from half the fruit, after they have been
carefully washed. Peel and shred the
other half. Chop the fruit. removing all
the seeds and the thick shreds of skin
that hold them. Press little juice on
the sugar-enough to dissolve it-add 4
little water and boil the sugar. water and
lemon juice for five minutes. There
should be just enough water to make a

fruit and the rind. Boil half an hour
and put in jelly glasses.

The short coat is the coat of the

used for separate coats. for afternoon
wear, for evening wear and for sport

The length Of these short coats varies
Sometimes they are bolero jackets that
extend hardly below the waist, although
these are generally ended in back with
square OF pointed panel that reaches be-
low the waist. Some of the short coats
are made in short-hip length-about
twenty-four inches, measured from the
shoulder or neck to the lower edge in

could, by means of sashes, be adjusted

The deficiency of tae army in field ar

There should be no more political

ABOLISH CAVALRY BANDS?

The Adjustment of the cavalry band
Is recommended by contributor to
the pages of the U. s. Cavalry Jour
nal in the October number Of that pub
licatien. The writer states that If
there is enc element in the cavalry in
which the government fails to get its
moneys worth, il is the mounted
band" He tells of the difficulties be-
setting the regimental adjutant in at
tempting to maintain good band and
the concessions he must make to mu-
sieians in order to secure their re-
enlistment The men object to the
performance of kitchen and stable Po-
lice in addition to their musical duties.
It Is proposed to drop the expensive
bands, with the exception Of the chief
trumDeter and possibly the drum ma
icr, bass drummer, a snare drum
mer and a couple of cornetists. This
would form the nucleus of trumpet
corps, providing, "at relatively tri-
fling expense, field music which no
regiment need be ashamed Of. The
music for concerts and serenades
would be furnished by infantry and
field artillery bands, as such bands
are usually with those branches Of
the service wherever the cavalry is
stationed The writer of the article

Peace enthusiasts here and there

they find signs of 1t in the occasional

Others are worried by suggestions
that the facilities should be enlarged
