SATURDAY.

SATURDAY.
| Helen had been decidedly troubled
ever since her father had decided to buy
her new bright red dress such as she
lad described as being part of the winter
| wardrobe Of Alice Briggs. She knew in
stinctively that it was not at all the
kind of dress that her mother would
| have bought for her, even If she had de-
parted from her usual custom and had
purchased a dress in the shops for Helen,
instead of making it herself. But With
ali the strength Of her clothes loving
soul. Helen had longed for the red
furtrimmed dress, SO that although she
had followed her father to the gate yes
| serday morning with the firm intention
oil telling him that he mustn't think OF
| buying that new dress because mother
wouldn't like it, she had let him depart
without saying a word about 1t.
This morning he had said to them at
the breakfast table;
Il shall probably be down a little later
| than usual today because l have a little
shopping to do, so don't wait luncheon
for me-"
But you'd better hurry right home.
father" began Helen feebly, because
you know you nave 10 nelp US make
| those ounce preserves"
Il haven't forgotten that, either" he
replied, and I'll get home Just as early
as possible, but 1 must do the shopping
as its very important"
what are you going to buy, father?'
| inquired Roger.
''0h, that's a little secret of Helen's
and mine said her father merriIy, but
will tell you all about 1t tonight
Again little wave of outlines swept
over Helen and she was on the point of
telling him right then and there that
he mustn't under any consideration luy
the red dress. But again she kept silent
and the opportunity was lost, as Mr.
Hooper changed the subject almost DIM
mediately, and told Roger that until
| he came he was TO help Helen and her
grandmother by peeling as many ounces
as they needed to put up during the
afternoon and then to help them in any
other way he could to the end that as
much Of the fruit as possible would
be preserved and put away in the base
ment closet
Il just want to say, too said Helen,
that there are a lot more ripe grapes
on the front side of the arbor and we
have to use them to make grape Juice
but that is so easy TO do that grandma
says she can make IL by herself on Mon
day morning, if the grapes are all picked
and prepared"
Very well, there is an other job for
you. Roger" answered his father, 'and
l know your mother is very anxious to
have that grape juice. We had to eat
twice as much orange juice last winter.
just because those grapes failed US last
year, as as we didn't buy any fruit for
that purpose. we had no grape juice to
alternate with the orange"
Beside the ounce jelly that they found
| by consulting Mrs. Hooper's recipe was
made practically the same Is all the other
/ tellies that she and the Bride had been
making, they decided TO make some ounce
marmalade according to the following
recipe.
The fruit was to be peeled and the cores
removed and then cut in small pieces. The
same amount in weight OF sugar is then
/ taken, and the fruit placed over the fire
with just enough boiling water TO cover
and for one pound of fruit, one thinly
sliced orange cut in bits is added. %Thc
fruit is then boiled until tender, and the
oranges and ounces skinned from the
liquid. The sugar is then added to the
liquid; it is skinned we'll while boiling
and the pieces of oranges and ounces
are dropped in and the whole is cooked
for fifteen minutes or until the strip Is
like jelly.
They had Just finished half dozen jars
of the delicious preserve when Helen
heard her father calling her from the
front door.
She dashed upstairs and met him in
the hall. He was carrying a paste board
box which he handed to her.
