Preparing Fruits and Vegetables

Deep Silk Fringe Is in Again
4 Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose '..

A LREADY l have advised you to
"A cherish the lace bag and II you have
needed the suggestion. you will find.
many ways this summer to utilize what
YOU have so carefully laid away, for the
designers are beginning to realize once
again the beauty of lace and the various
ways in which 1t can be adapted to
give the maximum of trimming value
with the minimum of labor. They are
therefore not inclined to let such a
good thing slip through their fingers"
Another revival is the use of fringe,
which. it might be said. is as yet in its
infancy. We have had the narrow
fringe used at the hem of the skirt for
several seasons. but this season the
deep fringe was introduced on several OF
the French models. We saw It in
heavy wool and also in silk but the
latter seems to have made the real hit.
This deep silk fringe Is quite the same
as the fringe which was favored by
our mothers for the black satin dress
and here again is a revival, for. with
out doubt, the black satin dress will be
considered very smart for the coming
fall and winter.
To illustrate the use of lace, I am
giving you a model today which shows
how lace used In small quantity can
dress up a frock. This is one Of the
cotton voiles which are proving their
worth for summer wear In this par
ticular instance the color is yellow, and
white filet lace insertion is set In two
rows, either side of the plated fronu
of the skirt. 1t is also used as an inset
or the sleeves. The sash is of yellow
satin ribbon.
The hat is of black listered straw
with under-brim facing of white chiffon.
The ribbon which ties around the crown
Is of white satin.

that all the needed apparatus is handy
and in condition for immediate use. As

utensils with which the product is to
come in contact must be scruMilously
clean-preferably scalded with boiling
water.
Use Fresh. Sound Products
The fruits or vegetables to be canned

Intermittent Boiling
For the benefit of those to whom the
intermittent boiling or processing may
not be familiar. IL may be explained
that this consists merely OF placing the
cans or jars Of material to be treated
In the boiler or canner and boiling for
the required length Of time on each or
three successive days. BY many this Is
considered n safer procedure than the
use of a single. long period Of boiling
