Fine f ointsin the Buy
ing and Serving of
These Fruits
By Virginia Carter Lee

N URING August both water
melons and cantaloupes are
at their best; and as they
furnish one of the best Of summer
desserts they should be frequently
included in the daily menus.
Many housekeepers consider the
cost as rather prohibitive, but when
1t is taken into consideration that
the rind Of the watermelon gives a
delicious sweet pickle for the winter
and the cantaloupe furnishes a des-
sert requiring no cooking, the initial
cost is materially lessened.

unfortunately lost the Family
recipe" my mother and grandmother
before her, used
1t was served in the proportion of
about third glass syrup, filled up
with cold water. 1t was most de-
licious and refreshing, and we made
quarts Of it each year. | should be

can send the directions for making
it this summer.-Mrs. T. B., NeqU

RASPBERRY VINEGAR or rasp-
berry shrub is one of the most
refreshing Of summer beverages. The
loganberry juices on the market af-
ford good substitute as far as flavor
is concerned, but they are really
heavy syrups lacking the acidity of
the homemade fruit vinegar.
Two recipes, varying a little in
concentration, are given for those
who, like our correspondent, may
have lost grandmother's recipe but
remember the delicious flavor of this
refreshing drink.
Raspberry Vinegar
Put two quarts Of crushed rasp-
berries in large bowl. Pour over
them two cupsful Of cider vinegar
and set in cool place for twenty
four hours, then strain off every
particle of liquid Crush TWO more
quarts Of berries, pour over the fruit
the vinegar juice and again let stand
for twenty-four hours. In the morn
ing strain off the liquid into a pre-
serving kettle, heat to the boiling
point, add six cupsful of granulated
sugar and let boil for twenty min
utes. Store in sterilzed, self-seal-
ing bottles and fill them to over
flowing.
A few tablespoonsful of this vine
gar, with the addition Of cracked ice
and carbonated water, make most
delicious and refreshing summer
beverage. V. C.. /.
The second recipe, which should be
credited to Janet Mckenzie Hill. is
raspberry shrub not so concentrated
as Miss Lees, one-quarter of a cup
being used to three-quarters of a cup
Of water.
Raspberry Shrub
l quart of cider vinegar.
: quarts of red raspberries.
I pint of sugar to each pint of Juice.
Put three quarts of the berries into
an earthenware jar and pour over
them the vinegar. Let stand about
twenty-four hours, then strain
through jelly bag, pressing out all
the liquid. Pour this liquid over
second three quarts of fresh berries
and let stand again twenty-four
hours. Again strain through a jelly
bag, expressing the Juice. Add the
sugar as above and let boil twenty
minutes. Store as canned fruit or
in bottles.
To serve use quarter of a cup
OF the shrub to three-quarters Of a
cup Of water.

Look to your sugar bill, as well
as your meat bill, and let the rest

The following breads, for exam

are better for afternoon teas than
sweets:
Boston Bread With Walnu,s
Mix dry ingredients together
namely, one cupful Of rye -four, one
cupful of cornmeal, one cupful Of

one and one-half teaspoonsful Of
soda, two cupsful of sour milk, tws
tablespoonful of rat and one cup

a well CREASED mold and steam
about three hours. Remove from
the mold and bake for about one
hour. This is excellent to have on
