ID 1CHARD and I were among the last
~ to leave the scene Of the lawn, fes.
tivaL As we drove home in the NOON

door to door in Wessex canvassing, !
became for the time being the we'll
informed young lady to whom tall
figure turned for counsel on matters
varied and debatable.
Richard was my senior by almost six
years and to have him ask my opinion
about anything was extremely fatter-
ing, especially as in each instance (with
the sole exception of canvassing) he
conveyed the impression of accepting
my say-so as the last word on that sub.
ject Also. he listened with an air OF
absorbed interest to whatever else
could find to talk about: this wasn't
much, since except for answering his
questions l much preferred listening to
him

Mrs. Carruth waiting up to give me the

With hot-water bath outfit the home

A false bottom for the processing ves-

pose is to allow free circulation of the
boiling water around and under the jars
and also to prevent the Jars from resting
on the metal bottom right next to the
flame. Such false bottom can readily
be made out Of pieces of lath or wood or
by bending a piece of stiff wire netting.
Still more convenient will be wire bas-
ket with small legs Ind fitted with han
dies on either end which stick up above

The Art of Cooking Rice

Southern people. who use more rice
than the other people Of the United
States, have many good methods of cook
ing it. They will tell you that rice.
when well cooked. has each grain well
swollen but separate from every other
grain.
To Boil Rice Southern Style-Haye
a quart of water boiling rapidly. Add
cupful of rice carefully and add 1t a
little at time. slowly so that the boil
ing does not stop. Boil for about twenty
minutes OF until grain taken between
the finger and thumb is soft Drain
through colander and pour a little hot
water through the rice to separate the
grains. Cover with cloth and set In
a warm place on the stove for about ten
minutes to allow the grains to swell, or
place 1t in the upper part of a double
boiler over hot water. cover and allow
to steam. If you cook rice in this way
the water in which the rice is cooked
should be saved. as much starchy ma
terial is left in it. Use 1t for thickening
soups. One cupful of raw rice makes
four cupfuls Of boiled rice.
Other Ways to Cook Rice-Some peo-
pie prefer to cook rice in a double boiler,
so that none of the food material Is lost.
II you cook rice In this way, use only
two and q half or three cnpfuls of
water to one cupful of rice. Have the
water boiling in the upper part of the
double boiler, add teaspoon of salt
and a cup of well-washed rice. Cover
and allow to cook over water until the
grains are soft. When rice Is cooked
In this way, the product is more moist
than when cooked southern style, so
when used In scalloped dishes or in
breads less liquid is required.
Rice Cooked in Milk - II you have
plenty of skim milk, try this way: Use
four or four and half cupfuls Of milk
to cne cup of rice. Add the rice to the
hot salted milk and cook until the milk
is absorbed and the grains soft. The
milk greatly increases the food value of
the dish.
Rice prepared in any of these ways
may be used for making many dishes.

The Wisdom of a Good Corset
A Daily Fashion Talk BY Florence Rose

THE decided change which Is taking
i place in the routine of the life OF the
present American woman is leaving Its
rrark on her mental attitude toward
everything. and many things that here
tofore seemed vitality important TO her
happiness are never even given pass
ing thought, while common sense is very
much in the limelight
One of the strongest indications that
common sense is very much with us
is the interest women are taking in the
buying of corsets Hitherto, many
women have seen the corset as an un-
important adjunct, They now realize
IL they are to be correctly costumed
in the business or public world the
correct corset ranks as the most i'm
portant part of the costuming. 1t is
gives them the substantial aid that moth
ing else can do.
II Is a well-known fact that for years
the doctors fought the corset, as an in
furious piece Of wearing apparel, but
as science has developed. the doctors
now pot only advocate corsets, but re-
quest that a woman who desires to do
her best work should wear a corset
that fits and one that has been con-
structed on scientific lines, which Is the
case of all the representative makes
now offered. Every woman may secure
this help. be she rich or poor, as the
selling price is also figured carefully, so
that, the poorer sister may be made
just as comfortable as the woman who
works because she enjoys ii, and not
because IL In necessary. ..
To return TO the good form of the
corset There Is no dress that requires
good corseting more than the jersey,
Jersey, by the way, Is as far in the
foreground today as II has ever been.
One OF the new jersey dresses Is de-
picted for YOU today. This was made
of tan-colored jersey with plain bodice
and sleeve. The panels front and back
