"Oh," responded Bunny. Hes

"He might faint before he

l laughed and said that might

shoe-box in which we had brought
our lunch. cut a square hole in
the box with his penknife, so that
there could be plenty of air for
his new discovery. and put The
newt into it.
Carefully Bobby carried the box
home, and as soon as we reached
our house, he filled a tub with
water and put the newt into it.
That little creature swan around

Bobby threw him some flies he
gobbled them up as if he never
had fly before in his whole life.
We watched our new pet with
great interest, and one day Bobby
came running to me and said:
THAT newt is doing something
very strange. Foxy Grandpa"
| walked out IN the back yard
where the newt was, and peered
down into the tub.
Sure enough, the newt was
wriggling in a most peculiar way.
But when something floated UP
to the surface of the water, we
knew what was going on.
"Why, Foxy Grandpa" gasped
Bobby, as he examined the flimsy
object which floated on the water,
"that is the neWt's skin! Look
he's even pulled his little paws
out. Don't they, look like tiny
fairy gloves?"
And that is just what had hap
pened. Like his relatives, the
toads and frogs, the newt had
shed his skin, and there he was

NvHE woman who makes pre-
= serves OF the first fruits of
summer makes sure that the
greatest delicacies of the season
are on her shelves. Nothing IS
richer than a pineapple preserve
served with a simple sherbet, ice
cream or in a salad or cocktail.
If a food chopper is used these
preserves are easily made. First
scrub the pineapple with a brush.
Slice it; pare the slices, and re-
move the eyes and core. Put the
fruit through a coarse food chop
per, weigh it, and add an equal
amount Of sugar. Mix the sugar
thoroughly with the fruit and let
the mixture stand for twenty-four
hours, stirring it occasionally to
be sure that all the sugar is dis
solved. Seal in clean glass jars
and store in a cool dark place.
Strawberry preserves may be
made in the same manner only
one must be sure that every
berry is crushed in the sugar.
Using a fork and crushing the
berries thoroughly one by one is
the only sure way of success.
When strawberries are cooked
they are likely to lose their color
and float above the syrup. The
following method is the only one
so far tried that gives a rich
heavy preserve of a bright red
color. Follow directions care
fully and do not cook for more
than eight minutes. Use equal
quantities Of sugar and berries.
Mix the berries with the sugar,
gently using a wooden spoon and
taking care not to crush the
fruit. Place the fruit and sugar
directly over the heat and with
out adding water bring to a boil
as quickly as possible, stirring
gently at first to keep the mix
ture from burning. Boil fer just
eight minutes and seal in Jars.

Two cups rhubarb, cut fine:
one lemon, juice and grated rind;
two cups sugar; one-half cup

Combine all the ingredients,
except the nuts, and heat the
mixture until the sugar is dis

ELABORATE
GLOVES
By ALICE LANGELIER,

PARlS.
THAT woman's knowledge
of the mode is shown by her
gloves is one of the Parisian
bourdoir notices.
If this particular part OF the
toilette is neglected all chic may
be spoiled. Color, texture, length,
fit and shape tell as much to
the person versed in smart dress
ing as the different lines Of the
hand tell pa1mist. Richly deco
rated gloves are being shown in
all the smart shops. Some
sparkle with beads, others have
very bright embroidery. A pale.
colored kid glove has seamless
backs, but shows sprays Of flow

gauntlet in cherry and white.

let pattern encrusted on the
hand with bright red leather.
The gloves one sees most at
the races are of suede. chanlois
or beige colored, with hints OF
bois de rose or yellow. Most Of
them are plain slip-ons, worn
wrinkling at the wrist, or in
two or three-button lengths, with
simple stitching on the back.
Some are scalloped, or cut in
simple design.
Champagne and biege seem to
be the most popular, unless one
wears gloves to match the hat
or furs. The smooth kid glove
seems to have been dropped by
fashion, except occasional glace
ones, with short, rIaring cuffs
stitched in. intricate arabesque
patterns with colored thread.
For morning wear suede gloves
are short, or : perhaps with
cuff, but a very small one. The
accepted glove for afternoon
wear is longer and pulled down
loosely over the wrist. 1t is no
longer, the fashion to wear
gloves SO tight that they do not
show a wrinkle; yet, of course,
a certain amount Of fit is nece0
sary to be chic. Silk gloves
today are made in a number of
charming patterns, with flared
cuffs, plain, embroidered, or
faced with a contrasting color.
White kid gloves are the rule
of smartness, but there are
some women who make quite an
effect by always wearing silk
ones. They possess certain ad-
vantages both as to comfort and
appearance, not to mention the

BRINGING HIM

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
II About two years ago 1
met a young man six years my
senior who became very at
tached to me.
At the. same time there was
another girl who admired him
but with whom he would have
nothing to do.
Some time later / went away
for awhile without leaving my
address or bidding him good
bye When returned found
that he was going about stead
lily with this other girl.
Two years have passed, but
1 still think he cares. We
meet at social affairs and all
during the evening I can feel
his eyes upon me.
Although I know it was my
coldness that drove him away,
/ love him, but feel that he
is going farther away. What
can I do to bring him back?
LONESOME.
IT'S much easier to act rudely
i and so lose friends than to
win them back after they're lost.
In this case since two years have
passed without any apology on
your part, there doesn't seem
much you can do.
I suggest, however, that you
write him a friendly note telling
him frankly how sorry you are
If any unintentional rudeness OF
yours offended him on that occa-
sion two years ago. Tell him
you'd like to renew the old friend
illness and ask him to call some
evening. This is all you can do.

But man will ride right over
his wife's pet prejudices and aver

her stalled somewhere indefinitely
without even suspecting that he
is guilty of an offense.
And a woman will dent the fen

a wheel off his independence or
sideswipe the running board Of
his amour propre-and never
realize that she is cramping his

The favorite attitude of lots of
husbands and wives is to lock
wheels in a cross-current effort to
PASS each other-and then sit
and ARGUE about who started
the trouble and who is to blame.
Most couples go to their graves
without reaching decision!
Domestic wrangles, like sand
storms on the desert, may leave
the matrimonial machine intact,
but they are apt TO take off all
the color, paint and romance
And a woman's tears, like rain
storms, may WASH things clean
for time, but they nearly always
start a man skidding.
Lots Of marriages, like lots of
motor trips, end in court, these

FACTS ABOUT TEA SERIES-No. S
What Orange Pekoe' Means

Many buyers of tea have come to ask for
Orange Pekoe' believing that it signifies
fine quality. This is not, however, neces-
Sarily the case. In the trade Orange Pekoe'
is only name given to the first leaf below
the bud or tip on any Indian or Ceylon tea
bush. An Orange Pekoe' leaf grown at a
high elevation usually possesses very fine
favor. If, however, the plant is grown at
a low elevation, it may still be Orange
