THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: AUGUST 22. 1920. 5 B A v 1L . in. 7 I' ffJ mm ti f l How to Make Jellies '. By LORETTA C. LYNCH.' i With every indication of higher trices in the fall, the thrifty house wife is making some jelly. 'True, me com 01 sugar iS nign, and in many sections fruit is none too cheap, but the "other fellow" must pay the same pnCe approximately as vou, and in addition vou must pay him for his labor, overhead and merest on investment besides. The task of making a supply of elly for the family pantrv for wili er is not difficult, if the" hnuw wife uses judgment. In the first place, too much should not be attempted at one time. The care 'one exer cises is apt to arrow lax if an never- ending quantity seems to be staring one in tne face. A.I . . .notiier suggestion is the group method of working. Several wome should plan to help each other.

If you want to make jelly of peach parings, the parings must be cooked with apple. Rasp berries combined with currants are the makings of a much-prized iellv The fruits should be washed and then cut into pieces and cooked in a very little water until soft as with apples, or. in the case of grapes and currants, the fruit should be crushed until the juice flows. No water is equired. When soft the fruit should be turned into the icllv baz. ore iously wrune out of hot water.

Irish Lace a Feature i mmmm d fts. J Or mnA What's What By HELEN DECIE By CORINNE LOWE. t N e w Y o r k. (Special Corre " spoudence.) The riot of Irish lace is certainly a feature of dress politics this season. This familiar weave is used on all man ner of new frocks, blouses and lin gerie, but here we see it asserting a new right. It is to become the under skirt of this charm ing little frock of taffeta. The taffeta is in itself worthy of our attention, for it is a striking pattern of stripes in blue, black and white. The charm ing irregular yoke alio is of Irish lace. This frock is de signed particularly for the young girl, although it is not too festive for Jjer older sister. --t Measuring Cups. Keep a standard cup in the suear bin and another in the flour bin in stead of the custoniery broken le tups of varying sizes usually used there. Charcoal for Stains. A hopeless discoloration of a blac1 crepe de chine dress can be concealei by moistening the stain and rubSing charcoal over it. Do You' Know II r. Throe Question a Day for the Houtewife. 1. Is milk a perfect food for adults? 2. How much time to allow for roasting lamb? 3. How to remove scorch marks from linen? These questions will be answered tomorrow by the HOUSEWIFE. as Answer to Yesterday's Question. 1. Butter was used more than 2,000 years ago, but usuall a medicine or as an ointment after bathinir. 2. To keep onions from smelling while cooking, boil them ir, an uncovered saucepan. Open the kitchen windows at the top. The odor will not go through the house. 3. To clean brass. When you have no brass polish, rub it thoroughly with a mixture of vinegar and salt Each of these household problems has been worked out bv tho author, who has not onlyaken a course in scientific housewifery and dietetics at Columbia university, and written and edited women's newspaper and magazine features for years, but is a practical house- Keeper as wen. The most brilliant epigram attrib uted to the late Lord Fisher is: "Do right to any man; don't write to any woman." In the eighteenth century letter writing had become on the the fine arts; in the nineteenth century it be- stan to be but a pleasant duty otten iong drawn out and in the twentieth century the one-time epistolary art is almost telegraphic in brevity. Yet, although there is little time for elaborate correspondence in these busy days, the old rules still hold good regarding prompt re sponses to letters which require an swers, fastidiousness as to the qual ity of the notepaper used and the maintenance of a certain reserve in -expression, no matter how impulsive )niav he the emotions of the writer. (Copyright, 120, by Public Ledger Co.). t( Handy in the Kitchen. A usePul kitchen tool is made of a stick of wood about 10- inches long apd three-quarters of an inch square. Around one end, a sheet of sand paper is tightly wrapped and tacked. The other end is shaped for a handle. This is handy. for sharpening knives or sandpapering cupboard doors that stick. As the paper becomes worn, it can be cut along the line of the tacks, and the worn layer peeled off. In the . Selection of a Piano ) One Should Consider Beyond Surface Values Many pianos are made of the ame kind of ma terials and equally attractive in appearance, yet having no comparison in tonal or wearing qualities.

Our bags and suitcases are the most com fortable yet they possess all the qualities of dura bility, roominess and style. Omaha Printing-Company Thirteenth at Farnam TT Picnicking Joys It is the duty of every home man ager to occasionally "drop every thing" to take advantage of the glorious weather and give the fam ily a day in the woods or the park. Such excursions will remain precious in the memories of children. It is further the privilege of every house wife to so plan her work that she will feel free to tak'e advantage of several iileaf summer days. A few years ago ecn the least pretentious excursion caused a great amount of extra work and readjust ment. It often was a physical im possibility for the busy housewife to manage even a half-day's pleas ure trip Vith the children, for she didn't have the strength to spend a day before the picnic in the kitchen "making ready" for the event. In these days ot progress and pure food laws, however, high s-alaricd chefs are employed to prepare foods of all kinds ready to serve. A picnic haskci, the dchi-ht of old and young, can now quickly be packed. Some of the most delicious foods may be packed, can and all, as they come from the grocer's. What a pleasure it will be to be ready to join in the picnic spirit the next time the business members of your family express the. desire to have a dinner in the woodsl It's just the simplest thing ever, too. Like aft valuable accomplishments, however, it requires thought before hand. Put in the bottom of the basket a can of veal or chicken loaf, a can of Vienna sausage and a can of sar dines. A bottle of horseradish cream or horseradish mustard will make a splendid relish, and mall bottles of grape juice or grape flavored lemon ade solve the problem of what to drink. Also take some cookies. Two Turkish girls were among the 20 graduates this year of the Ameri can Collece for Women in Constan tinople.
