like fresh ones all the year, take nice.
- ripe red currents but not overripe.

Apricot Jim.
Skin, stone. and cut in halves six
pounds of apricots. Cover them with
_ . four and a half pounds of sugar and
.Jplace in a dish over night. in tho
morning put them in the preserving
. pan, with kernals blanched and halved.
. and boil gently for about threoquart-
ers of an hour or until fruit is done.
The kernels mite a great improve-
ment for either lpums or apricots and
they are well worth the trouble.

Remembering Men Home on Leave
‘ Will Want to See‘ Their Friends
A Looking Their Very Boot.
Men in the service always look for-
ward to their leave as a brief holiday,
and as one of the French girls said, “If
we do not have light and music for our
soldiers when they come back, and if
we do not wear our prettiest clothes
and smile always, then our men are
discouraged and depressed. and it
makes it hard for them to go back and
light for us" Women are realizing
this more. arr}. :1: r. , as ‘he days go by,
and that is why, although they‘sre
turning the attention to war work in
increasing numbers, nevertheless they
have got lost interest in clothes. and

has boiled a few minutes longer. Rub
her and top should then be put into po-

‘ minutes in a, hot water bath. Straw-i

them in any proportion desired.
Rhubarb Conserve.
Four cuptuls rhubarb cut in small
pieces, one can diced pineapple, juice
not one lemon, two oranfis, ‘pulp and

CHINESE DO IT, T00.
A department store was opened re-
cently in Shanghai, China, and has
been such a success that it will stay
there. The Chinees are going to thlsl
department store rather than to
(pmusement places, finding it more. in-
; ieresting to walk around and pick up
bargains than to patronize the theater.
They are credited with buying things

co'rps'ilnli’orin is replaced by a frock
of delightful feminlty. Simple they
am-tltese,irocks of toddy-but very
charming, with a distinction about
them that is often lacking in more
elaborate costumes. Extravagance is
frowned upon, but the needs of the
hour call for fewer frocks and the ex-
penditures of a little more time and
thought.
Eome very, intorrsling‘inodels have
been created this spring. For instance
one frock shows a new :‘kirt drapery.
and the combination of satin and cloth
is particularly good. The'dranery b9
gins at the left hip and falls to the
right side of the frock. The frock it-
self. lwth its simple kimono sleeved
bodice is of dark green satin and the
collar, cuffs, belt and facing are of a
green cloth ‘th bit lighter in shade.
Another frock of war time simplicity
but verysmart is a one-piece street
dress of blue serge, girdled with a nar-
row belt of apple green leather and
sleeves of Roman striped linen-—
with a long shawl collar and under
stripes or roses and green on a tan
background. ’ ‘l " .'

Helpful Hints
Carpet stained with ink.
It is very difficult to remove ink
stains from a carpet after the ink has
been on it for some time.
If possible. always cover spilled ink
immediately with dry salt or starch.
Take this up with a spoon as it soaks
”up the ink. but do not rub or swoop
it. This prevents the spot from
spreading.
Leave the spot covered with dry salt
and endeavor to see what kind of
ink was spilled. Put some 'of the same
kind of ink on water and allow it to
dry. Apply water.
if the ink runs after having been
the tailored suit, but perhaps later on
when silk suits begin to beiworn there
may he a tendency to lines not quite so
simple and mannlsh as those of the
tailoredsuits. which at present most
women are choosing for their street
costume. But just now there is a de-
cided feeling for a most pronounced
simplicity of cut and lack of unnecom
sary adornn’r’ent. This of course makfi
excellent tailoring imperative. for the
silhouette of the hour does not per-1
mit any covering up of poor line‘s or
concealing deficiencies in. workman-
ship. '
‘For the, early models serge an dtrlJ
coiine are preferred for a certain type
of suit, while those fashioned more all
sports lines are developed in' jersey,
homespun, and tweed. Covert cloth is
also used and suits of this are particu-
larly smart.
To relieve the severity of a plalil .
taileur there is nothing more satisfac-
tory than a smart waistcoat. which
may be of silk or gingham, linen or on
gandie, according to one’s fancy, and
which have appeanjl in wide variety.‘
Waistcoat blouses; too, are a feature
dried it is probably stylogrophic ink.
Use a little salsoda diluted in water
on the carpet
If when dry the ink does not run it
is probably'willl'dut aniline dyes. Use
one part. of sulphuric acid to ten parts
of water on the carpet.
If either of these solutions fade the
carpet. brush it with aqua ammonia to
restore the color. ‘ _
