&ftS. WILSON CANS PEACHES
IN THREE GRADES OF SYRUP
SnwrZZ Fruit Preserved in Thin Liquid, While Larger Ones
Require Something Heavier Recipe for Marmalade

W3ILK peaches may be canned I with
out sugar. It it best, if roil can
obtain the required amount of sugar,
to conserve them In n sirup.
Canning Teaches Without Simp
TJse free-stone penrhw If you desire
them cut in hnlvc. cling stones may be
sliced or cnnnnl whole.
To cut the peaches In half use a sharp
fcnlfe and cut clear to the stone, then
take each half of the peach in the hand
and twist the left hand from you and the
right hand toward yon. The peach will
separate clean nnd without softening
the pulp. Now remove the stone and
then with a sharp, thin knife, peel nnd
drop in a pan of cold water until you
hare a sufficient number of peaches
ready to fill the desired number of jars.
Peaches should be packed In the iars
and then fill to overflowing with plain
boiling wnter. Wipe the Jar. ad lust the
rubber and partially tighten. Place in
hot-water bath and process for thirty
minutes. Hcmove and seal securely and
tore in n cool, dry plnee. Peaches con
- served in sirup should be graded. I e
small peaches with n thin sirup, medium-sized
peaches with a medium sirup
and large fancv peaches with n heavy
sirup. Tills will allow you to use the
thin sirup fruit for pies, tarts and pud
dings, the other two grndes for break
fast and dessert fruit'.
Grade the fruit into three izo. For
smnll peaches prepare as directed. I'.icl,
into quart jars and fill to overflowing
with the sirup made in the following
manner and then adjust the rubber and
lid nnd process for thirty minutes, lie
move, seal securely and then store in a
cool, dry place.
Thin Sirup
riace In a saucepan
Two cups of while corn lirup.
One cup of granulated sugar.
Two cupi of tenter.
Stir to di'solve the sugar and then
bring to a boll and cook for five min
utes and ue.
Now if the family is smnll the pint
Jar will be found useful to the best ad-
vantage for the medium -sized penches.
Prepare the peaches as directed in can
ning without Migar anil then till into
the sterilized jar Fill with medium
grade sirup and then adjust the rubber I
and lid nnd partially tighten. Process
for twent.-live minute in hot-water
bath. Hcmove and then fasten the lid
securely and then store in a cool, dry
place.
Medium Grade Simp
Tiro ninl one-half cupi of sugar.
One and one-half ein of irater.
One cup of white corn simp.
Stir to diss-ohe the sugar and then
bring to a boil and rook for five min
utes, then pour over the peaches to
fill the jar to overflowing.
' Heavy Sirup,
Put the lnrge peaches in the fol
lowing heavy sirup :
Three and one-half cupi of sugar,
. One ami one-half cupi of irntcr,
Tieo cups of corn sirup.
Stir to dissolve the sugar and then
bring to a boll and cook for five min
utes. Prepare the large peaches as di
rected for the small and medium-sized
ones and then pack into ruiurt jars.
Vni tn nvprflnwltii- i-ltli nlrilfi nml Minn
adjust the rubber mid lid and partially! ure the pulp end return to the pre
seal. Process for thirty-five minutes serving kettle and to every quart of
in a hot-water bath. Remove, seal he-
.. Gurely and then More lu a cool, dry
place.
Every year I have many women write
rhe that they followed the directions to
tighten the lids partinlly after placing
in .the fruit, but when the jars were
taken from the water bath the siruii
nnd sometimes even the penches were
in tne water tmtn.
Now carefully note : to tighten the
lids on the screw enp jars partially,
place the lid in position and screw Just
as far as it will go without forcing,
nd then give the lid one full turn back
'to unfasten.
The reason this is necessary is thnt
when the water bath is boiling It also
heats the sirup to the boiling point nnd
thus creates a steam, uhich, if not
allowed to escape, would burst the jar.

