Making Jelly "Jell."

Experimenters in the federal
homo economics Office recently
had quart of grape juice which
refused to become jelly. A small
amount of apple pectin was added
to it and a firm, fine favored
grape jelly was obtained. A
whole shelf full Of jelly failures
we're soon converted into success
esby applying tue new discovery.
Pectin is what makes fruit
."jell." Some fruits, like straw.
berries and pears do not contain
enough pect:n for the operation,
but by the addition Of pectin
from another fruit the jelly is
easily made. Other fruit like
ounce ana grape contain sutti-
ciens pectin, but have juices that
will bear diluting with water if
extra p9ctin is used, so that more
jelly will result. 'Pectin may be
extracted from apples and citrus
fruits and kept ready to add to
other fruits which lack this ingre.
dient. AS fruit ripens it loses
some of its pectin; hence the cuss
tom of using fruit that is not very
ripe, when jelly is to be made.

THE wedding Of Miss Caroline Stew.

Castle Stevens Is the only ancient castle
In the United States. There are other
ancient houses in our country-houses in
New England and Virginia that are In the
ncrhborhood of two hundred years old.
bui there is not one among them that can
properly be called a castle-a grim build
Ing fitted for defense and medieval forms

such vast numbers. Our other old houses
are far removed from the castle standard
OF architecture, the most elaborate being
merely respectable brick mansions, while
the majority are little more than cottages

There Is the "machcolatcd" parapet where

there are the loopholes for the archers.

Castle Stevens has a vast baronial hall

make European feudal residence so fas-
cinating. II is venerable and mossgrown
with age, and around it lies a beautiful
estate. with venerable trees and velvety
lawn, Just like an English ducal private
park.
Workers going to and from their arduous
business on the ferryboats and persons
having business on the New York water
front often stop and look with wonder at
old Castle Stevens, so out OF keeping with
the life they are familiar with. Few OF
them know the building at close quarters.
for it is out of the general current of traffic
and is hidden by trees from the public
roads.
But members of New York fashionable
society are familiar with the ancient castle
and its grounds. They consider IT a great
privilege to be invited to entertainments
within it's venerable moss-grown walls or
to walk among its ancient gardens. Years
ago delightful open-air performance of
Shakespeare's "As You Like It" was given
IN the grounds of Castle Stevens, and so.
ciety said ever afterward that no other
place in New York or its vicinity was so
we'll fitted for such an entertainment.
For all these reasons society feels an
unusual interest in the forthcoming wed.
ding at Castle Point. 1t Is an event that
could not occur anywhere else in America
something akin to the wedding of great
British nobleman and yet peculiarly Ameri.
can, for the Stevenses have played prom.
inent part in American history since Rev.

The Herald is pleased to announce
that the public Of New Britain has
been sufficiently generous to provide

nance of the Fresh Air camp at Bur-
lington for this season, with possibly
a trifling amount left over to be used
next year.
OF the $4,000 winch was deemed
necessary to give the largest posi-
BILE number of children a rejuvenat-
ing, and some of them are sadly in
need Of just that thing despite their
age, and q chance to breathe fresh
air in the clean hills of the New Bri-
tain water shed, $2,97o.50 Is in the
hands of the treasurer of the camp
committee. There will be no need of
further subscriptions to the fund this
year.
Those who gave the money, and it
came in comparatively small amounts,
from many sources, may not be ade-
quately thanked until they realize
just what their generosity Is doing.
Words will not convey to them the
gratitude of the authorities Of the
camp. A demonstration Of the hap
piness caused may best be obtained
by visit to the camp where the
youngsters are regaining their pre-
cariously balanced health and good
spirits. Then realization Of the bene-
fits of the camp will be driven home.
