He Mas Cured.

Once there was little boy who stole
sugar. SO strong was his craving for
sugar that half his mothers time was
taken up watching the sugar bowl.
One morning, however, she filled big
tumbler full of sugar and gave 1t to
the little boy and told him to eat it all.
The boy took a spoon and started In.
He ate about third of it before he
got enough. His mother insisted that
he eat some more-it was all his to
eat, and she'd box his ears if he didn't
eat it. She did box his ears, and he
ate q little more, but presently he
slipped the tumbler under his chair
and slipped out to play. When he
came back, though, the tumbler was
there waiting for him. He ate a little,
but 1t wasn't good. He said 1t was
too sweet" Every day for a month
that tumbler was by his plate at the
table. on a chair by his bedside, in the
closet with his playthings-every-
where he found that tumbler. The
flies swarmed about~it, and the ants
came, but still 1t was ''tOo sweet"
That tumbler never was finished up.
The boy is an old man now, and takes
his coffee straight. Gooseberry pie is
the only kind he likes. All other kinds
are "too et"-Kansas City Star.

Just what will happen to the pongee
street suit this year is q question that
receives a very satisfactory answer
IN the latest arrival in that line. 1t
Is a street suit in which pongee in the
natural color is bordered with the
same silk in black. Those who aspire
to smart styles for midsummer will
recognize an excellent achievement in
this combination. Black used in just
the right proportion with sedate colors,
gives them a distinction that nothing
can excel.
In this suit the skirt is forerunner
of promised styles for autumn. 1t is
a little shorter than spring models. 1t
hangs in the most uncompromising of
straight lines, emphasized by box
plaits, very thoroughly pressed into
place. The black pongee is set against
the natural light ecru color in border
about eight inches wide.
The coat is plain as to It's body, with
panel effect at the front, below the
belt, which is of pongee. There are
fiat pockets at each side, faced with
black at the top and cut in a diagonal
across the bottom. Straight cuffs.

PLAN AN AIRCRAFT EXHIBIT
Uncle Sans National Defense coun-
Gil Will Establish Permanent Dis
play to Aid Manufacturers.

The national advisory committee for
aeronautics and the aircraft produc-
tion board of the council of national
defense have instituted a project for
a permanent exhibit of aircraft mate
rials of all kinds, including engine
parts and sections of planes, to be
established in Washington for the
benefit of army and navy engineers
and American manufacturers. The
display will be made available to all
aircraft manufacturers and kept up
to date as the science develops. 1t is
expected to be of very material assist
ance to the new aircraft building pro-
ject in that it will enable American
manufacturers to become familiar
with the latest developments in the
art.
The latest foreign machines and
specialized parts from foreign makers,
rejecting the highest development of
European building science after the
three years of war, will be displayed.
The exhibit promises to be of particu-
lar value in enabling government en-
gineers and private manufacturers to
study the designs and details of con-
struction with a view to learning to
what particular branch of the indus
try manufacturing plants can best be
adapted in the creation Of Uncle Sans
new air fleet.

Currant JeIIy.-Currants for jelly
should not be overripe or picked i'm
mediately after a rain. Look the cur
rants over carefully. wash but do not
remove the stems. Mash few in the
bottom of the preserving kettle with a
wooden potato masher and continue
to add the fruit until they are all
used. Bring slowly to the boiling point
and let simmer until the currants look
white. Strain through several thick
nesses of cheesecloth or drain through
jelly bag. Measure the juice and
boil it five minutes, add an equal meas
ure of heated sugar, bring to the boil
ing point and boil three minutes, skim
and pour into glasses. Let stand in
a sunny window for day, cover with
paraffin and keep in COOL dry place.

Wild raspberries abound. These berries
have a most delicious flavor, but being
smaller than the cultivated kind are
better used for jelly, shrub and sirups
or the Juice combined to give flavor to
other fruits in canning.
Strawberries are not sufficiently
rich in pectin to make good jelly, but
the flavor is so delicious that expert
ments have been made with these
fruits lacking pectin, saving them to
us In the form of jelly. Take the white
pith of half an orange, boil 1t for an
hour or two to remove all its pectin
and add it to strawberry juice and
see what fine jelly can be made. The
yellow rind should all be removed be-
fore using the orange peel unless you
want the combination of flavor. There
will be sufficient pectin in half an
orange rind for several glasses of
jelly.
Strawberry Cup.-Prepare a freezer
of vanilla ice cream. Add three table
spoOnfuls of orange extract to a cup
full of heavy cream, whipped. Halve a
few choice berries lengthwise and
press the smaller ones through a sieve
and mix the pulp and Juice with cup
full and half of sugar; chill. To serve,
put tablespoonful of the juice in the
bottom of sherbet cup, add a round
ing portion of cream, pipe the whipped
cream above, pour on another spoon
full of the sirup and decorate with the

For every day and out of doors the

have anything better suited to her
needs than the plain gingham dress
pictured here 1t is cut on boyish

the front, buttoning to one side with
white buttons and striped collar, cuffs,
and belt of gingham in the same color
of the dress, with white stripes.
There are some less robust, but very
useful and pretty little dresses made
of chambray in pink or blue, light yell
low and pale green with short bodices
Of white dimity and the chambray
skirts either plated or shirred on to

decorated with little chicks, or birds,
or even baby rabbits and squirrels,
done in cross-stitch embroidery. Sleeves
in these dresses are short, sim

toasted bread crumbs and one-half cup
full of minced boiled ham. Pack in
small cups or molds. Chill on ice
and when ready to serve surround
each mold with olives and dress with
mayonnaise.
Ellsworth Salad.-Drain can of

place on crisp lettuce leaves.
Mixed Salad.-Slice some tomatoes
and cucumbers and arrange on head
lettuce. Into French dressing stir as
much roquefort cheese as is liked and
add to the vegetables just as they are
ready to serve. For those who do not
enjoy the delicious cheese, the dress
ing may be served without it.
Vegetable HarIequin.-Cook half a
peck Of spinach as usual and drain,
then chop fine, seasoning well. Cut
three or four cooked beets into dice
and heat in a tablespoonful Of butter.
Season well with salt and pepper Re
heat two cupfuls Of peas in the same
way. Arrange the spinach in a ring
around a small platter. The spinach
should be dry enough to make a ridge
an inch and half high; inside the
ring at either end put the beets, and In
the middle the peas, keeping the line
of division straight as possible. Over
the whole sprinkle parsley and send
very hot to the table. Others combi-
