rpHIS luscious berry, the first of our
native fruits to ripen in the be
ginning of the early summer, makes
a delicious product, canned, pre
served, made into jellies, jams or
marmalade.
Many housewives complain that in
canning berries the berries all rise to
the top of the jar. This is caused by
the sirup being too heavy. The
strawberries do not make a very
satisfactory fruit to can. Use the
cold pack process.
How to Prepare the Berries
Turn each box of berries on a plat
ter and then hull and sort at the same
time, and then return the good fruit

place.
Repeat this until sufficient straw
berries are prepared to fill one dozen
jars, using same sirup. This method
permits packing jars full of berries
before adding sirup.
To Prepare Sirup for Jars j
Heavy, two cups sugar to one cup
of water;
Medium, onc and one-half cupi
sugar to onc cup of uatcr;
Thin, three-fourths cup sugar to
one cup of water.
Bring to a boil; cook five minutes.
This will prevent having an over
sweet product for those who like this
fruit just moderately sweet. Add
the sirup left from the first cooking
of the berries to the sirup used for
filling the jars. Or it may be bottled
for fruit juice.
Strawberry Preserve
One quart oj strawberries.
One and one-half cups of biigar,
One-half cup of water.
Place in a saucepan and simmer
slowly until heavy, rich sirup. Pour
into pint jars and adjust the rubber
and lid and then partially tighten.

That love is not a man's hnidcst blow.
You spenk so sweetly; yes, so grand,
That there's nothing to denote that jou

If you really fought for strife and life,
You'd know that love cuts ne'er so deep

Weren't you stationed nt old Camp Dix?
Now, if jou weren't, it's fiinnj to me

And tlint people may shed less sorrowful

But let's talk pf things thnt gitc us joy,
Not of the monotony of love;
Let us hear of truth nnd honesty.

WHEN WOMEN ROUGH IT
ON A VACATION PART.Y
i
They Have a Wonderful Opportunity to Become Fast Friends
or Deep-Dyed Enemies There's Nothing Better or Worse i 'I
AFTEIt nil, there is nothing like va
cation tlmo to tell what kind of a
girl Is really underneath the georgette
crepe dress nnd the sweet-scented face
powder. A letter from three young
girls, asking advice nbout some real
woodsy places to go "places where
jou can rough it" reminds onc of all
the disastrous possibilities that lurk in
the roughing-it vacation.
Now I don't mean for a minute to
discourage anybody from this kind of
nn ideal two weeks. But girls, do
you mind n word of unsolicited ad
vice? When jou choose your enmp
mates, sort of choose carefully. What
I mean to say is, you mny have worked
at the next desk to a girl for two or
three years, you mny hnve spent any
number of nights with another girl In
her home, having her best pink crepe
de chine nightgown virtually forced on
jou and being allowed free sway with
the hairpins. You may hnve done that
fearful thing, snapped beans. Hut
if jou have never gone away on n rough -Ing-it
vacation before, you have still
that most trencherous thing of all to
fnce two weeks with girls who are at
Inst their renl bclves.
When girls go nwny on vncntlons to
gether, ef course, each pays her own
expenses. This introduces a test of
friendship, even if the outing be taken
nt the crowded resort, for the guest
nnd hohtess Inwslof courtesy nnd "giving
in to ench other" nre taken entirely out
ot the party. Each onc has tho "right
to make her qwii suggestions nbout what
to do this morning," "what to do this
afternoon." Thus do many parties come
NEW AND INEXPENSIVE IDEAS
FOR PRETTY SUMMER CURTAINS
UNRLHACIIKD muslin makes very
pretty, cool-looking summer cur
tains nnd bedsprends. This mnterial
should be combined with a colored
fabric, carrjing out the color scheme
of the room, lilnck-iind-white cretonne
with n little pink lose in it mnkes a
very efTt'ctivc border, but any flowered
cretonne or chintz, preferably, with n
cream-colored background, is good.
Hands of plain rose, sage green, 'old
blue or jellow chnmbrny nre nlso very
attrnctive.
The same idens can be carried out
in bedsprends. Muslin has the advan
tages of being inexpensive, nnd easily
laundered. It is n jnrd wide, nud muy
be cut in half if desired. This half
curtain permits more nir to come into
the loom, nt the snmc time hiding the
uglj window frame. The borders should
be fiom two to three inches wide.
They may be sewed on the lower part
of the valance, and on one or both
edges, that is, both sides of the cur
tains. Attractive Itcdspreads
Two widths of the fabric can be used
for a double size becKpiend, nud one
half for vnlnnce. This mnj be made
plain or gathered. Hands may be sewed
on the lower edge of valance, and also
on the scums. Of comse one edge may
be used if desucd. Holster throws
trimmed to match arc exceedingly at
tractive. There is nothing very new iu plain
white scrim curtains, but trim them
with pink, blue, gieen or yellow block
ginghnm, nnd jou will hnve uuusuallj
pretty dmperies.
The rarae ideu carried out in bureau
Ncnrfsi is very good.
Linen-colored crash banded with
chnmbrny mnkes very pretty dining
room draperies.
What to Choose
When hemming curtains pull several
threads, just ns is done for hemstitch
ing. This will make it easier to cut
and hem them evcnlj.
It must be borne in mind that In
order to obtain nrtistic pud restful
looms plain colored or bordered
cuitnins should be used with figured
wallpaper (especially large) designs.

