ORIENTAL GRAPE PRESERVES.
How to Make New sweet That viii

from India. and which has a most dis
tinctive and Oriental flavor. II is most
delicious served at luncheon with cold
meats, and is infinitely more interesting
than the usual spiced grapes.
Wash and stem two pecks OF blue
grapes. Place them in. stone crock with
4 cover. and set the crock in a kettle of
boiling water. Cook slowly one hour. or
until the grapes are soft. Then put them
through jelly bag. a little at q time.

To every four pints OF the juice add four
pounds of graduated sugar. which has
been warmed in the oven, and the pulp
and rind finely chopped. of three large
oranges, and one pounded Of seeded
Malaga raisins. To the grape juice add
first the chopped oranges and raisins.
and boil about twenty minutes. then add
the heated sugar. stirring thoroughly I'M

six TO ten minutes longer Pour into
Jelly glasses, and when cold. cover with
parafine.
IL time is no object it is just as well
to let the juice drip all night from the
jelly bag, for in that case the juice will
be clearer. and. best of all. the hands
may be kept stainless. The greatest care
should be taken not to boil it too long
after the sugar has been added. for when
it has once passed the jellying point it
will only grow sticky TO an Incredible
degree When it has boiled about six
minutes, ii is wise TO try a little of the
syrup in cold saucer, moving it around.
and as soon as It shows ever so little an
inclination to ''jell." remove the kettle
from the fire. It should be of the con-
slstency of rather soft fruit ielly.

FOR THE BACHELOR GIRL.
Necessity Bed That Becomes n
Davenport I'm Daytime.

Prom the New York Evening Post.
Where the bachelor girl has one room
which must serve as parlor and bedroom
the necessary bed has assumed many
phases One was seen the other dsy
which had the appearance OF large and
roomy Davenport with arms. and a. rack
OF comfortable pillows. At night when
the coverings were removed the Daven-
port was nothing more than nlsin
modern iron bedstead, which is more
comfortable than the usual headless and
footless cot from which the covers are
always slipping. The bedstead had low.
rounding iron head and foot pieces. ana
over the whole was well-fitted cover OF

lows with removable slips to match the
cover. and finished plainly. were ranged

WOMEN AT HIGHEST BAR.
Twenty-eight Have Right 10 Prae-

1t is twenty-eight years since Belva
Lockwood made her famous fight for
the admission of women lawyers 10 prac-

/ United States. Strangely enough, says
the Boston Transcript. just twenty-eight
women have been admitted since to prac-
tice. the last being Miss Ida NJ. Meyers.

When it is realized that more than

number OF women who have realized
their ambition is brought into sharp con-

last general election returns in New Yea
land show that the women Of that country
realize their duties as citizens quite as
much, II not more. than men do. The
number Of qualified men who failed to
vote exceeded the number OF qualified
women who failed TO do so by AIS.
In Holland a proposed revision OF the

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIE "

! fear that l may offend old-fashioned
housekeepers by what ! am going to
say, but ! shall take a chance Of escap-
ing for the sake Of those who are using
up their strength and youth in the per
petual warfare with dirt. Cleanliness
is a virtue, I admit, but all we can pos
sibly do will not Danish dirt. even for n
brief season, so why strive for the i'm
possible? Why not be reasonably neat
and clean and take a little comfort
withal?
! know Of two families occupying a dou-
BILE house with the same number OF rooms
IN each side. The smaller family. Of
two adults, keeps two maids. while the
work Of a family of five is done by the
eldest daughter without assistance OF any
kind. l am familiar with the inside OF
both homes. and there is nothing TO
choose between them as far as appear
ances and health go. yet I know that
the family without maids has Old-fash-
Toned IDEAS of neatness to which the other
does not subscribe
The hard-worked daughter was trained
in the old-fashioned methods OF cleaning
by rule, taking up carpets on such a date.

soning. Bare floors were washed every
week. although they are stained and var

attention as those which are always oc-
cupied. The woman had unusual strength.
but il is beginning TO fail. and she will
not heed its warning and do a little less.
A breakdown is inevitable. and her loss
to the family can never be made up
The other family, of two. has a due
regard for appearances and a proper
horror Of clutter holes and neglected cor
ners. The rooms are attractive and look
well cared FOR. and the closets are neat
and orderly. but the floors are not washed
once a week, or as often as once a
month. They are clean because they are
wiped with a dry mop every day. and
the wise mistress OF the establishment
has apparently learned many other little
tricks in sighting that do no harm 10

human frames. A stranger would give
her a medal for neatneSs after inspect
ing her rooms. but she viii not do many
Of the things done in the other side OF
the house.
Clever dressmakers know how and when
to slight but nobody dreams Of calling
them careless or slack. Ordinary sewers
spend a deal OF unnecessary time on
the inside of garments and sacrifice the
appearance of the outside as a result.
An exceedingly clever girl who made
stunning hats for herself long refused
TO let me see any one of them. save
when it was securely pinned on her
head and I never knew why till she was
forced 20 tell me 20 avoid my seeing

she would not waste time on unneces-

jewelers. Son Went Broke in Europe.
Prisoner in Vessels Hold.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-It is rare in
deed that a stowaway travels like a
first cabin passenger, but that is the
experience which befell William Rose
man, son of a New York jeweler. Rose
mar has just arrived from London by
the Atlantic transport steamer Mime
tonka. The Minnetonka had been out
ten hours when Roseman introduced
himself to her purser and explained
that he vas a stowaway and wished
to be looked after.
The purser took the youth to Cap
tain Cannons, and the captain learned
from Roseman that he went abroad
on the liner Oceanic last summer, had
a good time in Europe and spent all
his money. Roseman assured the cap
tain that his family would pay for his
passage, the result of which was the
stowaway was given a berth in the
officers quarters and a seat at the
officers mess.
For FIVE days Roseman had the run
of the vessel, but after that he vas
obliged to keep to the after part Of the
main deck, and when the Minnetonka
left quarantine, by order of the immi-
grafton authorities, Roseman was
locked up in the vessels hospital. His
relatives will secure his release today.

MISSION BOARD PUZZLED.
Methodist Episcopal Body in Debt, Lacks
Funds for Work.

SEATTLE, Wash, Noy. 12.-Because of
a debt of Ssh, 900 hanging over the Metho-
dist Episcopal Board of Foreign Missions,
In session here, that body must either re-
trench to the extent OF $40, 600 in making
appropriations for the foreign mission field
or violate a strict Interpretation of the
laws of the church, which say that the
board shall not appropriate more money
than the income of the foreign mission
board during the previous year.
This condition is due to the separating
of the foreign and home missions societies
during the past church year The com
mittee on general appropriations will re-
port in favor of violating the strict inter-
probation of the law. ,
The conference appropriated $26,9W to
the support of missionary bishops, $4,000
to the support of retired missionaries and
the widows and orphans of missionaries,
$25, 900 for incidental needs of missions,
$4,000 for the publication fund, $4,000 for
young peoples work, $50, $50 for the salaries
of field secretaries, $33,5OO for administra-
ton purposes and $4,000 for miscellaneous
uses.
