The last of the cranberriss are about
here and the woman who appreciates the
possibilities OF these beautiful little scarlet
berries as a decoration or garnish. as well
as a relish, Will do well TO preserve some
while they are still to be had. There is
no prettier garnlsh OF which whipped
cream is a component part than red cher
ries; in fact, in the cooks domain they
are almost Indispensable. for they will gar
nish many a plain dessert and make Il a
really handsome creation when set upon
the table. But cherries candied bring a
high price and most housekeepers must use
them sparlngly. Cranberries are compare
lively cheap and the finest largest berries
may be selected ard candied making a
garnish every bit as acceptable as the
cherry Following is a tested receipt for
preserving cranberries: First pick over the
lot carefully discarding every imperfect
berry. Allow a pint Of sugar and half
Put the berries in a graniteware saucepan
pour the sugar over the top and turn the
water over that. Cook slowly, and when
they reach the boiling point cover for just
a few moments, but not long enough to let
the skins break. Uncover and cook until
tender. Take up, one by one, and spread
on a buttered paper or platter to cool
The proportion OF water and sugar used
with the berries is the same as for Jelly
The broken berries and juice left in the
saucepan should be returned to the stove
and cooked a few moments longer, and
when 1t is cold 1t will be a delicious pre-
serve.

An Omaha girl a graduate OF Dread insti-

In this way each member wrote a letter,
and when the budget had gone the round
the last on the list destroyed the letter Of
the first member, and so they went on,
dropping out an old and adding a new letter
at each stop The budget has Travelled
far; west and north to Idaho, south to
Georgia and east to the coast, with numer-
Gus stops between But much reading and
travelling was hard on the letters, many Of
which were much worn before they had
completed the tour, and to protect them
one ingenious member made an attractive
leather envelope sufficiently conmodious to
accommodate twenty-five fat letters, and
applying the stamp on the leather and
attaching the address, sent them on. This
worked admirably for a time until the
envelope began to suffer when another
member conceived the idea. of strengthening
it with a little metal binding. A light
metal frame was made and the envelope
sewed into it with surgeons silk. Another
improvement was added I'm the shape OF
a card for the address, which may be re-
moved and replaced at each stopping place.
The stamps are still stuck on the envelope,
however, one on another. giving the budget
an altogether interesting appearance. The
postage required to bring it to Omaha

Wedding anniversaries are very generally
celebrated and the presents and entertain
ment which accompanies such occasions
are decided by set classiications, on the
divisions Of which many authorities differ.
The following are the most frequently
accepted: The first anniversary is the
paper wedding; fifth, cotton; tenth, wooden;
fifteenth, tin; twentieth. crystal twenty
ffth silver; fftieth. golden. Others, how
ever make the following divisions: The
first, either paper or cotton; NTH, wooden;
tenth, tin; fifteenth, crystal (glass); twen-
tieth, china or linen; twenty-ffth silver.

will adopt the safe rule of following the
customs Of her neighboFs or her family
tradition in this matter All OF. the early
celebrations, namely, those preceding that
of the silver anniversary. are of a playful
Informal nature and the guests are usually

wedding is by cotillion. The parlors, ball

Maple syrup and PessImism.


ON THE OVERLAND LIMITED, April
B.-To the Editor Of The Bee: Riding along
on the train. l purchased your paper of
this date, and having read your editorial
comments on THE Pessimism Belt and
Maple Syrup" permit me TO address you
In regard to same. You think the belt
Of pessimism exists only along a narrow
strip OF the Atlantic coast. Well, that may
be so, but this strip contains the city of
New York the metropolis and financial
center OF the United States. in all coun-
tries and at all times the financial centers
have been barometers indicating changes
In economic conditions. Those that take no
heed Of indications from such sources can
be compared only with the mariners who,
because the sun is shining and calm pre-
walls, make no preparations for the i'm
pending storm. AS regards maple syrup,
anyone that understands the nature Of this
commodity knows that in IT'S natural state
It cannot be kept any length of time,
and that unless adulterated with some other
substance It turns sour, and is, therefore,
when pure, not a merchantable article.
The substance usually employed as a pre-
sentative is cane sugar, but when so
adulterated the government wiseacres will
not permit its sale under the name of
maple syrup. No one can object to a
pure food law" II it is to be wisely ad-
ministered, but as 1t is administered, It
only creates an opportunity for tyrannical
interference, which. as is the case with
maple syrup is often most unjust.
In writing editorials such as these I have
referred to, you only aid in stirring up the
clamor for more and more unreasonable
legislation. Some day the nation will
awaken to the fact that burning the candle
at both ends il not the way to retain our
prosperity. l. H M

Revolution in Underwear.


In no part Of a womans wardrobe has
the new figure produce d more radical
changes than in underwear. The slender
waisted, high-busted princess and empire
effects have entirely done away with the
loose, blousey corset covers and in their
stead has come a garment the like of
which has never been seen before. To
preserve the slender, smooth-fitting waist,
only one skirt can be worn over the corset
and this can not fasten to a waistband or
wrinkles will result. The new garment is
smooth-ftting corset cover extending into
a pettcoat. The suit may be more or less
elaborate, according to its place and oc-
casion OF course much depends upon the
corseting, and some wonderful corsets are
being shown of late. Among these is an
importation with the maillot. Other dew
otees of the slim waist wear only the mail
lot iounced from the knees, or the channels
petticoat founced in the same way with
silk that is soft and does not rustic.
With these a corset is worn covered with
a fine silk camisole. Maillot, the material
that makes. as the word indicates a gar
ment that fits the figure closely, is much
warmer than It would seem to be. Fashion

velously frilled extension is attached to
the maillot garment. Some Of these are dual
garments which At the figure like a glove,
and both Of which have petticoat founces
from the knee. But, OF course, these gar
ments are French and so likely to be too
extreme to become extensively used before
passing. The loose lingerie corset cover
