quarters of gallon of cider to a gal
lon of peeled and sliced apples will
give a rich product if the apples are
good cookers. Less than half as much
cider as apples is likely to make an
apple sauce rather than a butter
The cooking is continued until the
cider and apples do not separate and
the butter, when cold, is as thick as
apple sauce. About a pound of either
white or brown sugar to a gallon of
butter is the usual proportion, added
when the cooking is about two-thirda
done. More or less or not any sugar
may be used, to suit the taste.
Splicing is also a matter Of taste.
A good flavor will be obtained by add
ing half teaspoonful each of ground
cinnamon, cloves, and allspice for
each gallon of butter, when the cook
ing is finished From two to four tea
spoonfuls of vanilla extract per gallon
improves the quality and adds to the
"snappiness" Of the butter.
Apple Butter Without Cider.
Acid apples of good quality are
best. Enough water is added to the
peeled and sliced apples to make
thin apple sauce, which is then
cooked very slowly over a low fire
for three or four hours The butter
must be stirred often. Brown, rather
than white sugar, is added when the
cooking is two-thirds done pound
OF sugar to a gallon of apple butter
is the usual proportion, and the same
amounts of cinnamon, allspice, cloves
and vanilla mentioned in the last
paragraph may be added when the
butter Is taken from the fire.
1t is possible to keep apple butter in
containers without air-tight covers, by
pouring melted paraffin on top, but
it is wise to use jars with tight-fit-
ting covers and sterilize them in a
hot-water bath for fifteen minutes.

Popular Knitted Frock
Is Simple and Becoming

The vogue for costumes of SUCH
casual chic and so becoming in their
utter simplicity and their suggestion
of youth has brought about vogue
for the hand-knitted frock, slip-on or
two-piece costume. Paris and London
were first in launching these new fash
ions and the cost Of the individual
models was almost prohibitive.
But for once fashion has been kind
to the woman Of limited dress allow
ance. Given pair of knitting needles,
yarn in any of the fashionable colors
and a book of directions, so clearly ex-
planned that even a beginner can fol-
low them, and every woman has with
in her reach any number Of different
costumes that are not only essentially
smart and in perfect taste, but are re-
mafkably practical
Hand-knitted garments fashioned Of
the finest yarns may be cleaned again
and again and their wearing qualities
are well known.

Apple butter is a simple, old-fash-
Toned spiced preserve which is eesily
made at home. 1t affords an excellent
means of using up surplus apples, or
the SOUND parts Of windfall, wormy,
or bruised apples, either in small or
large quantities. The most satisfac-
tory apples for the purpose are those
which have a distinctively rich, tart,
flavor, and good cooking quality, such
as Northern Spy, Rhode Island Green
ing, Tompkins King, and Smokehouse
Summer apples have been found by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture to give as rich and "snappy"
a butter as the fall and winter varie-
ties.
There are two ways Of making APP
pie butter-either with or without
sweet cider. The old idea was that
the cider must be boiled down at least
one-haIf before the apples were add
ed, but this has been found unneces-
sary. Just as good results can be
uncooked cider and boiling rapidly till
finished Small lots may be made in
an hour or less. Large quantities
take longer but may be cooked as
rapidly as possible. The butter must
be watched carefully and stirred fire.
quently to prevent scorching and
sticking to the kettle. An enamel
lined or aluminium preserving kettle
especially kept for cooking fruit is
desirable, though not absolutely neces-
sary. The large iron and copper ket-
ties used on farms in the past for
making apple butter out Of doors are
still in use in many sections of the
country.

the usual proportion is gallon for

Blouses in Many
Winsome Styles
Dainty Affairs Conspicuous
Part of Milady's Fash
ionable Costume.

