Years no, when I made jams and conserves, I followed Grandma's pound -for -pound rule which was good in the days before glass jars replaced stone crocks, and sterilization was not a matter of common practice. Now I know that to preserve the fruit flavor the amount of sugar should be only from one-half to three-fourths the weight of the fruit. In the case of berries, three-fourths to one cup of sugar to one quart fruit may be used if the filled jars are sterilized. for five minutes. If containers do not permit sterilization, use two-thirds as much sugar as fruit, as the sugar be- comes the preservative. A. Pick over and wash the fruit. It is usually best to pick over before washing, for the reason that soft fruits take up water very rapidly. Therefore the washing should be de- layed until just before using and then be done as rapidly as possible to avoid taking up an excess of water. B. Crush part of the fruit in the kettle or saucepan. This will free part of the juice and so tend to pre- vent scorching. C. Bring to the boiling point, This should be done very slowly so that scorching or burning may be avoided. D. Boil as rapidly as possible until the product is of the consistency de- sired in the finished jam. Very rapid boiling helps to prevent darkening of the product. E. Add the sugar. In doing this,. remove from the fire and stir in the sugar. The sugar will turn to syrup on contact with the fruit juice, and this gives a rather liquid material. P. Boil as rapidly as possible to finished jam. The time necessary for this cooking period depends on the consistency desired, which is a matter of individual taste. The majority of users desire a product that will pile up on the spoon, show little free liquid and slide off the spoon in sheets rather than in drops. (The temperature varies from about 220 to 226 degrees Fahrenheit.) Cooked and strained apple pulp may be added to other fruits to thin out flavors of the more expensive varieties. The quality of the product is not lessened and often it is helped by such practice. Use one-third cup apple pulp to each quart of straw- berries or raspberries, and one cup of blueberries, blackberries or grapes. Apple -and -Plum Conserve -2 c.

Three years now since Cullen went away, and all Patty had heard of him was in the meager letters brought back on the crossroads trips. Watching her advance, Joel pitied her, knowing that in her heart she fretted over her uncertain 'status. The wistfulnesswith which she sought news of Cullen was painful to him, and this time he would have to tell her there was no letter. Patty was blond, with blue eyes and gentle ways and an air of delicacy profoundly appealing to him. It had been a warm day and she was flushed with walking. Her face was softly pink. Tiny spirals of yellow hair, moistened into fiat rings, clung to her forehead. "Thar wan't no letter," he stammer- ed miserably as she seated herself. Patty Jessup sighed. "Nuthin'?" "Nuthin' " Maw spoke from the doorway above, a fresh wrapper of black with a tiny white dot drawn around her lean form. "How's yore paw, Patty?" Patty's slim hands twisted in her lap. "Paw's porely," she admitted. "He wants ter see Joel. Hit's whut I come fes—ter tell Joel Paw *ants him." "I'll go 'long now," decided Joel, rising. "Termorrer I aim ter finish plowin' an' git the cotton seed in afore 1 the spring rains begin." Together he and Patty Jessup went down the road in the early dusk. Be- n him he felt Maw's disapproving eyes upon his back. ! Maw certainly was set against Patty—she's been glad to separate Patty and Cullen. "Joel!" appealed Patty Jessup at his side. "Do ye think Cullen's ever comin' back?" "Now, Patty," stammered Joel, aware of the pulse of tears in her voice. •'Nobody ever comes back to the valley," declared Patty hopelessly. "Now, Petty," he said again, inade- quately. They walked the rest of the way silently, and he knew that Patty Jes- sup was weeping softly. More than he had ever wanted anything in the world he wanted to take Patty Jes- sup's helpless youth into his arms and soothe away her tears and her des- pair. But that, of course, couldn't be. Patty wanted Cullen; Patty and Maw were alike in that at least. Perley Jessup was proppe3 up, in bed against a chair, the sweaof weakness collecting on his pallid fore- head: "The old man hain't long fer'this world, Joel!" he greeted. "An' I'm Krorryin' erbout Patty. Reckon Cul- len's ever corrin' back?" Joel shifted uneasily. "Dunno." "Patty oughter be married," said Perley Jessup then. "Wimmin folks oughter marry; hit's in the nature o' Ithings. An' Patty's past marryin' age." Joel sat silently waiting. A tallow dip on a table beside the bed flared in the close night air. From the un - screened doorway a cloud of midges blew in, circling the flame. "Look!" pointed Perley Jessup, re- garding the midges. "Hit's whut hape pens ter silly .mounting boys whut go ter the cities." He sighed. "Joel—whyn't you marry Patty?" Joel gasped his surprise. "But Pat- ty -wants Cullen." "Patty don't know whut she wants," disputed Perley Jessup tolerantly. 'But you bin wantin' Patty a long time, Joel." "Yes," muttered ,Toel, turning •a curious, ashy Color. "I want Patty." Satisfied, the sick man relaxed. "Marry her, Joel. Cullen hasn't comin' back noways."

