Is Your Fruit Washed?

THERE is a good. old fashioned tradi-
ton current among housekeepers,
that to wash fruit is to detract from Its
juciness, and thereby to injure its pristine
flavor. 1t is fine old theory and 1t man
ages to hold its own in an age OF science
in the kitchen. Modern housewives Will
insist on having steriliZed milk from the
dairy. wrapped bread from the baker and
guaranteed eggs and poultry. They even
insist on having the starch and soap come
done up in packages. and yet the fruit
comes into the house from the garden
and the market, where its sticky surface
has been bait to germs and dust. and
presto-it goes to the table Why: Be
cause there is an old saying that to wash
fruit is to spoil its flavor.
AS a matter OF fact very little juice is
removed by washing fruit. In firm-skinned
fruit experiments have proved that prac-
tically no juice is removed. A berry that
is badly bruised will lose considerable
juice in washing, but then the bruised
berry is the very one that is sure to har-
Dor germs and filth. .

Of a day or so will ruin a veil that Would

is a good practice for the preservation OF
wells that an economical Englishwoman
has exp aimed to her American friends:
Whenever you take off a veil roll 1t.
Now take the bottom of the veil in your
right fingers and the top in your left fin
gers and give it gentle pull to stretch
any wrinkles, and after that do what you
please with it. You may fold 1t over and
put it in your handbag il you choose or
in crowded bureau drawer or in trav-
cling bag. But when you come TO use
the veil next time you will find that 1t is
in good shape. Ideally speaking, wood
en- veil roll is a splendid instrument for
the safekeeping of wells, but who takes
the trouble to put the veil on roll? And
Of course il is the once you don't take
care OF the Veil that the damage Is done.
Never leave Veil on hat-that is, If
you want to wear it a second time. OF
course, no woman likes to make a show

ception. however. to the rule of the
econmy of inexpensive wells. This applies
to colored mesh veils-especially blue
ones. For nothing is more disappointing
than to find that the inexpensive blue Veil
has lost it's color where it catches the
moisture of the mouth, and this is quite
likely to happen to the cheap veil. For
some reason the inexpensive black Veil is
usually as fast as the more expensive
sort.
