- Please give me your rule for
making watermelon rind preserves. !
especially like the kind you make and
have tried to initiate, but il is not
what it should be. Thank you.
A READER.
Select a thick rind il possible to
find one. Cut the thin green rind off
and carefully remove all the pink. Cut
into desired shapes and cover with q
weak solution OF salt water. Next
morning drain this off and cover the
rinds with cold water. Put over the
fire and allow to cook until the rind
is tender. Drain again and measure.
For each measure Of rinds, add an
equal amount of sugar. Place over a
very slow fire until the juice is made.
Stir occasionally. When you see the
juice, stir well ana add one-fourth as
much grated pineapple as you had
rinds. Cook rapidly until the syrup
reaches go degrees. Seal while hot.
If you like a little acid taste, lemon
juice may be added. A bottle of COM
mercial pectin to each two gallons of
preserves will improve the quality Of
the syrup.

the Attic

THE attic can be readily converted
i into a disable, cheerful room. Ii
the space permits, it is quite possible
TO divide it into two parts by means
of wallboard partitions, one OF the
many uses of this valuable material.
The next consideration in reclaim
ing the attic is the floor. Bare boards
are inattractive and repellent. A good
covering of linoleum introduces q feel
ing Of cleanliness and n cheerful note
of color. 1t also shuts out drafts. II
your inoleum is properly cemented
down over felt paper, it will be
smooth, unbroken and watertight; ii
will be easy to clean and il will dull
the sounds from the floors below.
Linoleum can be selected to fit in
with any scheme of decoration and
most attractive patterns in soft, plain
colors nre available. II rugs are used,
they should be of the rag or hooked
varieties which are in keeping with
the quaint simplicity of the attic
nook, and which are not too expen-
sive.
KEEP WALLS LIGHT.
Windows are usually small, so that
it is desirable to keep the walls as
light in color as possible. The wall
paper should be chosen for its inter
esting and cheerful effects. Informal
designs must, however, be selected, as
these adapt themselves best to the
sloping irregular walls. No border
= fricze effects should be attempted
as the uneven ceiling line would make
such a decoration conspicuous and
confusing.
Since the broken wall surface often
do not furnish space TO hang pictures,
a rather fancy wall paper can be used.
Large patterns are too broken up, and
pictorial patterns offer the same OBJ
lection, but all-over floral papers have
an intimate, old-fashioned aspect that
is most appropriate. 1t is best to
use plain textiles with these.
The low effect caused by the broken
lines Of sloping roof and dormer win
dOws may be overcome and a feeling
of height inside the room may be
achieved by using vertical stripes in
the decoration. Wallpaper with a
simple striped pattern seems to in
crease the height of the wall and il
neutralizcs something of the heavy
effect of a low ceiling. Such treat
ment is more restful and permits
greater freedom in use of the other
textiles.
USE PAINT FREELY.
You will find that the furnishing
Of your attic is a special delight. The
experiments you have always wanted
to make can be carried out here in
inexpensive materials with the conf
dence that almost anything you Dc
will be an improvement on the OLE
regime.
Paint applied to some of the old
furniture that has been 'junked' anC
is already reposing there will restore
these pieces to service. There arr
some rooms to which the color i'm
parted by brightly painted furnitur'
IS particularly well suited and thu
attic is one Of these.

