Youth Is Emphasized
in Riddles Garments

Just because their years are few in
number let no one for moment sup
pose that our youngest members of so
ciety do not take very definite stand
in the matter Of clothes. And she is
indeed a clever mother who adroitly
manages to dress her small daughter
with good taste and appropriateness
and apparently gives in to the likes
and dislikes of a determined small
person Of the feminine gender.
Happily the rule of simplicity is the
one to follow in choosing children's
clothes. But for all their extreme
simplicity it is really amazing how
very varied and very individual are
the modes for the modern child
In the first place there is the mat
ter of color Every shade that APP
pears in grown-up costumes is also
used for diminutive frocks and coats,
but, even the most, intense shades are
so cleverly handled that youth is en-
phasized.

silver tissue dinner dress. 1t is the
only trimming, and the material is ar
ranged in long, straight panels from
the shallow neckline to the hem,
caught at the low waistline by an
Egyptian scarf of pearl, silver and dfa-
mantle beaded gauze, fastened in front
by an Egyptian motif and hanging to
the floor.
There is no hip trimming on any
of the new models. The line from
shoulder to ankle is as straight as pos
sible and what fullness is necessary is
obtained by inverted plaits or Sits of
the underslip over which the circular
tunic or lace-founced outer skirt slip
gracefully.
This circular model is more used
than was first expected But the flare
is so slight that on first sight the gown
appears to be straight cut. It is only
at the edge of the founce that the
sweep is noticeable, and here it is ac-
centuated by rolls of fur or plated
velvet bands.

keepers discovered long ago that the
Juice of various other fruits would
make good jelly If combined with
either Of these. But for several rea-
sons this practice is not always desir-
able. The United States Department
of Agriculture has therefore perfected
q home method of making concen-
trated pectin sirups that can be kept
on hand for use at any time and added
in small quantities to many kinds of
fruit juices to insure success in jelly
making.
Firm, hard, tart apples, underripe
rather than overripe, have been found
excellent for making this pectin sirup.
Even apples of insipid flavor such as
Ben Davis, may be used, and the fruits
need not be perfect if sound and un-
tainted.
Wash and scrub the apples thorough
", and without pairing or coring them,
cut them in thin slices.
Recipe for Apple Pectln sirup.
pounds of apples Az pints of water
Slice the apples thin; this is better
than passing them through a meat
grinder, since finely ground apples
narken very quickly, and impart an
unattractive color to the pectin ex-
tract. Place In granite saucepan
large enough so that the whole mass
can be brought quickly to boiling
Cover the pan and boil the mixture
rapidly for twenty minutes. Rapid
boiling is recommended because 1t
seems to preserve color and flavor bet
ter than long, slow boiling, and ex-
tracts the pectin with less danger OF
decomposing it through overheating.
When the boiling is finished, strain
the mass through four thicknesses OF

cheesecloth until the juice ceases to
drip. 1t is not advisable to squeeze
the bag; but the pomace, or pulp, may
be lightly pressed with spoon toward
the end of the dripping period, to force
the flow of the last drops of the juice.
When dripping is complete, remove
the pomace from the bag, weigh or
measure it, return it to the saucepan,
and add an equal quantity of water.
Boil again for twenty minutes, and
strain The first two extractiOns
should together amount to about three
quarts Mix them together in wide
granite pan, such as dish pan large
enough so that the liquid will not be
more than two inches deep. Heat rap
idly until the liquid is reduced to one
fourth of its original volume, or to
about Ia pints; this usually requires
from 80 to 45 minutes. The concentra-
ton should be carried on rapidly,
since it is easy to injure the pectin If
the boiling process continues for sew
eral hours.
The concentrated juice is thick
sirupy liquid which usually has
strong apple flavor; it's color varies
from dark to light reddish brown ac-
cording to the kind of apples used, the
color of their skins, and the prompt
ness with which the material has been
handled. When cold, there is heavy
sediment, which contains considerable
pectin.
Pectin strip rightly used improves
the quality of jelly. 1t should there
fore be used with rich full-favored
juices that lack pectin and could not
otherwise be made into jelly success
fully. Pectin strip should never be
used to conceal the inferiority of wa
tered juices.
Jellies Of excellent texture can be
made from the juice Of strawberries,
black or red raspberries, ripe grapes,
sweet non-acid plums, ripe ounces,
rhubarb, and other fruits, by combin-
ing this pectin strip in the proportion
of four tablespoonfuls to one cupful OF
the fruit juice. The jelly is made IN
the usual way, except that the pectin
strip is added to the hot strained
Juice after the sugar has been dis
solved in it and just as It begins to

The up-to-date home jelly maker
knows that fruit juices must contain
acid, sugar, and pectin in the right
proportions in order to make good jel-
lies. Lemon or other sour fruit juice,
she has found, can be added to give
acid If needed, and the right proper
ton of sugar is fairly easy to deter
mine, but how to supply pectin is
often a serious difficulty. Yet it is
frequently the case that failures in
jelly making are the result of too low
a proportion Of pectin in the fruit

Some fruits and vegetables are very
rich in pectin, particularly when slight
ly underripe, while others contain only
a trace or none at all. Yet some of

making. Apples and currants are
among the pectin-rich fruits, and house

GOOD IDEA FOR PIN MONEY

Flowers and Cones.

Dried winter bouquets have been
more and more used within the past
few years, and from Bee county,
Texas. the home demonstration agent
reports to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture that great deal
of work has been done in tinting wild

this purpose. Here is an idea for pin
money and also for the skillful-fngered
woman to brighten up her home when
fresh cut flowers are nor available.
From Mississippi come large flowers
resembling dahlias, made Of parts OF
pine cones, tinted deep red, lavender,
and other dahlia colors, with enamel
paint. These are combined with dried
sprays of bamboo leaves, to make an
effective filing for table vase or hall

Arranging Things to
Make Home Attractive

Heavens first law may be met in
the placing of the furniture of room
by keeping in mind the simple princi-
pie that there must be a dominant
note in this just as there is in music.
All phases of interior decoration are
controlled by this principle. Without
its application there is the worst kind
Of disorder, although we may become
so careless with ourselves and so
hardened in our sensibilities that we
are totally unaware Of the jargon we
speak every day in our homes.
The piano or the fireplace is usually
the dominant note in the furnishing
of the living-room. If you have both
in a rectangular room the fireplace
takes precedence over the piano. If
there is an alcove in your room the
piano may easily be given the promi-
nence 1t deserves. With fireplace and
piano both in the room 1t is generally
best to place the piano opposite the
fireplace if possible. This makes a
good balance In any event both
should not be on one side Of the room
unless it is the inward side. Even
there 1t is not usually quite satisfac-
tory.
The table should be against the wall.
It looks well arranged In group with
picture and chair. The picture
should be of a character that will
look well with flowers. This also re-
ouirss that it be placed high enough
to avoid being hidden in part by any
decoration that may be placed on the
table. BY all means have couch
that is comfortable both to sit on and
to lie on. It should be so placed that
the head receives sufficient light dur
ing the day and after sunset for any
one to read without injury to his eyes.
