TO MAKE JELLIEs

Grape jelly-Select grapes that are a
little under ripe; place in the preserv-
ing kettle with a very little water:
cook slowly without stirring for two
hours. Turn into the jelly bag and
drain; strain the juice through cheese
cloth and proceed as for other jellies.
Crab apple jelly-Wash and with a
silver knife cut out all imperfect parts:
cover with cold water and cook slowly
until soft; drain and strain Measure
the juice, allowing one pint of sugar to
each of juice.
Ounce jelly-Pare and core the fruit.
Cover with cold water and cook slowly
until perfectly tender Drain off the
juice without disturbing the fruit:
strain, and to every pint of juice add
one pint of sugar. Boil slowly for
twenty minutes, carefully removing all
scum
AS marmalades are prepared by
crushing the fruit to a pulp and press
ing 1t through a colander or sieve, the
more inferior fruit may be used; even
broken pieces and parings left from
preserving may be utilized in this way
Ounce marmalade-Pare and core
the fruit and cut into rather small
pieces cover with water and cook un-
til tender. In the double boiler sim
mer the cores and parings; when very
tender, strain and add the juice to the
fruit, with one and a half pints of
sugar to each quart of fruit; boil the
whole constantly for twenty minutes or
until it is smooth and thick. Turn into
heated jelly glasses and seal.
Tomato marmalade-Remove the
skin from four pounds of ripe toma-
toes, by first immersing them in boil
ing water; then for a moment in cold.
and cut into quarters. Remove the
seeds and the white part from two
oranges and one lemon. and slice them
thin. Make a syrup from two quarts
of sugar and one pint of water; add
the tomatoes and fruit; cook slowly
until soft. Press through a sieve: re-

brown bread, baked Indian pudding,
Johnny cake" etc. Fortunate are
those who can secure an abundant sup
ply of clean milk at low cost, even If it
be milk from which most of the cream
has been separated. SKINNED milk
may be used in many soups and pud-
dings. Experiments tried by stock
breeders indicate that young animals,
and probably children, thrive better on
skim milk than on that which is richer
in fat. A lecturer at a farmers insti-
tute recently told of his own experience
in living for some weeks on bread and
skim milk at a cost of less than 81 a
week, and his claim that it left him in
good condition was justified by his per-
sonal appearance.
The thickened milk gravy or cream
may be made from milk from which the
cream has been taken, and other fats
may be combined with butter to enrich
it for many purposes The cream soups
are but combinations of vegetable or
meat stock, with milk slightly thick
ened with flour or other starchy ma
terial.
Cheese might be used far more than
it is in this country, both to give relish
to foods lacking in flavor and to take
the place of meats to some extent.
Eggs must be used in moderation when
high in price, though even in winter
they may be cheaper than oysters or
chops or sweet breads.
High prices have been most evident
in the meat market, and it behooves us
to select wisely and then use every
scrap we pay for. Bones and trimming
so seldom sent home from the city
market usually are perfectly good for
soup making, and if not very rich in
nutriment will give flavor to cheaper
materials. All the fat should be used
in one way or another instead of buy
ing additional butter or lard for gravies,
soups and frying. Strain the liquid
from the kettle when corned beef is
boiled, and when cold the cake of fat
on top is usually in condition to use
without further clarifying for ginger
bread, cookies, baking powder biscuits,
etc. The water under the fat, unless
very salt, may be combined with to-
mato or beans for soups.
The dried fruits have not been appre-
ciated because seldom treated fairly.
They should be soaked half an hour,
then picked over piece by piece, washed
clean, everything uneatable removed,
and left in clean water to soak in cool
place for twenty-four hours or longer.
Then they should be cooked only
enough to make tender. Usually, evap-
Grated apples cost much less than
peaches, cherries or apricots, and may
be combined with the more expensive
kinds. A few raisins cooked with the
apple and a bit of spice make a good
combination. The juice and pulp of
such fruits, rubbed throug a strainer,
may be used as a sauce for simple
puddings, or thickened with gelatine or
frozen for a fruit ice. Count the half
apricots in a pound and compare with
the number in can at the same price.
After all, only eternal vigilance will
accomplish the desired result of living
with comfort on a moderate income. 1t
is very necessary to think and plan
days ahead. Living from hand to mouth
is always expensive.

