EzSSzsSt mated "A new coiffure that has had a
VsssSSGj tremendous following during the Lon
don The Countess possesses
the most enviable masses of wavy hair, and, un-
like many of her native sisters, is not required
to indulge in false ringets or chignons. For
many years her coiffure has been arranged in a
similar fashion to Queen Alexandra's; therefore
the innovation is of a pertinent nature.
This new model is exceptionally smart and is
built up of Marcel waves, puffsn abundance, a
draped pompadour and little circles.
An American just back from tother side gives
this interesting description:
First of all The is MARCHED in the regular
way, then the woman's own hair is caught up
with big amber pin at the back after it has
been rolled into a pretty puff and fastened in
place just at the crown of the head.
The pompadour is next fastened into place,
the "draping" meaning that the hair is pulled
well forward over the forehead. 1t is generally
slightly parted either to the right or left as is
most becoming. After this process is accom-
pllshed, then comes the placing of the false puffs
and with this new style coiffure the woman with
the least amount of hair is the better off for the
reason that it is much easier to fasten the false
puffs into place than make the same from ones
own hair
With the puffs in place the next step is To
| add the curls and six eight, as many indeed
as one can find room for, are tucked in about
the crown of the head.
In nearly every style the low pompadour ia
best liked Another pretty way of dressing the
hair is to do it on top of the head. tYistino n
into knot, from the middle of which issne
series of little short curls. The back of the hair
| is Marceed and the profuson of tiny curls lends
most bewtching effect to certain type of
woman and is essentially becoming.
In nearly every when the pompadour ia
worn it is parted either the right or left side
as is most becoming. With the coronet stvle of
hair dressing the rompadour may be used. Though
the effect is prettiest when the hair is simnIv
parted, the coronet resting just over the brow.
In the use of the Countess of Warwick cofTure
when the hair is dressed low, the puffs extend
from ear to ear in the back while in front there
is the usual pompadour. All of these pufs. are
false naturally, as it would be manifestiy impos.
sible to the proper effect if the natural hair
was used.
Probably the newest decoration for the hair ia
the use of amber combs of all descriptions Very
light amber for very dark hair, dark amber for
very light blonde hair, always seeking as great a
contrast as possible Furthermore, as 10 tbe
style of the combs, all of them have the olive
shaped tops. large comb is used in the back
with at least two side combs. Since the nun on
gold-mounted comJs, and the consequently cheap.
| ening of the style has come about, the beautiful
translucent amber comes as a welcome change
and it is universally becoming not only to blondes
but to brunettes.

Pendants of crochet linen and silk are put along
the front of these garments. Again crocheted
rings are used, through which siken scarfs are
drawn. Silk muslin, washable chiffon and china
silk are used for the lining of these dressy little
wraps They will wear longer and seem to with

wearer's fancy
Circular warps that extend below the hips are
made of allover lace mounted on taffeta and trim

COVERING AND STORING JELLY.
Many new ideas are being constantly advanced
as to the best methods of covering jellies be-
eve the latest notion is TO paste the outer COW

is claimed That the incosed steam shrinks the pa
per, and if said paper is able to Withstand the
strain neater package is the result This may
all be true, but process without "fs" is more
satisfactory in the long run, so ] would advise
Jelly makers to pin their faith to the well tried
method of placing disc of paper soaked in bran
dy directly upon the cold jelly, then larger one
either pasted or tied over the top of the glass
Use thick yet pliable white paper; the unrued
writing paper will do very we'll Neat labels cut
from the same kind of paper, with the name of
the kind of Jelly plainly written upon them
should be pasted upon the sides of the glasses.
If one wishes them, printed labels may now be
obtained at small cost.
Jeies are easily affected by extremes of tenn
perature, so the place for storing must be chosen
accordingly. Also dampness must be avoided and

thick crystals form upon jelly it shows that the

CANNED FRUIT IN A WATER BATH
Have ready common wash boiler with a rack
in the bottom and enough warm water to come
several inches above the rack. Fill sterilized jars
with fruit, packing as closely as possible Make
syrup of sugar and water of the desired sweet
ness When at the boiling point pour over the
fruit and set the cans in the boiler, not allowing
them to touch Keep them separated by cotton
rope or cloths, so that they will not strike when
the water begins to boil about them. Do not put
on the rubbers, but cover lightly with the tops.
Cover the boiler then cook about ten minutes
little longer than fruit canned by stewing.
Draw the boiler back, take out the cans one by

ter. If about one-third water is added to two
thirds juice and cup of sugar for each cup OF
liquid, the product will be much more delicate
than where the undiluted juice is used, and near
ly one-haf more jelly will be obtained from the
same quantity of fruit. In the seasons when
certain varietiesof fruit scarce it is convenient
to know this, but after having made jelly
in this way few housewives care to go back to
the older process even when fruit is abundant.
sKIMMING MORE IMPORTANT THAN
STRAINING.
A vast amount of needless anxiety is expend'
ed upon the question of the jelly bag for strain
ing the fruit juice. Certainly the juice must be
strained, but that this is not the pivotal point
upon which successful jelly making turns may
easily be demonstrated by any one who cares to
go into the subject a little. l have found that
a triangular bag made of stout, unbleached mus
lin is as good for the purpose flannel bag.
