FOR cozY LIVING ROOM.
Design That Is Easy to Copy and Not
Too Expensive.


Red is attractive, for a living room
for the cold season, though women
are tired of the color which has 5een
popular so long and want something
decidedly new and pretty. The vari-
Gus shades of brown ranging TO bright
yellow are extremely beautiful. l saw
a room recently which was very hand

est anG finest, though it was splen-
did copy for cheaper limitations, says
a writer IL the Chicago Daily News.
The room was finished in quartered
oak the walls covered with plain
maiZe-cOlored paper, which was d.
Vided from the cream moire ceiling
with a narrow oak molding. The car
pet was a chocolate brown, with
wide border of yellow cross bars. The
furniture was severely plain without
a scroll or outline upon the highly
polished surface Each piece was up
holstered in dark-broWn tapestry. The
few pictures were brown tints, framed
in natural wood frames. A few pieces
of small statuary, two brass jardi-
nieres filled with pandora palms were
the only decorations save a number
Of cream-colored pillows piled on one
end of a brown leather couch. The
most noticeable part of the beautiful
room, almost exquisite in its rich sim
plicity, was an old-fashioned fireplace.
On the mantel were two gold candle
sticks and Diana, a piece of Parian
marble statuary, which was graceful
in the center of the shelf. The room
was not large, but contained just
enough furnishings to make it roomy
and comfortable

Ruu and Curtain Holder

When beating carpets or rugs on the
line the housewife is presented with a
problem. To prevent the rug slipping
out of position, after being adjusted, a
Massachusetts man has devised a
holder. 1t is made of strong spring
wire, the upper portion being curved
to fit over the rug. In connection with
the four lower corners-which, on ac-
count of the tension of the spring
are prongs which force themselves in
10 the rug. The operator has ample
opportunity to stand at distance
from the rug and swing the beater
with as great force as desired.

PUTTING UP FRUITS
SEPTEMBER THE BEST MONTH
FOR THE WORK.
Some OId-Fashioned Recipes That
Are Decidedly Worth Trying
Delicious Preserves of
Grapes and Peaches.

September preserving is by all odds
the most pleasant of the fruit season.
The days are much cooler. fruits are
abundant and cheap and the preserv-
ing and picking is of the punEent
spicy nature tLac is a distinct relief
after the earlier preserves OF a cloying
nature. Such fruits and vegetables as
are now in the market should be
bought early in the morning and
cooked Immediately. Here are some
Old-fashioned recipes which it will pay
to try. If the ingredients are bought
at the proper figure the results will be
much cheaper than factory-made
articles
The grape season is now at its
height nearly all over the country.
Here are the three suggestions for
tasty grape condiments:
Grape Butter-Separate the pulp
and the skin of the grapes. After
boiling the pulp, strain it through a
coarse sieve. Mix this with the skins
and then measure. Boil half an hour,
then add to it pint of sugar to each
quart of grapes and cook them until
thick and jellied.
Grape Catsup-Take nine pounds of
strained grapes, five pounds of sugar,
two tablespOonfuls of cinnamon, all
spice, cloves and one-fOurth spoon of
red pepper Boil this together until
thick and when cool thin with vine
gar.
Spiced Grapes-Pour over five
pounds of sugar as little vinegar as
will dissolve it, six cloves, a stick of
cinnamon and boil to a thick syrup.
Pour this hot over seven pounds of
grapes, picked from the stems, and let
il stand over night; drain off the
syrup, let this boil. and pour over the
fruit again. Repeat this process three
times.
The large late peaches are particu-
larly well suited to both picking and
bradying.
Branded Peaches - Take four
pounds Of peaches. the same weight of
sugar. and one pint of brandy. Peel
the fruit, place the sugar over it and
let it stand over night Drain care
fully, boil and skim. When the syrup
thickens add the peaches, and cook
slowly until the peaches are clear.
Lift the fruit carefully into jars. Boil
the syrup until quite thick, add the
brandy and fill the jars, sealing very
tight.

Stufhnu Squaps.

Make a bread stufting for SQUADS
moistened with sherry. Mrs. Eleanor
Lucas, a writer for many magazines
of cookery, whose recipes always
make one hungry, says that an orange

or roasted squads. Make a plain gravy
of -four and water, she says, in the
pan in which the squads are roasted
To this add a tablespoonful Of chopped
parsley, two tablespOonfuls of orange
tuice. the grated rind of an orange
and salt and pepper. This must be
strained and served hot. If the squads
are broiled make gravy with a little
stock or meat essence and finish in
the same way.
