Overlooking Character

1T all depends on the indi-
viduars conception of love,
says Mary Ann Snyder.
IF the love in question is

cal attraction. then it's blind as

war marriages. The kids get
hitched before they know much
more than what each other

siderations are forgotten. The
color Of her eyes or the way he

that rightfully belongs TO char

But true love is something

Whether ready-made or home
made, a water-bath Gamer should
be deep enough for the jars used.
Most quart canning jars are inches
tall and pints 6 inches. A vessel
must be at least 8 or 4 inches taller
than the jars to allow for jar height,
plus rack, plus water to cover jars
an>inch or two and bubble up in a
rolling boil. If a Gamer is too shall
low, the water cannot boil up brisk
1y over the jar tops to sterilize food
throughout each jar.
Give a homemade eanner a good
rack. Occasionally, home canner
makes the mistake of buying or con-
triving a rack too big to fit. AS a
guide to size, measure the diameter
Of the canner. A rack for cooling
bread or cake, or a wire basket,
will often serve Or a, rack may be
made to measure of wire or strips
Of wood. Don't use pine, because
resin would boil out and get on the
jars. Partitions in a rack are an
advantage. They keep jars from
touching one another and falling
against sides of the canner.
Take note that water-bath can
ner needs a good lid, but not tight

steam to help heat the jars of food.

OF course, your basic hash will
be the usual ground or finely
chopped cooked meat, some Drowned
minced onion, salt and pepper to
taste. But from there on in you're
on your own to ring changes on the
theme.
: You may decide you like . "wet"
hash-so you mix a good rich white
sauce into the meat, with chopped
parsley for flavor and serve 1t on
rounds Of toast or rolled in pam
cakes. Perhaps you prefer a "dry"
hash another time. Spread it thinly
over the bottom of q creased skillet,
brown it well, fold it like an omelet,
with a good spike Of ketchup In its
middle. Or maybe you put the
wet" hash into a casserole with
more onions and some diced pota-
toes, a swish of fresh herbs and
sprinkle Of cheese on top, along
with some buttered crumbs.
Then there's that unbeatable
combination of hash and poached
egg-the dry type is best for this
one. Only, vary the picture this
time by chopping an anchovy fine
and sprinkling it over the egg. An
other trick is to serve the hash on
top of thick slices Of broiled or
fried eggplant. You can stuff an
eggplant with hash, too, and bake
it to melting tenderness.
Once was served hash baked in
ring mold, surrounding a melange
of fresh garden vegetables the
hash was fundamentally the usual
concoction, but putting it in q ring
changed it interestingly.
Mixing cooked beets with hash is
an old New England stunt-"Red
Flannel Hash" they call it. But few
people think of mixing such things
as mushrooms, chopped carrots or
corn with hash-and they are all
plenty good. If your hash supply is
strictly on the slender side, add some
stewed tomatoes to it, season it with
cayenne or chilli and serve it as a
sauce over macaroni or noodles.
And instead of the familiar Shep-
herds Pie, reverse the usual pro-
cedure and cover a layer of seal
loped potatoes with a good moist
hash popped up with bit of horse

Strawberries and ice cream spell
glamour to every member Of the

sugar supplies, you can manage to
produce this favorite treat often
during the short season when straw
berries are plentiful. The magic
trick is to take advantage of sweet
ened condensed milk which is a
rich, creamy blend. of fresh whole
milk and sugar. It's a literally
failure-proof ice cream mix. All you
need to add to the sWeetened con-
densed milk is light cream or evap-
Grated milk and favoring. And
you're always sure of a magically

HANGING MIRRORS.
STEEL WOOL TIP.
From Mrs. w. H. S,
Cottn0p TifU Md

I recently had the same problem
with hanging mirrors that had no
backing. Mine was solved when I
found tiny brackets in well-known
sand 10-cent store. These brackets
come four on a card for 10 cents
and four are needed to hang one
mirror. You would only need two
cards. You will find these sold on
the counter where pictures and
mirrors are sold.
Here is a little tip I've often
wondered if any one else thought of
When I buy package of steel wool
soap pads which have been SO scarce,
I cut each pad in half or quarters
and have found that they go farther,
because one seldom needs large
pad and they lust get water soaked.
