FASHIONABLE AND DAINTY
COLLARS.

All sorts of fancy collars are being
worn. They are made from a variety
of materials, but muslin and ndk
chief lawn are favorites and they give
an exceedingly dainty touch to the
toilette. Illustrated are three that
represent prevailing styles. The first
is a variation of the sailor collar with
pointed back and fronts. In this case
it is made of fine linen embroidered. but
1t can. be trimmed with lace landings
and insertions, or, if preferred, It can
be made from silk or other material
quite as well as from linen.
The second collar shows another
variation of the favorite sailor idea,
and is exceedingly becoming. This one
is made from fine lawn with trimming
of embroidered and lace banding n
edging of frills, but various combina-
tions of trimming will suggest them
selves to different minds and the model
can be treated in almost numberless
ways. If banding Is not liked 1t can
be made from plain material embroid-
cred and scalloped, after the manner
of the upper one, quite as well as 1t can
be made as illustrated.
The third and last collar Is a simple
round one that Is very generally liked.
This also can be made from any ma
terial adapted toDaccessories OF the
kind. Just now there is a fancy for
collars of striped silk and the model is
an excellent one for that material as
well as for the sheer lawn illustrated.
To make any one of the collars will
be required " yard of material SO or

A can start and build up a
large dairy farm, actually attend to
all It's details, compete with men-and
win success.
Mrs. Scott Durand has proved 1t.
Her Crab Tree farm, near Lake Forest,
Illinois. is famous. Crab Tree farm
milk is served in "cute little jugs" on
dining cars and at many restaurants.
Mrs. Durand designed the jugs herself.
Seven years ago Mrs. Durand was
a Chicago society woman wealthy and
surfeited with luxury and functions.
Through club activity she became in
terested in the public milk supply
especially for the congested districts.
She knew nothing about d%airying-
but bought a farm-2S0 acres-and pro-
ceeded to find out. She paid $447 an
acre. Last year she refused $3.50 600
twice what 1t cost-for Crab Tree farm.
Mrs. Durand say she is netting $12,-
900 a year from her farm. In seven
years she has doubled its capacity and
learned the dairy business in all its
phases A model group of dairy farm
buildings of reinforced concrete,
lighted and heated by electricity is
now under way

Valuable Suggestions Concerning Jelly

Berries should be placed a few at a
time in the colander and washed
quickly, so as not to absorb the
moisture. Then put into a large-bot-
tom aluminium preserving kettle and
heat until the juices are well started.
Pour all into a double, three-cornered
cheese cloth bag and hang up to drip.
A ten-cent harness-hook screwed up
over the kitchen sink where the bag
has room to hang and drip into a bowl
Is a great convenience. Do not squeeze
the jelly bag If you wish the Jelly
bright and sparkling. You may do SO
and boil this juice separately.
Where no water Is added to fruits,
bring the juice to the boiling point for
five minutes (never hard boiling with
or without the sugar.. Have the sugar
heating in a moderate oven. With the
mount of sunshine this year, one pint
OF juice and three-quarters of a pint
of sugar would be a correct proper
ton. Stir this into the boiling Juice
until the sugar is dissolved, bring to a
boiling point, and test a little in q cold
dish. 1t will, with most fruits, Jelly

easy boiling n test every minute,
skimming carefully. When ready pour

Is no dust, or cover with pieces of
glass. Cover with melted parafin
poured over the top to the depth of a
quarter of an inch. This recipe for
jellies will cover currant or currant
and raspberry. raspberry, blackberry,
strawberry and currant Cor other acid)
under-ripe or green grapes and goose-
berry.
Large fruits, such as plums, apples,
ounces, crabapples, etc, require water
while cooking. To eight quarts of
c%rabapple or apple (washed and quar-
tered use about four quarts of water.
There should be about three quarts of
juice. Finish as for any other jelly.

