that each housewife feels culled upon
to do her hit to help cut the high cost
of livlnR, let us make nt home the
candy so necessary to the Christmas

The first thins to do is to prepare

It can also be used for dipping and

To Uso Fondant for Dipping

top part of a double boiler nnd fill the
lower part with boiling water. Add
about one tablespoon or boiling water to
the fondant nnd stir continually to re

pieces of nut, candied fruit or halls
of plain-flnvoied fondant. Let dry on
waxed paper or oilcloth -covered board.
When the fondant becomes too dry for
further dipping scrapo from the pan,

To Melt Chocolate for Dipping
Either the plnin or sweet chocolate

Mv Dear Mrs Wilson :
Will j on please ndvise me how to
do up little onions, without either
sugar or inegar, so that thev will
kiep for the winter? Also, why do
the canned peaches lise to thu top
of the jar, while tho juice remains
in the bottom? I would appreciate
vrv much points of canuing, etc.
Thanking jou very much,
MItS. S. K.
S(e tho I'suo of October 125, for late
relishes.
The cause of peaches rising to the
top of the jar nnd the sirup remain
ing below, is caused by the over-rich
or heavy sirup. Peaches do not re
quire a heavy sirup. It is entirely
too late in the season for canning. See
the new soric3 in the spring.

He Wants to Give Her a Ring
Dcnr,Cynthia I would like to nsk
you n few things. About seven months
ngo I went to the wedding of n friend's
brother. I met n follow there nnd since
ho hns wanted mo to go out with him
all tho time. Ho is a good dancer, lie
told mo ho wants to get mo n ring with
mv birthday stono for a Christmas
present. Will you please tell mo If I
should give him one in return? Is it
(glit? And what shall I give him? Ho
does not smoke or chew. Do you think
he likes me He nlwnjs wants to hug

right for me to let him kiss me? What
do you thiuk about it?"
iiL-un-EYED rosix
Do not accept a ling or picco of jew
elry from a man unless you nro en
gaged to him. You should bo engaged
if ,ou allow him to kiss you and cm
brace jou. If you nro to mnrry, all
right.
Shall She Send Present?
Dear Cjnthia Would it be proper
to send n Christmas gift tcr n boy friend
of mine? I have seen him only four
times, but have received a lot of letters
and phono calls.
I am n girl of fifteen and like him,
as he is very nico nnd mannerly. Mother
lias seen him twice. lie always asks me
on tho phone if I want to talk to his
mother, but I nlwnys object. Is this
the right tiling to do?
lie lives quite a distanco fiom where
I live or I am sure I would see him
oftener.
What would be nice to give him.
Slato a few gifts. M. S.
No, dear, do not send this hoy n
present. Let anything of that kind
(omo fiom him first. It is a mistake
to encourago letter wilting with so new
an acquaintance. But take jour
mother's advice. If he telephones and
asks jou to speak to his mother do not
lcfuse, that would not he very respect
ful. Send the Cards
D"ar Cynthia I certainly enjoy
reading the letters in your column
those "lovelorn" ones especially. They
are numerous sometimes, hut rarely
without their touch of pathos. Your
advice is wonderful. You must feel
thut jou do a great deal of good work,
and I sure am glad you hnvo a sense of
humor where would Cynthia's column
bo without it?
My little worry is only this (somehow
I manage to govern my silly heart by
my more sensible head) :
I am n girl of seventeen and can't
decide whether to send the boys my age
and older my engraved Xnias cards.
There are just n few lines expressing the
season's greetings on them.
Personally I don't like to send postal
cards, but for the boys do you think my
own cards would be too formal, or less
personal than the caids with my name
signed .'
That's why I like engraved cards
they can bo sent to most any one. But
some think they re old for n girl my
age. 1 icallv Hon t sec anj distinction,
that's whj I'm writing to jou.
AYhy don't jou publish jour pictuie
in the column for jour readers' Xmas
pieseiit? I think it would bo fine. I'm
crazy to know what j on look like.
Here's to n Merry Xmas, n llnppv

