lions. because she is afraid the
friends of Harrell ar etakinS undue
advantage Of her in preparing to con-
Wet her of murder.
Mr.. HarrelTs remarks to ne on

clared. Il took it to mean that he

Harrell's friends want to convict me,
and as far as | know, l will have no
help in preventing them from doing it
other than to tell what I know of the
case"
There are people who are inclined
to believe Mrs. Freenys statments.
She has friends in Macon and is
woman of no mean appearance. Her
case is sure to produce deep feeling.
The death Of Harrell has alredy set
his friends to work, and if her story
is true, the community is to become
wrought up.
Mrs. Freeney claims to have re-
NAMED quiet because she knew she
did not have the strong friends her
alleged assailant possessed. She is
greatly disconnected and the killing
has unnerved her. Her face is con-
stantly clouded with the deepest ap-
parent trouble

To clean Trimmings.

Among the new embroideries are
those in raised silver and gold work.
These are handsome and expensive,
and one who knows says they should
never be brushed in the ordinary way
of cleaning trimmings, but that piece
OF crimson velvet should be taken and
rubbed very slowly and gently over
them. OF course, we are all familiar
with the use of black velvet as dust
cloth for hats and fine black materials,
the fine nap penetrating and carrying
away dust without injury where moth
ing else could, but what virtue there
is in crimson velvet, aside from it's tex
ture, is hard to guess, but 1t is posi-
BILE, of course, that there may be some
effect in the dye used.

coId-water Process Of CANNING.

Wash the fruit thoroughly, and in
case of rhubarb cut into small pieces,
as for pies. If gooseberries are used,
top and tail them. Pack into glaas
jars that have been sterilized and then
fill the jars to overlooking with fresh
ly drawn water. Put on the covers
and let them stand overnight. BY the
next morning you will find that the
fruit has taken up more or less of the
water, and that there is quite vacuum
to be filed. Drain off the water and
fill again with fresh cold water to
overlooking, letting the water come
with sufficient force to drive out any
air. Then seal closely and put away
for winter use.

Belt for Old Cloves.

Every girl finds in her possession
one or more pairs of discarded long
gloves. Pretty and durable suede
belts can be made from the same by
simply ripping up the seam and cut
ting off the hand. The glove is then
the right shape for the belt when
opened out and two pieces Joined in
the center. Line the glove with silk
cut on the bias, turn over the edges,
and stitch on the machine. Also
stitch the back and finish with three
gold bosses or fiat buttons covered
with kid cut from the hands of the
gloves Another way of finishing is to
tie the kid in three or four small bows.
For the front use pearl buckle or
a small steel one covered with the

SOME CORN K-c.2LS
FOR THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF
DELICIOUS VEGETABLE.
Boiled in MIX Is One Excellent Way
of Preparing Fin the Form
of an omeet-SerVed
as Pudding.

A nice way to cook tender corn is IN
milk In this case husk the corn and
drop into the boiling milk. Cook just
five minutes from the time 1t begins
to boil. Keep covered closely whlle
cooking and serve as soon as DONE
Where there is a large family to De
provided with corn, it is wiser TO COOK
the corn in relays.
Indian Corn Pudding.-Select hrm,
fresh ears of corn, medium size, ana
with a keen-bladed knife score each
row Of kernels, then scrape out the
pulp leaving the hulls on the cob. TO
the pulp taken from dozen ears allow
a mint and a half rich milk, four beat
en- eggs, teaspoonful salt, half tea
spoonful pepper and If the corn lacks
sweetness two or three tablospoonfuls
sugar. Bake in a well-buttered deep
earthen dish for two hours, in a slow,
steady oven.
Corn Fritters.-Cut the kernels from
four good-sized ears young corn. Add
two beaten eggs, half teaspoonful
salt, a tablespoonful pepper, a cup OF
-four pressed down and heaped a little,
and a cup of cold milk. Have ready
hot frying pan well creased and drop
in the batter by spoonfuls. There
should be enough for dozens. DO
not let the fritters touch. Cook in re-
lays, frying on one side four minutes,
then turn and fry the other. THESE
are delicious as an accompaniment for
chicken or to serve for breakfast.
Green Corn omelet-ScOre the rows
of four large ears of corn and scrape
out the pulp. Mix with five well-beat-
en- eggs, whites and yolks together,
one tablespoonful cream, half tea
spoonful salt and pepper to season.
Heat frying pan, drop in table
spoonful butter and grease every por-
ton of the sides and bottom. Pour in
the omelet and tilt the pan, sliding a
thin-bladed knife under the omelet to
prevent its sticking. When nearly
cooked on top the stove, set in the
oven to finish. Then fold over and
turn on to hot platter.
BroiIed Sweet Corn.-Boil the ears
of corn two minutes, then drain and
dry on towel. Place on broiler and
toast over glowing Goals or under the
gas flame until good brown. Season
with salt and send to the table in
napkin.
Baked Corn.-Take off the coarse
outer husks from young corn, turn
back the inner and remove the silk.
Bring the inner husks back over the
end, tie in place and lay in the oven.
Bake about 20 minutes.
What to Do with Leftover Corn
Cut from the cob, then chop very fine.
Put over the fire in a shallow basin,
adding milk to moisten slightly. Let
it just come to boil, no more, or 1t
will be Aopelessly toughened; season
with salt, pepper and butter, and serve
at once.

She serves all but the three hot dishes
which, of course, must be brought

shelves beneath it and an outstanding
bracket shelf for the clean and used
dishes. The coffee, in French coffee
