especially well adapted to warm
weather fabrics and this year we
are having so many wonderful bor-
dered stuffs that it Is sure to be in
exceptional demand. This one con-
sists of the usual one straight piece,
but it can be fitted with deep darts
over the hips that greatly reduce the
fulness, or it can be simply gathered,
as the special figure may require.
II makes the best possible model for
bordered materials of all kinds or
for flouncing, and it can be finished
with a belt or at the raised waist
line. In the back view, embroidered
flouncing is shown over a band Of
satin, and that finish is both a fash
ionable and q practical one. In the
front view the material is one Of the
new cotton ratines. but silk and
every other seasonable material can
be used.
For the medium size the skirt will
require rs yards of bordered mate

plain material 27, 2& yards SO or A
inches wide.
The May Manton pattern of the

Given a slender ankle, a beautiful

to be ugly.

Bingham will have the collar, revers,
belt and cuffs in a plain color, while

to a considerable extent, both in solid
colors and in stripes and checks.
Colored crepes and eponges are also

Dried Fruits and Their Uses.

Dried Fruits and Their Uses.
Il have just used my last jar of
fruit" is not an unusual thing to
hear at this time of year. This
need not be quite so much of a
tragedy as 1t sounds. on first hear
ing it, as there are fresh fruits in
market and more coming all the
time; but it takes money to buy
fresh fruits and sometimes much
money The market fluctuates, a
holiday or a cold wave adds a few
cents to the cost of even the COM
mon fruits, while day or two later
they may be that much lower in
price But the evaporated or dried
fruits are regular staple article
and they require little If any sugar,
which is a saving, and very little
fuel to bring them back to their
highest perfection of fruit All fruit
is mainly water, and that is pure;
the solids are very useful in keeping
the body in healthy condition.
Dried fruits have parted with all
their moisture and natural juices in
the drying process and they must
have all this restored before they
are cooked. The most effectual way
10 do this is first, pick the fruit over
carefully and wash well in luke
warm water, to remove any foreign
substances. Then let them soak in
water TO entirely cover over night
The time for soaking depends upon
the dryness of the fruit but suffi
cient water should be absorbed to
fill out the fruit to its natural out
lines. Set over a slow fire in a
covered sauce pan, in the water in
which 1T is soaked, and bring TO the
boiling point now put on the back
part of the stove, in a fireless cooker
or turn the gas burner as low as pos
sible, placing an asbestos mat under
and cook very slowly.
The usual sized double boiler is too
small to allow the fruit to swell to
its full size. unless a pound or less
is being cooked. Some fruits such as
apricots need little or no cooking.
only the soaking and a light syrup
made and poured over them. There
is scarcely any limit to the good
things which can be made from these
fruits when properly cooked and they
may also be eaten much more freely
by children or elderly people or those
having rheumatism or other acid
diseases than the fresh fruits /
