The following are some Of the best
fruits for jelly, given in order: Currant,
crabapple, apple, ounce, grape and
blackberry.
Never use tin, iron or copper utensils,
as the acids act on these, forming a
poisonous substance. Sterilize all
dishes used, especially the glasses into
which the jelly is to be poured. 1t is
much easier to fill glasses from pitcher
than from the kettle.
Bacteria and yeasts will not attack
jelly because it is so rich in sugar, but
it must be protected from mold. Disks
Of white paper, dipped in alcohol, are
good to cover. A larger disk may be
dipped in the beaten white of egg and
pressed down on the sides. Parafin
may be used, but it is best to use the
alcohol paper first, as this will destroy
any mold-spore that may be already
on the surface. Have the parafin
about one-fourth Of an inch thick so
that it will not crack in cooling.
To make a jelly-bag, fold together
two opposite corners Of a square three
quarters Of a yard long. Sew up in
cornucopia, making a rounding point;
sew . loop Of tape in each corner. limo
hook is handy, the jelly-bag can be
hung between two chairs.
Finally you can be sure OF success if

ance and simplicity is a gray and black
check, made in slip-over effect and trim
med with fancy black silk braid. The
front Of the waist is slashed below the
waist-line and the upper slashed edges
gathered. The upper edges Of the lower
slashed section are piped with the silk
braid before the seams are joined to simu-
late a girdle. Braid outlines the square
neck and trims the cuffs Of the short
sleeves Although they are Of the in
serted variety, the pockets on either side
Of the skirt are ample. They are outlined
with braid, corresponding with the deep
hem.
Daring successes are achieved with
Spanish yellow in combination with black
and navy blue. This is one of the most
striking examples Of the Spanish influence
upon modern fashions. 1t may be difficult
to visualize, but once seen nothing could
prove more fascinating that a frock Of
yellow silk crepe de chine covered alter
nately with circles and small polka dots Of
black. The skirt has soalloped tunic,
outlined with a roll of black satin, this
trimming being repeated on the V-shaped
neck Of the blouse. The belt is of soft
yellow georgette crepe. Short sleeves are
gathered into narrow bands OF self
material, while the backs are extended
over the shoulders and joined to the gath
! cred fronts in yoke effect. Spanish yellow
is not a screaming shade, but trather soft
ochre tint with rcddish-brown cast.
The long-waisted blouse with hounced
skirt persists because it is one Of the
most satisfactory Of straight-line types.
A model that may be developed so that
it could be worn'on almost any occasion, is
in fine Poiret twill, trimmed with narrow
bands Of beads. The blouse has a round
neck and long shoulders, the fastening
being at the back. The sleeves could b,
called either straight bands or deep cuffs
without fear Of contradiction. They
barely reach the elbows and, like the neck
are trimmed with narrow bands Of beaC
embroidery. Two wide hounces, outlined
with beading, form the skirt. Anothe
+ pretty idea for these founces also, is L
have them Of accordion plated crepe d.
chine or Canton crepe. There are few
) occasions when frock Of this type woul,
. not be CONNIE il faut, and the model j
p one that lends itself to development in
: variety Of materials and combinations O
! materials.
o Crepe back satins, just a little newe
than crepe de Chine, are used in som
formal afternoon dresses noted for thei
smartness and suppleness as well. o

at one side. Usually a three-quart,
Is sleeve is seen in afternoon models, an
rounded or pointed neckline hnishe
with bit Of lace or showing a han'
some lace and net guimpe accessory.
Berthas and fchus Of lace also al
used, with tabs extending in front to Il
waist, or longer. Every artist design
finds excuse for placing a flower,

to invest heavily in the "drop-stitch"
silks, because they show the strain Of
wear sooner then the closely-woven
fabrics, although they are exceedingly
pretty.
The simplest embroidery stitches
only are required to develop the pattern
of the embroidery on this chemise
illustrated. For the scalloped edges,
buttonhole stitches are needed, while
for the sprays and flowers, slightly
padded satin, eyelet and stem stitches
are used. A nightgown made Of the
same material and embroidered in the
same design would complete a charm
ing set. The chemise is slashed for
the insertion Of ribbon, the slashes
being finished with buttonhole em-
broidery. Lace edging outlines the
neck, armholes and lower edge Of the
chemise. The lace may be omitted,
If preferred, but it adds strength to
the scallops as well as elegance to the
general appearance Of the chemise.

