"HE ideal preserving Strawberries
are easy to cap, medium sized
and firm. They have rich flavor
and light. bright-red color that does
not turn dark with preserving. The
berries are uniform in size, so that they
will cook quickly. And they are firm
ripe rather than soft-ripe
Following are two recipes for
strawberry preserves. For best results
not more than six or eight pounds of
fruit should be handled at one time.
STRAWBERRY PRESERVES.
Select large. firm, tart berries.
Wash. drain and remove caps. For
each pound OF fruit use one pound Of
sugar. Combine the fruit and sugar
in alternate layers and let stand eight
to 10 hours or overnight before cook
ing. While heating to boiling. stir
carefully. Boil rapidly from Is to 20
minutes or until the sirup is some
what thick. taking care to prevent
burning. Remove the scum Fill hot,
sterilized jars three-fourths full of the
berries Add enough sirup to com.
pletely fill the containers and seal.
STRAWBERRY SUN PRESERVES.
These preserves can be made only
il there is sufficiently hot sunshine to
cause rapid evaporation.
Prepare choice strawberries as in
the recipe above. For each pound of
these choice berries allow one pound
OF sugar and one teaspoon lemon juice
Prepare sirup from the Juice of less
perfect berries and sugar. To do this
crush small berries, then stir them
while cooking for about three minutes.
Strain. To each pound of choice ber-
ries allow one-fourth cup of this juice
and one pound of sugar. Add the
sugar to the juice, stir and heat SLOW
ly until the sugar is entirely dissolved.
Add the berries to the sirup and SIM
mer for three to five minutes.
Drain the berries from the sirup
and place about an inch apart on shall
low enameled pans or china platters..
Boil the sirup until it is fairly thick;
that is, for about 10 minutes, or to 22l
degrees F. Remove the scum, add the
lemon juice and pour the sirup in a
thin layer over the berries. Cover
with window glass propped up about
one-fourth inch from the pans. Place
in the sun for two or three days or
until the sirup has jellied. Take inside
at night and after each days summing
turn the berries over. Without re-
heating put the preserves into hot
sterilized jars and SEAL"

Permanent
Essential
To Bride
Wave Given Several
Weeks in Advance
Looks Natural.
By ELSIE PIERCE.

MOT only brides, but most women,
feel that q permanent wave is an
essential at this time Of the year.
There's summer ahead, with its SWIM
ming and sports, travel perhaps, va
cations. You want the hair to look
its best with the minimum of fussing,
you want it to remain in wave instead
Of hanging limp and dank. and you
want 1t to weather wind and water.
After all. If every woman feels all
this IS essential. the bride doubtless
feels that 1t Is doubly important for
her to have a good permanent. And
it IS.
Briefly, there are several things that
contribute to the success of q wave.
First, the condition Of your own hair.
And that is why I cautioned in my
article of yesterday q pre-conditioning
campaign.
The method selected and the solu-
tion and heating time used should
be governed entirely by the type and
texture of the head Of hair to be
waved. There are quite a number OF
reputable methods-machine and ma
chineless waves. Leave 1t to q good
operator to recommend the method
best suited to your hair.
The operator, by the way, is the
most important factor. not only be-
cause this Is highly technical work,
requiring specialized knowledge. but
because an experienced permanent
waving operator can tell" hair tex
lures, the heat required by each indi-
vidual. the solution and so on II you
have seen q head Of hair blocked and
wrapped by q true expert you know
how sleek and clean" it looks, not q
hair out Of place. Still further, it's
the expert who takes test curls, thus
eliminating any possible error In
judgment.
It is well to have the wave some
time In advance and let the hair set
for q few days without even combing
it vigorously or shampooing. Then the
wave may last longer and be firmer.
For the bride it IS especially impor-
tant to have the wave in advance 80
that it will not look new" or too
kinky under her veil, but soft and nat
ural.

Dorothy Dix Says
Any Wife Enjoys Her Freedom
AS Much as Her Husband Does.

the same thing that she performs
alone. with no society but that Of the
children.
Don't nag. Don't be one Of the
pestiferous husbands who snoops in
the garbage can to see how thick the
potatoes were peeled; who audits the
grocery bill and demands to know
why the wife had to buy an extra
pound of butter, and who says every
day that II he ran his business the
way she runs the house they would
be on relief. Don't raise a ruction
every time the coffee is weak and the
roast overdone. Say q good word
about the perfect meals.
Don't throw up to your wife the
time she paid too much for hat 20
years ago. Don't blame all the chill
dren's faults on their mother. You
can jolly wife out Of her faults, but
you can't drive them out with ham,
mer. Furthermore, there are no such
reconciled widows as those who were
married to naggers.
And finally-and in this Is really all
the law and the prophets about how
to hold q wife's affections-keep SELL
ing yourself to your wife and make her
feel that she got q good bargain in
stead Of wondering why she did IT..
Keep yourself personally attractive.
No woman can go on being romantic
about q man who looks like something
the cat brought in and who sits around
in his stocking feet. Nor can she
want to kiss a man with three days
stubble of beard on his face. Nor can
she enthuse over talking to one who
merely grunts when he is spoken to.
If you want to keep your wife in
love with you. Mr.. Husband. you must
make yourself lovable. It takes time
and thought and work. but it IS worth
what it costs. DOROTHY DIX.

