Is there fool proof method for
preparing grape jelly so it will be
Jelly and not sort of heavy sirup?

grapes, cooked them for IS minutes
put them in jelly bag to drip over
night. Put sugar cup for cup in first

(Froml M. v. A., Washington)
1 think the story of the origin OF
the name is interesting. The Ne
groes of Tallahassee, Fla, used to
work on sugar cane grinding. After
work, they had fish fry and would
Try their pone in the iron pot in
which they fried their fish. AS they
ate and spun their tales. their dogs,
one by one would sniff the tantaliz-
ing odor of the frying pone and
would whine. From time to time,
one or another of the Negroes would
break OF a bit of pone, toss 1t to a
dog. saying, Hush, puppy!"
The expression, Hush! Puppy!"
came to be so much associated with
the frying of the pone in the open
that 1t gradually received that name
Today, 1 am told, no Southern fish
Try is complete without hush pup
pies.

grapes, but those which experience

be suitable for wine.
