THE COOKING SCHOOL.

THE cause Of crystallized jelly Is
either too much sugar or too
rapid boiling.
Apple jelly favored with mint is
delicious to serve with lamb.
Juice for jelly should not be stirred
while cooking.
Fruit for jelly should always be un-
derripe.
Too long boiling changes sugar into
glucose and turns the mixture into a
strip which will not jelly.
Three-fourths 'as much sugar as
juice makes delicious dark colored
jelly.

STYLES FOR GIRLS
Their Garments Cut to Resemble
III Those Of Grownups. e

It Is comparatively. easy to find pref
ty and becoming garments for the
little folks this season. The newest
garments for children are cut on lines
resembling the models planned for
older people, but careful distinction
should be made. 1 '4 ~.
The shawl collar is becoming girl
ish style. .The same may be said Of the
hood effect and the sailor collar. Any
Of these, when used on the sensible
coat of double faced material. Is suit
able and becoming. In fact, the heavy
material is used extensively for winter
wraps for the.ilittle folk. velvets and
broadcloths being selected only where
the child may have more than one
warm outdoor garment.
The sensible idea of wearing wash
frocks all the yenr round Is growing,
especially for young children. Reps,
linens and piques are most desirable
for older girls, with tailored ginghams
and percales for the schoolroom.
If something warmer is desired there
Is the regulation sailor suit or cloth
dress Of cashmere, challis or serge
These made in Russian style or with q
surplice are charming.
Hats for the little folk are of beaver
soft felt and plush, while velvet and
satin are made up over quaint shapes
into stunning creations. The trim
mings are smart ribbon bows or in
some cases wings or fancy bands, but
always the tailored appearance pre-.
dominates.

folded comfortably across his stomach,
sat at the head of the corridor leading
to the ground glass door behind which
the jury was celebrating. Some Of

attracted by motives of curiosity only;
others, restless arr impatient, were
there to gather crumbs of information
