THE GOODLY FRU
MOST Americans cherish among
their dearest memories of child
hood the preserves, the Jams
and the Jellies that were made by
some wise old-fashioned housekeeper
from receipts that "came down In the
family." It Is Just as possible to
make such preserves now as It ever
■was—more so, If anything, for one
does not have to depend on the old
fashioned preserving kettle and leis
ure to give days at a time to the work.
To-day one can have enameled pre
serving kettles In two or three dif
ferent sizes, and either buy a large
quantity of fruit when it is at its best,
making a business of preserving for
perhaps two days, or do the work a
little at a time, as fruit and oppor
tunity present themselves.
Which method is preferable depends
•entirely on the circumstances of the j
housekeeper and what she wants to j
make. If it is a case of pickles or
catsup or currant Jelly it will prob
ably be best to take a day off and do
It, for most receipts for these things
are Intended for making large quan
tities, and the process itself is a trifle
complex and needs all one's attention
for awhile. It saves time to make
pickle brine or vinegar, or any one
of the various fruit wines and cordials,
like currant wine, cherry or black
berry brandy or kirsch, in quantity,
because they have to be kept stand
ing about for awhile and looked after
from time to time, and it is Just as
easy to do that with a gallon as with
half the amount; moreover, fruit Is
cheaper by wholesale. In the case of |
currant Jelly, it ought to be made
early in the season because later the !
currants will be likely be over-ripe
and as the sagacious foreign-born
cook of an inexperienced housekeeper
put it, "fruit what is ripe cannot make
de yelly yell." Even these luxuries,
however, can be made in the tiniest
apartment if one knows how, and
cares to take the time.
Jellies and Preserves
The average family, nevertheless, is
more concerned with preserves that
Cannot be duplicated by commerce—
plain fruit jellies, preserved fruits and
the various kinds of jams; and these
can be made in small quantities just
as well and more conveniently. For
the ordinary preserving receipts you
need an enameled kettle that will hold
several gallons—nearly or quite as
large as a soup kettle—but an enam
eled saucepan that will hold from two
quarts to a gallon is all that most
women will need to stock a whole cup
board with nice things. The one im
portant point is that it must be enam
eled—not metal.. No fruit juices or
pickles can be successfully cooked in
metal.
Having secured the kettle, which
should have a cover also of enameled
ware and spoons for stirring and meas
uring, likewise enameled, see to it
that the receptacles for your fruit
Rre also of that material and not of
tin or other metal. To leave straw
berries, after hulling, in a tin pan for
several hours preceding the cooking,
Is not going to Improve the taste of
your jam. It pays to have several
shallow pans and plates of enameled
ware for berries, for if they are left
for any length of time in a deep large
dish where they do not get the air
they mould. Have also a measuring
cup of enamel or glass—the former is
of course more durable—for you may
have to use that cup in measuring
'••sit. juice or vinegar scalding hot. A
tong-handleft dipper, and a skimmer,
are also useful in preserving, and a
eollander is almost a necessity.
It is not economical to skimp on
sugar in any sort of canning process.
There is no better rule than the old
reliable one of a pound of sugar to a
pound of fruit; and if in addition you
take care that the fruit is not in the
least overripe you will be on the road
to success. Jelly cannot be made at
all with overripe fruit, and for this
reason many wild fruits such as plum,
fox grapes and even barberry and wild
cherry, are better for jellies than cul
tivated fruits—they are not so sweet.
A quantity of these added to the ordi
nary fruit of the market will often