popped into them and the first step
Ia taken in distorting the feature
which is most essential to good looks.
The paciher has the almost instant
advantage of stopping the cry, but
eventually It is certain to spoil the
shape of the baby's mouth. Yet 1t is
difficult to convince young mothers of
the danger of this apparently innocent
habit. Many of them have perhaps
sucked their thumbs in their W
baby days. and having realized no Ill
effects from the habit imagine that
the paciflers of today are harmless.
Whether or not their mouths have
been seriously damaged by this thumb
practise the outline woul have been
infinitely more pleasing II thumbs had
never been sucked.
Beautiful mouths are rare and the
fact is no doubt due to the almost uni
versal habit that mothers and nurses
have of putting something In a baby's
mouth the moment it begins to fret.
There Is even a more serious side to
this habit than the mere spelling of
the outline Of the month while it Is in

"jell.' If. however, a little cur
ram jelly is added, a fine jelly, pleas
AM to the taste, ir the result. although
the flavor Of the strawberry will be
modified. If a scant teaspoonful of tar.
taric acid Is used for every cup OF
sugar results will be equally as good
and the flavor of the strawberry pre-
served.
Some of the most desirable fruits for
jelly-making are c%urrants, %crabapple,
apple, ounce, grape, blackberry and
raspberry.
If, however, the season has been a
very wet one, the fruits will contain a
larger amount of acid, and will require
more sugar. If. on the contrary, there
has been much sunshine the fruit will
contain more sugar. This is the reason
for jellies candying sometimes IS. Con-
sequently less sugar will be required,
and in that event some of the more
acid juices or tartaric acid should be
used.

Protecting Baby Mouth
ONE of the most pernicious habits.

nNE of the most pernicious habits
that the young mother can prac-
tice with her baby is allowing 1t to have
a 'pacifier." Yet one Is amazed to find
how universally these Objectionable
baby-soothers are used. They are seen
in the mouth Of babies whose mothers
should know too much to tolerate
them as we'll as in the mouths of the
children of the more ignorant classes.
They must have sprung originally
from the practice of the negro mann
mics who would give their babies tiny
bags of cheesecloth with sugar inside
to prevent their fretting. No modern
mother would admit doing anything SO
unhygienic. But the shops are full Of
'pacifieers' that are regularly being
sold for the same purpose of stopping
a baby's fretting by putting some
thing in Its mouth to soothe 1t.
Everyone knows the value of a
pretty mouth as an attraction, but few
babies are given the chance to possess
this charm. The m they open
their mouths to cry a "%pacifer' is

the formative stage. It has been said
that the cigarette habit in very young
boys may be the result of this practise
fostIred in their babyhood by mothers
and nurses.
The child has been accustomed to
having something in its mouth; the
effect is infinitely soothing, and the
first cigarette that comes within his
knowledge is embraced with eager
ness. Once its soothing effect is dis
covered the boy is its victim.
No mother who realizes the danger
of such infant abuses as pacifiers will
ever tolerate them. But young moth
ers are often. even in this day of
hygiene, pathetically t~houghtless. II
is to this type Of mother that the
warning Is given.
Do not allow your baby to be soothed
by so harmful a device as a paciher.
Rather let 1t have a good, round cry.
This will expand it's lungs and do no
harm, but a soothing device Of any
kind is sure to spoil the shape of the
mouth, besides the possibility it holds
of establishing a habit of cigarettes or
gum later in life.

Shrub D~estroyers.

Dear Miss Doom:
What can I do to get rid Of ants that
destroy shrubs, rose bushes and other
plants? CONSTANT READER.
First trace them to their nests. Then
press a long sharp stick into the nest,
remove quickly and pour two ounces
OF disulphide of Carlo, into the hole.
Press ground into the hole with the
foot. Repeat this several times for
each nest and the fumes will penetrate
to every part Of the nest and destroy
the ants. Use ~precaution not to
breathe the fumes. and do not have q
light or fire Of any kind nearby. Kero-
sene is also good If the disulphide is
not at hand, but 1t is not so effective.
