I ilUv aHL &-; vL ANEW GRAPE SYRUP f?Sl HB fruit Juice specialists of H tbo United Statos Department jmi of Agriculture have developed a method by which tho Julco pressed from Concord and Ives grapes can bo concentrated Into a grapo evpup sultablo for use In soft drinks and as an adjunct in coakory. The method consists in frceilng Julco pressed from grapes Into a solid mass, cracking tula Into piocou tho slzo of a walnut and whirling It In tho centrifugal machine such ns is used In separating molasses from tho sugar In sugar making. The rapid whirling In tho centrifu gal machlno causes tho sugar or syrup portion of tho grapo Julco to separate from tho crystallized vator and to tly out Into tho receiving cham ber of tho centrifugal. By thin method tho grapo Julco is quickly rcducod by tho elimination of water to one-fourth Its vottimo, so that tho syrupy contont of a gallon of grapo Juice will make a quart of con centrated syrup. Experiments In making tho product showed also that In tho frcozlng and ccntrlfugnlUlng a largo part of the acid of tho grapo Juice, which 1b In tho form of cream of tartar, Is left bo hlnd In crystals In tho centrifugal bas ket. After tho syrup Iiob been con centrated it Is highly heated and can then bo kept indefinitely. 1 - , E"5J HB hand bag or satchel of un 11 drcssod kid, when Boiled by H usage, need not bo turned over to tho professional cleaner.

ANY complaints are heard over the counter to the effect that silk garments, some of which nave tieen worn very little, seem to split. The very worst thing for silk Is heat, and ofttimes n ward robe is built where a chimney runs right back of it. or a radiator is too r-asr. so the silk -rumbles.

Never leave off the work of freshening and reno vating party things until the day you are invited to go out. Ouo always has an unexpected invitation and finds to her misery that all her party flnerv needs two or three days' work on it. So get out your evening slippers now and see that they nr6 thoroughly cleaned and ready for wear. If tho satin is but slightly soiled get some pieces of stale bread and rub the sur face ffntb- with It; this takes off all small dlscoloratious, Kneaded rubber will do the same work. Although some women do not like it, because It crumbles off on the satin. If the slipper is still Boiled looking after thlH treatment rub the entire surface with the thread, remember not to go against or across it. BY MRS. McCUNE. jETB N Now York there Is a certain IP II leen-witted young woman ISSJ architect and interior decora tor who designs these kitch ens, and she is earning a snug profes sional Income by doing bo. Tho chromatic kitchen." it may be ex plained, is simply u well-planued kitchen decorated according to pome striking nnd novel color scheme. This young woman was not always so prosperous In fact, there was a period in her early professional life when she was on the verge of giving up the whole busluess of architecture and decoration, and taking up some thing less high sounding In name, but with a surer Income attached. One day. passing through the base ment of a department store a display of blue and white enameled ware, caught her eye. She was struck with an idea. With this blue and white enameled ware ns a basis, why not work out a bluo and white kitchen, using blue and white tile back of the kitchen range, blue and white lino leum on the floor, and at the windows white scrim curtains with design in blue stencil and so on throughout the kitchen? HB changing of a bow or a heel on a shoe makes a great dif ference Jn the annearance. nn manv a nnir anii slight alterations. For Instance, where a flat bow has trimmed at In step and a tied bow would bring the desired chang- The shoe can be taken to anv boot repairer and eyelets put in to accommodate the ribbon. Heels, too, can be replaced by others, but too mn-h difference in height spoils the general effect as well as the comfortable feellnc. in Ath, An architect acquaintance who was planning a country house for a weal thy woman client permitted her to ap ply her Idea to the kitchen. The owu er was delighted when It was complet ed, going so far ns to declare that the kitchen wob the best room In her new country house. The young woman, realizing that she had made a discovery, determined to follow It up. First of all she made a thorough study of good kitchen design, so that she was a master of the efficient kitch en. Then she looked into the ques tion of kitchen wares, and was de lighted to find that nowadays enam eled ware comes in a wide range of colors There are soft motled grays, two or three shades of blue, a nile green and an olive green, a brown and an ame thyst, an old Ivory, a concord purple and a royal purple, and still others. Sometimes there is a combination of two colors, as in the case of bluo and white ware, which is white within and blue without. Using these light kitchen wares as a basis, and matching them in tiling floor coverings and hangings she has specialized in the "chromatic kitch en for the country house, and she had done it exceedingly well Sometimes she uses a combination of colors, as, for Instance, purple tinted ware with old Ivory tile and hangings, The New Yorker loves novelty, espe cially if it costs but little more than 6ome everyday humdrum effect. This is true of the "chromatic kitchen," for none of the materials used by this c'vf young woman are mora costly jiii2vi'!",iLce arucie Sneet Potato Wscultt.. Break into halves three good sized baked sweet potatoes, take out the centers, and press through a sieve; add ono tablespoon of butter, a tea spoon of salt, nnd a pint of milk.

If tho flour is a good strong bread flour, the quantity will be Just suffi cient. Fill into greased gem pans and bake in a quick oven for from twenty five to thirty minutes. Leftover white or sweet potatoes may be used. This makes a delicious but inexpensive bis cuit rotroast and Ilrown Gmtt. Get four or Ave pounds of bottom of the round.
