The Directions for Making
Jelly From This Fruit
and Two Other Delicious
Spreads
By MUS. M. A. WILSON
ConrtoM, me. bu Mrs. U. A. Wilson.
All IHtMi Jltstrvrd.
rpHE quince is the fruit of n tree
of the apple and pear family, nnd i
A true native of southern Europe
and Asia. It is cultivated in all tern
perate climates.
The ancient Greeks and Romans'
accredited the quince with many i
healing powers. There is a legend
of a beautiful Grecian maid who ,
discovered the true secret of making
marmalade, and this was afterward
served by the maids of Athens to
their sweethearts after their con-,
quests. i
The name marmalade is from the '
Portuguese, which is marme'o.
The quince is a fruit that cannot
be eaten in its raw state, but isj
most delicious in jams, jeny, mar-
rnalade and quince butter, and vies
-with apple and guava as the best
fruit for jelly making.
The ?arge, smooth fruit is the '
first choice, and it must be care-'
fully handled as it bruises quickly;
parts which are bruised vcry rapidly
discolor to a dark brown. To keep
the quinces any length of time wipe
them frequently with a dry cloth,
and set on a wire tray so that there
may be a free circulation of air
around the place, and place in n cool,
dry and well-ventuatcu room.
The seeds of the quince are rich
In a mucilage-like matter, and theyj
form a jelly-like paste when soaked
in water.
Quince Jelly
Wash the quinces and then cut
in half, and remove the seeds and
cores and pare. Cut the pared quince
in inin slices aim men jjiui:e in a
t 1, . i ' l il 1 J
bowl, and cover with cold water.
Place the parings and seeds of the
quinces in a preserving kettle, and
cover with cold water. Bring to a
boil and cook until the parings are
Very soft. Mash frequently and turn
Into a jelly bag, and let drip.
Measure the juice and return it
to the preserving kettle. Bring to
ft boil and cook for ten minutes.
Then add three-quarters cup of
sugar for each cup of juice. Stir to
thoroughly dissohe the sugar and
then bring to a boil and cook for ten
niinutes. Pour into sterilized glasses.
Cool and cover with melted paraffin !
and store in the usual manner fori
jellies. I
Now place the q-inces which were ,
out into thin slices and cover with
cold water in the preserving kettle,
covering the sliced quinces with
water two inches above the fruit in
ithe kettle. Bring to a boil and then ,
cook slowly until the sliced quinces
arc soft. Drain off the juice and
then measure the cooked fruit. Re
turn to the kettle and add
One quart of cm pur,
One cup of water ,
to every three quarts of cooked
sliced quinces. Place on stove and
cook slowly until a very thick jam.
Fill in sterilized jars, and adjust
the rubber and lid and seal. Process
in hot-water bath for fifteen min
utes?, and then cool and store.
Use the liquid strained from the
cooked quinces for jelly, following
the rule for quince jelly.
Roman Quince Marmalade
Wash the quinces, and then pars
and cut into thin slices. Place in a
preserving kettle and cover with
cold water. Place on the stove and

you, Anxious. Half of it's true, but
ilon't you think. U'h more interesting
not to know which half?
Here's to "Judy"!
Jlv dear Cynthin May a very busy
girl offer n few humble opinions iu re
cord to some of the topics under dis
cussion in your most interesting column?
First of oil. I should Hue to express
my npprovnl of "llenuen J. It's" letter.
Isn't it refreshing to read something
like that nfter the ninny pessimistic let
ters thnt so many of the men write.' 'lo
lead those lnournful lamentations about
the "painted dolls," ami so forth, one
might think that we American girls
hud degenerated into selfish, immoral
creatures with no interests in life but
Iduvpleasuro.
I should like to tell you n few things
ubput myself and then ask you if. you
do not tliink tlmt I nm one of thousands
of educated, intelligent, whole-hearted
American girls who are to be found
reverywheie. It is not with conceit.
Cynthin. but with n vast amount ot
jut pride that I describe myself iin?
personally ns the typical American girl.
As fo my personal appearance, I shall
say little.'' I nm tall, with a well-built,
athletic figure, I nm laying no claims
to beauty, but nt least I can sny that
my nose Is straieht, my chin firm, nud
mv complexion clear. ,
My interests In llfi m-e many and
vnried. Of course, J love dmicing, as
every' normal young person does. I nm
also M-ry fond of all out-of-door sports,
especially hiking, canoeing nnd motor
ing. Ono of my favorite pursuits is
reading not only the "best sellers."
but nlso the classes, history, biography
nnd even psychology. I have high Ideals
Iu regard to art, music and literature,

