These little red bitter berries do not seem torequlre much care In their preparation, yet to be really, well cooked takes not only time, but considerable attention. Cranberries should be prepared at least 24 hours be fore they are used, Jn order that they may be properly molded. To one quart, or four cups, of cranberries, after they have been looked over, add one cup of boiling water. Boll the cranberries continuously for 20 minutes, stirring them frequently. After this add two cups ot sugar and boil them again for ten full minutes. Watch them constantly. as they are especially liable to burn after the sugar is added. When the cranberries aro done turn 'them at once into Jelly bowls or any molds preferred. Before serving dip 'the mold for an instant In hot water and turn them out. They will be Jellied In the perfect form, ol the mold these directions have keen compiled with, A NEW .CHIFFON. A new kind of chiffon, known as chiffon bolle. Is a cross between chiffon and gauze.

That Old question of whether there are more unmarried men or unmarried women In this country Is exciting the statisticians again, and recently another man of figures nas come forward with the declaration that the propor tlon of unmarried girls and women' was Increasing. .As a matter of fact. It is steadily diminishing In the United Stales, and, as a veteran advocate of the extension of the legal rights of women has pointed out, there are now In the. United States 2,500,000 more single men of marriageable age than there are single women, the offi cial figures being as follows: Unmarried men, 10,448,153; unmarried girls and women. 7,573.819. The male population of the United States, through the excess of male Immigration and the higher male birth rate, Is more than a million in excess of the female.- The span Of life la, on the average, longer for a woman than for a man. and the marriageable age for women Is sev eral years younger than the average for njn. As a consequence of t5lsAbnwrrfpT"o? widows Is very largely In excess of the number of widowers, the figures being 2,700,000 and 1.200,000 respectively. There are more divorced .women who have not remarried than there are divorced men. and for all these reasons the number of single men of marriageable age is larger than the number of single women. . In New York If ia 240,000: in Pennsylvania. 180,000: In Ohio, 120,000: in Illinois, 200,000; In ..California. 150,000; in Texas 150,000, and in Kansas, 75.000. In Massachusetts the number of. unmarried men ex ceeds the number of unmarried women by only a few thou sands. In Utah there are 35.000 unmarried men and 23,000 unmarried Women of marriageable age. In Washington, the capital, the number of single men Is 42,000 and of stngfe- women the same.