FOR SHINY COMPILATIONS

Girls with shiny skins who have a
prejudice against using powder can
find much comfort in 10-cent roll of
absorbent cotton. I discovered this
fact by accident. Cut it into two-inch
squares and put it into a silver or china
box with cover. After using once, 1t
can be dropped into the waste-basket or
the fire. 1t is surprising how much
plain dirt can be removed from the
face with a bit of cotton even just after
the bath. For travelling I find a little
box of these bits of cotton invaluable.
A bit or two tucked into the glove just
befort going out. can sometimes be used
surreptitiously with great satisfaction
and sense of refreshment. OF course
this method is far preferable to the
unhygienic powder puffs that often do
duty for several persons in one family,
and is better even than the little indi-
vidual puffs in the tiny boxes often car
ried on chatelaines.

TEACHING CHILDREN TO WORK

Let me tell you how one ingenious
mother taught her little girls to set
room in order. Like most children,
they were not very fond of work, so
she invented this game to make it more
attractive. She wrote on a number
of slips of paper the name of some
piece of furniture, or a part of the
room, such as table, bookcase, floor.
etc, and then let each child draw a
slip and put in order the article writ
ten on it, They were soon greatly ex-
cited over the slips they might draw,
and before they realized it, the room
was neat and tidy.
One OF those children, now grown to
womanhood, told me recently that
when she arranged a room she still
classified the articles In her mind and
found it much easier than when she
worked heedlessly,

add more oil. Alternate oil and lemon
juice until sufficient quantity is made
A pint of oil may be used although
a smaller quantity is just as palatable
If it becomes too thin use more OIL
and if too thick more lemon juice
1t should be thick enough to hold a
light teaspoon upright in it.
For fruit salad small quantity of
stiff whipped cream is an addition, but
this must be used very soon, as 1t
does not keep well. For the best re-
suits every utensil and ingredient
should be ice cold. have never
known this recipe to fail when it was
carefully followed.

refuses to return to Craven with him and
takes lodging with cottager Next
morning Lucy receives an apology from
writing her essay. Tempest dictates to
Lucy. who listens spellbound as she
writes. Lucy decides to go to London but

what wrote out yesterday" She did

tongue and hurried:

He was at the door.

But I'd rather" he said. laughing;

Another intimate little meal here
alone with Mr.. Tempest she felt she
must not, and did not wish to. enjoy
but she had no choice. He returned
in a few moments with his sheets OF
manuscript. and tea followed.
Miss Carew made 1t this time and
served 1t from the most lovely china
her hands had ever touched. egg
shaped cups with golden Ms upon
them. Tempest on the divan neal
watched her with the intentness that
was growing bearable because she de
termined that 1t must be habit and not
personal to herself.
You like the china?' he asked

Tempest ate his toast and drank
his tea without remark. and she ven
tured to ask:
DO you. yourself. like it,"
"I like it." he said slowly. "for wha,
1t has made me forget" He believed
his words to be enigmatical to her
and she, guilty at what she thought
she knew and could read into them
took up the manuscript from the sofa
at his side and without preamble be
gan to read At first her delivery was
timid. with short breaks and voice
that came scarcely farther than her
lips. But as the beauty of the work
grew upon her 1t carried her out OF
herself.
Tempest listened. shielding hand
over his eyes. He remained as he
was. without comment, until the ST
lence grew painful. Her eyes. when
he at length looked at her. were on
the photograph of Lady Ormond. and
he put his hand back. took the photo
graph. and held 1t out to her.
Lady Ormond-you find her, OF
course, lovely?"

NO" he contradicted. you do no
