Jelly Stock for Winter.
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.

tin and acid. 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.
Some heat the sugar and some do'not.
The second method is to add the
sugar as soon as the juice begins to
boil and 000k rapidly until jelly stage
is reached which, ether conditions be-
ing right, will bre in about twenty
minutes.

Make -Over Notes.
Lengthening skirts: Letting down a
not a compromise. 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. Crepe silk
puff's for a• cloth frock.

Constructive C
Welfare Law
BY DR, J. c -SHEA•RER
The welfare of children is the con-
cern of all. Humanity, patriotism and
religion combine ill, their appeal in be''
half of the little armee The majority,
of children are safely left to the care
of their own parents. Unhappily, how-
ever, not, a few are bereft of parents,
or would be better if they were,. And
many others have need that the help
parents can render be supplemented•
by the Province.
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

provides for the appointment by the

She had settled in her own mind to
make a separate journey some after-

All the women she had seen thought
the school a good idea and were anx-
ious to have it; the men had promised
to help in the building, and to pay the
share that she had mentioned as likely
to be ,asked of them for the scho,od-
master's services.'
Davey had enjoyed the first part of
the journey as much as she had. He
had romped and run wild with boys
and girl's on the homesteads they had
been to. It was only when they were
leaving Ross's that morning he had
been disturbed. After his mother and
Mrs. Ross had kissed good-bye, Mrs,
Cameron had shaken hands with Ted
and Mick Ross and kissed little Jessie,
and he had shaken hands with Mrs.
Ross and grin'iied act the boys, Mrs.
Ross exclaimed:
"Why Davey hasn't said good-bye

Davey had alimbed into the cant and
taken his seat by his mother, angry

were laughing at him; and he sat

the morning.;
When they Dame to the ramshackle

two or three dogs fieyr out, barrking

up on the side of the road, and a lean

twitching his tailto keep the flies

scratched and peeked about the water -

A bare -legged little girl with wind -
tossed dark hair ran out and stood
staring at them. She had a little

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. "Your teacher must have
been so proud! I know she just loved
you. She .said something to - you,
didn't she?"
"Yes, mother."
"I knew it!" with a proud glance at
Clarence's father over Clarence's head.
"Come, darling, tell mother What the
teacher said to mother's little man."
"She said for me to bring two cents
