T IS the common feeling among houe-

jelly-making than w'th almost nnythlng
else. But there are a few fundamental
principles underlying'the prorei of jelly
making which. If well understood and
carefully followed, will make it one of
relative certainty rather than of "luck."
Good jelly Is dependent upon the
proper combination of pectin, acid,
sugar and flavoring substances Of
these the fruit furnishes all but the
sugar, and een this may b" supplied
partially, as for Instance ln certain
varieties of grapes. Pec'ln N the sub

of certain fruits which causes the jelly

Is obtained by cooking It out of the
fruit. The raw juice pressed from the
fruit does not contain It ln large
amounts-, ordinarily The acid is, of
course, the substance which makes tho
fruit sour or tait and l contained In
both the raw and the cooked-out juice.

Her Path Is Difficult
Dear Cynthia Your letters In the Ktskivo
rrar.ip Lr.nor.a have helped me very much.
I want to ask you what t am to do. I am
twenty-two years of age and have never
been allowed to have company at home or
go out to glares cf amusement mueh. Have
had a heart-to-heart talk with my mother
and father, but they Insist that until a girl
marries she must stay at homo and do
Just as her parents say I am tired of this
kind of a life and want tn eo awav,
furthermore. I am working tand making
a good salary and have olnays turned It
all oer to my narents. A young man that
i nave only Known ror two months has
asked me tn marry him. but if you can help
me out I will greatly appreciate It. JIAE.
My dear, do you love the young man
and is he worthy of you? That Is the
principal question, if you do, the solu
tion Is to marry him. If you do not,
do not think of marrying.
How can your parents expect you to
marry If they will not allow men to
get to know you and your surroundings
by calling rt your home? Unless your
parents need all your money to run the

;home, but take a stand, explaining that

French nnd Italian girls, or rather was
so before the war. But that Is not a
practical attitude for Americans. I
hope you will succeed In making them
understand. But do not marry unless
you love, my dear. Love and respect
are very necessary.

Dear Cy,nthla I have been going with a

in company I feel embarrassed, as ahe does
not act the way I would want her to, which
makes me lenve her. But after a few

ahe Is a good and true girl and would make
nn excellent wife for any man. When we
go out together we enjoy ourselves very
much, as she talks xery wisely, but when
out In company ahe doesn't seem to be

You cannot do that sort of thing.
Fllther you love the girl or you do not.
The fact that she is shy and has, per
haps, foreign ways should certainly not
turn you from her. She must have a
sweet disposition to forgive your behav
ing as you do, when you are not pleased
with her when with others.
If you can bring yourself to give up

Kuthion Talk
Put Vaseline on Stopper
Glass stonPered bottles are sometimes
difficult to open. This may be overcome
IF YOU should ask me If the separate,
waist or blouse 'were In fashion 1
should, without even hesitating a sec
ond, answer ln the affirmative. In fact,
the blouse Is always In fashion. It may.
It ls true, be more of a rage at one
time than at another, but always the
blouse ls good.
The reason why the demand for the
blouse fluctuates from good to extremely
good is based on the fact that when the
suit or the separate skirt receives the
priority over all else. then, quite nat
urally, the blouse Jumps Into Immediate
favor as copartner to the suit. And
as the women nre taking to the Bult
as well as the separate! skirt. It Is easy
to understand why there Is at present
an Increased call everywhere for the
blouse.
Without doubt, the vogue of the
sweater has been a means of keeping"
the blouse In the public eye, especially
the very summery sort that are so at
tractive with the sleeveless sweater.
It Is rather difficult to say which ma
terial Is given the preference for the
summer blouse. The favoritism seems
to fluctuate between all attractive sum
mer materials. However. georgette
crepe, the all-year-around textile, con
tinues tff-mrVBtne-uppernana-to-a great
extent, regardless of the alluring quail-
cotton voile as a material for the blouse,
you uhould become acquainted with It.
For many years I have been a great
admirer of cnttun voile, because of Its
dainty coloring and for the wearing
qualltlett, which cannot be excelled tn
any other thin material, cither cotton
or silk.
Tho artist has made a sketch of one
of the newest of voile blouses. In this
Instance the voile Is dotted and com
bined iu an unusual way with plain
organdie. Organdie forms the long,
rolling collar, the cuffs and Iu plaited
to form the vestee.
The round neck Is extremely popular,
and while this sort of neckline Is very
trying. It ia remarkable how many
women wear It and really seem to get
away with It and look very attractive.
At the right Is a blouse of georgette
with the rounded neck The georgette,
which forms the neckline and a petite
yoke, Is embroidered daintily In silk.
