CORN! HOW TO CAN AND DRY. TIT.
 Corn should be canned the day it Is gathered before any of the natural sweetness is lost
 When cutting the kernels from the cob be careful not to cut too deeply.
 To Can Corn.
 Remove husk and silk from ca. 5 of corn. Put into a large kettle oe boiling water and let boil 10 minutes. Take from boiling water and put i'm nediately into cold water. Let stand in the cold bath just one minute. Cut off of the cob. Pack loosely in jars. Add 1 tablespoonful of salt and 1 tea- spoonful of sugar to each quart ja-- Fill with boiling water and half sea. r. screw top Mason jars are used turn the lid on as far as it will go, usiiis the thumb and fourth finger. Then give the lid a half turn back. If the corn is packed loosely in the jars the cans should be filled full. But if packed tightly allow an inch for ex- pansion during processing. Put half sealed jars: into the hot water bath. The water should cover the jars at least two inches. Put cover on boil-r and boil three hours. Count the time from the minute boiling begins. The jars will cool the water and stop it~ boiling when they are put in. At the end of three hours remove from the polling water and finish sealing. Cool Us quickly as possible, keeping the jars from a draft. The work shoul1 l 1 be done quickly and the corn not al | lowed to stand long between steps. I'c not try to do too large a quan- ! tiIy at one time.
 To Dry Corn.
 Dried corn has sweet nutty taste | it's impossible to find in canned corn. After corn is carefully dried there is 1 never any danger of it's not keeping.

 Through the door of the telephone booth in the drug store at Bridge hampton 1 could see Dicky pressing the receiver up and down as he re- iterated his impatient call. And when he finally emitted an impatient, s"What's that?" and put the receiver on it's hook with a bang. I was not Surprised to hear him say as he came breathless and perspiring out of the booth:
 They don't answer! Now, what's to be done?"
 s'I suppose they've all gone into town" I suggested. You know Mrs. Durkee loves nothing better than a trip into New York, no matter what the thermometer is, and she's prob ably taken Edith and Leila with her. ' "Well, I wish she'd have been a little less of salamander today .'' Dicky declared. How the dickens are we going to find out anything about what Jim and Katie meant?"
 we can't, that's all," I returned philosophically. We will have to meet all three traN1s tomorrow so as to be sure not to miss them. Can you imagine Katie if they landed out here and she didn't see a familiar face at the train?'' E "Oh ! I imagine Jim would take care of her hysteria and the situa- ton all right Dicky returned care lessly.
 "Pouf .'' I retorted, snapping my fingers. According to Katie's ideas Jim is about as much use in an em- ergency as a 3-days-old kitten would be. Of course, it's an unjust view but you know Katie.''

DAILY FASHION SERVICE THE ''NIPPY" FALL TROTTEUR
BY MARIAN HALE

BY MARIAN HALE
 New York, Aug. 2.-It's nippy but it's nice.
 That is, of course, if YOU have a fig ure adapted to nippiness.
 Just glimpse the new silhouette of the approaching fall trotteur.
 Of course, it's from Paris and this particular model was made by a mans tailor.
 For is it not-as we say in France that the American woman likes mas cullne tailored effects in her clothes? And does not that gay Farce just adore pleasing the American woman?
 Well-be that as it may-heres the ne" fall model for smart walking suit.
 It IS of gray worsted with black binding on collar, pockets and cuffs. The skirt is nine inches from the ground and the coat, nipped in at the waist, so as to shame the very sassiest beau brummel flares out with no com promise over the hips.
 Or course, it's no costume for a fat lady nor yet the lank futuristic damsel. But-oh my-it is good to look at, upon perfect thirty-six.

DISORDER AT GIBBS TALK
HALTED BY CHAPLAIN
Lecture on Ireland by English War
Correspondent Interrupted by
Carnegie Hall Throng.

NEW YORK, February 26.-Rev.
Francis p. Duffy, chaplain of the famous
Irish overseas regiment, the Fighting
G9th.' last night quelled a disturbance
started by Irish sympathizers in Car
negie Hall during a lecture by Sir
Philip Gibbs, English war correspondent.
Sir Philip had chosen for his subject
THE Situation in Ireland, Past, Pres
ent and Future"
The disturbance, which was the third
of it's kind-in the past two weeks, oc-
CURED while the speaker was comparing
the fiourishing condition of Ireland in
1915 to conditions thirty years ago. A
woman in the top gallery screamed
something about "black and tans," and
the noise became general
Father Duffy rose from his seat in the
audience and took the stage after the
hooting and cat-calling had been going
on for about five minutes. In the mean
time Sir Philip stood calmly waiting for
quiet. The army chaplain described
himself as confessed Sim Feiner." but
said that if he wanted to stimulate
British propaganda he would hire some
one to break up his meetings. Those
affecting Irish accent in the galleries,
he said, must be British propagandists
He asked that he be allowed to hear the
completion of the address. Order was
restored within ten minutes, and Sir
Philip resumed his lecture.
