. T AST week we discussed the canning
s-lot strawberries without sugar
today, we will inn them with just the
smallest amount of sugar possible. Mauy
people do not rare for the canned straw
berry, owing to the fact that It is so
cloringly sweet. So try this way :
Place a three-pound enn of white
sirup in the preserving kettle and add
one can of water. Stir to mix and then
hent slowly to the boiling point. Now
place the prepared berries in a second
'preserving kettle and add to three
quarts of berries one pint of the pre
pared sirup. Simmer slowly until the
terries are very soft and then lift with
a skimmer into sterilized jars and fill
with the berries to the neck of the jar.
Now flit with boiling sirup and adjust
the sterilized rubber and lid and par
tially stal. Place in a hot-water bath
and process for twenty minutes. Re
move and then fasten the jars securely
and then remove to a cool room nnd let
root in a place Hint is free from
grafts.
Wipe the jars and then date .and place
in a cool, dry storeroom.
One housewife writes that she

found that the berries hnd boiled out

Answers Queries
r Mr. Wilson I bought some
jurakin (canned) from one of the
nun., stoics uud wh'n I opeued it
nnd made some pies I did not like it.
It tasted too canny. I make mine
with ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg,
eggs, sugar and milk.
T there any way I could overcome
this tuste, as I do not want to throw
it away, having bought two dozen
cans? I tried openinc nnd emntjing

worse.
I have tried a number of your
recipes and had great success with
-them. I put up quite n few relNhes
from your recipe last summer and
they are eertainlv fine. MBS P. J.

Strawberry Jelly and Jam
From one process. Place in a pre
serving kettle
Onc.and'onc-half-pound can of tchitc
sirup.
Three quart of prepared straw
bcrrict.
Cook slowly until It forms a thick
jelly, or, if you w ish to ue your candy
thermometer, cook until it reaches 1221
degrees Fahrenheit. Now strain the
jelly through n tine hand strainer Into
glasses and place the pulp in other
glasses. This gives jou both the jelly
and the jam from the one process.
To use sugar for canning the berries
place
Tiro cup of sugar.
One and one-half cups of icater

Quite a few complaints come to me
about the wax on the jellies. Now, if
jou heat the parawnx very hot. it will
cause the jelly to ooze through the wax
when it is cold. Heat it just enough to
barely melt ; an old coffee pot or a
saucepan with a good lip is handiest for
wis purpose.

capes?
They arc quite the smartest, newest
thing here for mototing nnd travel, and
seem, for the time, to have eclipsed coat
wraps for such purposes. They really
are made of blankets, soft, warm, wool
blankets, plain on one side and loud
plaided on the other. Plaid side in?
Well, occasionally ; but usually they are
made with the plaid side out, which 1s
us it should be in n season like this
when large and daring designs and
plaids and stripes are in high favor.
Of course, you know by this time that
there is a vast difference between the
rapes of this season and those of last
They are the same onlv in the fact
that they are capes. You may, of
course, wear your last season wrap, but

Jenny skirts show plaited panels, nud
one, in finely plaited blue serge, is fin-Ishetl-on

in walking is very prettv.
"Lanvis shows straisht skirts plaited

Italians Are Not Disliked
Dear Cynthia There was one letter
in unrtiiMifar which has stirred mv heart.
printed seeral months ago, and that was
UIU ICllCI WWII, .l,..tuMa, H. .... ----
oed a certain lieutenant who sne
bought was French and later found put
he was an Italian May I write a few
words to "Anxious' '
"Anxious" I hae read your letter
with Interest and I wish you would
kindly tell me why jou and your people
dislike Italians" I am an Italian girl
anA rutrhan. vnn enn nut me nt ease by
telling me why some people dislike
Italians Are we any different from the
other nntlonnlltles''
Pardon me, "Anxious," If I ask you
of what nationality are you? Vou make
me believe that jou must be from some
nation that Italy has fought against and
that's why jou dislike them so.
I have friends of different national
ities and I hnc met people of all classes,
hnth rich and noor : (rood and bad. I
mean to say If I happen to meet a per
son I dislike of a certain nationality
should I dislike them all?,
Remember "Anxious." there are good
and bad In alt nations. I don't see how
you can like this young man of whom
you write If you dislike his nationality
so I hope, "Anxious," you will please
answer this letter.
AN ITALIAN GIRL.
"Anxious" did not mean to slur the
Italians, as jou must have seen from
subsequent letters. She simply wondered,
w 1th the difference In home customs, If
an American girl would be happy with
a foreigner.
Must Decide for Self
Dear Cynthia I want to ask your
advice about a certain muer. ara u
young fellow of twenty-five and am
In love (I think) with a young slrl of
tuo.itv.tun. Thn eiri IB very oeauuiui,
ha. tito. hrnim vph. golden brown hair,
hpnwn vi.inhia tn match. She is very
well educated, ana lines an ouiuuor
sports, goes skating, coasting, Bkllng,
rides horseback, etc. But Bhe doesn't
care for dancing, movies, theatres, or
any of the thlnga most girls care for
I am Just the opposite. The only skate
I ever had on was once In France, on
some "blano vln" that looked harmless.
I do go coasting with "Peachy' occas
Blonally, but aa for skiing my feet don't
seem to be relations on skis. Now
what I'm driving at is this do you
think two people so utterly different in
tastes should marry? This girl would
rather drive her racer at breakneck
Bpeed than go to a dancing class of
which we are both members. She has
already been arrested twice for speed
ing and the fine paid bv her father.
I couldn't do this, as I am an engineer
working slowly up In my profusalon.
What do jou think. Cynthia? I'lease
advise me, aa I've no one else to go to,