fingers from direct contact with the
linen, and thus insure longer fresh
ness Some of these have scattered
coin spots of solid colored beads to
accent the white background. and
frames and handles of white compo-
sition material.
NATURAL colored linen bags
trimmed with tan calf match the
natural linen and leather shoes. They
are more serviceable than the white
bags, but, of course, will not match
every costume. Wooden bead bags,
which are among the most satisfactory
for summer use. continue from season
to season in ever-varying shapes and
sizes. The multi-colored bead bags
are also popular, and are particularly
good with dark sheers.
Summer evening bags are dainty
and quite inexpensive. They are FASH
ioned of solid pearl beads, or pearls
on organdy or net. or made Of chiffon
or organza, shirred. tucked and
ruffled. In white or pastel colors, they
are excellent suggestions for gradu-
alton gifts. Those made Of rows and
rows of very narrow gathered white
lace are lovely to carry with summer
dance frocks.
As to gloves, we are told that mesh
ones will be very good this summer
in both white and dark colors. They
afford covering for the hand, yet do
not add any warmth, and are said to
wear like iron. These crocheteo
gloves come to us as the handiwork OF
girls and women from several coun-
tries across the sea- In their least ex-
pensive form they may be purchased
for as little as 68 cents a pair. In
the better qualities. these gloves are
shown with gauntlets in interesting
patterns, some worked in small woolen
flowers in bright peasant colors, others
varying the all white by contrasting
trim Of navy blue or black used ju-
diciously. Natural linen colored
gloves trimmed in brown are new,
having been recently featured in sew
eral New York displays. WrSt-lengtn
mits in white and black are also shown
Tailored "shorties" in chamois yel-
low fabric with hand-sewn seams are
smart. There are various ways OF
dressing up the backs of gloves in
stead of using the usual three-point
stitching. Little embroidered
roses to trim the backs of angelskin
gloves, and simulated emblem also
appears. Two colors are used in the
same way. The plain, classic white
pull-ons in doeskin, or fabric, are al
ways safe choice, as they never &c
out of style, are always in good taste,
and look we'll with most costumes.

KR. HUSBAND. If you desire
M your wife to remain under
wv the delusion that you hung
4 4 the moon and keep her down
on her knees thanking God that she
drew the big prize in the matrimonial
lottery, add these tips to the ones !
gave you in previous article:
Don't constitute yourself your wife's
jailer. An adult. intelligent, educated
girl doesn't marry to get boss. On
the contrary, one Of the things she
marries for is to escape from mothers S
tyranny, being told what to do and
what not to do every hour Of the
day and generally treated like moron
infant. There is no woman so humble
and poor-spirited that she doesn't
resent having 10 ask her husbands
permission to join club or buy new
dress or 60 to see a friend Your
wifes personal freedom is just as dear
to her as yours is to you, and the more
liberty you grant her the less she
will take.
Don't be one Of the foolish men
who think that a wife should be like
a snail and carry her house on her
back all of the time. There was never
any more mischevious propaganda
than that about the ideal wife being a
woman who never stirred from her
own fireside and who had no interests
outside Of the four walls Of her home.
Take your wife out once week on a
party. even II all you can afford is a
neighborhood movie and a soda at the
corner drug store. Maybe you are q
tired business man, but she Is lot
more tired business woman when night
comes. Your work, at least. has some
variety in it and IS alleviated by the
companionship of others. Hers is the
deadly monotony of q job that is the
eternal doing over and over again of

