HOW to Make
JeLLieS
BY Loretto G. Lynch,

VVIlTH every indication OF
w higher prices in the fall,
the thrifty housewife is
making some jelly. True, the cost
of sugar is high. and in many Sec
tons fruit is non- too cheap, but
the "other fellow" must pay the
same prict approximately as you,
and in addition you must paw him
for his labor, overhead and interest
on investment besides.
The task of making a supply of
jelly for the family.pantry for win
ter is not difficult, If the housewife
uses judgment. In the first place.
too much should not be attempted
at one time. The care and /eXer-
cises is apt to grow lax if a never
ending quantity seems to be star
ing one in the face.
Another suggestion is the group
method OF working. Several women
should plan to help each other.
A large enamelware cook pot will
be needed. Tin or iron will be af-
fected by the fruit juices often to
the detriment of ones stomach.
Then one should have several yards
of cheesecloth, which may be folded
to several thicknesses and sewed
into a three-cornered bag.
Only from fruits containing pee
tin can jelly be made. Unless a
fruit contains pectin one is but
wasting time in attempting to
make jelly from it. A fruit ripe or
overripe is not nearly so good for
jelly-making as fruit that IA un-
der-ripe. Remember this when
choosing your fruit.
Fruits known to contain pectin
are apples. crabappless currants.
ounces, cranberries, grapes and
blackberries. If you want to make
jelly of peach parings, the parings
must be cooked with apple. Rasp-
berries combined with currants are
the makings of a much-prized jelly.
The fruits should be washed and
then cut into pieces and cooked in
a very little water until soft, as
with apples, or in the case OF
grapes or currants the fruit should
be crushed until the juice flows. No
water is required. When soft tho
fruit should be turned into the
jelly-bag, previously wrung out of
hot water. The bag should be hung
and the juice allowed to drip into
a large bowl. At the end the bag
may be squeezed to extract the re-
naming juice, but this juice should
be caught in aonther bowl. II will
make a cloudy jelly good enough
for spreading between the layers of
jelly cake. The juice should be
measured in any convenient meas
urc. For each measure Of juice
allow thrce-fourths of measure
of sugar. Mix with juice and boil
until a little dropped from a spoon
will just hold its shape on a plate
when allowed to cool.
When the jelly is ready, pour into
small glasses or jars previously
dipped into hot water. When cold,
pour melted paraffine over the glass
to the depth of oue-fourth OF an
inch.

WORKERS. LUNCH BOX.

To have the thought of the lunch
box in mind while preparing the
other meals will do much toward
answering that important question,
What shall l have for the lunch
box today" A whole ham can be
bought with the lunch box in mind.
The first half. if boiled or baked for
dinner. will furnish cold slices OF
ham for the luncheon sandwiches;
other slices may be cut off for fried
ham sandwiches, and ham loaf or
ham croquettes, which may be
eaten cold.
For a sandwich filler. there is q
choice of cold sliced meats, meat
loaf, dry sausage, liver sausage.
eggs fried or hard boiled), Ameri-
can cheese. cottage cheese with
chopped peppers, salmon, sardines.
baked beans, peanut butter, jams,
jellies and marmalades.
Sometimes an inviting little
brown baking dish of equally good
and substantial food is preferred.
This dish may contain baked beans,
bean loaf, meat loaf, individual
meat pie, spinach with hard-boiled
eggs, kidney bean stew or any IA
vorite dish. Paper dishes are suit
able for some of these foods.
Fresh fruits or canned fruits
should also be included. something
rweet-a dish of pudding, a piece
of pie. gingerbread, some cookies
or dropcake. The thermos bottle
gives opportunity to have hot or
cold drink and is really "A very good

the bust.

Ernesto, his glance showing that
his heart was wholly devoted to his
patron. "Who knows, In time may

From this scene Julian returned
TO his library at peace with hlmself,
and yet as he started to work again
the words or his brother came
hoating into his mind. He shook
his head impatiently; he was above
paying attention TO such ISLANDERS
and yet
He tossed down a paper and
sought out Severe. The latter was
talking with Captain Wickersham.
Come along" said Don Julian, II

to a tamale, Spanish style. What
do you say? Shall we go to the
Granada"
II Severe saw in the proposed
visit to the restaurant anything
more than appeared on the surface
he did not hesitate: he knew well
that at this hour Alvarez would be
there and that anything might hap
pen or nothing.
The three men drove down chat
ting and sat not far from the gos-
siping dandy and his cronies.
The presence Of Don Julian
seemed to act as a prod to his rival.
His banter increased and his sallies
called forth the lour approval of
his friends.

THE PRAIRIE MOTHER. BY Arthur
Stringer. Indianapolis: Tho Bobhs-
Merrill Company.
Readers of that delightful book.
"The Prairie Wife," will derive an
even greater enjoyment from this
sequel by Arthur Stringer. The
two principals of "The Prairie
Wife," Duncan Argyle McKail and
Chaddie. his wife; Duncan's English
cousin, Lady Alicia Elizabeth New
land, and Peter Kelley, are the
quartet of characters around whom
this story of an unusual domestic
situation is constructed.
The story is in the form of a
diary, written by Chaddie, and be-
gins at a period soon after the
birth of her third child. After the
birth of his children, Duncan had
transferred the title to his ranch
to his wife, and when a series of
unfortunate speculations in land
had bankrupted him, he found that
he had also lost S35. ZOO belonging
10 his cousin. Chaddie had insisted
on turning over the ranch to
square the debt to Lady Alicia,
and the young couple began all
over again on small 1aTH1, With
no capital and an Insufficient equip
ment.
Lady Alicia arrives in Canada
with an English maid and numcr-
GUS trunks and takes possession of
the ranch. More than this, she
takes possession of Duncan, which
causes a separation between the lat
ter and Chaddie. Chaddie goes into
the ranching game, and Peter kot-
ley is introduced to the reader, ap-
parently for the purpose OF sub
jecting Chaddie to the same temp
tations as came to her husband in
the person OF Lady Alicia.
From now on, Chaddie occupies
the principal interest of the reader,
who will find that in her Mr..
Stringer has drawn an exception
ally fine character.

that was desirable and admirable in

Never in all her life had any
youth interested her otherwise

had met Oswald Grismer after many
years and had danced with him
and was conscious of his admira-

life when her attitude toward any
man had been not quite clear-not
entirely defnable.
She wrote many pages to Cleland
that night. And cried herself to
sleep.
The next day Ser aunt came up
from Bayport. And, a week later,
she went away to Bayport with
Miss Quest to begin what seemed TO
her an endless penance of two years