Pattern sent to any address on re- ceipt of 20 ,.cents in silver, by the Wilson Pattern Service, 73 West Adelaide St., Toronto. Joel considered, his own eyes upon the midges. "Ef Cullen hasn't back in a year, Pll marry. Patty," he said at last. "When she's alone, she kin live with us." Patty carne then, a shadow in gray calico spotted with tiny pink roses. "Tell Patty whut ye tole me." Stammering, Joel repeated his offer. "Speak up, gal!" commanded Per - ley Jessup sternly. "Ef Cullen hain't back in a' year, I'll marry Joel," promised Patty in a whisper. Perley Jessup closed his eyes with a sigh of satisfaction. Regarding Patty Jessup's slight figure, it came to Joel with immense significance that perhaps a year from now she would be his wife. Again there was that all but uncontrollable desire to take Patty Jessup in his arms. , In the weeks that followed Perley's death, it seemed to Joel that the com- ing of Patty Jessup under hie own roof had changed and brightened all his life. There was a new purpose in the drudgexy of his barren days, a new incentive for unremitting effort. Some day Patty Jessup would be his wife—already he regarded her posses- sively. Patty herself had changed toward him. There was a flushed confusion in her manner when they were to- gether and a solitude for his welfare 'entirely new to him. "Yore laig, Joel," she would say pityingly sometimes, when he limped more than usual after a hard day in the field, "does it hurt right smart ternight?" Instantly the pain would be forgot- !ten orgot-!ten and into Joel's blue eyes would I come a tenderness before which Patty (turned away breathlessly. Sometimes the sight of Patty Jes- sup moving about her homely tasks would fairly take him by the throat. His wife—in a few months. Did he, after all, want more out of life than just that And then, one day three months later, Cullen came back. Watching the springless wagon turn in before the porch and Cullen get out, Joel was aware of a .sullen resentment. Nobody, he told himself, walking slowly up to the cabin, ever came back to Bubbling Spring Valley. It wasn't fair of Cullen to break the rule. Patty Jessup had been almost within his grasp. He'd—why, he'd counted on marrying Patty Jessup. Marrying Patty had seemed the one likely reward he would ever receive for his years of toil. Cullen was garbed with an effect approximating magnificence in their eyes. He wore light-colored pants and a dark coat, black, shiny, pointed shoes and a red satin tie. His shirt was silk, his hair cut in a fashion un- familiar to the Valley. "Howdy, Maw!" he greeted. "Howdy, Joel! Why, here's Patty Jessup!" "Her pap's dead," explained Joel. "She's Alvin' hyar now." Maw and Patty busied themselves at the fireplace. Joel was aware of work awaiting him in the field. But this, he told himself rebelliously, was surely an occasion upon which idle- ness could be indulged. Hitching a' chair close to Cullen, he probed with pathetic eagerness for de- tails of the unfamiliar world outside: "Whut's it all like out thar, Cul- len?" he insisted. Cullen visibly struggled for words. tormented by his inability to paint a picture of utterly different conditions in words which would be understood. "It's—different," was the best he could supply. Then alertly: • "Ketch any fish in the creek this year, Joel?" "Plenty." A pause. "Anybody find a bee tree?" "Yep; we .got nigh two buckets o' honey." • Cullen inhaled deeply, looking out through the door. "Pine and cedar and spruce and poplar," he said raptly. "Dinged if it DRESSING FOR WORK. After all, work is a pleasure if one is dressed for it. We favus women can really enjoy ° Work if we have clothes that are nice looking and are also adapted for our own particular kind of fobs. A number of things must be con sidered. Even in the hottest weather we