CURING GREEN AND
RIPE MANGO MELONS
Fruits Respond Quite Read
lily to Action of Brine.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Mango melons are known in differ
ent parts of the country by different
names. such as garden lemons, vine
peach and vegetable orange. When
ripe, this vegetable very much resem-
bles small, spherical lemon. Both
green and ripe mangoes can be cured
by brining, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The green
mangoes are commonly used for max
ing stuffed mangoes," while the ripe
mangoes, after freshening, can be
made into sweet preserves very SINH
lar to those made from watermelon
rind.
To prepare mango melons for brin-
ing, cut off about fifth of the melon
from the stem end, remove the seeds
and then replace the small end and
fasten with wooden toothpicks. Some
times this is done after brining, but
it is best to do it beforehand.
It has been found that these fruits
respond very readily to the action Of
brine. A 40 per cent brine, made by
dissolving one pound of salt in nine
pints of water, is the most satisfac-
tory strength to use for mango mel
ons. AS the brine must be maintained
at the same strength throughout the
entire process Of curing and as juices
which dilute the brine are drawn out
Of all products, it is necessary to add
salt from time to time. A salinome-
ter, which is simple, inexpensive
piece Of apparatus, is the best means
of determining when the brine is of
the required strength. Its use is recon-
mended wherever possible. especially
if any quantity is being handled. Lack
ing salinometer, a simple household
test for 40 per cent brine is to drop a
fresh egg in it. The egg should barely
float, being almost submerged.
A keg or stone jar is satisfactory
for hrining. Kegs must be well washed
with hot water, and soaked overnight
with fresh water to be sure they are
watertight. Round board covers coated
with hot paraffin are used to keep the
vegetable submerged in the brine.
Clean bricks are used as weights. An
other large round wood cover over the
top Of each keg is necessary to keep
out dirt and dust.
At frequent intervals it is necessary
to remove, with large wooden spoon,
the scum which forms on the surface.
This contains wild yeast, molds and
various organisms. Covers and
weights should be washed and the
strength of the brine tested whenever
the scum is being cared for.

Eggs in Tomato Cups

When fresh tomatoes are in season
an attractive way of serving eggs is to
cook them in tomato cups, suggests
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Select the desired number of good
sized tomatoes, allowing one to each
person. Cut off the blossom end, scoop
out the seeds and stand the tomatoes
In a baking pan in the oven until they
are partly cooked. Put half-teaspoon-
ful of butter and busting of salt and
pepper into the bottom of each and
break in che egg. Place In the oven
until the eggs are "set" to The desired
hardness. have ready a round OF

Select Becoming Colors
When Buying Garments

In meeting new cOlorS, there are also
certain principles which can guide you
in determining whether or not they
will be becoming to you, says the Kan
sas City Star. The principle Of the
pleasing contrast to your hair, eyes,
and complexion is one test. The
knowledge of the effect which certain
colors will have on your complexion is
another test.
The second test requires a more in
innate knowledge of color and the eff
fects which certain colors have upon
one another. 1t has been stated that
violet brings out the yellowish tone
in a pale complexion. Now why 8
this so?
The reason has to do with the physl-
cal composition Of our eyes. One does
not need to know the facts, but can
readily convince oneself of the truth
by dropping a spot of purple ink upon
a piece of white paper, and viewing II
steadily for a few moments; gradually
a yellowish ring will form around the
purple spot.
There are a few other simple ex-
oeriments which you can make which
will show you the effect of red, blue
and green tones upon your complexion.
Red reflects a rosy tint upon the
complexion. If you stand in the sha-
dow of a red surface, you will note
the reddish shadow cast upon your
skin and clothing. That's why a sort
red is a friendly color for pale COM
plexion.
Green brings out red in the skin, and
therefore is a bad color for people
with vivid complexion, but a good
color for a pale person, for it brings
color in her face.

Sleeves and Necklines
on New Fall Garments

Sleeve styles for fall wear are
varied, notes a correspondent in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. There is the
long, close-ftting sleeve terminating in
a bishop puff with tight cuff, the
gathered lower part often being OF
contrasting material. Then there Is
the long sleeve with the fullness above
the elbow, something like the old-time
mushroom puff, and the long one
which is wide below the elbow. Then,
of course, there is the frock with no
sleeves at all, but it is usually of an
evening or dinner type.
Necklines, too, are a bit different.
There are high collars which fasten
either at the side or the front, direc-
toire collars with frilled jabots and
scarf collars which are adjusted ia
variety Of ways Necklines are cut
in v or square, or are rounded,
but the bateau Is seldom seen. For
evening, the neckline is lower in the
back than in the front, the decolletage
often extending to the waistline in the
back.
The cape wrap is decidedly in vogue
for evening. Full or Of a three-quar-
ter length, it is developed in both fab
ric and fur. Street wraps are either
straight Of line or show circular
flare or a godet inset.
Actually, while styles in general
seem not to have changed so very
much. there are new features intro
duced which promise decided change
in a few seasons to come.