improve Jelly. Crabapple Jelly Is good
for the same reason. Currant and rasp
berry is better than raspberry alone.
Gooseberry Jam
The following receipt for gooseberry
Jam is as good for any other fruit,
1 and can be depended upon: but It
j should be said in passing that the Eng
j llsh gooseberry Jam which we Import
owes some of its dellciousness to the
I English gooseberry, and this fruit does
] not do nearly as well in America.
| However. American homemade goose
berry Jam is good. Trim the berries
and weigh them, allowing a pound
of sugar and the Juice of one lemon to
each pound of fruit. Bring to a boll
and skim. Cook until It Jellies on a
I plate, stirring often: it ought to be
| done over a slow fire; if on a gas
I range, use the purfle plate or the sim
-1 merlng burner. In an hour or less the
j Jam should be ready to strain through
acollander and put into jars or glasses.
Either put a round of cut paper over
the top, large enough to turn up
slightly round the edge and keep out
every bit of air, and tie another round
tightly down over the top, or use in
stead of the inner paper a layer of
paraffin, heated and put on while hot
—which is better. The paraffin can
be used over and over again. For
apricot jam you may use two and a
half pounds of sugar to three of fruit,
but never reduce the quantity of sugar
for Jam below this. A good time to
make jam is before breakfast in the
morning or Immediately after, while
the day is still cool.
Good combinations are lemon and
rhubarb, using the chopped rind of a
large lemon and half an ounce of sliced
bitter almonds to one and a half
pounds of rhubarb; gooseberry and
j currant, one cup of currant Juice to
three pounds of berries; apple and
quince (you can use a pint of quince
preserve juice to a pound of sliced
apples); apricot and plDm, and cherry
and raspberry. On general principles
use a pint of the tarter fruit Juice to
a pound of the sweeter. Scotch orange
marmalade is made like jam, but the
imported article owes its flavor to the
fact that the Seville orange is used.
You can cook fruit without any
heat at all, after bringing it to a boil.
Use the sugar and fruit, pound for
pound, with half as much water;
make a syrup of the sugar and water,
put the fruit in it, bring to a boil,
pond into deep plates, cover with sheets
of glass and set in the hottest sun for
three days, then put in jars and seal.
Canning Corn
Corn and some other things, includ
ing berries, can be canned with little
trouble if you have a fishkettle or small
enameled boiler that will hold several
cans. Cut the corn from the cob and
pack into the cans until they are so
full you can just get the cover down;
set them in the boiler, bring to a boil
slowly and let them simmer for two
or three hours. In the case of ber
ries an hour would be enough. Then
set the boiler off as it is and leave
till cold.
Spiced fruits are delicious and have
■ ™ erit of keeping very well un
sealed. Some day when grapes are
cheap, take a basket or two, remove
from the stems, wash thoroughly by
putting in a collander and letting water
run over them, then put in the pre
serving kettle without any water, add
a cup of sugar to an-ordinary basket
of grapes unless they are very ripe,
when less will do, and about as much
cinnamon, ginger, allspice and cloves
as you would use in making a spice
cake. The exact a/rjoiyjt is h»/-d t<>
give ucvuuse the taste of families
varies, but it is better to have too lit
tle than too much. Add also to a
pound of grapes one lemon sliced.
Cook until it is like Jam; a double
boiler is less trouble after it once
boils, as it cannot burn then. When it
is thick, strain through a strainer
fine enough to keep out the seeds, and
keep in an earthen jar or a small pail
of enameled ware. Many preserves
change their flavor If exposed to the
light in glass jars, which is why a
dark closet or an opaque container
should be used. If there is juice left
over from any of these receipts, it can
be used in making lemonade.

8637 Btonao with Deep Cuffs,
34 to 44 bust.
Women who are seeking dainty, soft
blouses for summer wear will like this
one made as it ie on the figure. Those
who like the tailored finish and the mili
tary idea will be pleased with the straight
high collar and the pockets, for they com
pletely transform the garment and give
it an entirely different aspect. In which
ever way it is treated, however, it is a
pretty, attractive blouse, equally correct
tor wear with the odd skirt and to be used
as part of a gown. The full fronts are be
coming and the deep cuffs are new and
smart and the edges that meet at the front,
allow a most effective use of small
buttons connected by means of cords.
On the figure, the material is crfipe de
chine in the new sand color and pearl
buttons are u«ed. The military waist
is made of voile, but it would be smart
for any seasonable material and either in
white or in sand color or in a color to
match the skirt or suit. The back is
extended over the fronts to give the sug
gestion of a yoke and when the rolled
over collar is used, the fronts are cut out

STUBBORNNESS
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have been keeping company with
a girl of my age for about half a year.
I love her dearly and she returns my
love. Now, Miss Fairfax, am dis
gusted with her on account of her
egotism. Every time I suggest some
thing she never gives in. Could you
tell me how I can make her change
without hurting her feelings.
B. R. L.
The girl is a little selfish and spoil
ed —and stubborn, too, no doubt. But
perhaps you are a bit dictatorial and
Inclined to fail in consideration of her
tastes. Why not make a little "fifty
fifty" agreement, whereby each will
take turns at having your own way.
Talk it over with her and see if you
cannot make her feel that It is fair
to be more equal partners.
FAR TOO YOUNG
DEAR MI Sri FAIRFAX:
I am eighteen and desperately in
love with a girl two years my Junior.
About eight months ago a quarrel
separated us. But I knew she loved
me. We differ in nationalities, but I
love her all the same. Would you ad
vise me to try and gain back her sin
cere love, or would you advise differ
ent? ANXIOUS (S. B.)
I would advise you to attend to your
work, whether that be studying or
earning your living. You are far too
young for serious thought of love and
marriage.
PERFKCTI/Y PROPER
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am seventeen, and a stenographer.
Recently my employer's son whom I
have known for eight months to be
an honorable young man, asked me to
go to a show with him. I accepted his
offer. We were accompanied by his
sister. Now, while in conversation
with a friend of mine was told this
was improper.
CONSTANT READER.
You could have no better proof of
the respect your employer's son feels
for you than the fact that he felt you
were a fine enough girl to be taken
out with his sister. He paid you a
delicate and pleasing compliment.
ASK YOUR MOTHER
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am not twenty and engaged to a
man of twenty-one. Now, through
a little misunderstanding with my
mother, he does not call on me at
my home. In the past I have al
ways given in my full salary at home,
namely til, and now he wants me to
keep $6 each week and give J5 for
my board. I cannot do this, as my
mother needs every cent I can give
her. He says we will part on account
of it, if I don't do as he asks.
I love him and he loves me. I try
to do as he asks me, to keep his love.

JUSTINE R.
The man has absolutely no right to
dictate what you shall do with your
salary. A good daughter makes a good
wife—and he ought to respect your
desire to help your own people. But
on the other hand, a girl has some
rights in the money she earns and
if she is contemplating marrying she
ought to be purchasing a few things
toward a modest trousseau. Talk the
whole thing over calmly with your
mother and see if you cannot work out
an arrangement that will be fair to
her and to yourself.
