AN/ the influence Of . bad
Y Y woman over a man. We
have all seen everything
that Is fine, generous and idealistic
in q man wither and die under the In
fiuence Of . narrow. selfish, stinsy
woman, Is flower does under An
August sun. We have seen women
turn honest men into thieves; sober
men into drunkards; gentle men into
murderers, and 20 the most earnest
advice We give to our sons Is to beware
the scarlet woman As the greatest
danger that can ever threaten them.
But, curiously enough, we never
think of the harm that the influence
Of good" women does; yet that ruins
more men, brings about more unhappi-
ness and turns more men into failures
than all the combined gold-diggers,
temptresses and vamps have ever
effected. Because, for one thing, the
good" woman's evil intentions against
. man are 20 camouflaged by love that
he does not recognize them for what
they are and hence has no chance to
escape. For another thing, no other
human being is 80 relentless and tire
less in pursuit Of her purpose, as the
good" woman who is determined to
dominate man. She is like the con-
tinual drop of water that wears away
the hardest stone. And. most Of all,
she counts her evil doings unto herself
for Righteousness and never doubts
that she Il doing the thing she does
for the good Of her victim.

fourths to one part Of sugar for each
part Of fruit.
\ + 4
"TF YOU are working with . very
soft, easily crushed fruit, such as
peaches, very juicy plums or berries,
use little or no water from the start.
The heavy sirup will make the fruit
more firm, helping to hold its shape.
For hard or firm fruits such as
apples, late pears and ounces, add
enough water at the start to form
very thin sirup Then the fruit will be
cooked to tenderness before the sirup
becomes heavy by evaporation, and
will absorb more Of the sweetness. II
ounces are steamed or precooked in
water, much OF the flavor Is lost and
the fruit is inclined to become mushy.
Whenever possible shorten the time
Of cooking, and q brighter color and
richer flavor will be your reward. The
aim to shorten the cooking time was
the inspiration for the idea of allow
ing fruit to stand in the sugar for
several hours before cooking. The
sugar draws out fruit juices, 20 1t
isn't necessary to add water which
must be boiled on later.
TOO much cooking will give your
preserves an ugly, brown cast and
strong flavor. Recipes which say
cook until thick sometimes mean cook
until noticeably thickened, for the
sirup stiffens decidedly as it cools.
"TF THE preserver is using q pectin-
rich fruit such as plums, apples
or grapes, the jelly test will tell
when it's time to remove the preserves
from the fire. If you tried the test
for your currant jelly this year you'll
be right in practice. If not, stop the
cooking when the sirup no longer
runs off the spoon in stream, but
sheets" and breaks into two distinct
drops.
When using fruits lacking in tart
ness, the flavor and consistency Of
the preserves Is improved by the ad-
dition of lemon juice during the last
few moments of cooking. The acid
helps to stiffen the sirup or make a
firmer 'jell.'
For jams, fruit buffers, conserves,
and sometimes preserves and MARINA
ladies', little salt helps develop, or
round out, the flavor. Usually about
one-fourth teaspoon Of salt Is used
for three or four pounds Of fruit

ems to establish another record. This
is good news for the housewives who
still like to do their own preserving
and canning, for it means high quality
and low cost, as a general rule. The
Bureau Of Home Economics Of the U.
S. Department Of Agriculture takes
coenizance OF this fact in its release
for today: which also gives some help
full tips on putting up" other seasonal
fruits:
For preserving, most pears hold
their shape without the slightest
dificulty. Their delicate flavor Is not
hidden, but improved, by the addition
OF tart lemon slices and bit Of pre-
served ginger. Few fruits make
more delightful butter than pear, es-
pecially when its distinctive flavor has
been enlivened by small quantities of
spice and a generous dose Of lemon
juice. Even with lemon juice added,
pears have so much natural sweetness
that they require less sugar than most
other fruits.
TN August and September the pop
ular Bartlett pears are at their best.
But many prefer the late. firm Kief-
fer pears for preserves. If you want
pears just right for preserving or
canning-uniformly yellow, firm and
yet Juicy and soft to the touch-se-
lect fully developed pears that are
still green and hard. Then ripen
your own. Wrap each pear in paper
and put them away in a dry, cool
cellar for about two weeks. A come
and get me- pear aroma will warn
you when preserving time is near.
Watch your pears closely. for they
ripen-and then decay-with sur
prtsing speed.
"Of first importance among pre-
serving rules is the one which says
weigh, rather than measure the fruit.
You will want 1t to be whole. or cut IN
pieces with some resemblance to the
original fruit, and keep that way. 1t

Queries on
Weddings
An Organist Wears
His Choir Gown at
Church Service.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: D What are
the duties Of flower girl? CD
Must the organist, who Is . man in
this case, wear the same kind Of suit
as that worn by the men in the we'd
ding? Or may he wear the regular
choir gown while playing for this
wedding7 He Is invited to the recep-
ton at the house after the ceremony,
and would like to know what to wear.
Answer-The duties Of q flower girl
are TO walk in the procession just
ahead Of the bride, to stand where
she has been told during the cere-
mony, to walk again in the recession
al. Occasionally she leads the march
and scatters petals as she goes. But
most people think the effect prettiest
when the flower girl carries . basket
of decoratively arranged flowers. She
should walk demurely, stand quietly.
and that is all. (2) The organist
wears his choir gown at the service
In church. Later at the reception
he of course wears the same type of
clothes that all the other men will
be wearing. At formal wedding q
cutaway coat and striped trousers,
etc. Or, If he hasn't cutaway and
striped trousers, then he wears dark
suit, a starched turned down collar
COR one that looks starched) and q
plain tie. If the wedding is in the
country he could suitably wear white
or gray flannel trousers and blue
coat.
DEAR MRS. POST: My sister and
- I are both to be bridesmaids at
the same wedding. Should each Of
US send the bride q wedding present
instead Of sending one present to-
gether or with other members Of our
family?
Answer-One sent by both Of you
together would be the most that could
be expected. Moreover, It's value de-
pends on what you can afford. It
should, however, be personal. In your
particular case. It seems to me that
the present 0f any sent by your
parents could scarcely be more than
trifling because Of the far from small
outlay to which they will be put for
your and your sisters clothes. The
cost to the family Of every bridesmaid
Is always considerable, and in your
case 1t Is doubled!

nEAR MRS. POST: What can one
wear with an evening dress at .
church wedding since ''head-dress" is
required Of women guests In this par

Answer-Wear . "head-dress"-just

nAment shaped like a diadem, or q