of Agriculture.
There are several kinds of hominy
on the market, but for the most part
they differ more in the fneness to
which they are ground than in their
food value. The names by which the
different kinds are known often vary
with the locality, SO that it is some
times hard to tell which is referred to.
To prepare hominy by modern
methods the grain is soaked enough
to soften it somewhat. 1t is passed
through a machine called a degermi-
nator, which breaks the grain into
coarse pieces and also lOosens the
bran and germ, which are sifted out
The coarsely broken endosperm then
is dried and sold as hominy. When
left in fairly large pieces it is often
known as samp or pearl hominy !;
when ground to a very coarse meal it
is called hominy grits. Any kind of
hominy may be used like rice, in place
Of a vegetable or for a breakfast ce-
real The hominy grits may also be
used in buildings and cakes.
Special Preparation.
Lye hominy, or hulled corn, is spe-
cial preparation made by soaking the
whole grain in water that contains
I've, or sometimes merely bag Of
wood ashes, until the hulls are loos-
ened or softened, then washing the
hulled grains in clear water and boil
ing. Lye hominy may be made -
home or it may be bought either in
bulk or canned. 1t has distinctive

WORKOUT Crash Towels
Used for Wash Cloths

If crash towels wear out in the mid
die, use the ends for wash cloths, fin
ishing the edges with buttonhole
stitching or narrow, crocheted seal
lops. Ravages of moths on mems
clothing, today, are corrected by shops
that take matching pieces of the ma
terial, ravel them and weave in the
spots SO that they are scarcely dis
cernible and the suit need not be dis
carded Home mending, even the fin
est, can hardly compete with this new
method, which is not unduly expen-
sive, considering the work.

flavor which many enjoy and is used
in the same ways as other coarse
hominy. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture will give direc-
lions for preparing.
Boiled coarse hominy or samp re-
quires long cooking. 1t may be pre-
pared in fireless cooker or in double
boiler on the back of the stove. 1t is
wise to cook large quantity at once,
as it does not spoil easily If kept in
a cool place.
How to Cook Samp.
Soak one cupful coarse hominy In
two cupfuls water for six hours. or
overnight If fireless cooker with
"a radiator is used. add six cupfuls
boiling water and three teaspoonfuls
salt to the soaked hominy and boil
over the fire for ten minutes, put In
the cooker and let 1t remain there for
eight to twelve hours. If there is no
radiator in the cooker. the hominy
should be cooked over the fire for 10
minutes, and it may be necessary to
reheat the hominy and put it back in
the cooker the second time
If the hominy is cooked in double
boiler more water may be needed. or
a cupful of milk may be stirred in
about fifteen minutes before removing
from the fire. 1t takes five or six
hours to cook the coarse h6miny in
double boiler, and about two hours

Yet Look Well.

That simplicity is a difficult achieve
little frock that can be worn all day

dress that is equally at home in the
Office or at lunch at some smart restau-
rant--this is the type. of dress that
seems almost impossible to find, notes
fashion writer in the Kansas City
Star.
An excellent example of the type Of
dress that is equal to almost any occa-
sion is one of black satin. 1t is cut on
the becoming coat dress lines and has
the new surplice neck, line that wom-
en- will welcome joyfully, it is so fiat
tering to most figures.
The surplice collar and the side
opening of the dress are cocoa brown
crepe de chine. The narrow bands
that outline the hem are of the same
material. The scarf, without which
no self-respecting frock is seen nova
days, has bands of the brown crepe
de chine at either end A small cocoa
brown felt hat trimmed with three
small flowers, brown stockings and
black patent leather pumps complete
this costume Of well dressed woman.
Plaid promises to play an important

dresses that are open to the waist with
a plated frill of batiste or organdie
are exceedingly smart. Another little

the vogue of the long coat is assured.
Also that of the moderately short
skirt is confirmed. These suits are
usually made as coat and dress
combination, and this falls offerings
have brought coat, skirt and tunic
suits, but coat-and-dress suits are
more popular. Rows of buttons are
feature of all tailored garments. Be-
sides the usual smooth-faced wooden
cloths, velveteen, in supple weaves, has
been introduced among mediums for
the costume suit, especially when
touches OF fur appear in the trim
ming, as in fur banding on collar and
cuffs. The favored colors are brown,
bottle green and black. Touches of
color appear in embroideries. The
suit at the right differs in it's coat
length, sleeves and less elaborate en-
broidery, from its companion, but is
equally good style.