A Dinner Engagement
Having fcnotou each other from
chlhlhood, Diana and Jiilloit 0113 de
cide to separate after three years of
married life. They have missed the
blj thrill m life, and each feels that
there must be romance still waiting
somewhere in the world Diana pur
posely drops out of the old life so that
she will not meet Julian. She decides
to keep fust 0110 friend, Alice Irwin,
and pledging Alice to secrecy, she tells
h'r obouf the job she has taken as
designer in the drc3mak(np eslabllji
ment of Madame JfaMI. While she is
with AlUci Dan Bishop, a friend of
Jim Irwin's, calls.
TAN BISHOP was big, wonderfully
I although Julian waa six feet tall, this
, man was so much larger In every way
that besldn him Julian would have ap.
peared almost slender. Ho had a deep
voles and he spoke with a delicious
drawl. When ho laughed, his eyes
launched first, as though he wnlted until
the others saw the funny situation and
Joined with him. Diana liked him Im
mediately. She liked also the way he
dt-ferreM to her in the conversation. It
nmiiswl her to watch Alice's little cf-
I forts to Interest them in each other, and
when Diana finally rose to go, and Dan

way announced that he was taking her
home, she knew that Alice was delighted.
She rather liked the way ho took
charge of her. ana woman-like, sho real
ized that this very dominant streak lu
him was calling out something different
in her own make-up. It was nlco to lean
back In tho taxi and talk about her
self. It waa nice to know that he wat
Interested In what she was doing.
"You really like going to un ofllci
everv day?" he asked.
"Yw. because I like my work. It's
interesting."
"Careers for women seem to bo tni
thine now. One hardly ever finds n
woman who Is contented with a home
life and babies and a husband who paya
the bills."
"Oh, but that Isn't true," Diana said
quickly. "When a woman works sho is
alwava substituting a career for some
thing else. It doesn't mean that she
prefers to work in an office : not at all
Take the young girl who works. In nine

rebel and hnto it all "
"But take the women, older women,
not young girls, wno aro maaing careera

Diana felt tho blood leap to her cheeks
in the friendly darkness of tho taxi. Of
course Dan Bishop know nothing about
her He would not know that, until n
short ttme ago. she had not known
what It waa to work as she was working
now.
"No one never known Just why a
woman worka. 8ometlmes It is becauso
she must In my caso It Is Just that.'
I beg your pardon, I flldn't mean
to bo personal." 'ho said quickly,
later they had stopped before her apart-
ment and Mr Bishop wan helping her
out. They Btood a momont at tho on-
' trance. Mr Bishop with his hat In his
hand, his eyes bent on her interestedly.
I "I hepo you'ro going to let nm oee

her hand to him and his lingers closod

If you are really In your right mind

I don't think you are.
Tho reason, I am led 'to believe, is
that you aro so crazy over the girls and

most striking historical Illustrations of
the phlegmatic dcllbcratencsa of long
fingers Is that furnished by Fablus, tho
Roman general, who patiently waited
for months before risking n battle with
Hannibal, although acorrs of apparently
favorable opportunities offend thom
selvos. No short-lingered Individual
alive could have borne the loud accu
sations of cowardice which some of the
generals of his own staff were making
against Fablus. Ho plodded along, bid
ing his time, without allowing anything
to Interfere with his plans. And when
at last he did strike, Hannibal's army
wai routed and Home was saved. All
history acknowledges that If Fablus had

of "Cunctntor" (Delayer), Hannibal
would have been victorious and Home
Irretrievably lost.
Columbus was long-fingered ; nnd,

companions to turn back when they
thought they would never come in sight

RITA "MARRIED MONEY"
And Her Manner Rather Hurt HOr Old Friends Who H)'
Sympathized With Her When bho Was Poor Enough
to Respect the Dollar Bill
IT WAS the afternoon of Katharine's
llttlo informal tea nnd the girls were
all sitting on .tho porch discussing
everything they could think of.
Some of them were "working girls"
who had hurried off from tho office as
early ns possible to como to tfio tea.
Some of them wcro girls who had
never worked and tyjd always had
plenty of clothes and the wherewithal to
buy them.
And some of them were girls who
had never worked and had never had
very many clothes or very much with
which to buy them.
But they were all good friends; nnd
the ones who had understood all about
the ones who hadn't, so there was never
any feeling of that disagreeable kind
among them.
MOST of .the interest that day
centered In Rltn. tho latest bride,
who had been mnrricd-only nbout three
or four months.
Before her mnrrlage Rita had been
one of those who hodu't; she had never
done any work, that is, the Kind tnat
