What a familiar request that is when school is out. Summer vacations are long and usually hot so parents are often put to it, to keep their children amused and happy. As one Mother expressed it "Even children get tired of nothing but play." They really enjoy work-par- ticularly when they can see results. And what could show more pleas- ing results than making bright, sparkling jellies and jams with sun- ripened fruits and berries? Pitting cherries, hulling berries and cutting or peeling fruit may be turned into really constructive effort. Then when the young jellymakers see the labelled glasses in the jam cup- board - they feel a definite sense of achievement. Explain to them carefully the new short-boil way of making jams and jellies . . these instructions are included with natural fruit pectin in either bottled or powder- ed form. Here are twe simple homemade spreads that will be a credit to any jelly shelf: RIPE PEACH JAM 33 cups prepared fruit 7% cups sugar 1 bottle fruit pectin To prepare fruit, peel and pit or core about 21/2 pounds fully ripe fruit. Grind or chop very fine. If desired, 1 to 3 teaspoons spice may be added. Measure sugar and prepared fruit, solidly packed, into large kettle, and MI; well. BARCLAY Bring to a full roiling boil over hottest fire, Stir constantly be- fore and while boiling. Boil, hard 1 minute. Remove from fire and stir in bottled fruit pectin. Then stir and skim by turns for just 5 minutes to cool slightly, to prevent floating fruit. Pour quickly, Paraffin hot jam at once. Makes about 10 glasses (6 fluid ounces each). RIPE PLUM JELLY Makes about 7 medium glasses): 3 cups juice 4 cups sugar 1 box powdered fruit pectin To prepare Juice, crush thorough. ly (do not peel or pit) about 3 pounds fully ripe plums. Add cup water, bring to a boil, and sim- mer, covered, 10 minutes. Place fruit in jelly cloth or bag and squeeze out juice. (If there is a slight shortage of juice, add small amount of water to pulp in jelly cloth and squeeze again.) Measure sugar into dry dish and set aside until needed. Measure juice into a 3- to 4-quart saucepan. Place over hottest fire. Add powdered fruit pectin, mix well, and continue stirring until mixture comes to a hard boil. At once pour in sugar, stirring constantly. Con- tinue stirring, bring to a full rolling boil, and boil hard lh minute. Remove from fire, skim, pour quickly. Paraffin hot-jelly at once, - - e • 0. meat, We use two of the Most colourful vegetables for pickling - beets and cucumbers. And here's a hint that comes immediately to mind - if you have a few nicely shaped jars, fill them and put them aside for the time of year when the exchange of gifts is also traditional. It will save your purse and increase your fun if your specialties are made at home. And here are some tested recipes which will provide economical addi- tions to your winter supply of pickles without using much sugar * * * * RECIPES Pickling Solution for Sour Pickles 1 quart cider vinegar, % cup sugar, 1/2 tb. celery seed, AA tb. whole cloves, 1/2 tb. mustard seed, tb. peppercorn. Mix vinegar and sugar. Add spices tied loosely in a piece of cheescloth. Heat to boiling point on electric ele- ,meat turned High and boil 3 otinates, Note; This solution is poured over the vegetables that have been prepared for pickling, weighted down in brine for 25 hours and rinsed in clear cold water, Meek Olives 3 pints black cherries, 1 cup vine- gar, 1 cup cold water, 3 tbs, brown sugar, g tsps. whole cloves, 2-inch stick cinnamon, 1 tsp. salt, Mix vinegar, water and sugar to- gether; add spices in a loose, bag and boil fora minutes on electric element turned Low, in a covered saucepan. Stem and wash . cherries. Put unpit- ted cheriies in sterilized jars. Pour syrup over and seal. Chopped Pickles (no sugar) 4 qts, chopped green tomatoes, 'Ye cup salt, 2 tsps. pepper, 3 tsps, mustard, 3 tsps, cinnamon, 3 tsps. allspice, 3 tsps. cloves, V2 cup mustard seed, 4 green peppers, 2 chopped onions, 2 qts, vinegar.

Bring to boiling point, then turn the electric element to Lo w after boiling point is reached, Store in stone or glass jars in a cool place. * * * Take A Tip 1. Covering the top of a crock of cu- cumbers with grape or horseradish leaves will keep them green. 2. If plum stones are stubborn to re- move, just leave them in fruit when cooking jam. They will come to the surface and are easy to skim off. 3. A sprig of mint cooked with peas gives a pleasant and ,unusual flavour. 4. White cabbage, cauliflower and white onions keep their colour if cooked in water that has had % tsp. cream of tartar added. This softens the water. * * * * THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. W. C. asks: "Can the glaze on curtains be. renewed?" " Answer: Try putting the fabric in thin, clear, hot starch to which a tsp. of wax has been added. Mrs. J. M. says: "Radishes that are cut in shapes do not crisp when they are put in salt' and cold water." Answer:. Do not add salt. It draws out the vegetable juices. Place them in a small amount of water. Cover tightly and chill on the lower shelf of the electric refrigerator to save electric current. Mrs. C. C. asks: "Recipe for Honey Blueberry Pie?" 2 tbs. flour, 21 cups blueberries, % tsp. lemon juice, % cup honey, % tsp. salt. Line a pie plate with pie paste, fill with berries dredged with flour. Sprinkle salt on, pour honey over, and cover witlepie-paste.

The "Babushka" is in dark green to match the little apron. The frock has tiny sleeves and a sweetheart neckline. The simulated lacing is in green cording and ties in a bow on top.
