HINTS ON COOKING FRUIT.
Do Not Destroy the Flavor Of Pleas
ing and Healthful Dish by
the Use Of Soda.

A paragraph which has been going
the rounds rather extensively. informs
the housewife that little soda (sale-
ratus) added to stewed fruit when !.
is being cooked lessons the quantity
Of sugar required to sweeten it.
While this Is true. it is equally tho
fact that the soda acconplishes this
result by destroying the acidity OF the
fruit. and in the process the life and
flavor are, to an extent. injured. -
preserve to which soda has been added
is rather fiat and tasteless when COM
pared with one which Is made entirely
Of fruit, sweetened with sugar.
The wise and truly economical
housewife will not destroy the flavor
of 4 healthful and pleasing dish OF
stewed fruit in order to effect saving
SO very very small.
Fruit that is overly acid, such az
cranberries, red currants. gooseberries,
ETC., will call for less sugar In sweet
ening II they are prepared In the fol-
lowing manner: After washing the
fruit. place 1t in an agate kettle and
cover with clear, cold water. Set the
kettle over the fire and bring the con-
tents quickly to the boiling point: pour
OF the water, and then set the kettle
where the fruit will cook slowly In the
usual way. adding only enough water
to keep the fruit from burning. Add
sugar sufficient to make the preserve
palatable, and do not add the sugar
until just before the fruit is removed
from the fire, since less Is required
than when the sweetening Is cooked
with the fruit
The juice or water that was poured
OF the fruit, at first, can be made very
cold, sweetened with sugar and served
as drink; it may also be used In
place of water or milk for the fOunda-
ton of a pudding sauce, little sugar
being added and the whole th1ckened
with corn starch or arrowroot. Apples
or pears may be sliced and cooked In
this fruit Juice instead of using water
in the usual way, and 1t can also be
used in mincemeat, In fruit cakes or
boiled buildings.
Fruit should never be placed on the
front Of the range and stewed like q
vegetable. Its appearance is much
more attractive II it is kept as entire
az possible. Apples and pears should
be cut into quarters or eighths. and
laid In the saucepan carefully. very
little water or fruit Juice added and
the cover kept on the saucepan all tho
time they are being cooked.-What to

will be conspicuous the coming fall and
winter as ornamental accessories to
handsome toilets. Properly used on
waistcoats, cuffs and girdles, they are
artistic and beautiful, and there Is the
additional attraction to the woman who
wishes exclusive styles. that while the
masses may also use buttons their
purses are unable to compass the really
handsome fancy buttons that partake
Of the nature of cabochons and, conse-
quently there Is no danger Of their tres-
passing on the exclusives territory

but these are not new.
As Pavuin Is using Dresden buttons in
the new yeliowish-tinted reds and pur-
plish blues with patterns outlined in
gold, these buttons are among the latest
importations. Other colors as well a.
those mentioned are also In evidence.
A new thing in pearl buttons is the
introduction of colored centers. Gro
Chef and braid buttons to combine with
braid trimmings are quite the thing.
Another Of the new buttons Is tufted-
back black ivory for use on tailored and
mourning wearing apparel. The tufted
back permits the button to be easily
sewed on and retained by the garments
1t is destined for use upon.
In the better braids for trimming pur-
poses the Japanese patterns and ideas
are seen, and the diambnd-patterned
silk braids are much in evidence.
A novelty in passementeries is the use
Of suede in various shades as back
ground for the embroideries and ap-
pl.ques Of silk and beads. Suede is also
being used for vests with collars and
cuffs to match, but there Is no prospect
Of its being generally fashionable. A
dark-blue broadcloth coat and skirt had
its coat showing pale yellow suede
vest embroidered In furnished gold eff
fects and having buttons to match the
embroidery. The cuffs and fiat collar
showed strips Of the embroidered suede
set in the dark blue velvet forming the
foundation of these accessories.

w vine prescription is confession.
This is the expression and confirmation
of that which has taken place within.
It has been said that a thought is not
real and tangible until it has been ex.
pressed In spoken or written word. The
confession Of Christ by word Of mouth
clarifies the vision of faith, 1t clinches
the convictions, it confirms the hupes
and aspirations Of the soul. The con-
fession is the inseparable and the indis-
pensable twin of the faith of the heart
Many q soul has struggled on in desper.

religious experience to close by an
open confession Of the Christ he loves.
or else in wilful obstinacy and disobe-
dience he loses the presence of the Christ
and falls short Of the Salvation which
Christ yearned to give him. Bishop
Huntingdon has said: Religion be-
longs In the heartbeat Of mans affec-
lions and the breath Of his daily de-
sires. But when the heart has taken It
in, it will not lock it there and make
It prisoner. 1t must go abroad again,
