PORTLAND. Or.. Sept 30. Dear Miss
Tingle: I have a fig tree in our yard which
has quite a good crop of figs this year. Is
there any way I can use them for a little
specialty? Also, when should I pick themf

frock, which is as dainty and indi
vidual as all Lanvin's costumes man
age to be. The frock is of heavy cloth
and haa no lining. All the weight hangs
from the shoulders, though a trim belt
rives graceful lines at the waist.
Pipings of soldat blue cloth and gray
buttons edged with blue give a military
suggestion, and the double pocket
across the front of the skirt is surely
a novel idea. Gray spats match the
frock and the hat is of gray fur and
black velvet.
Now that the shops have a curtailed
delivery system. Jackets with three
pockets on earh side will be partic
ularly convenient. At any rate Doeuil
let haa put three pockets on each side
of this velvet coat, which is plain and
tailored to a degree with its braid
bound edges and scams. The suit is
of black velvet with a black astrachan
collar. The black beaver hat has taupe
feathers and taupe spats match the
feathers for this Fall spats match the
headgear.
Bullos has concentrated interest at
the front of this frock. The back is
a single straight breadth of fabric from
neck to ankle, but the front is pleated,
tucked and draped up at the hip. The
material is navy blue wool Jersey,
made to look more intensely blue be
cause of the black astrachan collar and
hercules braid trimming. The sleeves
start by being very tight, but end by
being quite loose because of released
pleats stitched fast from the elbow to
Just above tne wrist.

plate or small board on top to keep
the toratatoes below the brine. Take
care that no mold is allowed to form
on the surface. About a week after
packing, when all bubbling has ceased,
cover the surface with a little oil or
melted paraffine to prevent the
fomentation of "scum yeasts." and
store in a very cool place. Examine
once or twice a week for a month to
be sure they are keeping well. If
there is mould, remove it. Pour off
the brine, boil, skim, add a little more
salt to make it of the original
strength or use fresh brine.
A litle vinegar may be added to
aid keeping. Three-fourths cup vin
egai to one gallon brine makes a very
good solution.
When wanted for use, remove tne
tomatoes from the brine, or brino and
vinegar, and soak in cold water for
two hours. They should Di. firm and
good, though probably somewhat dis
colored. These salted tomatoes may be fried
or stuffed, or scalloped, or put into a
stew, or used in mincemeat, chutney
or other relishes, pickles, -mixed salads,
street conserves or pie.
Salted green peppers Select fresh
plump, even shaped, medium green
peppers. Remove the stems and seeds,
breaking the peppers as little as pos
sible. Pack into a crock and cover
with brine and vinegar, using three
fourths cup vinegar to one gallon
brine. Follow the same method as for
green tomatoes. Sometimes it is con
venient to pack both peppers and to
matoes In the same crock, using the
brine aud vinegar as above. The pep
pers when taken from the brine should
be firm, crisp and of good color. They
should be soaked, like the tomatoes,

WHO but a French milliner would
have thought of this hind-side-before
-arrangement for a long
ostrich feather? Yet how completely
smart the arrangement is! The little
hat has a daring brim only a young
face could wear it and at front and
back the daring brim turns up close
against the crown, the brim edges al
most meeting in a diagonal line across
the hat. In this space is set the rich
ostrich plume, its end tumDling over
the right ear. The turban is of wine
colored velour, the feather in soft taupe
shade.
These low, sharply-pointed hats of
the hour may be said to be all line;
and the line is accentuated by a wing
that follows the sharp point pf the brim
and extends beyond. The close effect
at one side of the head and the exag
gerated point outward at the other give
an entirely new effect in millinery and
these new pointed hats are quite the
rage. This' one is a creation in maroon
velvet with henna-shaded wing, from
Marguerite et Leonie.
You would think this turban was
banded with fur, would you not? But
the trimming is really fur imitation
contrived with wool a very clever imi
tation of raccoon. The turban is of
brown velvet with a strip of fawn
colored velvet on the mushroom brim,
a second or flange brim rolling up
around the low crown. A quill in
shades of brown and fawn is set across
the left side of the hat, but is invisible
in the picture. .