to wide range of fancy" dishes.
The old rule for marketers-see the
berries in the bottom Of the box before
you buy-still holds good. You can't
tell what is underneath that lovely
looking layer Of great big, ripe fruit
on top-and unless you insist on doing
little research, you may find yourself
badly done" Look the whole box
over carefully, and to help guide you
in your selection. the Bureau Of Home
Economics of the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture has issued the following
suggestions:
Usually in shopping for Strawberries
eye appeal counts for lot. And. ac-
cording to experts. that is as il
should be. For better berries show
their quality In fresh, clean, bright
appearance. They have a solid red
color all over and are without excess
moisture, dirt or trash. The green
caps are attached Both caps and
stems are bright green.
Strawberry quality may be marked
down for number of reasons. Berries
may be overripe or immature. A con-
tainer stained deep red is warning
flag to purchasers. For it usually
means that the berries have beer
mashed or they are overripe and leaky
Other overripe berries may be shrunker
and dull in appearance. Berries with
white spots-especially on the tips
were picked too soon, before they were
mature.
DECAY and mold are other signs
of poor strawberries. Neithe,
OF these may show up on the berries
atop the basket, but be evident wher
you examine those farther down.
Buy only enough strawberries TO,
immediate needs. They are among
the most perishable of all the fruits
To keep them overnight, look them
over and pick out any berries that
show signs of softening or mold, then
place in colander or other ventilated
container and put them in a refrigera-
tor or other cool place.
Wash berries just before you're
ready to use them. To keep them
from mashing, rinse the Strawberries
carefully. few at time, in a pan of
water. Do not let the water fall on
them with force. Lift the berries out
Of the water rather than pour the
water off-that way the sand or soil
that settles to the bottom won't lodge
again on the berries. Do not let
the berries stay in water any longer
than necessary or they'll lose color
and flavor. Remove caps only after
the berries are thoroughly washed.
When raw, strawberries are at
their luscious and nutritive best. Just
a little heat will spoil the fine berry
flavor. And heat also destroys the
| vitamin c for which strawberries are
an excellent source.
To many persons the word Straw
berry is synonymous with shortcake
Others think Immediately of their
favorite strawberries with cream. Or

shoes they turn even the dark ensem-
BILE into a satisfying summer picture
With this thought in mind We have
been scouting around to see what the
shops are offering, and have been well
rewarded. We have discovered that
every woman who wants white
handbag may have one at prices
ranging from 81, 50 and 50 up.
In the less expensive brackets she
will find imitation alligator grain done
in white with top handles and upper
fastenings. and also smooth finished
synthetic feathers, all nicely lnclosed
in cellophane envelopes, and as neat
as a pin. With care they will prob
ably last a couple of months. or longer,
and no doubt carry through to vaca-
ton time. when a darker bag is often
q better choice.
However, you will find more inter-
esting and unusual styling in the more
extensive bags. Three dollars seems
to be a very popular price for summer
bags. and for this amount there is an
excellent selection in all shops. with
new bags coming in right along. We
have been advised in several stores
that their buyers were in New York
last week getting the very latest in
bag and accessory news from head
quarters.

soft calfskin, bags with removable

popular wooden bead bags as we'll as
printed crepes in gay colors on white.
Although the large bag is said to have

every size and shape to fit conven-

Patent leather bags in pastel colors
are very nice at SO. They come in pink
powder blue, yellow. dubonnet and
aqua and are all shown with fabric
gloves in exactly matching colors, as
well as lapel flowers and scarfs. The
bags come in four different styles,
with the gloves all of the same design.
These are ideally suited to contrast
with the all-white suit or to compile

Interesting. and at the same time
very good looking, are some bags made
by two school teachers who operate
their own bag factory in Lynchburg,
Va. These bags are of scrubbable linen
ample in size and ornamented by an
intriguing scroll design, part of which
makes the handle, in a contrast color
of leather. There are both light and
dark linens among these well-propor-
toned bags. They, too. fall within the
popular SO price range.
Fine beads sewed into linen to make
an all-over bumpy surface is a new
trick this season that is very good.
The beads serve to keep perspiring

STATE AUTO UNION
 STRIKES LEWIS

Meriden, Conn.,, Sept. 2.-(UPD- The state organization committee of the United Automobile Workers of America today accused John L.. Lewis of being personally in g. large measure responsible for the chaos which exists in our Union to- day"
 The committee, headed by Henry J. Burke, sent a letter to the CIO leader, reviewing the controversy be- tween himself and Homer Martin, president of the JAVA, which re- suited in expulsion of four ranking officers of a so-called unity fac- ton" and a proposal by Lewis to have further JAVA difficulties set- tied by the CIO executive commit tee.
 Lewis proposal, the letter charged, constitutes refusal to allow the auto workers to build a healthy union.
 If you had not interferred in our union affairs at the Milwaukee con- vention of 1897 we would have re- moved this cancerouS unity growth then and would not have to endure 1t now.

 A town convention broke up Mon- day night without the naming of a delegation to the convention. A fac ton headed by Town Chairman and Secretary of State c. John Satti wanted the delegation instructed, while a rival group demanded an tininStructed body.
