EXCEII4ENT RECIPES
FOR PICKLING.

This is the time of year for the
housewife to attend to picking. The
following instructions and recipes are
offered by Mrs. McKimmon, head of
home demonstration work in the
State:
A soft or slippery G. addition is one
of the most common forms of spoil
age in making pickles. This is the re-
suit of bacteria action, and always
occurs when pickles are exposed
above the brine and very often when
the brine is too weak to prevent the
growth of spoilage organisms. Pre-
vention lies in keeping the pickles
we'll below the brine and the brine at
the proper strength. Experiments
have shown that in order to insure
the keeping of pickles for more than
a very few weeks brine should con-
tain 10 per cent of salt Once pickles
have become soft or slippery as re-
suit Of bacteria action. no form of
treatment will restore them to nor
NAL condition.
Hollow pickles sometimes occur
during the process of curing. This is.
indeed. one of the most frequent
causes of failure in pickle making.
This condition does not, however.
mean a total loss, as in the case OF
softening, for the reason that such
pickles may be utilized i'll the making
of mixed pickles or certain, forms Of
relish. Hollow pickles are generally
believed to be the result of faulty
development or nutrition of the GU
cumber. While there are good reas-
ons to believe that this trouble is in

NOTHING STRIkINGLY
NEW IN HATS.

d Paris.-In the mind Of the obSer-
attractive. What mere could women
ask?
The first and dominant move of
the milliners was to realize that the
long skirts and long waistlines. As
soon as the milliners gave recogni-
tion to this knowledge they threw the
big hat into the market. They do not
ignore the little hat, for there is
larger part of the public which would
go UNDATED if it could not buy some
thing small.
No one can put their finger on any
certain shape of trimming or ma
terial and say that this, and this
alone. is in first fashion. for the hats
that tumble against each other for

Certain fashions have heen retain

nonplussed when she sees featsses
still running high in fashion over

makers have exhausted in America
/ In hats, for example, the French
milliners have not released the side
plummage that drips far down over
the shoulder; they have not ceased
to put the Venetian masque veil
across the front of tricorne, and
they keep soft felt instead of velvet
as the favored fabric.
The dressmakers also retain GER
tain over-done features. The Amer
lean who came to Faris to see new
fashions at the August collections
raised her eyebrows at the extraor-
binary usage of monkey fur. Not only
were the dressmakers faithful to it.
