Making Cherry Pickle.

pour boiling spiced vinegar over it.
This, however. wrinkles the cherries.

lar result is attained. except that the
fruit will remain plump and attractive.
Fill the jars about three-fourths full of
cherries. Then for each quart Jar uti-

sticks OF cinnamon and six blades of
mace. Boil this for five minutes. then

HOME ECONOMICS.
BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT.
Time for Sewing,

Even II a woman buys most of her
own clothing and her family's ready
made, yet she must mend, alter, re-
pair and darn. and thus she must plan
for some time to sew.
In most households, particularly II
there are daughters. much moro sewing
than this Is done. Generally It is a
seasonal occupation, a mad rush in
spring and fall to get the family ready
for the summer, and then for school.
Dressmakers. who go out by the day
are rushed then, and idle for weeks be-
lore ste. ana ana aaer aieer: In some respects Of
can hardly be avoided. for the new
fashions of design and material cannot
be foreseen. Yet few OF US need hang SO
close to the heels Of the latest style
that we could not manage our own and
a sew1ng-woman's leisure better than
we do. Underwear, house clothes and
much Of the little children's clothing
can be made in the of season, and by
avoiding extremes and using a little
imagination, most women can forecast
the general effect of an approaching

rupted stretches for sewing. whether
alone or with seamstress, we can cut
down the meals. the cleaning and all
the house routine to very simple terms,
and we can do on a Saturday a good
deal Of the ensuing weeks cooking
ham. baked beans, fruit cakes. pies and
the like can be laid in store. Then we
can use our evenings for cutting out.

expected call need not put US out too
badly.
We can make like garments and like
parts Of garments at the same time
It takes about half the time to make

out all at once, make the four coats,
then the four pairs Of trousers, and

Redhead Is in Great Trouble.
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

0x IhOhNTON w. BCRGESS.
Trouble comes to one and all
Brave and timid. big and small.
-Redhead.
Redhead the Woodpecker lay in the
grass at the foot of the tree into
which he had flown to escape from
Sharpshin the Hawk Poor Redhead!
He hardly knew yet what had hap
pened. His head was too dizzy for him
| to think clearly. His head was dizzy,
one Of his wings ached dreadfully and
| was useless. and he was faint from pain
and fright. So he lay in the grass at
the foot Of the tree and wondered how
| he came to be there.
What had happened was this: When
Redhead flew with all his might in
among the thickly growing branches of
that tree to escape from Sharpshin the
Hawk he had no time to pick his way.
He simply dashed into them blndly. 1t
was the only thing he could do. The
result was that he struck his head
against one branch and one wing against
another The bones of the wing were
not broken, but H. was SO badly strained
that he couldn't use it,
Had Sharpshin hung around there
watching for a few minutes this story
would never have been told. But he
didn't hang around. When he missed
Redhead by almost nothing at all he
didn't stop. He kept right on. He knew
ne couldn't get Redhead in among those
branches and he knew that Redhead
wouldn't come out for some time. Walt
ing around there would be waste Of
time. So Sharpshin kept on in his swift
flight to look for breakfast elsewhere.
Ana so he didn't see Redhead drop fiut-
tering down through the branches to
the grass at the foot of the tree.
For long time Redhead lay quiet
Just where he fell. 1t was cool down
there In the grass, for the dew OF the
night was still on it. His head ached
and his wing ached. and he felt too
miserable to want to move. He felt
too miserable to even be afraid in
his helplessness. But by and by his
head felt better. and then he began
to realize what had happened and how
helpless he was. He tried. oh. how
he tried. to fly. But that wing was
useless and all he could do was to
futter about. and he knew that this
would never do. No. indeed. this would

There is danger In permitting her
to believe that she can wear any kind
of a bodice with separate skirt, then
complete the costume with sash; but
she should know that fashion permits
her to indulge in a departure from one
color between shoulder to ankle. OF
course, one uses the word ankle"
through tradition. 1t has been so long
since a skirt ever knew what an ankle
was, that the joining Of the two sounds
fantastic. Yet fashion Is bent toward
an alliance Of this sort.
It may be that the Americans will
return to the fashion Of 1918 and won

The Artistic Effect.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

1t may not sound especially attrac-
tive to describe frock as having a
mauve taffeta bodice and a white crepe
georgette skirt embroidered In pink and
mauve paillettes. The average woman
might shrink from the idea, but the
fact is that an unusual woman can
carry such a gown to success.
There is little use rebelling against
this fashion for a bodice Of one kind
and a skirt of another. It sounds as
though we were going in for a peasant
costumery, but we are really adopting
a phrase of victorianism which our
predecessors considered agreeable and
artistic.
1t was only in medieval and the
present day that women considered 1t
correct and lovely to dress in one color
from head to toe, or hesitated to apply
color in a delicate manner on one fabric
that stretched from shoulder to ankle.
Men have never been inclined to tho
color scheme.

evening. All that time Redhead had
had nothing to eat. Because of his pain
and his lack Of food he was weak, and
all the time was growing weaker. You
remember he had had no breakfast.
Poor Redhead. He was in great
trouble. and the worst of it was he
could see no way out of it. Sooner or
later Black Pussy or Reddy Fox or
Jimmy Skunk would be sure to come
prowling that way. and if he hadn't
starved to death before then that would
be the end of him.
"If only l could get up in the tree"
moaned Redhead. II would feel safer
up there
He tried and tried. but he didn't have
strength enough to climb the trunk of
that tree. Each time he fell back and
for a while lay painting. He was too
weak. Lack Of food had taken his
strength. And all this time he hadn't
been discovered by anybody. Redhead
was just about ready to give up.
