PIG pounds-or cups-of brown su-
gar.) The work is now done.
This kind of pickle may be kept in
an earthen crock as grandmother kept
hers. as it is not necessary to seal this
variety in glass jars. If the house
keeper wishes to seal them, however.
she should sterilize the jars, fill them
hot vinegar over them, and seal them
also while very hot.
Dill Piekles.-Wash cucumbers to
8 inches long and put layer of them
in the bottom of a crock that holds at
least gallons; on top of the cucum-
bers place layer of clean grape
leaves and a bunch of dill seed on
the stalk; proceed in this way, alter
mating these layers. until the crock ,s
half full. then pour into it gallons OIL
water and of salt boiled together
for a few minutes. Spread caobage
leaves thickly on top and cover with
clean cloth; weight down with plate
with stone on top. Leave in this way
for 3 weeks, taking off the cloth now
and then to wash it. At the end or
this time the pickles are ready to eat
and should be transparent. like amber
and also have sub-acid flavor (Which
the grape leaves and stems give to
the cucumbers).
Picked Beets-Boil small beets till
tender and remove the skins Have
ready enough boiling vinegar to cover
the beets in jars. To prepare the not
vinegar, add to it 2 cups of granu-
lated sugar and tablespoons of
mixed spices for each quart of vine
gar: let boil up a few minutes. then
pour it over the cooked beets which
are packed in hot sterillzed glass Jars.
Seal jars at once.

Elaborate Purses.

Folded or envelope forms in rather
small sizes continue to be the marked
feature of fashions in bags in Paris
says the Dry Goods Economist These
for the most part, are in black moire,
or heavy black fiber silk satin of very
lustrous finish. In other words, the
black bag takes precedence over the
colored bag for the coming season. as
it did for the season which has just
closed.
Frame bags are also represented in
the new lines. notably bags with a
straight frame of metal, either plain
or incrusted with jewels.
In the jeweled frames white as well
as colored stones are used. sapphires.
emeralds and rubies being preferred,
One of the successes of the season
in the new Moreau collection is a
square. fiat envelope bag in black
moire, hung from a straight frame in
crusted with sapphires. The bag is
carried by means of a heavy silver
chain.
In decorations for bags the newest
note Is the use of marquisette, which
is inserted in the fabric or leather.
and Is largely replacing stitchings,
embroideries and pipings of kid on the
newest and most high h-class models.
These bags are further ornamented
with monogram in marquisette.
For Innings, white or cream moire
Is used in preference to changea BILE
or flowered silk in the expensive mod
els, the figured silks appearing gem
orally as Innings in the lower grades.

Putting Up First Pickles.

asking for picking recipes. The fol-

these requests:
Sweet and Sour Cucumber Pickles.
(The sweet cucumber pickles are
made exactly like the sour, except
that sugar to suit individual taste is
added to the vinegar, when it is scald-
| ed if one wishes to have the pickles
sweet.)
To make the sour pickles, wash
small cucumbers and sprinkle them
with salt, then cover them with cold
water (use 1 heaping cup of salt to
/ gallon of the cold water, in doing
thiS). Let stand overnight, and in the
morning drain off the brine and throw
| it away. Now put the pickles into an
earthen crock and pour over them a

vinegar and water heated to the boil

in the lettuce bed hunting for insects,
and, of course, Peter at once told him
lal the news about Mr.. Blacksnake. Old
Mr.. TOad's beautiful golden eyes shone
with happiness when Peter told him
how Farmer Browns Boy had chased
Mr.. Blacksnake clear over in the
Green Meadows. Il don't think he'll

concluded Peter.

I've got to change my suit. This old
one is getting rather wrinkled and
shabby. If you'll excuse me. Peter,
think l will change II right now"
OF course Peter said he would ex-
cuse him. The polite thing for Peter
to have done would have been to turn
his back. But Peter had seen Old Mr.
Toad change his suit once before and
it was such a queer performance that
Peter was anxious to see if he would
do it the same way this time. SO he
impolitely sat down to watch.
Old Mr.. Toad bumped up his back
He bumped it and bumped it, His
head was bent down and his feet
tucked under him. The result was that
his old skin split down his head and
back. down the middle of the under
side and across his breast. Then Old
Mr.. Toad began to open and shut his
mouth and swallow very hard. Peter
could see that he was sucking that
loosened skin in at the corners of his
big mouth. Mr.. Toad swallowed and
swallowed. He rubbed his hind legs
against his body and the skin split on
those clear to the end of his longes,
toe. Then he wriggled his arms and
hands free and last of all he pulled
what remained of his old coat over
his head. swallowed very hard two OF
three times more, and there he was

was in his stomach. He had swal.

Peter Rabbit waited in vain for Old
Mr.. Toad to come out. He thumped
and thumped. but Old Mr.. Toad paid
no attention to this humping. once
Peter thought of digging down to find
out if Old Mr.. Toad was still there
under the tomato plant in the garden
of Farmer Browns Boy. but somehow
he couldn't quite do that. He was
afraid Old Mr.. Toad never would for
give him if he did that.
At last Peter gave up. "rll run back
here early in the morning." thought
Peter. perhaps I'll find him before
he digs in again."
AS for Old Mr.. Toad. he didn't bulge
until the middle of the night. He
dearly loves the twilight just after
jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun has gone to
bed behind the Purple Hills and the
Black Shadows come creeping out.
That is the time he likes best. for 1t
is cool and at the same time there is
light enough for good hunting. But

He must he sure that Mr.. Blacksnake
had gone to bed.

bluing. Clothes that appear yellow

of course, bluing should never be used
