plain or ornamented only with metal

in many colors, tan, mode, gray, green

will carry over for summer. Practical
purses that may be carried with the

are made of fine grain costly leather,
lined with suede or MORE, of Russian

useful facts to have on record, when
one is canning the same fruit again
or giving directions to some one else.
The bureau OF home economics of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture suggests labelling all jars and
cans with neatly printed or written
label, giving such information as the
above and any further statements
deemed necessary.
Labels may either be purchased or
made at home by cutting plain paper
in pieces about / by 2 inches they
should be pasted on the jars at uni
form distance from the bottom.
Handle With Care.
Fruit, vegetables, and other canned
goods should not only be carefully put
up and labeled, but they should also
be carefully stored. This means that
a clean, cool, dark place should be
provided A cupboard with strong,
rather shallow shelves and close-fit-
ting doors will protect the products
from dust, dirt and light. If the
shelves are wide enough to hold only
a row, or at the most two rows Of
cans, 1t will be easy to find any par
ticular can. For the first week each
lot should be stored by itself in order
to facilitate watching for signs Of
spoilage.
With a closed storage cupboard it
will not be necessary to wrap glass
jars Of Strawberries, peas, and other
fruits and vegetables that fade when
exposed to the light.

Although at the time of canning one
thinks every jar of jelly, jam, or

Mark Cans and Jars.
Another point is to mark all cans
and Jars so that every Jar in each
lot can be identified in case spoilage
develops in any of the jars. Jars
should be kept under observation at
room temperature for week, and
any showing signs of spoilage dis

The Hatpin Is Ornamental

The vogue of hatpins, the small,
ornamental pins that serve as the
chief, often the only, trimming on the
sports and plain street hats, contin-
ues. There are among these some nov
elites in which the ornaments are of
straw or wool or of ribbon tightly
rolled into balls. These are equally
attractive on the little cloth, ribbon
or straw hats. newest among the
spring styles in millinery. The jeweled
pins suitable for the dressier hats are

latest being studded solidly with rhine

here for he first time in more than 20
yeers, finds development in Porto Rico
since he left in 1904 is very marked and
agreeably surprising. He notices ad-

in the appearance of cities and towns

new public buildings, schools and pub

comment, as well as the appearance Of

He sees greater understanding and
more cooperation between The Porto
