B PUT UP SOME PEACHES WHILE WE'VE PLENTY Firm Onfcs Are Best for Can ning You'll Appreciate Them When Winter Comes Firm, unlfoun slue peaches should be used for canning The early while flahed varieties may have the skins loosened by blanching In boiling water a minute or two, but most yellow varie ties must be peeled by hand llemove arid cold dip. Take off skins, cut In halves, renioe stones and pack at once, riace the halxes In overlapping layers, the pit surface of each being downward and the skin surface facing the glass. Cover with boiling syrup of the thin I grade. That Is one part sugar to four parts water. Put on the rubber nnd top. Partially seal by adjusting top ball or screwing top on with thumb and little finger. Sterilize sixteen minutes In hot wattr bath, or If using a nteamer ten minutes nt five pounds steam pressure If the fruit Is soft tlpe. If It Is hard ripe sterilize twenty-four minutes In boiling water or fifteen minutes In steam pressure. Ilemoxe, seal tight and cool. The hot water hath can simply be a wnsh boiler fitted with a false bottom nnd no top. The Jars are put In water a little warmr than the hot Jars. Ster ilization time Is counted from the time the water really begins to boll, showing good-sized bubbles. Keep water over tops of the Jars all through cooking. The editor of the Woman's Page, who has the kind co-operation of national war garden conitninlsslon will be glad to nnswer any queries on canning. On receipt of a two-cent stamp for postage the editor will forward the fiee canning and drying manual Issued by the com. mission.

ARTHI.K XIX Tt'TH thought, after her mother's JTL eentle ridicule and Jack's obvious disapproval, that work of the kind that, Myra had suggested would be difficult to discover. There was. too, the personal element about It. Ituth longed lo talk It over with Myra, to ask her more ques tloni? about It, to discuss the problem of approaching people without seeming, to Intrude on a purely Intimate-phase of life, but not for the world would she have asked a favor of Myra under exist ing circumstances. She was tempted dally to let It go and to devote herself to getting ready to be married, but something she could not entirely understand forced her mind to dwell on her work constantly so that she finally wnt to Helen Brander and In an effort to help matters confessed what It was that sh? wanted to do. Helen had been out with her mother at a fashionable afternoon reception. She wore an afternoon frock of grey chiffon velvet and a close little hat of velvet and fur. Ruth could not help exclaiming at the extraagance of the costume, the first of the new fall models that she had seen. Then she looked at Helen's face and promptly. changed hermlnd. Helen wnn ver whir and ner fti'es loftKea dark and traitlc. She weemeeTNipythlng but happy, although she had apparently evervthlne to make her so. She urasped both of Ruth's hands and exclaimed with a lightening of her en tire face. "Ruth, what a darling you are to look me up. I neer was so Blad to see anyone." "And 1 ncer 'raw anone look yt. stunning." "Vou mean my gown. I suppose : but look at my face Mother tells me about that day and night. "You do look pale, Helen. Tell me nhnnt thlnffa cin't VOU?' "No, I can't talk about It now, beeauc j mother suspects that you sympathize with me. I told her yesteiday when ahe goaded nie too far that you and .Tack I had been at the wedding. """Of course she was angry." "Angry? Well. ou Just can't Imag ine how furious she " I'm afraid she, won't be decent to you, Kuth. You dn't mind, do you?" ' Of course I don't." "Vell.here 'he comes now. fluck up. i now, and be a soldier." And a faint snil'e oM'rspread Helen's fAce. Mrs, Hranrter swept Into the room In I f her uual wa and greeted Ruth wllh extreme filgldnc. Slie plainly Intended to remain In the I room during Ruth's lslt unless the girli were able to Iment something to gel ner out or lo leave themselves. ,"I suppose ytiu and .lack are busy get ting ready foi the wedding." Mrs. Bran der said, condescendingly. "I met Jack ychtcrday and he wat telling meahout the apartment he has taken on West Und aenue," "Yes," .assented Ruth. "The apart ment Is a dear.' "Why, Ruth." Helen broke In almost eagerly. -I didn't know you and Jack had decided on an apartment." "We didn't decide Jack discovered it and took nie down to see it'esterda afternoon. I haven't had time to tel' jou about It." "She probably didn't want to tell ycu about it. auvway," put In Mrs. Brander. Icily. "1 notice that, although Ruth nn proed of tho Idiotic thing you did, she Is careful to-feather her own nest." "Oh mother, how can ou?" protested Helen, nngrily, "I haven't had a chance to tell Helen,' Ruth leturned, her cheeks scarlet. "And I necr said Ruth approved of wlut I did." Helen added. "But I did approvi." wild Ruth qulcl: Ij. 'M think Helen did 11 flue thing am l' think that we ought to make her happy while she Is waiting for Jim to com' home."

'N'ow, she'll lose no time about telling father," aald Helen, turning to Ruth, "and Ml hav to listen all over again to an account of Jlm'a worthlessness. O, I'm getting so tired of It. Ruth.

The Implication that Jack had eierj--thlng to recommend him had for thn first time rankled In Ruth's mind Had he everything to recommend him?
