out keeolmr track of what she does
with her money and what she Is Bolne
to do with It Of course, she could
dash away seven dollars and then say,
"I'll make the rest do." But there's the
rub The rest won t do unless vou
plan what you're colnfr to spend; un
less vou figure un the expenses of the i
week, unless when you ko shy you
find out the Item you spent too much
money on. That's the way a business ,
Is run If too much money is spent In
one department the budget Is sliced I
there That Is the only way.
THE business woman as the careless
custodian of her own money never
stands In a worse light than when
ranged alongside her brother-man who
often on the some salary portioned out I
to her. is raising a family. And right ,
here I think can ho found the secret
of why women do not save. Thev seem
to have no particular incentive. Verv
often the business elrl first sets out
to work to make extra pocket money
She never quite gets oxer the idea that
she Is making pocket mone' no mat
ter how big the oav envelope grows
Man does not fro into the business
world with that idea It Is un to him
eventually to found a family and to
provide for that familv
It comes back to the old saw
i Women have learned to lean on men.
Not all but nearly all have high hopes
of being eventually carried off to a
home provided with some one else's
earnings Perhaps war will change
this Perhaps now that women have
taken the middle of the road the verv
loe of the game will Instill In them
the ambition to become substantial
members of the community

MAKE YOUR HOME GARDEN LAST ALL WINTER;
CAN ALL YOU CAN AND HELP THE NATION
An Expert Gives Details of Process Step by Step Wise Connors Read Directions Carefully,
Heed Every Rule and Do Not Trust to Pot Luck Aim to Gel Produce Into Jars as
Quickly as Possible
THE first step In home canning of
vegetables or frult3 Is to make sure
that all the needed apparatus is handy
and In condition for Immediate life As
explained In the Kvemso I'cbijc
Ledger of Saturday, .June 1, this con
sists of a hot-water bath outfit (such as
a washboller with a wooden or wire
rack) or a steam-pressure canner, glass
Jars, tops and rubber rings (or cans
and soldering outfit), a ard or two of
clean cheesecloth for blanching and dip
ping and the usual kitchen equipment of
clean enameled pans, knives, spoons,
wooden paddle and sugar, salt and other
condiments for flavoring. Tables and all
utensils with which the product is to
come In contact must be scrupulously
clean preferably scalded with boiling
water.
V Freh, Sound Troilurts
The fruits or vegetables to be canned
must be fresh, sound, and neither too
green nor too ripe. Young vegetables
give better results than old, woody or
tough ones. Aim to get the products
into the Jars as quickly as Is practicable.
Kvery minute's delay lessens flavor and
adds to the difficulty of canning. Such
products as green peas or sweet corn
are not fit to can If they are off the
vines more than a few hours. Peas
for canning should be picked early In the
morning or during a cool speH and
rushed Into the cans. Don't let peas
stand after they are shelled.
Prepare Water Bath find Kmpty Jars
and I,lds
Start your day's canning operations by
putting your washboller or hot-water
bath with Its wooden or Iron rack
to boll on the fire. Before the water
In It gets too hot place clean empty
Jars on their sides and put glass covers '
or metal caps in tne nam, me metal
caps preferably In a piece of cloth which
may be lifted out conveniently. Cover
the Jars with water, put the lid on the
boiler, and let the Jars boll until you
are ready to use them. They should be
allowed to boll for at least la minutes
As it takea time for a big vessel of wa- I
ter to come to a boll, start this boiling
of Jars some time before you begin ac
tually to prepare jour fruit or vege
tables. Try not to have your prepared

before vou will use the rubber rings
add a teaspoonful of bicarbonate (cool.
lng) soda to a quart of boiling wattr
Cleanse the rubber rings Just before
putting them on the Jars by dipping
them for one minute In this hot soda
water.
Preparing l'rults and Vegetables
Select sound fiesh fruits and vege
tables and carefully wash in cold water
Do not put coft berries Into water. Btnse
them bv pouring water over the berries
In a colander, being earful not to mash
or bruise them Sort the product again
and discard all bruised or defective
pieces.
With clean hands and scalded utensils
peel or scrape or cut up large products
Into pieces of canning size If the hot
Jars are not vet ready and they must
have boiled for at least fifteen minutes
cover each dish of prepared product
with a clean towel or scalded cover
Better vet, prepare only a binnll quan
tity at a time and rush Into one or two
Jars Then prepare another batch The
quicker the product Is prepared and
packed Into the hot Jar the better.
nianrhlnr
Just before placing In the Jars put the
prepared product In the center of a clean
cheesecloth square. Take the cloth by
the corners and plunge the product Into
the clean boiling water In the blanching
vessel Allow'lt to remain In the boiling
water only for the time specified for the
particular product Remove immediately
and either dip into cold bath or place
directly In the Jars, as directed for the
product.
Cold Dipping
If dipping In a cold water-bath Is ad
vised for the product, the moment the
bag of blanched material Is taken from
the boiling water plunge It into a vessel
of clean cold water the colder the bet
ter. Allow It to remain In the cold water
only for the time specified Do not
allow it to soak in the cold water.
Packing the Jar
Remove from the water bath the Jars
and covers, which must have been boil
ing for at least fifteen minutes. As
quickly as pqsslble pack the blanched
(and dipped) product Into the boiled
Jars Pack quickly and carefully, using
a flat and narrow wooden paddle or
wooden spoon. Eliminate all bubbles