to grief, even where amusements abound4
nnd there Is no dnnger of getting bored.
In the roughing-it vacation, over nnd
above this, there nre two other dangers!
Thnt of getting bored through lack of
dcflnlto things to do, nnd not being a
good sport about having' to put up with.
Inconveniences. '
Hnitn is the truth of the matter. It
is the very exceptional girl who will
acknowledge sho docs not like to rough
it. In fact. I believe most girls honest
ly believe they like to rough it until
they actually see what it is like. The J
rCh to nil i.lrla nrn nut BO constituted.. I
that they can have a good time off froml
everything and depending on their own
resources for amusement.
It takes the girl who can be perfect"
ly happy with a bunch of girls without
a mnn around; who likes to spend an
afternoon loafing out on tho end of a
wharf with n good book, to make a suc
cessful member of the camping party,.
It tnkes a woman who doesn't sit down,
nnd wish she never enme when the wood
stove goes out to be "asked again next
j ear."
If people are congenial and every one
in the party is a real, genuine
"camper," there isn't n vacation under
tho shining sun that holds more lure,
more of the kind of time that sticks
like a little golden square for all days in
your memory. Hut If it's a misfit crowd,
well, you've bumped into disaster 1 You
will have broken perfectly good city
friendships. Yes, roughing it is ' a
I wonderful, wonderful way to find out
what people arc really like!
On the other hand large figured draper
ies can be used very effectively vVith
plain wall covering.
Adventures
With a Purse
T MUST tell you
about the couch
cov
covers I saw todav . for I think they
are a real bargain. I do not necessarily
believe in signs, but, on the other hand,
I am not one to scoff just because I
see n sign. And to mnke short of i the
matter the sign on these blankets, or
couch covers, rends "$3, formerly $o.
They look every bit of it. Soft, fleecy
things they arc of rather subdued colors,
a pnle, dull green pcrhnps, with figures
in gray nnd black. They suggest In
dinn blankets, nnd yet nre much more
subdued iu coloring. You will find one
very convenient to throw over a couch,
or again jou will enjoy the warmth of
one thegto Kimiiiier nlchts nfter nil vour i
blnnkets nre put nwny, nnd we have
onc of those northeast storms.
"Wait until you sec these," said the
young man who is alvvajs so nice nbout
giving me pointers, lor tne adven
tures. "Majbe they won't make your
mouth water!" And they did my word,
how they did ! Luscious fat apricots,
stuffed with delicious nuts. I can't be
gin to tell jou how tempting they looki'
They come onc dozen in u box, and if
jou lire looking for a different confec-
tinu, or if jou arc wanting something
unusual for u company treat, in these
apricots lies jour answer.
How would jou like to have a hand
carved .lapanese table cruinber set?
The one I saw today is n beauty. "What
kind of wood is it?" I asked the sleek
brown-ejed little Japanese who padded
up to nie with n pleaBnnt smile.
"Chestnut," he replied, and then con
tinued, "this is better than a metal
set, because it doesn't cut or roughen
the tablecloth." And he's right. You'll
love this set, which is priced at sixty
cents.
