"Sugar 'nd spice 'nd everything
nice" goes into the preserving ket­
tle, and out of It comes a tantaliz­
ing array of jellies, jams, pickles
and relishes, and rich fruit butters
and marmalades.
This year, why not add to your
stock of preserves (and to your rep­
utation as a good
cook!) by doing
some of your own
canning and pre­
serving? It’s as
easy as A.B.C, if
you'll follow a
few simple sug­
gestions and use
tested recipes.
Most of the equipment you need
for canning and preserving you will
have on hand; large kettles or
saucepans,
a
colander, coarse
strainer, wooden masher, wooden
spoons, a skimmer, wide-mouth fun­
nel, glass jars, jelly glasses, jar
covers and new rubbers. It may be
necessary to buy a few new jars
each year, for nicked jars are likely
to cause spoilage.
Wash jars, glasses and covers
thoroughly in soapy water, and rinse
in boiling water. Sterilize them just
before using and let them remain
in the hot water until you are ready
to All them. Use new rubbers ev­
ery year, and dip them In boiling
water just before you put them on
the jars. When jars or jelly glasses
are to be Ailed with hot food»,
place the hot glasses on a clean
towel which has been wrung out of
hot water.
If you have an old-fashioned gravy
boat with a spout and handle, use it
in Alling glasses

Allow the jam to
cool in the glasses
before sealing

When the paraffin
has set, wipe the
glasses with a damp cloth, cover,
and label them. To prevent the
formation of mold, store jams, RI-
lies, and preserves in a cool, dry
place.

Were the accompanying illustra­
tion printed in color, as we wish it
might be. one would see how amaz­
ingly realistic are the tones and
tints of the flowers. The lady shown
to the left is putting out to sea in a
dressmaker swim suit which reflects
Hawaiian influence in its wide-skirt­
ed silhouette and garland of tur­
quoise and coral sweet peas that
outlines the bodice top. Dress, flow­
ers and matching turban are all of
rubber. The striking beachbag flung
over her shoulders is rubber lined.
The picture centered below gives a
close-up view of the flower arrange­
ment
The costume to the right presents
an interesting study in rubber flow­
er culture. This clever maiden se­
lected a flower bedecked suit in deep
pink. Under the flower cluster a
"mad-money" pocket is hidden,
which also holds locker key and lip­
stick, which is self explanatory as to
why this suit is called “pocketeer.”
And now for another revelation
in rubber artistry. This time it is
rubber jewelry. Note the matching
halo to hold tresses in place and
bracelet which the lovely lady pic­
tured in the center at the top is
wearing. Blue and yellow corn flow­
ers form the straps of the bathing
suit and the jewelry. This ensem­
ble is called "debutante” no doubt
in honor of its wearer.
Borts, or defective diamonds,
are the most used in industrial es­
tablishments, considerable quanti­
ties being consumed for trueing
grinding wheels, mineral boring,
the manufacture of wire drawing
dies and the sawing of hard stone.
They are also used in glass and
beveling works for working and
cutting glass, in optical and horo-
logical works and for machinery
for cutting fiber, metals and hard
compositions.

Felts as big as cartwheels are

them more interesting, their brims

the largest, are trimmed with veils
—some long enough to reach the
waist.
Bag and Bracelet
In Red Style Note
“Three cheer» for the red, white
and blue" and it's fashion that is
joining in the chorus in accents loud
and clear. This stunning hat and
bag ensemble sounds a patriotic
note in its red, white and blue color
scheme. It is woven of cord in the
three colors and emphasizes the
importance of matching accessories.
Accessory sets simply thrill with ex­
citing adventures such as a bag and

bags and hats are the rage. Latest