which tells of the different lengths of
time required Is issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and may be had
free by writing for It The time must
be strictly adhered to, and It Is folly
for any one to try to can without know
ing this time.
If the product Is one that can be
canned by a single period of boiling In
a hot-kater bath, your product, after It
has been boiled the required length of
time, tightly scaled and allowed to get
thoroughly cold. Is ready for storage
There Is another process of canning
which requires Intermittent boiling.
Special Considerations
A single period of boiling In the water
bath has been found generally satisfac
tory f.ir the canning of fruits and such
acid vegetables as tomatoes Lima
beans, peas, corn and certain other vege
tables having a high protein content, or
which, because of their thick consist
ency, do not allow the heat to penetrate
to the center of the can readily, art
more difficult to sterilize, and hence
where the hot water bath Is used, either
by the single-continuous or by the Inter
mittent process, a small percentage of
loss by spoilage may be expected. How
ever, scrupulous care In the selection,

under pressure of ten to fifteen pounds.
In a pressure canner or ejoker. Is strong
ly recommended for the handling; of such
products, for by Its use Iobs due to In
sufficient sterilization may be largely
eliminated.
Intermittent Boiling
For the benefit of those to whom the
Intermittent boiling or processing may
not be familiar, It may be explained
that this consists merely of placing the
cans or Jars of material to be treated
In the boiler or canner, and boiling for
the required length of time on each of
three successive days. By many this is
considered a rater procedure than the
use of a single, long period of boiling.
If you employ this method, when tne
Jars are being given the second and
third boiling treatments, jou should
loosen the clamps or unscrew the lids
sightly Just before you place them
again In tho boiling walei. Tighten
covers at the end of each boiling. As
the seal of the Jars Is loosened slightly
during each boiling, the metal-capped
I Jars, sometimes called "hermetic" Jar,
are not suited io .niv-minicm n,
Jars with self-sealing wire-clamped tops
are most satisfactory to use In Inter
mittent canning. Save your screw-top
tar for nacldiic fruits and tomatoes,
',whlch require but one period of boiling
In a water-natn outiit.
Canning In Metal
Wash the cans carefully and scald
with boiling wator to make certain that
they are absolutely clean. In the case
of cans, prepare the product the same
as If it were to be packed In Jars Fill
the cans Solder on the tops. Raving

A Letter Is Written
IT srnSIS too wonderful Last night
rjeorge Arnold chatted with me all
evening He neglected Margot and even
Mrs Ashby He tald to tne, "Vou are
that rare thing, a modem girl with
delicacies'."
It has made me happy ever since
That he should say that He, a man
among men A man with the sure way
that comes only from handling big
things, and men And I Interested him.
when I had given up all hope, because I
was mvsclf was modest
But my little triumph has alloy. It
tuns through It all The problem o
Bennle He savs he loves me, and ho
thinks It, too And I must do something
to make him forget
At last 1 have hit on a plan By
my advice he would studv at the Art
League this winter But It Is secondary,
a time-filler While Bennle's whole heart
Is set on going to war
I shall write to Bennle's mother, mv
great-aunt, whom 1 see seldom. I shall
tell her Bennle loves me Is bent on
marrying me Swears he will do wild
things If I will not marry him And says
many foolish things. .Foolish, but they
worry me.
I shall tell her I am six years older
than Bennle. But I am very fond of
Bennle Ive him, in fact But I shall
tell her it is In a big-sisterly way I
shall wtite her, too, that Bennle's one
aim Is to go to war. If she will let him
do that, it will save him. But otherwise
I do not know where his madness ma)
lead him Nor where my pity shall make
me follow.
Tho letter Is written I feel relieved.
It would be such n splendid way out
It will make a man of Bennle And
though he is onlv nineteen, he is not too
young to serve his country
The die Is cast. I can only hope she
will see It as I do.
Oeorge Arnold Is coming again to
night And Judge Ashby. 1 cannot but
wonder what he Is.
A while ago I went to Mrs. Ashby's
room She lay on her couch The glaring
morning sun streamed over her. I could
not but notice the sallowneBS of her
skin And the deep lines cut In her face
They nre erased under a delicate make
up But I almost felt as If she were wor
ried, frightened As If she would tell me
something, but had laid a restraining
finger on her lips.
With all her charm and fascination,
can she not hold her husband? Or is
he Jealous of the attention she attracts'.'
Or Is It something else?
I am curious I admit to see the hus
band of the bewitching Mrs. Ashby. But
not as curious aa I am happy.
For George Arnold Is coming tonight.
Tomorrow Judge Ashby Comes

ALREADY 1 have advised you to
cherish the lace baa and It you havo
heeded the suggestion, you will find
many ways this Hummer to utilize what
ou have so carefully laid away, for tho
designers arc beginning to realize onco
again the beauty of lace and tho various
ways In which It can be adapted to
give the maximum of trimming valuo
with the minimum of labor. They ara
therefore not inclined to let such a
good thing "slip through their fingers."
Another revival is the use of fringe,
which. It might be said, Is ns vet In Its
Infancy. We have had the narrow
fringe used at the hem of the skirt for
several seasons, but this season ths
deep fringe was Introduced on several ot
the French models. We raw It lnv
heavy wool and uh-o In silk, but the
latter seems to have made the real hit.
This deep silk fringe is quite the same
as the fringe which was favored by
ur mothers for the black satin dress;
and here again Is u revival, for, with
out doubt, the black satin dress will bo
considered very smart for tho coming
fall and winter.
To Illustrate the ue of lace, I am"
giving you a model today which shows