How His Wife Helped
Dear Cynthia I would like to say a
few words to "Bachelor of Thirty-five"
and tell him not to be fnlnt-heartcd, as
"faint heart ne'er won fair lady." In the
first place, 'Bachelor." have you Buch a
thing as nerve? In 1911 I was going
w-lth as nice a little girl as a fellow could
And. and during that time I was out of
work more than In It. yet I still held on
to my little prize until the beginning of
the great war, when I, with thousands
of others, finally landed in the business
of maklnir shells for the Allies. I made
(nnjwhere from 5 to $10 a day, but,
ime ioib oi omcrs, spent it ns raat as i
made It
Vhlrus went on In hla manner until
I pepped the final question to my little
prize and eery thing was O, IC but the
financial end. .
Now James C. sajs a girl of practical
ability would not marry a man who
makes only $1600 a var. Well, when I
tied the, knot I had Just $45 and two

she was a member, unknown to me.
Some of jou readers will say she was

will go through fire to help him. Don't
let the $1500 a year get your nerve. The
rlht little girl Is around, don't- worry,
and she may somer.day soon knock at
the door of your lonely heart and say.

MARRIED MAN.
You are fortunate In having such a
wife, but It would not do to advocate
that sort of thing for every one.
Some men would expeul their wives to
work alwajs. If they stait In on a flfty
flfty basis of support It takes the proper
sense of responsibility from a man's
shoulders, and It Is not good to do so,
as a rule. In jour ca It has worked
out well, but In others It might bo very
bad.

quite regularlj-, and I might saj-, became
simply Infatuated with each other. There
was nothing I would not do to pieuua
her nnd I felt as though my Ideal had
been found. We went to parties to
gether, nnd to dances, until I enlisted In
tho army, and then corresponded with
each other three or four times a week.
During my stay on this side betore ku
Ing overseas, she sent me every conceiv
able present to make my life enjoyable,
and even spent her snare time, wnen she
wasn't doing Red Cross work, knitting!
eocks, mumers, etc, ror me. And tnen
I went to France. Our correspondence
continued and I knew sho was caring
more for me every daj-. Well, about
three months after our separation, a
mutual friend Degan calling on her ; took
her to the shows, dances and other
forms of entertainment and gradually
fell In love with her, too.
Upon returning to the States I could
not get to her last enough ; nnd then
after I saw her my desire -seemed to cool
off. I cannot explain why nor do 1
think I ever will be able to explain. She
had not changed toward me except that
her love was greater, while my love
seemed to vanish. And now the other
chap Is striving to win her love. He has
already asked her to marry him, but
she doesn't love him as she loves me,
although I think she would consent If
she knew that I no longer lov.d her.
Now, Cynthia, the question Is this: 1
do think a: great deal of her as a friend
nnd I cannot hurt her by telling in.
that I do not love her any longer. I
do not call on her regularly . In Jact.
I never go to her home, but I do take
her to lunch lnfrequentlj-. I tried to

