Dear Folks:
l had a personal letter from one
of my girls the other day and in
it she asked, please write us some
dont's;' l think that it is the thou
shalt nots' we remember longest"
This has set me to thinking and
next week [ am going to try to COM
pile a short list of ''donts" for both
boys and girls, and this will mean
for men and women, too. OF course
you know that l need a lot of
''don'ts," too, and 1 am hoping that
in writing these [ will impress on
my own mind that certain things
just should not be done.
Cordially yours,
q AUNT JULIA.

D. /, Box Is; This recipe reaches
you a little late, but l want you to
have it and even if you do not use
it this season you will have it for
/ next. You can use the following
recipe for either peach or pear pickle
| and can add either race ginger or
pulverized ginger to other spices.
qt of cider vinegar
3.lbs. OF sugar.
After boiling a few minutes add
tablespoon each of cinnamon and
| allspice. Stick a whole Glove in
each pear or peach, drop into the
| boiling syrup and boil until tender.
Put in jars and cover with syrup.
The pickle will not be as dark if the
spices are put in bags and removed
from the syrup, but the single Glove
should be left in the fruit Whole
! crabapples are delicious spiced in
the same way.
