"It Is strange you didn't get Mrs

and we pride ourselves that In looks

Mr. Woolsey was convinced, but Janet
was furious at his daring to question
their patriotism
"Janet dour" "-.ltd Mrs Naylor, n
little later In the pantry, "Mrs". Bovd's
letter has come, nnd Mr. Woolsey Is a
wealthy young man But his nerves are
badly shattered nnd he needs rest nnd
quiet."
One dav she played "Humnresque"
softly, nnd wheeled around suddenly to
find Edward Woolsey listening In rapt
attention.
"It brings back vivid memories, with
Its sweet, haunting air." he explained.
"But I play It," returned Janet se
verely, "because It cheers the boys In the

boys, doing his bit. My brother Tom Is
over there, and he could have claimed

nothing could hold him," she flung out,
rushing from the room.
"Whew !" thought Edward, "She's an

The next morning as Janet, In kliakl

Adventures
With a Purse
1. A first-ft I (I cfsNP for (lie motor trip or
picnic
2. Mercerized will, for knitting nwenters,
nt twenty-.! c cents the bull.
3. An "oflice" unibrelln for the inun of
the house.
H
OW often It happens that picnics
dred slips result, a badly scratched
knee, and no antiseptic. Although the
little first-aid kits I saw today bear the
name Auto Emergency Cape, I think It
Is, It oocurred to me that such a case
would bo handy for picnics or trips to
the country or almost any place. The
square tin box contains a roll of
bandages, cotton, scissors, carbonized
petrolatum, and, In phort, almost any
thing you would need, nnu complete.
This case can be had for $2.50.
Although sweaters can be purchased
ready-made for a surprisingly small
sum this year, between times making
things for the soldiers, It Is so Interesting
to knit one's own. And the silk or yarn
comes specially priced, too. One of the
shops is offering balls of what I take to
be mercerized silk In lovely colors for
twenty-five cents a ball, although the
assurance Is that these balls are thlrty-flve-cent
quality. You'll find them In
nlnk. or creen. or rose, or orange In
fact, In any colcvr you havo In mind for
your sweater. And just think, since only
six balls are required for those little
shortwalsted and sleeveless sweaters, the
total cost would bo only $i.&.
"You'd better carry an umbrella,
dear," you say to "him" as he starts for
the oflice on "a very dark, threatening
morning. But he has tho supreme
masculine contempt for the "henpecked"
look which the carrying of an umbrella
for possible storm Is said to Impart, and
so ho goes off without one, the result
frequently being that ho returns at night
very much dampened as to clothes and
rather Irritable ns o disposition. He
probably thinks you made it rain Just
on purpose. Of course, tho best way to
prevent Buch domestic wrinkles is to
purchase for him for his birthday an of
fice umbrella. I saw some Inexpensive
ones today which would do .nicely for
tho oflice. They are of cotton, of course,
have good heavy crooked handles (did
you ever meet a man who would carry a
straight-handled umbrella?) and their
price is only $1.
DEALERS LOAD OWN ICE
Gloucester Men Go to Kirkwood,
N. J., and Fill Cars
A few of the Gloucester ice consumers
who calmly accepted their regular sup
ply of Ice today realized that they ob
tained It only because the Ice dealers
themselves went to Kirkwood, N. J., this
morning and loaded two freight cars
with the precious commodity.
The storehouses ot Kirkwood have an
abundance of ice. but shortage of labor
has prevented Its distribution. Upon
learning this the dealers went to the
storhouse and loaded their supplies, that
their customers need not suffer. They
declared labor shortage would not be
allowed to Interfere as long as they
were able to work.

CHAPTER. XXVIII
A Meeting
NOT until I reached home, did I unroll
the check.
"Pay to tho order of Prudence Pale
$200," It read.
I looked at It Kiilltlly. Had I any
right to spend It?
"Why shouldn't I take It from Eddie?
He's on old friend," said one side of
my mind.
"You'll have to pay It back and suffer
for It," Bald the other.
A tiny thing decided me. Allco was
going out. Sho looked even more charm
ing than usual, Her heavy whlto silk
suit outlined the sUmacs of her figure.
Her hat, faced with blue, brought out
tho subtle beauty of her eyes.
"I'm going to meet your friend, Dan,"
sho said, laughing, as sho left the room.
The delicate s,ccnt of violets still hung
In tho air.
Perhaps, If I could dress like Alice.
If I And Dan had liked me at
first.
I made my resolve. When Betty came
homo I told her.
"I've some extra pioney, Betty; would
you help mo get some clothes?"
"You certainly have needed them, Pru
dence ; you haven't a particle of style.
Now, If you plan them carefully, you
can sac a lot and look just ns well.
I have to have clothes fli my business."
Betty told me Just what I ought to
get. How much I should pay.
On my way downtown next afternoon
I studied people's clothes. Should I
like to look like that Klrl with the
striking dress of green and the big
black bat? Several people on tho ave
nuo turned to look after her. "No,"
I decided mentally.
What about that girl in dark blue.
Inconspicuously dressed, but Immaculate
from hair to Heels'; -mat was wnat i
wanted. I did not realize then that
that effect was far harder to achieve.
Ahead of mo I noticed a tall, lean
figure, swinging along with a certnin
youthful strength. Ho turned. I was
startled Mr. Deland
In a crowd nt the curb he was forced
back upon me.
"Beg pardon," ho said, lifting his
lint. Then a look of otortled recognition
shot across his face. Why should ho
bo startled to seo me? Even then I
wondered. We -were walking down the
avenuo side by side. I must match
my step to his long one.
Hold by the fascination of the man,
I had passed thn shopi. I told him.
"Why not walk down a way? It Is
too pleasant out to shop," ho suggested.
I fell In easily with his suggestion.
Down tho avenue wo walked, where
it seemed to grow almost deserted com
pared with tho throng we had passed.
Mr. Deland was talking of China.
"I've some lovely Chinese things," he
said. "I wish you could see them. A
Chinese wedding robe, a mandarin's um
brella, a few old panels."
"I'd love to," I answered.
"Why can't you come down now to
my roomn and see them?"
"I Bbould like to," I said eagerly. I
never thought, then

