 nor leaves harsh black line around her eyes nor a too heavily darkened orifice. | The actress who rouges her lips does so from a matter of personal vanity, de- spite the fact that rouge takes black in photography and black lips are abnormal and too often appear swollen. Makeup IS not becoming; hence the concession to a bit of reddened lips. Every portion of exposed skin Is made up or an actor is not playing fair. It is best to have all i your own supplies. Some studios SUD- | ply makeup greases and accessories to extras and occa casionally costumes of mod ern design.

 Putting Up Peaches and Tomatoes "I have a few recipes that might be of use to some one. To make peach jam: Peel and put the peaches through food chopper, add half their weight in sugar, bu. no water. Let all stand over night and cook 1t until the peaches are boiled down to a jam as thick as is liked. A stick of cinnamon may be added. By leaving the water out the peaches will keep always. For putting up tomatoes without seasoning, I fill a jar to overflow ing. Put them over a slow fire to draw out the juice, and cook for 15 minutes. Have the jar and rubber boiling hot, IS we'll as the fluid, and seal. I have a few new scraps for quilts if a shut-in would like to have them and will pay the post age.

The address of Mrs. H. w. F. is at her service. I note with satisfac- tion, increased by recent experience, the stipulation mo water" in making the jam. A woman who should have known better. with the recipe before her eyes, added just enough water to dissolve the sugar" to her strawberry jam. Consequence, when the jam was put into jars the solid part arose to the top, leaving several inches of syrup at the bottom of each jar. Inside of a month the jam began to fer ment and had to be boiled down to the injury of color and flavor. There was not enough sugar in the mixture to make preserves and it had not cooked long enough to make sure of keeping Moral: Don't take liberties with tried and true recipes.