Adventures With a Purse
FROM tho beginning of paper money
more years ago than I personally
can possibly calculate, women have nt
Christmas time presented their men folk
with leather wallets. I suppose, if I
were so minded, I could write a little
history of wallets, nnd how they finally
attained their present perfection. But
I doubt if you would be interested. For
if jou have mndc up your mind to give
somebody you know n soft leather wal
let, you will be much more interested
in knowing where you can get the best
value for the money you have planned
on spending. So it is that I want to tell
you of n shop that is quite well known
for its leather goods. Not only nre you
sure that here the pi ices arc fair, jou
also have tho comforting assurance that
the quality is right. This shop has a
large assortment of wallets, with prices
beginning ns low as $4.50.
I hnve been shopping around for rib
bon for my Christmas boxes, and have
sie led with legiet over the old dnjs
when one could buy u bolt of ten ynids
of nice red ribbon for ten cents. The
best aluo I hnve seen is n nnrrow red
lihbon, with a good satin finish for
thirty-eight cents for a ten-yard bolt.
This means only a little over three cents
a ynrd, and I doubt if jou can find as
good a value elsewhere.
There was a time when, if I were
feeling particularly well disposed to
ward tho honorable Peter, I would
trudge home with a pair of black silk
socks in my hand. I always boughtthe
same brand, because of their obvious
superiority, and I nlw-ys paid fifty
cents per pair. The price I would be
obliged to pay these dnys is 51.0a, so
when I feel well disposed toward
Honorable Peter now, 1 trudge homo
empty handed, and patiently darn the
socks we had decided to discard! Just
the same, at Sl.Co these socks of which
I speak are still one of the best values
I know of. They not only look like
good, heavy silk, they also wear well.
So, if vou want to make your Christ
mas gift to the man of your house a
pair of socks, I would strongly advise
you to see these.

Gifts for Girl Friends
To the Editor of Woman's I'aot
Dear Madam I nm n. boy sixteen
years of age. and would like., to give
Christmas gifts to fivo of my girl ac
auaintanccs. As I have no idea of what Is propor
to give them, I am going to nsk you to
Miggcst some gifts that you would think

You can give one girl a box of candy.
another one a bouquet of flowers, a third
n silver pencil, n fourth a leather
covered engagement calendar and the
fifth a pretty picture or calendar. It
any of them plajs or sings jou could
give her some sheet music, five or six
pieces of ten-cent music would make a

a tin box, oval shaped, nnd covered
witli pale green silk. The edges are
decorated with purple flowers and gob

of purple grapes.
WOUNDED SOLDIER WANTS
TO BUY HIS FIANCEE A GIFT
But Because He Is Still in the Hospital She Will Not Give Him

he probably exclnimed enthusiastically
to his "buddies." "Peach jam she
remembered that I like it. Well, what
do jou know about that!" In tho
hospital thoso lettcis ntid gifts from
her were tho only things that saved
perhaps his life, most certainly his
spirit (his "morale"). Now, hn still
appreciates it, but ho wants to
grow up. Ho is beginning to bo n man
again, just like tho men in the big,
busy, hard-working world outside the
hospital. He wants to take n man's
responsibilities, get ready to do h man's
work.
T)OOn boy I He's suffered so," tho
t soldier still in the hospital hears
over nnd over. Cach time somebody
pities him," he has one of two feelings.
Kither he pities hitriself nnd feels nbuscd
Lnt being in tho hospitnl so long, and
nun so rnucu, ami mc ucsl part oc
his life gone, nnd so on until ho is
ready for self-pitying tears, or ho reacts
nnd feels "silly," mortified nnd em
barrassed. If he pities himself, it
won't do a bit of good to encourage
him in it. And if. ns the enso seems
to he with this, soldier who wrote, hn
resents being pitied nnd coddled. It will
only worry him, mnkc him discontented
nnd restless to get out and prove that ho
doesn't need compassion.
A grown mnn in his full strength nnd
henlth would hate to bo treated like
a defective. 'You can't expect much
of him. poor thing 1" Well, this KoV

bones used 177" be, or a limp instead
of the steady strido that his fiancee
never used to be nblo to keep step with.
And ho hates to be reminded of that
misfortune at every turn. The time lias
como for him to stand alone, to begin
getting back to that Ilfo where other
people depend upon him, and he de
pends upon no one. Tho sooner ho is
allowed lo try his own strength nnd
throw away the crutches of sympathy
nnd mlnistmtion, the sooner he wi)l

first daring, courageous drop of a young
bird out of its high nest, not entirely

will come true or not, but willing to
take a wild clianco in order to take care
of itself instead of being a "burden to
the rest of tho family.