need not dread work if we, are rightly dreesed. First of all We finest have plenty of house: dreesea—the kind that launder easily. And now is the Etppointed time to be laying in a goodly supply. Six common work dresses are not too many. The dress apronsanswer every. need. They are easily made, they are easy to, slip on and off, they wash eas- ily, and, above all, are, nothing',to iron. If one has plenty of the dress aprons. —or apron dresses—a separate apron need not be worn. This is an advan- tage in several ways. It does save laundry, it is cooler and this style of dress is trim looking and comfortable. Gingham or a good grade of percale may be used. Get the materials—have: different kinds of gingham for each dress—and cut them all out in. one.: afternoon. One dress may easily be • made in an afternoon. I prefer€ the two-piece type with the gathers at the, low waistline on each side. One may vary the pattern and make severalclean-up dresses for afternoon somewhat nearly the seine if this is deeired. • I have found the one-piece'chemi.see,' made of cotton crepe, practicable for summer wear.They are easy to. make, require no ironing and are' nice to wear. e I am quite partial to bloomers, espe- cially for everyday wear.

' A week is long enough to convince one that they are specially good for the woman v+ho hurries in and out—to the henhouse, to the garden, upstairs, to the cellar. One's movements are unhampered. Sateen or a heavy crepe may be used and, they may be made in any color desired. The petticoats were always more, 01 less .bedraggled around the bottoms and" thus harder to wash.

"Uncle Keating's rich," he said ex- pansively. "He lives in a big house made of stone. When you want light you push a button on the wall. And when you wantwater you turn a handle and there's rivers of it wait- ing." "My sakes!" cried Patty Jessup. "Reckon hit's right smart conven- ient," onven- ient". said Maw. Presently from a bulging suitcase Cullen brought forth gifts—a length of black silk for Maw, a gay shirt for Joel. For Patty, quite evidently pro- duced as an afterthought,, a box of sweets: But Patty was entirely pleased and grateful. "I never even seed anythin' like this before," she stammered, her blueeyes adoring Cullen. Cullen stirred restlessly. "This hyar—you call it silk?" re- peated Maw, "Hain't nobuddy In the Valley got a dress like this!" Nor had anybody in the Valley a shirt fine enough to be drawn through a ring, reflected Joel. But that was lust it—the world ;was full of things never to be seen in the Valley. Outside it grew slowly dusk and Joel closed the door, building up the fire against the sharp chill of evening. "No noise," said Cullen Beck, al- most in a whisper. "And no hurry—" "An' no nuthin' else!" reminded Joel with a tinge of bitterness. "Now in cities---" "Cities!" snapped Cullen. "What do you know about cities? People you don't know hurrying you all the time; faces you hate, driving you—" "Did ye make out all right with Uncle Keating?" interrupted Maw peaceably. "Tol'able;" returned Cullen evasive -1 ly. Joel Beck lunged to his feet, pull- ed his coat collar high beneath his ears and went out on the porch in the sharp evening air to smoke. Maw, kicking off her shoes, crawled into a bed at the other end of the room, ostentatiously turning her back upon the two left before the fire. After a perceptible interval, Cullen jerked .,his chair alongside of Patty Jessup, sliding a heavy arm around her waist. "Miss me much, Patty?" An unfamiliar odor of perfumed shaving soap and fine tobacco emanat- ed from him. In that moment Patty Jessup realized forlornly that a gulf of experience yawned between them. Unable to bridge that gulf and tor- mented by shyness, she subsided into a state of unhappy -dumbness. (To be continued.) For Sore Feet—Mlnard's Liniment.
