it is quite true that the pumpkin

Favored Relish

Picking and relish making are
taking first place in many homes
where the canning of vegetables
used to be the most important late
summer occupation. The greater
acces ssh lily of commercially
canned goods, and their low cost
have made home canning less Of
a necessity than it used to be even
10 years ago.
The excess farm and garden
products can be put to use in many
varieties of tasty condiments
which will add pleasure to winter
meals. Because they utilize such
plentiful and inexpensive items as
cabbage, tomatoes and onions
they can be made at little expense.
The spices give them a rich
aromatic flavor that combines
equally we'll with ordinary or I'm
usual items of the daily menu.

Inviting
Furniture

In general, heavy pieces of furni-
ture should not be used in the
window group, nor should be
found all light pieces in that diff
cult spot. The contrast of warmth
and softness Of upholstery with
hard wood; of color and pattern
with dark plain surfaces, is needed
to make satisfactory picture.
The Queen Anne sofa is a favor
ite for the window group, as it is
light and graceful in design. With
a low Queen Anne coffee table
before it, and a pair of arm
chairs, it may easily prove the
most inviting and most decorative
spot in the room.
In fact, any of the period sofas
in which cuINes predominant, Vic
torian walnut, Louis Quinze or
French Provincial, for instance,
will make an interesting pattern
before window, or placed at right
angles to the fireplace, where the
light picks up the rich old wood
tones and makes lovely silhouette
of the piece.
