My dear Mrs. Wilson-Will you
kindly let me know the best way
to put up butter for the winter?
Some say brine, others say brine
is not good. Some say salt. AS
everything is so awfully high in
price, | would like to try putting
up some. Thanking you in ad-
vance, LANCASTER.
To pack butter for winter use scald
and cool the crock, and then line with
cheesecloth. Place a. layer of salt
one-inch deep in the crock and then
pack in the butter in three-inch lay
ers. Sprinkle with one-half Inch layer
of salt and then repeat this process
until the crock is filled to within two
inches of the top. Gather up cheese
cloth around the butter and cover
with a two-inch layer of salt. Cover
closely, tying with paper after plac-
ing on the lid. Store in a cold spring
house or cellar.

"SUMMER furs" is such an old ex-
~ preston and has been used so
much the last few seasons, since women
have been wearing peltry in the sum
mer time-to say nothing of the ridicule
that has been attached to the fashion.
that women hardly have the nerve to
admit they either own or would wear
summer furs. After all, many of the
fur pieces are only morsels, just mere
touch of fur at times, but as a rule
that little touch is choice and ex
pensive as well.
The fur tippets ! told you about
many months ago. but with the coming
of the suit into favor this spring, the
tippet became the rage to finish the
neck of the suit. They are also worn
with the dresses of serge or lighter
materials-just little something
about the neck to take away the bare
! look. Sable and marten are considered
the smartest, and here and there one
sees mink and ermine. The head. claws
and brush play an important part and
usually decorate the neck at the left
side or at the back toward the left. One
of the tippets is shown at the right Of
the sketch.
Small capes are also very good, ant
it is rumored that this style is to be
very good for the coming fall. One Of
these little shoulder capes is shown al
the left Of the drawing. This is made
of mole and is draped at the front into
jet buckle.

is not much warmth to such garment,
but they are so attractive and look so
well over the summer frocks. AS rule
two or more shades of chiffon are used
to make these capes. For instance, /
saw a very attractive model where the
gray chiffon formed the lining and the
outside, while between the two thick
nesses was used a wonderful shade of
lavender chiffon. This cape was trim
med with narrow bands of mole.
Black and white effects are very good
in these chiffon wraps. This combina
tion makes them adaptable for several
gowns. Shown is black chiffon cape
lined with white chiffon and trimmed
with ermine, the tails of the little
animal forming tassels to trim.

SHOULD THE SERVANT GIRL

and, therefore, cannot select them with

A servant girl never has one moment
to herself. Just because she is poor
she must work and do things women are
not supposed to do. Why are we asked
to move such things as pianos and ice
boxes every time we dust? Do women
forget we are just like they, only
''lower classes?
There is one place where rich and
poor are classed alike and also treated
the same. and If we cannot have free

may perhaps rest in peace in the world

Note-When preparing all green

them again carefully. This will re-