Blouses have become q conspicuous
part Of the fashionable costume, for
the blouse of this season may be any
one of several styles. There is the
ordinary shirt blouse designed to be
worn with a regulation tailored suit,
sports suit Of one type, or, what
Is more usual, riding habit. These
are simple mannish affairs in white
crepe or tub silk, as a rule, and keep
closely to the regulation shirt lines.
Then there is the equally simple tail
ored over-blouse graduated from the
MILDLY. That, too, Is made of practical
wash silk, of the crepe, twill or jap
variety and keeps the straight line to
the hips. This sort of over-blouse has
been an essential of the fashionable
wardrobe since the two-piece suit came
In and since separate skirts, the plain
wrap-around and the plated skirt, have
been popular. Each of these skirts re-
quires, of course. an over-blouse and a
separate coat.
One very attractive sport frock is of
silk faille and hts novel throw scarf
which circles about the neck and is
drawn through Sits in the back of the
blouse. The border of the scarf
matches the striped flannel banding
at the bottom of the blouse.
Blouses for more elaborate costumes
attain the dignity of tunics. They are
shown in crepe. tucked, embroidered or
beaded; in wolfe, elaborated with

BUDGETING IDEA IS
GROWING RAPIDLY
Plan Being Applied in
Spending Time and Money.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
The budget idea is growing. Not
alone in government and commercial
organizations is the wisdom of the
budget system of running business be-
ing more clearly shown each year.
The Twentieth century homemaker is
also applying the budget plan to the
spending of both time and money in
her household, says the bureau of home
economics of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. Only thus
can she be sure that ends will meet
at the end of the year.
Here are the five important but not
difficult steps for the homemaker in
the scheduling OF housewSrk:
List all your regular daily activi-
ties, then all the regular tasks that
do not come every day.
Estimate the usual time required for
each of these regular tasks. If it is
difficult TO make such an estimate for
some task, jot down the time required
the next time you do 1t and use this
as the basis OF your estimate. The
bureau of home economics of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, will send blank for such
time record to any homemaker re
queSting it.
From these lists, distribute the tasks
that do not come every day to certain
IF hn In oh,
make the week run smoothly and to
give the best possible arrangement Of
leisure time. For example, Monday
may include the changing of bed linen,
the collection of laundry, some market
Ing, and perhaps some of the cooking
for the next two days; Tuesday, the
washing; Wednesday, the ironing !;
Thursday, the mending, some market
ing, and an outing or meeting; and
Friday and Saturday, the cleaning
and extra baking Jobs which do not
need to be done every week, as
the washing of windows or special
cleaning Of pots and pans, can be
scheduled for the same time, so that
some of them can be attended to each
week.
AS the fourth STEP list the jobs for
each day in the order In which they
are to be done, placing the time of
starting and finishing before each
item. This will require some juggling
Of items in order that such fixed ones
as preparing and serving meals will
come at the proper times. Many
hOmemakers find it convenient to have
the schedule for each day on a sep
arate sheet or card with a hole
punched in the top in order that it
may be hung up in conspicuous place
before the days work starts.

silE-will appeal to the home dress
maker because Of its simple styling.
A short kimono heightened by skirt,
gathered and set on with a piping,
presents no difficulties even to the
beginner in home sewing. Bias bands
of figured silk provide border and
band trimming in the skirt, while
sleeves and collar are finished with
bands of plain silk. The ties at the
side might be either of ribbon or OF
the plain silk. The model suggests
fine way to use two out-of-style frocks
converted into negligee like that pic
tured, and be good for much service
and pleasure. Other fabrics than silk

EXOTIC STYLES IN NEGLIGEES;
OUTFITTING THE YOUNGER SET

TN THE realm of colorrul and daring
fabrics and exotic styles negligees
are pioneers, for women have always
allowed themselves freedom Of choice
In these within-dOors garments. A
little journey in the shops reveals
greater extremes then ever in brill
lance of colors, variety of styles and
fabrlcs-and sources of inspiration in
design. The boldest and most splendid
patterns in printed silks have been APP
propriated for negligees and 1t takes
a second look sometimes to determine
whether gorgeous garment is neg
ligee or an opera coat.
In nearly all negligees of printed
silk-whatever the style-it is mote
worthy that plain silk is used in