In something else. Why don't you go
to work?" , '
"But I don't know anything." J
"You can learn." II
"What, for Instance?"
"Do you think you would like nur
lng?" Julia's lovely1 brow wrinkled. "I
don't know. I hnve never thought ohout
It. I might."
MartLa leaned across the table.
"Julia, my dear, life is just beginning
for you, you're not waked up ni yet,
and when you do wake up you're going
to look back on tliis experience as
something tlmt helped 'you. I know(
you don't Lcliove tLat now, but you
will some time. You're young, life it
still nn adventure, and, my dear, you're
beautiful so mnny girls haven't that."
"Martha, just now I can't think of
anything but the fact that I wasn't big
enough to hold Dan. K I could forget
that, I could go on."
"You will forget it nfter you have
stnrled woi-k. You haven't known
enoiigh' people, Julia. You hnve lived too
juucli'in your own narrow circle. You
need to get out in the world now and
bm independent. If you think you'd
Iffco nursing, I can get you Into one ot
the hospitals, but you want to be sure ;
some girls can't stand It nt all.
Julia raised her proud little head.
"1 could stand it," she. said.
"Good! That's the spirit. Then go
In U nnd work so hard that jou can't
jlo anything but fall on your bed nt
night exhausted. Work has cured many
heartaches ns real as jours. And woru
is what you need ; it will tnkc your lnind
off your own troubles and give It to
others who need it worse than you
do."
Julia had not thought of work ot
Into. She nnd Lucy had always had
plenty at home never an abundance ot
everything, but always plenty for clothM
nnd necessities. Lucy had, gone away
to boarding school for two years after
a great deal of persuasion on her pnrt,
but Julia, although she wanted morn
than anything to go, hadn't thought it
worth the family nrgumentB thnt wore
necessary when either of the girls wnnt
ed to do anything. Julia had always
wanted to do something, but this wish
had been discouraged by both hdr father
and mother.
"It isn't ns if you had a marked
talent for anything," her mother would
say. Mrs. Grant wanted to go nlong
in the same rut without any Clirtuge,
and she was quite confident thnt both
her daughters would marry well.

the first flicker of interest into her
life. She hadn't the fnintcst idea of
what a hospital training would bo like,
but it was Julia's creed to like to do
things for others. She had dono too
much for Dan Carson, only that she
hadn't realized it as j'ci.

j Add to tlje nLoye a vast amount of

of ISoheniianisnr, nnd you have "The
American Girl" the girl who is to be
found ever where in this wonderful
country of ours, in our schools and Col

even the department stores and fac
tories. Of nil the Loys wlio say tlie girls
think they are slow, and also of the
girls who wail tlint the boys "pass them

I like to auk thisuestion : Do jou try to
make yourself an interesting compnnionV
?o one likes n "blank" wlio cannot
tulk intelligently on any topic except
tlie wontlier or the preserves mother is
putting up.
My advice to you is to read more,
trnvel nhout more, cultivate n sense of
humor, and deyelop your personality to
its greatest extent. Strive also to guia
fsocial courage mix with other people
at every opportunity and don't bo nfrnid
to assume the initiative occasionally.
Above all, be natural and sincere With
out trying to imitate others. A big,
broad personality is the greatest nsset
one may have in this life. Without it,
success is, iu tlie social world, impos
sible, nnd iu the Lusiness nnd profes
sional world ImprohaLlc. Tt is tLat Un
explainable nnd irresistible something
which attracts us to people iu spite of
their physical characteristics.
TLero are lots of otlier tliiugs, Cyn
tliia, of which I should like to writ,
but neither my time nor your space will ,
I permit a longer letter at piesent. I
Lope some of the boys und girls wlio are
"true-blue" Americans will write and
set fortli their opinions nbout