POINTS ON SUCCESSFUL CANNING

The making of jelly is profit and
delight-if the jelly jells. When it won't
jell, there's always a reason.
In most fruits there is a substance
called pectin, a plant gelatin, somewhat
similar in its properties to starch. When
we heat the juice with the proper quantity
Of sugar, the pectin swells and dissolves
and is distributed through the solution,
causing it to become stiff and firm when
cooled.
Pectin is not developed until the fruit
is ripe or nearly so, but over-ripe fruit
tends to form syrup instead Of jelly, be-
cause it has developed sugar in too great
quantity. If too much sugar is added
to juice, it will form a thick syrup. Too
little sugar will make the jelly tough.
Fruit must contain acid as well as
pectin to produce jelly. Peaches and
pears are examples Of fruits which contain
pectin, but are not rich enough in acids
to yield jelly. Some acid fruits are not
rich in pectin.
II fruit juice ferments or is cooked
too long, the pectiR undergoes a change
and loses its power Of gelatinizing.
To boil cane sugar with an acid for
any great length of time, splits it into
two simpler sugars, neither Of which are
so sweet, and also makes the jelly darker
oolored. Therefore, give the jelly the
longest cooking before adding the sugar,
heat the sugar in the oven and cook them
together from FIVE to ten minutes.
Juicy fruits should not be gathered
right after a rain, for they will have
absorbed too much water. For the same
reason great care must be exercised tc
wash the fruit quickly.
Large fruits. such as apples, must b
boiled in a small amount Of water unit
soft. 1t is best to simmer gently without
stirring. Strain through cheesecloth with
out pressure. II very clear jelly is de
sired, strain through flannel or felt bag
As the hard parts contain the mos
pectin, the cores and skins should Away
be used.
If the juice and sugar Is boiled 81
: rapidly that particles are thrown up OF
r the sides Of the kettle, crystals will form
r When stirred in, these crystals are ap
! to cause the mass to crystalize-

Square neck outlines are used also
in taffeta dresses which are somewhat
exclusive for formal afternoon wear.
The materials chosen for these are solid
dark colors, or brighter changeables in
two and three-color combinations. The
bodices are prim, and the skirts often
full and outstanding by reason Of their
width.
Clusters Of cording above a deep hem,
help to make some taffeta skirts stand
out.
Cording is noticed as a trimming Of
many taffeta dresses. Soft net frills,
undersleeves, or small puffs below tight
elbow sleeve, and again narrow combine
to set of these very stylish costumes

DAINTY" is time-worn word to
- apply to lingerie, but there is no
new way, that is more effective,
Of describing the delightful underthings
that have been planned for particular
women.
A chemise Of rare charm that be-
comes a combination by the fastening
Of a flap at the lower edge, attracts
special attention because it fits in so
well with the purpose Of the straight
line frock. For the model pictured,
nainsook, batiste, handkerchief linen
or silk may be used. Each season
augments the list Of soft, sheer materials
that can be fashioned into lingerie,
without resorting to expensive linens
and glove silks.
Crepe de chine is no longer regarded
expensive because of its elegant ap-
pearance and sturdy wearing qualities.
Unless one can afford to have many
garments, however, it is not advisable

be added; usually a pint of sugar to a
pint Of juice, but if the fruit contains
a high percentage Of sugar, the quantity
of added sugar should be little less.
In season when there has been a great

of Mr.. and Mrs. W. |. Miles, proved
herself real heroine Friday after
noon by rescuing the six months old
child of Mrs. Argie Parker when the
Miles home on south Edwards street

Parker, We're down town and the baby
was asleep in the house. The child
rem were playing in the neighborhood
when the flames were discovered, and
little Maud Miles rushed into the
house and saved the baby
The house was a frame structure
and burned down within a few min
utes A few Of the household goods
were saved. The house was too far
out of the water range for the fire
department to do any effective work,
but the chemical wagon prevented
houses in the neighborhood from
burning.

PROPOSED Gas LINE
FROM AMARILLO FIELD
Ed R. Mayer asks Bonus Of $3.50, 900
to Finance Pipe Line From Tex
as Panhandle to Clovis.

Ed R. Mayer, civil engineer from
Amarillo was in Clovis Tuesday night
and met with the directors of the
Chamber Of Commerce and some of
the business men of the city and dis
cussed the proposition Of piping ma
tural gas into Clovis from the big gas
fields north of Amarillo, Mr.. Mayer
has under advisement plan to run
a gas line from Amarillo to Canyon
and from there would run one line
south to Plainview and another by
way of Hereford and Texico-Farwell
to Clovis. Mr.. Mayer outlined his
plans before the meeting which was
held at the offices Of the Union Mort
gage Company, He says the Anna
rllo field would supply gas for this
entire section for long time to come
and that it is not Impractical to pipe
gas this far. He expects to finance
his proposition with eastern capital
but would ask a bonus Of every town
along the line to help finance the
venture. With the kind Of line Mr..
Mayer hoped to build he said it would
require a bonus of some $250,OO0
from the towns between here and
Hereford, however, he admitted by
decreasing the capaclty of the pipe
lines this amount could be cut down.
No action was taken on the matter at
the meeting Tuesday night as this is
more money than could likely be rails
ed at this time regardless Of how
much good natural gas would do

TAX EXEMPTION CUT
UNDER NEW RULING
Law Passed by Legislature Eliminates
$4,000 Tax Exemption Grant
ed to Ex.Servise Men.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, April 6.-Discov-
cry has been made that the senate
committee substitute for house bill
No. 100, which is the new revenue
code, passed by the last Legislature,
repeals the exemption Of $4,000 that
had been granted to all former service
men. Judge Reed HOLMAN, of the
first district court, had ordered thar
assessors in the district allow the ex-
emption. 1t will be necessary now to
rescind that order. Nothing can be
done to remedy the mistake until the
next session Of the legislature, which
probably will not be convened until
February, 1922.