A Pretty Apron
To tht Editor of IVemos'e Page:" v
TJear Madam I have found our ques
tions and answers very Interesting. Irt
one of your answers In the Question
Corner I found an apron described -with
straps crossed 'In back and Joining at
the hips to form attractive pockets. Will
you kindly describe mofo fully, as I
should, llko to make one-of these and
cannot understand Just how It should be
done? . MRS, E. K. F.
J am sending a rather rough little pat
tern which Icut to give you a clearer
Idea of the apron you asked about The
strap from tho right shoulder crosses
over to the left hip and Is- cut Into a
square (or pointed, curved or diamond
shaped) piece that forms a pocket when
It Is sewed on the apron. The top, of
course, Is left 'open, to form the pocket.
Does this make It more clear? The
strnps are sewed tight bo that the apron
Is illways closed, and must be slipped on
over the head. It Is a very attractive,
dainty affair when It Is finished. The
one I saw was cross-stltchcd lrt blue and
pink on the pockets and then outlined In
iiluo blankct-stltchtng around the edge
of the apron and the straps.
About Poison Sumac
To thi Editor ol Worn an' J Paget
Dear Madam In one of your Issues
I read with Interest a clipping about
poison Jvy. hnd I nm writing to see
whether you can help me to obtain fur
ther Information. Your nrtlele refers to
"poison sumac." I would like to know
where I can get n detailed description
of this plant (or tree) ; second, how to
distinguish It from "common sumac" (If
there Is any difference) and, third,
whether the Infection results from con
tact with leaves, bark or sap. Perhaps
you can help me by direct reply or by
reference. R. F. WOLFF.
I could not give you the exact In
formation that you ask for, ns It .would
bo too long to print In the column, But
I nm sure vou can get It from encvcln.
pedlaa or flower-reference books, which
vou can see at the Public Library at
Thirteenth and Locust streets. The
clipping says that the Department of
Agriculture and the Public Health Serv
ice at Washington male a Joint Inves
tigation of the subject, so If you cannot
get the Information from books, write
to one or both of these departments, as
they would surely be able to tell you.
Iodine Stains
To the Editor o Woman's Page:
Dear Madam Will you kindly tell me
how to remove Iodine and rust from a
tablecloth; also Iodine stains from the
hands? B, F.
Soak the lodlrre stains In a solution of
hyposulphite of soda and water, and then
rinse thoroughly. Do not let the table
cloth stay In the solution for any time,
but take It out Immediately. If this
does not also remove the rust stains,
soak them with lemon Juice, cover them
with salt and set them out In the sun
to bleach. Add more lemon Juice from
time to time If necessary. Alcohol will
remove tho Iodine from the hands
A Shower for a Bride
To the Editor ol tt'omon's Page.
Dear Madam You have helped others
with their entertaining, so I am coming
to you for a little help. I expect to give
a shower for a girl chum, who was re
cently married and would like a few
suggestions. There will be about twenty
nrenent. hnvn nnd elrls. but not cnunlpfi.
Would like some way to ''break the Ice"
when they first come, ns they are not
very well acquainted. I expect to have
the table decorated with Kewples. with
a big basket In the center with the pres
ents In, and have a ribbon extend to each
guest's place, tied to one of the presents
each with an amusln
K Vi
verse on.
The
guest will draw out the package, read
the verse and try to KUess from It what
Is In the package. What would be good
for refreshments? Would also like to
have you tell me a couple of games to
play during the evening. W. F, K.
I am sending some games that you
could nlav after the alfts ara irlven nut
at the shower. In order to "break the
Ice have a regular shower when all the
guests are assembled. It may cause
some "mess" In tho house, but It will
get everybody acquainted and laughing
right away. Have several Japanese
parasols hunt; head down from the cell
ing, ' and let the bride-to-be and her
fiance stand beneath one of them to
greet tne guests At a. given signal let
some one stanaing near tnem pull a
string that will tear the paper of the
parasol ami let down a shower of con
fetti on them. Then while the rest of
the auests are lauirhlni; at them about
It, slip around and pull certain other
strings that will let confetti down upon
tnem in turn.
Your Idea for the presentation of the
gifts Is very clever. Ice cream and cake
would be enough to have for refresh
ments, or lemonade and sandwiches and
cake, or punch and cakes. If you wanted
something morn elaborate, you could
have n salnd and bread nnd butter sand
wiches, Iced tea and Ice cream and
strawberries.

A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN
WITH GOOD COMMON SENSE
. ' "-:
s Mrs. Harvey Parsons, WJio Went Into a Field Entirely JVcw
to Women, Made Good and Doesn't Expect a Man
to Be Always Polite
ttj DON'T mind the work," remarked
1 the business girl, "but the men are
so horrid I They're so, rude to the girls
in the office."
This girl expects a pollto "good
morning" -from a man as she enters tho
office. She expects him to remove his
hst when he goes up in the elevator
with her. She is always looking for
slights, intentional or unintentional, on
the part -of the men with whom she is
associated In business. Because she
Is a woman she feels that she must be
placed upon a pedestal where every man
mar pay her due homage.
Contrast this kind of girl with
Mrs. Harvey Parsons, of Topeka, Kan.
"A man doesn't have to be chivalrous
openly," says Mrs. Parsons in an in
terview in one of'the current magazines,
"to respect the .woman. Unless women
are willing to overlook little things
with nbsence of intention behind them.
the men will look on their entrance into
men's fields with hostility."
Who is Mrs. Parsons? She is a very
successful newspaper correspondent,
reporting sessions of the Kansas Legis
lature. She entered the work as a
novice, and because she wbb afraid of
being unpopular on account of being a
woman she signed herself "B. II.
Parsons." Of course, the papers
found out later on that it was a svoman,
not a man, who was sending in such
good "stor.ies," 'but they were so good
that she was retained anyhow. Now
she is making anywhere from $175 to
$225 a month.
One good reason for her success is
her sensible viewpoint. She realizes
when she nssumed a man's signature
nnd entered "men's fields" .that she
trnnlil hnve to use a man's way of
looking at things. She has sense enough
not to be offended when some man

