MUSKRAT HIDES
Make Hudson Stables For Miladles
Fine FurS

Catching muskrats for their furs
has been a profitable business in
South Jersey and in Delaware. In
Delaware, trapping has been better
this year than for some years, which
is due to the warm weather with no
snow or ice. The catches have been
larger than for some time, although
the price paid by the dealers for the
hides doesn't begin to approach the
wartime prices, when they sold for
as high as 81 to So each.
The early fall hides sell at about
81 .25, but the furs that r being
caught this season are bringing S1.40
with the probability of going as high
as S1.5O. The furs taken in the early
part of the season are as good as the
hides taken later. The skins of the
fall hides are black under the fur and
the coat is thin. The hides taken in
January and February are blood-red
under the skin and the fur is thicker
and in better condition.
The mid-winter furs will also stand
the chemical test to which they are
submitted in the tanning operation.
Muskrat trapping is one of the
principal industries on the meadows
bordering Delaware river and bay
during the winter months. They
breed in the island marshes where
there is no tide to any extent and
afford a better growth of plants and
herbs for the rats to feed upon.
The season closes on the tide-water
marshes on March 10, in Delaware.
while inland marsh trappers are al
I lowed until March 20.
1t is estimated that $500 furs are
taken weekly by trappers who work
the marshes within a radius of a mile
of Delaware City. Most of the local
trappers sell their hides to dealers.
Others keep their catch until the
close of the season, when they sell
their hides in bulk.

FAITH

Are you disconnected and unhappyY Are you lonely2 Is it
friends you Gravel Does social life appeal to you, but do you
seem unable to fit into 1t? Perhaps you are a business woman,
but you are not making a success of your business life. Or
You are a married woman and you are not making a success OF
your married life.
Something is wrong you know, but what is it, you ask
yourself over and over again as you try to puzzle a way out of
your predicament.
Have you ever thought about faith-the power of faith to
help you get from life what you want? Faith in yourself,
faith in your loved ones, faith in your fellows, and faith in
your business, whether it be the business of home making or
daily toll in an office or store.
It was To1stoi who said, Faith is the force of lhe." Cant
you see the supreme wisdom in that thought? To be a success
socially isn't it more assurance, confidence, faith in yourself
that you needY To make a success of your business life must
you not have more faith, in your business ability? And what
is a greater force in binding the heart of a loved one to you
than faith in that loved one? People usually measure
up to the standard we set for them. Keep that standard high
both for yourself and others by cultivating faith.
That is a hard thing to do, you say. Of course it is.
Are not all worth while things hard to do? But exert your
will power to overcome your inferiority complex, and cast out
the demon Of doubt that pursues you. 1t can be done. Try it.

trimming used on the cuffs. An
other gives you a Partisan version
of pockets, while the other uses its
own material tucked to create the
desired effect of sm~artness.
Plenty of Color
These costume blouses usually
make no attempt TO carry out the
color of the suit. They come in
high colors or in white, sand, biege
or gray. The all-over embroidered
blouse is frequently seen, as are the
notifications of the peasant blouse.
The alternative of the costume
blouse is the beautiful lingerie blouse
of white dimity or wolfe. made en-
tirely by hand, with frills or a fancy
collar to be worn outside the jacket.
The blouse of white crepe de chine
with hand hemstitching and the
monogram either in white or black
or in a pastel shade is also excellent
style and may be worn outside or
inside the skirt.
Tiny bouquets of French flowers
or fancy belts are frequently worn
with these suits and as the fall comes
on, the fur neckpiece is added. This
need not be the inevitable fox. but
may be a choker of mole, ermine,
caracul or any short-haired fur,
made after the attractive pattern of
the M sketched.

