FINEST OF PRESERVES
HOW PROPERLY TO PREPARE
STRAWBERRY BAR LIE DUG.
Strong Sunshine, Hot Piatters, Plenty
Of Window Glass, and Perfect Fruit
Are Required-Recipe for Or
ange Custard Frltters.

Strawberry Bar LIE Duc.-Three
things are indispensable in making
this finest of preserves. The first Is
strong, steady sunshine, the second
hot platters or plates, the third plenty
of window glass. The fruit should be
perfect and of good flavor, the sugar
pure. To every pound OF fruit allow
pound of sugar. Heat the sugar Oh
tin plates in the oven, taking care not
to let it melt or get too brown. 1t
should, however, be as hot as possible
without melting. Have In readiness
hot platters or deep plates. Spread
a thin layer Of hot sugar over the bot
tom, then a layer of fruit. and lastly
another layer of sugar. Cover the
platter with a sheet Of window glass
and place out of doors In the hot sun
or in a sunny window in an unused
room. If the fruit is out Of doors 1t
must be brought in when the sun sets
and set in dry place in the house
over night. Return to the sun In the
morning. In two or three days the
fruit will grow plump and firm and
the syrup almost a Jelly. Pack in
tumblers and seal. If the syrup Is
not thick, boil until clear and thick
ened, then pour in the glasses over
the fruit. Some good cooks In this
part of the country prefer to cook
fruit and sugar for ten minutes be-
fore spreading on the platter. This
of course hastens the preserving pro-
cess in the sun.
Orange Custard Fritters.-Break two
and half eggs into a stewpan with
half a pound of -four; mix and pour
in by degrees one pint of milk, and
stir over the fire for 20 minutes, when
the custard should have become
smooth; take 1t of the fire and add
two ounces of castor sugar, one-half
ounce of grated orange peel, three
yolks of eggs and a pinch OF salt.
Mix these well together and spread
the custard to a one inch thickness
on a slightly buttered baking sheet
When cold cut it into two pieces two
inches by one inch; dip the pieces in
egg and bread crumbs and fry them In
very hot fat until slightly colored.
Drain, sprinkle and sugar and pile on
q fancy paper In dish and serve.

WAYS OF HOLDING SUNSHADE

whole effect Is awkward and clumsy.
There ought to be classes on How to
Hold the Sunshade," and nine women
out of ten would benefit from the les

has originated the idea, I can only
recommend little practice before a
long mirror Also take note Of the
following: 0) See that you do not
grasp the handle as If it were an i'm
plement of war. (2) Do not hold 1t
too near the center Of the handle nor
too near the tip-both these faults are
very common, and give a most awk-
ward appearance. (3) Don't use it as
a walking stick, nor, if it has crook
handle, hang it on your arm. (4) Hold
it lightly and easily little distance
from the top of the handle and at a
slightly slanting angle.
