Apple Possibilities

The United States food adminis-
tration reminds us that every fall
apple has it's possibilities for winter
desserts or relishes and that none
should be allowed to waste. Here are
some receipts from the food admin
istration:
Canned Baked Apples
Wash and core good, sound tart
baking apples. Fill the cavities with
one tablespoon of syrup or honey for
each apple. Bake the apples until
tender in a pan containing n little
water. Pack the baked apples into
hot sterile jars, add the juice re-
naming in the pan. Fill the jars
completely with ii syrup made by
boiling together for two minutes,
water and syrup in the proportion
of one cup of water and one-halr cup
syrup. Seal the can.
Clipped Apples or Pears
Hart fruit (apples or pears), 8
pounds; sugar, l pound, g cups) /;
syrup, 3 pounds a cups); ginger
roor or crystallized sugar, l ounce;
lemons, 8; water, quarts.
Wash and prepare fruit. Weigh
after it is prepared. Add sugar to

uct Is thick and dark.

til they are tender. Remove the
cores from the apples and dice. Add
the apples, syrup and lemon juice
to the beets. and cook the mixture
until it is clear. Instead of storing
the conserve in jelly glasses. it may

this time that she observed that
Mildred's beauty increased with each
passing month.
The sisters resembled each other
in spite of the difference in eX-
preston and coloring. Honora was
dark, with brown eyes and straight
hair. She was naturally pale, fact
which she deplored. Mildred, fair,
with light, curling hair and with
blue eyes and much color, would
occasionally urge her sister to use
just little rouge"
What's the harm in it?" she
would argue.
There's no harm in it," Honora
would reply, but L would not like
to use it,"
Question and answer were indices
of the character of each speaker.
Arthur Bruce had known the
Brent girls since childhood. But
during his course at Cornell Fair
land had seen him seldom. His
summer vaactions had been spent
away from home with various col
lege friends, and the Christmas and
Easter holidays were so short and
there was SO. much to be cone in
them that he he'd little time for
calls at the Brent home.
Now, however, his student days
were ended and he was Dack in
Fairlands.
A Good Berth
'I am going into dads office, you
know" he informed Honora late one
afternoon, when he had dropped in
to see her and Mildred. Mildred was
out, but would be in soon, and he
sat down to wait and chat. LAS l
am the only son, dad expects il of
me. He counts on my carrying on
his business. So, very soon, l will
be going downtown every day-just
like a regular old businessman"
Il should think you would be
rather glad to have your niche all
ready for you" Honora commented.
And you'll find it nice to settle
down to regular work"
The handsome young fellow
laughed, throwing back his head
boyishly. Honora remembered that
he had always laughed like this
even when he and she had played
together years ago.
Il can't say that 1 am so keen
for work." he began. Then he
glanced out of the window and
stopped suddenly. A light of en-
pectancy sprang into his eyes.
Honora, following his glance, saw
Mildred coming up the path to the
house.

CHAPTER 1.


Honora and Mildred Brent were
orphans.
, The statement of this fact seems
to demand sympathy for them. Yet
they did not consider themselves OBJ
jects of sympathy.
Their father had died when they
were too young to remember him.
The death of their mother when
they were aged, respectively, fifteen
and seventeen had at first appeared
as a calamity. Certain it is that had
the mother herself known that she
was to leave her young daughters
she would have wondered agoniz-
ingly what would become of them.
While they could live simply on her
small income, yet they certainly
needed a parents tender care. Mrs.
Brent had a way of saying that there
was only one absolutely necessary
person in the world, and that person
was a mother.
Yet her death proved that she was
not necessary. Youth is buoyant and
looks to the future. Mrs. Brent's
friends spoke pityingly of those
poor children" and showered them
with kindnesses.
So Honora and Mildred got on
comfortably in spite of the loss or
the mother whose one thought they
were. The middle-aged combination
companion and housekeeper who
had been devoted to Mrs. Brent con-
tinued to live with Mrs. Brents
daughters. Mrs. Higgins was an
able manager and spent the family
income judiciously until the girls
had finished their course at the
Fairlands high school. After which
both took positions in downtown
Offices.

II wish we could be together, ="
Honora had sighed one day soon
after their graduation. 1T would
be so much pleasanter."
Il don't agree with you" Mildred
declared I'VE will get on better If
we are separated during business
hours. If we worked together, you
would worry about me-or'-as an
afterthought-"I would worry about
YOU"
The older sister knew that this
last sentence was added more from
courtesy than from veracity. For
it had always fallen to her lot to
feel the responsibility of her young
er sisters care. Whereas Mildred
was aware that Honora was quite
able to look out for herself.
This state of affairs was not due
to the fact that one girl was eight
cen months older than the other,
but that Mildred was very pretty
and Honora was not. Honora rec
ognized that her more attractive sis
ter would be subjected to tempta-
tions such as she herself was not
likely to meet.
Yet she was not jealous of Mil
dred. On the contrary, she had
genuine admiration for her, coupled
with an affection that was almost
maternal in its strength. And Mill
dred was fond of Honora in an
easygoing, comfortable kind of
way.

beautiful one.
\ Comfortable Home
AS the Brent girls had been born
here, and still lived in the home to
which their father had brought
their mother as a bride, they con-
themselves as much part
of the place as was the old First
Church standing on the hill over
looking the business section of the
city.
Had their mother lived the sis
ters would probably have gone to
college. AS it was, they preferred
starting life as soon as they could

name for earning their own living
and thereby increasing the income
that seemed now too restricted fer
