In fact In the pi quant colorful patterned prints which have been fashion's Idol year In and year out the fair sex sems to have ftlscovered the very fountain of youth. And so the lure of prints abides arlth us, and this season the world of fashion seems to have grown more priat-consdons than ever. In the new toll actions, no matter how tempera mental one may be, there's a print for very mood. They run the whole gamut of emotions. That vp-and-golng spirit which ex ists daring the practical busy hours af tke day Is reflected In sprightly tailored-looking prints whose tiny pat terns on dark backgrounds are Just Die thing to wear about town. In the Gee, the schoolroom snd for travel.

Kggs preserved In waterglass can be used with good results for all pur poses In cooking and for the table. When such eggs are to be boiled, a small hole should be made with a pin In the shell st the large end, before putting them In the water. This Is done to allow the air In the egg to escape when the egg Is heated, snd so prevent cracking. Only very fresh eggs, preferably from one to three days old, should be preserved. If possible the ejrgs should be Infertile. Under no circumstances should badly soiled eg be used. Dirty eggs will spoil, and If thoy are washed the protective rontlng which prevents spoiling Is removed. Cracked eggs should never he put down In waterglass. Kven minute cracks may cause spoilage and contamination of the other eggs in the jar. It Is a wise precaution to examine every egg by candling It before uln& Usually a few eggs are put down In waterglass at a time, whenever they are not needed for Immediate con sumption. A five-gallon crock, there fore, Is a good size to use for the pur pose. It should be set wherever It Is to be kept before any eggs are put In, as It would be difficult to move It without endungering the eggs, later on. A five-gallon Jar will be large enough to hold 13 doen evgs and still permit at least two Inches of the waterglass solution to stand over the tops of the eggs. The United .States Department of Agriculture gives the following direc tions for the preparation of the crock and the preserving solution: First cleon the crock thoroughly. Scsld It and allow It to dry. Heat a quantity of water to the boiling point and allow It to cool. When It Is cool, measure out nine gallons of water, and add one quart of sodium silicate, or waterglass, which can be bought In most drug stores. Mix well. Eggs may now be put Into the solution whenever thera are any extra ones. on white, or vice versa, achieve the Ktnrtllng contrast which l so out standing on the present style program.

Wnlnt Newiir Vnlua ) Meringue Adds Much aa li 1 1 S to Uessert In some ways a rreatn pie Is easier to make than a custard pie. The shell Is baked tint, the filling Is made In the double boiler, and then a meringue Is spread over the top and nicely browned. For "company" purposes a dessert with a meringue seems a lit tle more attractive than Just plain pie. The bureau of home economics of the I'nited States Department of Agricul ture furnishes the recipe. 1 pint milk or thin t eita cream I It a butter If 4 tin flour milk la uied cup iugar H tip. vanilla H tip. mil I'aatry Heat the milk or cream In a double boiler.

Pour some of this mixture Into the beaten egg yolks, and add to the rest of the mixture with the but ter and vanilla. Pour Into a baked pie crust and let stsnd for a few minutes. In the meantime make a meringue from the beaten egg whites four tablespoonfuls sugar and a few grains of salt and a drop or two of vanilla. Spread over the pie filling to the edge of the crust and bake In a very moderate oven (323 degreee Fahrenheit) for 13 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. To make a banana cream pie, add sliced bsnanas to the custard mixture after It Is cooked, eover with the meringue and bake In the usual way. By NELLIE MAXWELL stand 24 hours, turning several times.

Evening Fairy Tale for the Children IN THE SWAMP "I have such a nice suit," said Mr. Fox Sparrow. "It Is stylish, I think, to wear a reddish brown coat and a spotted waistcoat "And your dress Is nice, too." "Ah,' yes," agreed Mrs. Fox Spar row, "I am so much pleased with my own dress. "I like to moult and Improve my feathers, but I like to have them come back the same way as they were, that Is the same color and of the same kind." "Perhaps Its .because of our reddish brown feathers that we are called fox sparrows," said Mr. Fox Sparrow. "Are foxes reddish brown, and have they feathers?" asked Mrs. Fox Spar row. Lower them carefully Into the crock to avoid cracking them. I!o very care ful to keep at least two Inches of the waterglass solution above the top layer of eggs. The crock should be well covered to prevent evaporation. Waxed poper tied around the top will be satisfactory, as It Is easily removed for adding more eggs. If the solution evaporates perceptibly, more should be mixed in the same proportion and used to maintain the level. Eggs preserved In this way may be taken out at any tlmo. If waterglass cannot be obtained, eggs may be pre served In a solution of lime water made by dissolving two or three pounds of unslaked lime In Ave gallons of water. The lirjuld remaining after the lime has settled Is used to All the Jar In the some way that the water glass solution Is used. Standards for Canned Food Products I .V.v ......

"It Is the first step taken by congress In the direction of granting the secretary of agricul ture formal authority to make and promulgate Irgal standards for food products.
