In preparing for the winter's sup- ply of jelly, what could be simpler than merely to extract the fruit juices during the busy fruit season and store them in jars? This juice is called jelly stock. Each jar of stock is neat- ly ]labeled, giving such information as the kind of fruit, date prepared and any facts that may assist in later making the best jelly. Jars of jelly stock are stored with other canned fruits and used: as the !emend arises. Perhaps first among the advantages of thus supplying the table with freshlymade jellies, of that rich', C.

The fruit should be firm and in good condition, .with one-half ripe to give characteristic flavor and color, and one -_half slightly green to supply acid. There are other fruits of delicious flavor, which cannot well be spared from the list of jellies, yet are lacking in the jelly -making substance. Straw- berries, peaches and cherries are among these but experiments have discovered ways of making them jelly by combining with such fruits as apple or :by the addition of home-made or commercial pectin. This pectin is of value because it makes it possible for us to make a perfect jelly out of fruits that until recently we thought could not be satisfactorily used except for jams, sauces and conserves. Two methods of adding sugar to the strained juice for the final process of jelly making are recognized by suc- ces ful _s cooks. Thetobring ring the juice to a boil, boil rapidly for ten minutes, add sugar and boil, after boil- ing point is reached, ten minutes, when, if other conditions are right,' the - jelly stage should be reached.

Pin -tucked inset bands are one of the smart ways of letting down a skirt. Now, wouldn't pi,n-•tucked organdie bands add a pretty touch to a checked gingham frock? Make them about two inches wide and add three or four., placing one above a deep hem and the others spaced about three inches apart, If this adds more than enough length, cut ,off the extra. Insets of lace dyed to match are nice for lengthening a silk frock. And fine all-over embroidery insets' will add to the appearance of almost any cotton frock. Fagoting is another practical "let- down" for silk, fine woolen, or cotton frocks. Add as many rows as you like. Fashion puts no limit en fagoting. Dropping the waistline: Of course, you want low waistlines when every- one is wearing them. If you happen to have a normal waistline Hoek, try this little soheme: Cut off the lamer edge of the waist, making it parallel to the floor all the way round. Join it to a straight section, Sew the top of the skirt to the bottom of the new section, and finish this last joining with a casing and elastic. If your dress is fine serge, twill, or velour, make the inset of faille, crepe silk, or brocade in a matching shade. A two -toned ribbon for the new sec - style, add a bosom front and new col- lar. Dimity or batiste blouses are at- tractive with dotted swiss or ehec'keti gingham bosoms and collars. • Making short sleeves long: This is merely a trader of adding on a new lower section. Many of the new dresses have tight -fitting • upper sleeves and puffed lower sleeves,. Cut off your sleeve to a :point halfway be- tween the shoulder and elbow, and gather the new sleeve to ` the lower edge.Also gather' the bottom of the new sleeve and finish with a narrow band cuff. Here are a few possibilities for sleeve puffs: Organdie or batiste puffs fon a gingham frock, Chiffon puffs for a taffeta track. Printed silk puffs for a plain crepe silk frock.

Manitoba has just enacted the most modern, Child Welfare Act in Canada or on the continent, in behalf of spe- cially needy classes. of children. It is comprehensive and constructive in high degree. Its preparation was the work of a committee of experienced and expert friends of children, gotten together by the Social Service Council. That committee labored for four years' before recommending the law to the Government, But the law justifies ths. time and labor spent upon its fram- ing. It establishes a new Department of Public Welfare with a Minister of .Puq lic Welfare in charge.

The Unexpected. Clarence recently made his debut as a Sunday -school scholar. When he came home. his father and mother wain ed to hear a report of dils experiences, but Clarence evidently was too much dazed by them to begin. "Well, dear," said his mother help- fully, "did you say the text?" "Yes, mother." "And did you remember the story of the lesson?" "Yes, mother, I said it all off by. heart. ,. "And did you put your penny in the basket." "Yes, mother." Clarence's, mother caught him up: and huged him ecstatically. "Oh, you little precious!" she ex- olaimed.
