it. 1t seemed to serve as good way

Ruth was sitting on the davenport
and she was entirely conscious of the
fact that Jack was sitting next to her.
When she turned to him she laughed
into his eyes and found it exciting. 1t
had been quite while since il had been
possible to play and fence with Scott.
She had rebcllcd against this fact but
had found that it did no good, as vet
she had nothing to substitute for the
fencing of courtship.
Jacks quiet persistence, too, was
different, and there was danger about
playing with man when nothing could
come Of 1t that was more than inter-
esting. .
Ruth felt that the evening had been
great success until when she went
into her room with Natalie and Helen
to see them into their things she met
Natale''s eyes and read in them distrust.
Ruth ignored it, and talked and laughed
gayly.
''Did you have good time?" she
asked the girls finally.
"Snlcndid." said Helen. "The dinner
was delicious"
'You and Jack seemed to enjoy it,

excluded Natalie completely.

Natalie founced back in her chair

WHENENE Err the sailor hat is, men

visuaizcs the sailor of rough straw,
banded rather severely by ribbon. This
is the sailor which never really goes
out of fashion; the crown may be high
or low and the brim narrow .or wide,
according TO the dictates Of the season,
but this type of headgear is with us
every season. However, it was not

all is trimmed with tiny ostrich tips
that ofttimes encircle the entire hat.
At that, the tips are usually fuller and
larger toward the back. Bright red,

Seventh. Permitting the jars to
stand in a warm kitchen when cool
ing.
How to Prevent This Condition
Work quickly in a cool kitchen or
out of doors in shady spot. Care
fully select the grass and then fol-
low the canning instructions to the
letter.
When the jars are sufficiently cool
enough for you to handle them place
them in a pan of cold water to chill
quickly. Then store in cool, dry
place.
Why Professional Gamers Are
Successful
The professional Gamer thor
oughly understands that. failure
means not only loss of material, time
and containers, but also a loss Of
prestige or his good name. For this
reason, when he starts to can, he
stays close to the job until it is all
finished.
So you, too, must know that to
prevent failure you must, once you
start the process, stay close to it
until finished. This means that you
cannot conduct telephone conver-
sation with your friend or have
some caller run in for few min
utes' chat and thus cause you to
waste half an hour. If friends call
you up or run in to see you just tell
them what you are doing and that
each minute lost may spell failure,
then beg to be excused and get on
thesjob.
Last fall l. received several letters
from women who had made failure
of their canning. After inquiries l
found that ore always invited a
friend or two to help and that she
had to stopsin the middle of the work
to get luncheon. And she really did
not know if she left the blanched
vegetables in pile or if they were
spread out fiat or how long before
she was ready to place them in the
jars. Now, how could she have any
thing else but failures on her hands /?
To the second inquiry l found that
the woman worked quickly, had the
product in the jars in record time
and then placed the jars in the boiler,
turned on the gas, then went down.
town to do some shopping. She had
a slot meter and the supply of gas
gave out. So when she returned the
boiler was just warm. Then she
heated the boiler again and boiled
the jars for one hour. Then she re-
moved the jars, sealed them and fin
ished the process. Later she discov-
cred that all was total loss.
The third inquiry brought forth
the fact that the method was fol-
lowed closely, the vegetables proc
essed as directed and then the boiler
was removed from the fire and the
Jars allowed to cool in the water.
Then they were removed, fastened
and stored. They looked splendid,
but we're fiat soured-the long, slow
cooling caused this trouble.
For each failure you can trace a
cause, so do not neglect anything.

stop boiling. Careless preserving
will ruin the contents of the jars anC
thus cause waste of materials, time
and fuel.
I Eighth. Just the moment the time
is up for processing remove the jars
and fastcn the lids securely. Place
in a cool room free from drafts tc
cool Invert the jars while cooling
to test for leaks.
Do not keep the jars in the kitchen
to cool them. Remove at once to a
cool room. Vegetables like aspara-
gus, peas, beans and corn contain a
vegetable protein that quickly spoils
the contents of the jar if the prod
ucts are allowed to stand in a warm
room to cool. Keep the fact in mind
that for successful results you can
not do several things at the same
time. When canning and preserving
stick to that job. You cannot use
part of one method and part of an
other nor can you do any expert
menting. Your success alone de-
pends upon how closely you follow
the above rules.
Asparagus
Asparagus should be cut early
in the morning or, if purchased
not over four hours in transit. Open
the punches and then grade the
stalks for size. Cut them to fit the
jars and then scrape or pare lightly
from just below the tip to the end of
the stem.
Place the prepared grass in a pan
Of cold water. When all the grass is
prepared select deep pail and place
under the running water. Take four
or five stalks of the grass in the
hand and, holding the tip ends down,
twirl or iounce up and down in the
deep running water. This removes
sand from the tips.
Now place in a square of cheese
cloth or a piece of white mosquito
netting and blanch for twelve min
utes, and then cold dip. Pack into
jars and adjust the rubbers and lids.
Process as directed in the method of
canning for three hours.
Asparagus contains n vegetable
substance that will become a fiat
sour under certain conditions and
thus make it unfit food to eat. This
condition is called thermophyle, or
fiat sour. 1t cannot be detected until
the jar is opened. Some of the causes
for this are:
First. The grass standing in the
sun after cutting.
Second. Overheating, due to pack
ing and transit.
Third. Standing in a warm kitchen
while awaiting the canning process.
Fourth. Left lying in close piles
after blanching. Always spread out
fiat on cool surface at once after
removing from the cold dip.
Fifth. Placing the grass when
prepared in hot-water bath and de-
laying in quickly bringing the water
to a boil, and then continuing the
process without delay.
Sixth. Failure to remove promptly
from the water bath at the end of
the time allowance.

thing. 1t has just been this last

Now, Cynthia, a few weeks ago ne
met another girl who he says is very
sweet. His confidence slackened, and
his affection turned to impatience. until
gradually he became very cool and up :

leave me early every time he came to
see me. He made an engagement with
me one 'time and never came. That
night | cried when l went to bed.

gized and said he was sick. He then
only came to see me once week. A
