HOUSEHOLD HINTS

To many housewives tomatoes mean
only a delightful salad possibility in
summer and in winter merely a savory
catsup or pickle. Those who attempt
to put them up at home simply can
them in such a manner that they are
only possible in soups or stews. the
more delicate and desirable methods of
preservation being comparatively un-
known.
In canning alone there is a right and
wrong way, the most satisfactory be-
ing to can them whole so that they
may be served in winter as salads
with mayonnaise dressing, or as to-
mato cups cnotaining a salad mixture.
Besides this there is also a long line
of delicious conserves made from the
tomato. many so dainty as to be scarce
ly recognized by those who know only
the makeshift canned article.
Glove Preserves-To four pounds of
yellow plum tomatoes. not too ripe, al
low four pounds of sugar, three lemons
and one-half ounce of whole cloves.
Peel the tomatoes without breaking,
sprinkle sugar over them and let them
stand over night. In the morning pour
off the syrup, add the cloves and let it
boil until thick, then strain. Return
to the fire and add the chopped pulp
of the lemons, and the tomatoes, and
cook gently until the tomatoes look
clear. Fut into jars and seal To give
a different flavor subs titute one-half
ounce of ginger root for the cloves.
Mock Orange Marmalade.-Scald and
peel large sized yellow tomatoes. Cut
downward over each seed section. press
open and remove all seeds with the
thumb. leaving the pulp comparatively
whole. To two parts of the prepared
tomatoes allow one part of oranges,
sncing thinly. Cover all with an equal
quantity of sugar and let stand over
night IN the morning pour off syrup
and cook down about half, add the
tomatoes and oranges and cook until;
the orange skins are transparent. Seal
in jelly glasses.
Amber PickIes.-Choose small yellow
pear tomatoes when just turning to
ripen. Pick each tomato three times
to prevent bursting in cooking. and
soak half an hour in salted water.
Take out and put in jars, after which
make a syrup OF one pint OF vinegar.
three quarters of a pound Of sugar

FASHION FANCIES

Hats should be artistic. OF course
they should. We all say it and know
1t, but how many women really expect
them TO be so? Think Of the way a
woman goes about getting a hat. Mon

day is pay day, you know she starts
on her rounds OF the shops Monday
is washday and everything has 10 be

leaves. so her hair doesn't get the or
binary amount of attention
She Sticks it up. and tucks the loose
ends under the bandeau OF her hat and
runs for the car. Arrived at the mil
liners of comes the hat. and out hy
the straggly loose ends The sales
lady appears not to notice. and brings
out love of toque which depends
wholly upon a perfect marcel and an
even black puff to give it that French
effect"
The effect is far from Frenchy. in
fact it is so far too terrific to be al
lowed to disgrace any name, and the
woman waves 1t aside with:
I am looking for larger hat than
that"
Out comes the larger hat. but this
time her hairs looks so skinny and
stringy under the top-heavy headgear
that she is ready to give it up at the
outset, even though this is the first Of
the list OF stores she had planned to
visit, and only the second hat. Il never
knew my hair to be such a fright"
she cries, and my face has a thousand
wrinkles in it. have splitting
headache already"

French woman hurries forward, and
in an instant the two are deep in tho
subject of millinery. Again the Gus
toner removes her hat. but this time
she doesn't know what a fright she
/ looks like. for there isn't a mirror in
the establishment.
1T makes the customers nervous TO

plains the little French woman, and
then I can fix it all in the sketch, and

sketch of her prospective customer
with the kind of a hat that will be
most becoming. The scraggly locks
are smoothed out or waved in the
sketch, and the headache wrinkles have
disappeared.
If the hat which her nimble pencil
brings to life doesn't suit presto-there
is another. Perhaps the violets under
the rim are a little too bright. A
whisk of the crayon and they are just
the right shade to go with her COM

When the woman finally decides
which of the bonnets she wants brought
to life, she leaves the shop hardly
knowing whether she has bought a
hat or had her portrait painted: She
has such a luxurious feeling about it
ALL to say nothing of the satisfaction
of knowing just what her hat is going
to look like without any of the dangers
of buying a ready trimmed model.

FOR THE SCHOOLGIRL

The opening of the schools and the
approach of cold weather has brought
the matter OF fall hats TO the attention
OF every mother. The summer hats are
battered and shabby and UNIT for FUR
Their wear. yet 1t seems early in the
season to decide on fall styles. Realiz-
ing the difhculty OF choosing hats when
unfamiliar with the modes that viii
prevail during the coming year. the
leading importers and ohlIdren's fur
nishers were consulted on the matter
They We're unanimous in predicting
that in general there win be little
change from the styles which have been
worn all summer. and that the modlfca-
lions viii be in the minor details Of the
hats. and in their adaptation in color
and trimming TO the winter season.
For the very small boy or girl the
proposition is a simple one. for chill
dren's hats vary little from year TO
year, and their selection Is governed
only by good taste and judgment. and
in selecting styAs that combine salts
factorily with the coat and clothes that
the child wears. For instance. much
befrilled and beribboned bonnet. no
matter how becoming, is quite inappro-
pirate with REFER coat.
Fer everyday wear little boys and
girls use very much the same stlye OF
head covering. Big turn-up sailors In
black-and- white patent leather and IN
stin felt bound around the edge with
ribbon, soft felt hats with sugar loaf
crown and wide brims turning down
over the face Scotch bonnets in blues
and whites and reds. gay with plaid
ribbons. and the ever popular sailor
caps are worn by boys and girls alike.
They are becoming as well as smart.
and IT would be hard TO find any OF
these simple styles that did not look
well with the Dutch hair cut and bob
bed curls or the present day fashion.
These hate are intended for wear with
the sailor and Russian blouse suits. the

dresses.