had pruno up in her heart for the fflrJ
and the ts eonscfenee-striofcsn because

Dane Oreu to believe something of
Anne that could not be true. Anno has
fallen in tone with Dane Orey, but her
father had chosen a different type of
man tot his daughter. Ills discovery
that his choice. is entirely unworthy
brings on an attack of apoplexy and
sudden death. Anne, who feels that
every one mtoundralatuta her. goes
alone to the city and when GeraJdlfie,
anxious to make amends, goes to the
girl she finds that she has flown.
ANNE went to the city deliberately,
as she did everything once she made
up her mind. She was hungry for life
and she had no idea what to do with her
own. What she wanted Juet now was to
nil up every hour, to have no time at all
for brooding, to cram her days full of
small incidents. With that unerring In
tuition that was hers, augmented per
haps with a great deal of surfsoe knowl-edi-e
that she had amassed under J
aldlne's teaching, she proceeded to Just
what she wanted to do.
She went to one of the large hotels
where she had a room and bnth nlgn up
oi .the thirteenth Boor. It was aeon
stant Joy to her to be whirled up to this
Small square place which out of all the
city was hera. She loved eating In tne
large restaurants, and she went to the
theater every night.
Shopping alone, she began timidly. W
she nnally learned to Juy dlscrlmlnately
and welt. She learned where to go and
sho learned to command respect from
the .saleswomen. She bought onlv good
things, fine hand-embroldered under

Sometimes as she wandered about the

she never saw that light reaching her
from a great distance, that light that,
streaming ahead, spilled Its radlanco

One afternoon after a concert, sne

Without losing one bit of her woman
liness sho came into the men's busi
ness world and became just "one of the
boys." Naturally the men did not IcoV;
upon her cntranco with hostility. The?
coined the nickname "Pars," and ac
cepted her as one of them,
IT HASN'T been necessary for her to
adopt high collars nnd men's neck
ties exclusively. No doubt she'd wear
them If she thought they were becom
ing. She admits that her chief handi
cap is in not being able to put her feet
up on her desk nnd smoke a cigar hut
she knows that it would not doi She
isn't a mannish, swaggering, "Blgbt-o"
kind of person nt all. She's as much ol
a woman, as refined, correctly dressed
nnd as gentle as tho girl in the business
office. She isn't "touchy," that's all.
She realizes that a busy man, just like
a busy woman, has more to think about
than bis manners I
She doesn't go too far, either. She
would resent an Intentional bit of rude
ness or a disagreeable slight as much as
you or I or any other woman but she
isn't forever looking for them. If a man
is rude, if he lets his temper go, if he
swears in her presence, sho probably
finds out the reason for it, and doesn't
blame him. If he lets It go too far, so
doubt she withdraws until ho gets over
it; she doesn't make him worse by re
proaching him.
No wonder she's successful. She
uses her head and her common sense,
and lets her pride take care of itself
and her pride doesn't seem to be the
least bit in need of help I
from htm, the shadowy- brim succeti
fully hiding her. Then as the mutlo
trembled Into sound she turned, and
looked directly Into his eyes with wide,
startled, gray ones. It was Anne, and
Dane Grey was on his feet In an In
stant. Her face was absolutely white and her
eyes dark as he bent over her.nnd she
raised her gray eyes to blue ones to
passionate that her own fell before
them. They were both oblivious of
every one else In the room, and she was
only vaguely conscious of the fact that
he was paying her check and hurra!
her out. She had an absurd feeling
that she would follow him anywhere,
that tomorrows did not matter, yester
days were forgotten, nothing mattered
but the present and the fact that they
were together.
Outside ho helped her Into a taxlcab
and the minute the door closed behind
them she was, In his arms. He kissed
her tendcrlyfind she yielded to his em
brace. For the present there was no
need of explanations, no need of ques
tions and answers and the clearing up
of misunderstandings all that would
come later. For the present they had
each other and. they were alone In the
dusky twilight, that was enough!
