
Where the parasol has streaks. on
the ribs and inner folds, an inch wide
band of silk can be stitched or frilled
over the streaks. In this case, the bor-
der of the parasol is usually finished
with the same border or frill. Checked,
striped and figured ribbons are much
used for this style of trimming. Plaid
ribbons can be used with good effect
on plain color foundations.
A white or ecru parasol trimmed in
this manner has bands of white or
ecru lace galloon, or gathered chiffon,
extending from the center to the Dor
der of the parasol, where flounces of

It showed that Mr.. Magelssen had
been shot at by some person at the time
unknown to the officials, but that he
had not been hit. The local Turkish off,
cials were prompt to express their re-
gret at the occurrence and were exert
ing themselves to apprehend the assas-
sin but thus far had been unsuccessful
The minister's dispatch also said
that Consul Ravndal had reported to
him that some Of the foreign consuls
located at Beirut had reported to their
governments that the situation at that
place had become exceedingly unsafe,
that this condition of affairs had ex-
listed for some time and that something
ought to be done to relieve the ten
sion. The opinion was expressed that
the attempted assassination Of Magels-
sen probably would bring matters to q
focus, the attention of the Turkish
government being drawn to the mat

But He Announces That Warships Will
Proceed to Beirut.
Oyster Bay, Aug. 29.-President
Roosevelt was informed last night of
the incorrectness of the report that
Vice Consul William C. Magelssen at
Beirut, Syria, had been assassinated.
The president expressed gratifica-
tion that Consul Magelssen had escap-
ed without injury from the assault of
the would-be murderer. He announc-
ed, however, that no change at present
would be made in the plans of this gov.
ernment and that the European squad
ron, which he has ordered to proceed
Immediately to Beirut, would continue
to its destination.
It can be said that the president
and Secretary Of State Hay both re-
gard it as advisable, in view of the
present state Of unrest in Turkey, to
have American war vessels in Turkish
waters.
For several hours Friday President
Roosevelt and Secretary Of State Hay
were in conference at Sycamore Hill.
They discussed every suggested phase
of the situation in Turkey. At the
conclusion of the conference Secretary
Hay announced his intention Of re-
turning Immediately to Washington.
Serious View Of Turkish Situation.
The fact that Secretary Hay thinks
his presence in Washington to be
necessary at this time indicates the
serious view he takes Of the Turkish
situation. He had not intended to re-
turn to Washington for several weeks,
but developments in the Ottoman EN-.
pire during the past few days induced
him to come to Oyster Bay for a con.
ference with the president, after which
It, was deemed desirable by both that
he should return to Washington at
least for couple Of weeks. He left
for Washington last night. -
At IL o'clock last night a telegram
was received by Secretary Loeb from
Acting Secretary of State Loomis at
Washington communicating the text
of cablegram from Minister Leish-
man at Constantinople confirming the
inaccuracy Of the report of Consul
Magelssen's assassination. Secretary
Loeb communicated its contents to the
president by telephone.
It can be said to be the purpose Of
President Roosevelt to afford Ameri=
can citizens in the disturbed provinces
of Turkey all the protection possible.
For that reason and for others which
may develop in short time the de.
cision is reached that no change will
be made at this time in the orders to
the European squadron. Admiral Cot
ton will proceed with his vessels to
Turkish waters with the idea of safe
guarding fully American citizens and
American interests.

Governor White believes a separate

statement after personal investiga-
ton OF conditions, but he declines to
call the session unless he is assured
OF the cooperation and support Of
tWo-thirds of the members of the leg
islature. Steps will be taken in a week
or ten days to ascertain the sentiment
OF the members. At the end Of that
time. the governor says, it will be
possible to make a positive statement,

cultural college, university, deaf school,

normal school at Valley City, and con-
suited with the trustees of the state
asylum at jamestown. All Of the in

OF the different institutions the gov
ernor obtained figures of the least
amounts it would be possible for them
to get along with in the present emer-
gency. The total of these is slightly
over 100000.
This sum, however, does not include
the Wahpeton school of science or the
Glendale industrial school. AS no
contracts have been let or building
done at Wahpeton. and as the indus
trial school borrowed money on its
certificates at per cent, and is not
pressed for funds for payment, there
is no great emergency at either of
these places.
The governor says it will be impos-
sible to provide from the general fund
for the present needs of the other in

the running expense of the state.
Some OF the state papers oppose the
proposed extra session of the lcgisla-

gest that the state bonds for the diff