CANNING FRUIT WITH
LITTLE OR NO SUGAR
Sweet Syrups Used Recipes
Given for Peach Jam,
Apples and Grapes
Fruits canned without sugar keep per
fectly, but will not have tho fine color
and flavor which they would havo If
packed In nyrup. They are very good,
however, when used In salads, desstrts,
plo fillings. Ices nnd In fruit punches.
Fruit Juices take no sugar and their
uses ara Just as varied during tho winter
months as are the fruits put up un
sweetened. In this way the Juices are
kept nvallablo for Jellymoklng nt a fu
ture time when sugar may bo more plen
tiful. Many home demonstration ngents have
already substituted syrups successfully
for sugar In their rcclpe.i for canning
and preserving. ' Very satisfactory re
sults may be secured If when one pound
of sugar Is called for In a recipe two
thirds of a pound of corn syrup Is
used and one-third of a pound of pugnr.
Whero sorghum and cano syrups are
used without first clarifying the syrupo
the product will bo darker. Tbcso syrups
also Impart a flavor which destroys tho
natural fruit flavor, so the ndditlon of
spices to the recipes Is sometimes ad
visable. Honey has been used succs
f ully with cherries nnd poaches ; In such
cases the amount of liquid called for in
tho syrup Is reduced one-quarter cupful
for each cupfuUof honey.
Tho following nre some of tho best
recipes used by the agents:
Blackberry Jam
Three pounds crushed blnckben lee.
Three-quarters pound New Orleans
molasses or sorghum.
Three-quarters pound sugar.
Cook all together, stirring carefully
until It gives a good Jelly test. Pack hot
Into hot Jars and seal.
Peach Jnm
Two pounds peaches.
One-half cupful peach Juice.
One-half tcasnoonful allspice.
One cupful corn syrup.
One cupful nugar.
Two tcaspoonfuls broken stick cinna
mon. One tiaspoonful cloves.
One Inch ginger root.
Tic spices in cheesecloth bag and cook
all together until bright and clear. Pack
Into hot jars and seal at once.
Apple Pulp nnd Corn Syrnp
Take ono quart of apple pulp from
which the Juice has been extracted foi
jellymaklng and cook It with one cupful
of corn syrup until the mass brightens.
Pack while hot In hot Jars and seal at
once.
flrape Paste
Add one cupful corn syrup to two
cupfuls grape pulp, from which Juice has
been extracted for Jellymoklng and the
seeds have been removed by a sieve.
Cook together until the mass Is rather
dry, then turn out on an oiled surface
and place where a current of air will
pass over It. Dry for two or three days.
Cut Into squares or roll and slice. Pack
In glass Jars, tin boxes or paraflln-cov-ered
containers.
Apple paste may be made In the same
way.
Haddock Fillets
To cook haddock fillets properly,
sprinkle a little lemon Julco over the
fillets and season lightly with salt and
pepper. Butter a baking tin, put In the
fillets, cover them with a buttered papei
and bake them for ten minutes. Have
ready soma smoothly mashed potatoes;
make a border round n hot dish, ar
range tho fillets In tho center, nnd
sprinkle finely minced parsley over all.
A tasty addition Is a little nnchovy
sauce.

What to Do
By CYNTHIA
who looks fourteen. Kindly tell ma wht
to do. Tour advice will bo appreciated
by I W,
Ignore entirely the men who try to
flirt with you. I prefer tho attitude of
tho boys who are your friends than
that of the girls. I do not mean that
they shoudd get angry, but one ctnnot
blame them for not wishing their "girl"
to be flirted with. The girls are wrong.
You do right to resent the flirting. It
Is nothing to bo proud of nnd I know
you aro not proud of It. Resent It to
Buch an extent that you koep your eyes
straight ahead ot yau on the street,
dress quietly and pay no attention to
any remarks.
Father Did It Too
Dear Cynthia I am a girl of twenty
five jeara of age and wry much puzzled. A
man whom I met In Baltimore a few weeks
ngo seems (to have taken quite a fancy to
nie. 1 am fond of him also. 1 have- refu-M
to marry him on account of my father, who
will not give his consent to our marriage
Just because ho does not want a separation
in mo lamuy, should i marry against my
father's wishes? I am sure I could never
think tho samo of any other man.
GIRLIE.
I think an acquaintance of a few
weeks Is too short a time for n girl to
decide whether or not sho truly loves
man. Aro you sure that your father
Is not Just giving tho reason you men
tion In your letter as an excuse and that
ho feels you should know a man much
longer before you decide to marry him?
Why not ask tho man to wait for a year?
Then If at the end of that tlms you are
sure you care for him and ho Is suro
ho cares for you, If ho can support you
and If your father can give you no
reason other than that of "separation,"
It Is tlmo to think of tho wedding twlls.
