Watermelon Pickles

To the Editor o. WoIaaH's Page:
Dear Madam--wnl you please print a good
recipe for picked watermelon rin9i r.
The following recipe is vouched for by
Alice Kitchel Kirk in her book, practical
Food Economy:
Take seven pounds of watermelon rind.
peeled: four pounds of light brown sugar.
one pint OF cider vinegar. one-half ounce OF
green ginger root, two tablespoonfuIs Of Gin
namon, two teaspoonfuls of ground allspice,
one teaspoonful of Glove and one teaspoonful
of mace.
You will need the following utensils:
Po-celsin-lined kettle, teaspoon, scales,
measuring cup. jars and pairing knife.
Divide the spices in three parts and tie
UP In muslin bags. Put the sugar and
vinegar into the kettle. add the spice bags
and ginger root broken into small pieces.
Bring to a boil and put in the watermelon
rind. cut in about two-inch-long pieces,
having soaked these in Ice water several
hours. Bring to a boil once more, remove
from the fire, cover and let stand In a cool
place twenty-four hours. Then take out the
watermelon rind and let the syrup again
come to boil. Add the rlnd again and set
AWAY for another twenty-four hours Do
this daily for a week. The last time bring
all to boil. simmer very gently ten min
utes and put away in jars.
In a foot-note Mrs Kirk asks that none Of
this work will be considered too much
trouble. She says good results will amply
repay a housewife for her effort, which
really only takes a few minutes each day.

Sounds queer doesn't it? There are,
Of course, only twenty-four hours in a