Sister Mary Tells
How To Use Sweet
Cider AS Seasoning

Sweet cider conjures up thoughts
of roaring fires and roasted nuts and
county fairs and good times gener-
ally, but the cook will find a well
come change in s%easonings In this
homely beverage.
Our grandmothers considered boil
ed cider indispensable in their mince-
meat, ham was baked in cider, ap-
pies were boiled in cider and now
we use cider in a delicious salad.
OF course there's nothing like pure
elder vinegar for pickles, the purer
the better, and good salad dressing
depends on the richness and sharp
ness of the vinegar.
Boiled cider is put on the market
by several business houses, but II
you can make your own cider why
not boil some? Cider for boiling
must be very sweet. Just fresh from
the press.
To make boiled cider fill a pre-
serving kettle with sweet cider. AS
it boils away add more cider. Keep
replenishing until the whole kettle
of cider begins to thicken and be-
come sirup-y.
Continue boiling without adding
more cider and reduce one-half. Pour
into sterilized cans and seal. Boiled
cider should be almost as thick as
molasses. One cup of boiled cider
will season three mince pies. Even
in you make your mincemeat in the
modern fashion using candied fruits
and nuts rather than beef heart and
suet and raisins and apples you will
like the taste of the boiled cider in
this year of 1922 :.
Ham Baked in Cider
A whole ham or a three-inch slice
of ham can be used for baking. A
small family will find the slice pref
cradle to a larger amount.
One slice ham cut three inches
thick, " cup sweet cider, u tea
spoon mustard, / tablespoon brown
Eugar, Il teaspoon pepper, whole
cloves, stick cinnamon.
Pour boiling water over ham and
let stand Is minutes. Drain and
wipe dry. Mix mustard thoroughly
with brown sugar and rub well into
ham. Stick cloves into the fat.
Sprinkle over pepper and lay a few
pieces of stick cinnamon over top.
Put meat into rooster and add cider.
Bake two hours in a moderate oven.
For the last half hour of baking
watch closely Is the cider and brown
sugar will burn easily when greatly
reduced.
If a whole or half a ham is used
increase ingredients In proportion of
the given ingredients for three
pounds of meat.
Cider Salad
One tablespoon granulated gelatin,
Il cup cold water, IN cups sweet
cider, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, "a
teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, 6
whole cloves, u cup nut meats, Y
cup minced celery, II cup white
grapes, lettuce, salad dressing.
Soften gelatin in boiling water.
Add sugar, salt and cloves to cider
and bring to the boiling point. Strain
over gelatin. Stir until dissolved and
add lemon juice. When beginning to
set add nuts, celery and grapes,
skinned and seeded. Turn into mold
and let stand until firm and chilled.
Serve on a bed of lettuce with cream
salad dressing.

YOUR BABY AND MINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED
The First Nursing

Six hours after the baby is born
he may be put to the breast for the
first nursing. The first secretion Of
the breast is not milk, but a fluid
called colostrum, which is both nour-
ishing and laxative and rids the
baby's bowels OF the black tar-like
meeonium, present at birth.
This first nursing has another
function. By reason of it, the
mothers uterus is made to contract.
and this contraction lessons the dan
ger of hemorrhage. The baby need
not be nursed oftener thG~l every six
hours until the true milk m In.
which should be on the third day.
Many doctors contend that If baby
were only fed this often, and given
warm water at other times, no collie
would develop. Babies do not need
food at this period and are better
off without it.
Sometimes, because of the shape
of the nipple, babies T slow to
take hold" A drop of milk ex-
pressed from the breast may result
in the baby finding out just what the
whole thing is about, and he will
grasp it without so much coaxing,
and resultant strain on the mother.

PARIS.-No matter how small or
how large her wardrobe, the French
woman always has one plain suit of
blue or black wool.
You can't call it a tailormade, for
it isn't. The Parisienne never is
tailormade, she always puts some
little feminine touch to her costume
that removes it from the uniform
class. but this suit is as near as she
ever gets to severity.
This aso the ~favorite suit is the
straight jacket, bloused by a narrow
belt just below the hips, with a per-
fectly straight and very narrow skirt.
With this she wears the fascinat-
ing blouses, vestees and accessories
for which she is SO justly celebrated.
It's Very Simple
The fashionable blouse, as you
will notice by these very Parisienne
little sketches, is simplicity itself and
has no intention of betraying the
whereabouts of the waistline or vio-
'lating the straight-line silhouette
any more than the one-piece frock
has.
And you can readily see that with
out the Jacket, these blouses give the
effect of a frock of two materials
rather than just a blouse and skirt.

A sweetly tragic story, like a frag-
ment of an old love song, is the story
of the mother of Edward Burne-
Jones, the great English painter
whose work is chiefly characterized
by a spirit of great delicacy, fragil-
ity and usefulness. Although he
never knew his mother, it seems as
though her spirit lowered behind his
brush, and gave something of her
quality to everything he painted.
Her name was Elizabeth Coley.
and she had married his father when
she was hardly more than a girl, af-
ter a courtship which did not meet
the approval of her parents. But
their love was strong enough to sur
mount all obstacles, and the mar
riage took place. Their three years
together were three years of perfect
happiness in each other, marred only
by the death at birth of a daughter.
Consequently, when they discovered
there vas another baby coming. their
Joy was unbounded. They felt that
