FLORIDA GRAPES FOR
THE JUNE MARKET
(F. J. Zimmerman in New York
Packer)

The growing of fine bunch grapes
in Florida has in recent years been
much discussed and present indica-
tions are very favorable to the sue
cess of the grape industry in this
state. Experienced growers made
many failures with northern and 9TH
er stock, and are now learning that
the best and safest stock for them
to plant is from Florida grown adapt
ed varieties raised fros leceted hybrid
lstock which has been grown in limit
ed quantities on the Gulf Coast for a
good many years. Recent estimates
from those who should know, state
that several vineyards about Tarpon
Springs have fruit on at present writ
ing that would indicate yield Of over
$1,000 per acre in fruit this month
from vines planted only little over
two years ago.
This success in grape growing is
bound to attract considerable atten-
tion, one acre of two-year-old plants
! having recently rented near there for
5000 per acre cash per year for Pc
riod of two years. The Florida hy-
brid stock of grape plants properly
grown and cared for is at last receiv-
ing the attention due it.
The grapes usually begin to ripen
thereabout the third week In June,
their quality is the highest and the
demand for them cannot be filed for
some time to come. There Is no COM
petition against them in the grape
market. Their favor is distinct and
superior to the best other grapes to
be had at any time. The berries are
from medium to large in size and the
bunches usually range from one-half
to two pounds each, some varieties
averaging one pound each and others
having buches no larger than the
Concord but with superior flavor and
slipping qualities.

WHEN MONEY SEEMS TO DIS

year." said the man just back
from his vacation, ION account of the
money.
Before we started we figured up,
or we thought we did, every possible
expense that we should be under, and
we took along, or we thought we did,
money enough to cover everything
amply, and then we added, as we al
ways do, something for contingencies;
but when you go away you never can
tell. At home you do know prac-
tically. Here you have a settled rou-
tine and you can figure very close on
where you are going to come out, but
when you are away tho money seems
to just disappear. you don't know how.
Next year before We go away, after
we've got everything as we think all
figured \up. with everything provided
for in the way OF money, I shall add
about 30 per cent. to that In the
pocketbook. and then, to be easy, 1

COOKING THE FISH YOU CATCH
ONE OF THE JOYS OF CAMP LIFE

wood may build as large and hot a fire
as he wishes; the dweller in tents
may use a tiny sheetiron stove with
an oven to hang against the sides.
After all. it is not the cooking agent,
Lut the cook. that matters in getting a
successful meal in camp.
One of the first articles of diet for
the camper Is fish. 1t Is hardly neces-
sary to tell the camp cook how to pre-
pare trout, salmon and bass. These
aristocratic fish have so excellent a
flavor of their own that Is it almost
impossible to make them uneatable
provided they are not served half raw
But anglers of the humber streams
which boast only humber fish may en-
joy many a feast of what the English
call coarse fish"-including club, pile,
perch. carp. cusk and suckers" Some
of these are at their best when finer
fish, such as trout and salmon, are
out of season. The cold water in win
ter seems to harden the flesh and inn
part a sweetness not found in warmer
weather.
All course fish may be made palat-
able and a source of cheap, enjoyable
diet by simple means, one of which is

that she ran across the dress on the
promenade, she went home and
worked on it, and again if she tells
them the drawing is hers absolutely
they have only to glance at the bold
ness and unpuritanism to know she
speaks the truth. Something of her
own very self runs through every line
and curve and color and maybe that
is why dresses are so young and
evidently intended for striplings
Things have changed places. 1t was
the elderly artist that drew dresses
and hats to suit her own form and
face, and that accounts for our
clothes having been stiff and old
Now that the young thing has the bit
in her teeth-in other words the pencil
in her hand-there is something doing
and not only are the juveniles catered
to, but women getting past first youth
can dress SO youngish that time can
be robbed of it's toll.
You will find these young fashion
makers any day on the stairs of mode
magazines; some new ones are sub
mitting pictures to the editor. some
are employed regularly, some are free
lances. some sell designs first hand to
dressmakers. All the good ones have
a future, and since they like the occu-
patton and are fairly well paid their
tribe will increase. The number of
dress periodicals is on the increase
too, for the dressmakers, great and
small, depend on the publications;
also the we'll dressed woman for her
folderols. The little designer is the
greatest enemy to the Paris trade, and
there is ground for fear. The best
friend of the French couteurier-best
because he gives larger orders and
his pay Is surer-is the American;
and his greatest rival Is this same
sharp subject of Uncle Sam too. and
that Is why the couturier keeps tabs
on every American that enters his
shop to see that she-it's always a
woman-is not there to steal any OF
his thunder. She has stolen II OF
course. and made clever adaptations of
what she saw to suit the home trade.

alive in a tub of clear water for two
or three days before use. If running
water is not available, at least a third
part of the water should be renewed
every twelve hours.
Another simple method is to clean
and lightly salt the fish as soon as
taken from the water. Sometimes
careful cleaning alone, If done as soon
as caught, is all that is necessary to
remove n strong "fishy" or muddy
taste; many people like the flavor of a
mild acid, such as lemon or diluted
vinegar, which is used to wash the
fish or is rubbed well into the back
bone.
Small fish should be cleaned and
then cooked whole; medium size fish
may be opened to the backbone and
then split fiat. Filets may be cut
from large fish, using only the Chick
meat on each side of the backbone, or
the fish may be baked or boiled whole.
But 1t is wise not to boil a fish of
over two pounds weight.
Fish should be cleaned with much
care. The gall BLADDER should never
be broken. and the large blood vessels
which lie under the backbone must in
every case be removed. The fish should
be scaled or skinned, an easy process
which eliminates much of the objec-
tionable flavor
No fish need be served underdone,
as II is simple matter to know when
a fish is sufficiently cooked. The flesh
Of the thickest part separates readily
from the bone. A boiled fish usually
needs about fifteen minutes to the
pound, while baked fish is done when
a milky fluid flows from the flesh
when 1t is parted with fork.
The more common kinds of fish are
made delicious by cooking in com
bination with pleasant favored vege-
tables and herbs.

The fashion designer Of twenty-five
years ago was a middle aged person
whose talent ran to the correct and
comfortable rather than to the in
dividual. Her mind was like a depart-
ment store where one example runs
through whole rack of dresses. the
only difference being In size. Her de-
signs were sometimes attractive in a
cold sort OF a way. they were unsym-

the water against the face and had
no regard for anything. People were
soaked and dresses like rags. AS toe

look Of drowned kittens and the droves
OF women that came to town might
have passed for a flock of wild birds,
more interesting than beautiful. There
were not enough plumes in Paris to
replace the spoiled ones, and many
women could not afford to replenish
such costly stuff. The women took
the hats to milliners who worked over
them. But there was nothing to be
done, and pretty soon SO many of the

the street that the eye began to be

be wrought. They may duplicate al

reason that would put the ban on a