Meals Must
Look Cool
To Invite
By HANNAH WING

IfOT weather meals should not only
L 1 taste cool, look cool, and help
to keep the body cool, but they should
be such that the woman who prepared
them can keep cool also. In so far as
possible the days cooking should be
such that it may either be done early
in the morning, prepared in fire
less cooker or Of the quickly cooking
type which requires only few mo-
ments on the gas, electric or oil stove.
Sundays meals should be preparable
on Saturday. An occasional roast Will
help out all the weeks meals, but this
should be cooked by fireless if posi-
Bile. Some women are wise enough to
let the weeks roast bake during the
evening while they enjoy the cool OF
the front porch or a game of bridge
with friends In the cool living room
remote from the heat of the kitchen.
THE PROPER MENU.
A menu which opens with a fruit
cocktail, includes pressed meat, potato
salad or potatoes piquant, head let.
tuce salad with French dressing and
n cold or frozen dessert, requires but
little time or heat in its preparation.
An extra vegetable would be needed
in such a menu IL served frequently,
and this might well be the one hot
dish of the meal. Peas, asparagus or
string beans cook quickly-twenty min
utes at the most is usually sufficient.
Served with butter they are almost no
trouble at all.
For supper, egg or cheese sand
witches with a green pepper or cress
salad. strawberries and cream and iced
chocolate or tea will do very nicely.
FAVORITE DISHES.
Salmon and cucumbers are favorite
in a hot weather menu.
Turning the usual form about and
serving the cucumbers with salmon
dressing is an interesting innovation:
Pare two cucumbers, slice them and
place in the refrigerator. Use one
cupful Of shredded cooked or canned
salmon and be sure and have this cold
also. Slice the cucumbers on crisp
lettuce, sprinkle with finely chopped
onion and salt and pepper. Add the
salmon to stiff mayonnaise dressing
and serve with the salad.
Piquant potatoes are variation OF
the usual potato salad in that they
take the place of hot potatoes. Use
quart of finely diced cold boiled pota.
.oes. Add two tablespoonfuls of chopped
onion. one tablespoonful of chopped
parsley. one-fourth teaspoonful of eel.
ery seed. two tcaspoonfuls of salt, and
teaspoonful of pepper and
paprika. Mix well and add one-fourth
cup of vinegar, stirring gently. Just
before serving heat one cup of cream
and one tablespoon of butter and work
this itno the potatoes with a fork to
avoid breaking.

MRS. OLGA d.
Perhaps you cook it a little too
long. Try adding a sufficient amount
Of salt to the water and cooking the
okra rather rapidly until it is tender,
but not a moment longer. Don't cut
into the seed pods when you remove

TRUE EVERYWHERE

It's true IN AmerlCd US III Insihnuf
in Shanghai, Greenland and the South
Seas that love is the irresistible power
which keeps life spinning happily
along.
Unless you love. you're out Of tune
with the harmony of the entire uni
verse. Girls instinctively realize this,
and so they hope for and dream of
love and marriage. If a girls practical
she tries to attract and interest first
a circle Of young men friends, finally
the enduring love Of the One Man.
But for some inscrutable reason II
now and then happens that a fine
and lovable girl in every way suited
to happy marriage and motherhood
does not wed. Possibly she devoted
her girlhood years to aged parent:
or younger brothers and sisters and Sc
deferred all thought of marriage unit
youth had flown.
Shyness may have impelled her Il
avoid social gatherings that brini
young people together. And of cours'
the World War has caused a tragi,
scarcity of men. Whatever the reason
may be romance now and then passes
by even the sweetest, most attractive
girl.
On the other hand many women
marry, then through no fault of theiI
own lose the love of the dearest mar
of adj.
Girls or women, with romance dead
are likely to feel there is nothing left
to live for. They become bitter or else
crushed. But this is all so needless.
Love that makes the world g.
round" is a bigger, deeper, more uni
versal and impersonal force than the
love Of man and maid or even welded
love. And nothing can deprive us o.
the Joy and power of such love as lonl
as we let it bloom in our hearts.
DON'T DESPAIR.
If the love you counted on TO las
forevermore has failed you in the early
years of your marriage, you can still
find solace, comfort and real happi
ness after the first struggle Of read
justment. You may have your chill
dren who look to you for all that life
can bring them and whom you ow'
so great a responsibility and debt.
Social service, devotion TO children
alienation of cruelty to animals, par
ticipation in worthy charities-anJ
good useful work combined with ar
honest desire to be of service and witt
good will toward your fellow being
will lift you out Of your slough Of
despond. You always can be il yot
will actually be happy as well as use
full.
In order to bring about this prac
teal, sensible adjustment to human
life as it is we must get used to thu
idea that romantic love, while it i:
much, is not all. 1t is not essentia
to roundabout useful, happy life.
But it's equally true that IL any
thing in the world will attract roman
tic love and help you to find the mate
most congenial in every way, 1t is thu
luminous charm and beauty Of disposi
ton which this impersonal good viii
and universal love brings.
So when romance disappoints dom
despair. Turn to bigger. more imper
sonal love and let its magic lift YOU
life to a plane above bitterness ant
uuerulous self-pity. Then you'll b.
happy and useful at all events, ant
in all probability, according to the law
of averages. you'll attract affection o.
the finest kind, since like attracts like
and finally complete your happiness
through successful marriage.
