FART I. saw her daughter genie out of her Though seven years had passed, Mrs. Andrew Mitchell remembered' detail of her daughter Muriei's wed- ding photo'graphical:ly. She remembered what a pang it gave her that it was the hand of Muriel's old nurse, Norah Fagan, and not her own hand, that bestowed the last straightening -out twitch to Mur- lel;s white satin train as it rippled from thevestibule into the aisle to the wedding march from "Lohengrin." She remembered how strangely solemn Muriel's father looked as he stood bythe bride and gave her away to Henry Alderson. It was a father's l=andand not a mother's. Outwardly the picture ef all that the mother ef a bride should: be, Mrs, 'Mitchell, through the service that spelt iunspaakable tragedy for her, carried an insurgent heart and a mind of mutiny. When the minister uttered those dreadful words, "If any man can. ' show just cause why theymay not lawfully be ,tined together, let hien ,now speak, or else hereafter hold his 'peace," she felt like crying out from i the turmoil of esbellion in . her soul that a monstrous robbery was going on under the sanction of the Church end 'the eyes of minister and 'congrega- i tion. For her to be reconciled was to compound a felony. What has a mother to do with her daughter's wedding except to prepare the victim for the sacrifice? She never canmake ready her own mind, for the event. To others who looked one it was a marriage attar the long-established order,, but to the motbea• it'was like a fu=neral, The rest might start and smile; crate,: murmur and be curious; whisper behind their hand's and make { their :supercilious ;•comparisons. 'fo ;thein it was an impeesanal affair. But ,the mother, t'hranrglt a blur of tears, life almost as though the Angel of Death said, "Come!" Her daughter in the final hours had clung to her and petted her as much as : the dressmaker, with pine izlr her mouth, would permit; had cried and promised`; was fond and kept repeat- ing .the assurance that; ' she would never, never go fax away or be 'ab- sent a Tong time; but she took the promise warm on her lips to the erasure of a husband's kisses, ; and. er an augwere About ruse Sense' fat Ilene Canning. .'. friend of n=inewas rocenbly,:'Wil- hite of her experience at a church ruts 'n ' ga sale, There were 'MC my -rove jars of string boars on sate. •'.Phey had been easefully graded, cleaned, packed and. canned. The color was fresh and br'iglit ,and everyone woiilder- ed how any woman could spare ; !uch a generous eonitributio 1 from her panitx y. Feeling, that there rnuit he esome reason for 's=uch a 'liberal contribution, the donee of the canned goods was found and asked, "Why ‘dict; you gave so- many nacre of beans to ;this sale?" "Oh, my faamily hada hear • tjike. last week,"'she explained. '"They -said I had served bea=ns about three tinier a week all through the fall and 'hat, they •served notice then and there ,that they wouldn't eat another been --all winter." This aanr,e lady stopped at the gro- cery store on the way home and _,;pur-• chased two .cans of ;tomatoes She, ex- plained that sire had not tan=ned any tomatoes last season though the,zani- ily :liked them. Her cans were. all filled before tomatoes . came on, she said. Now, one can see that this woman, was a poor tanner. In spite of : the fact that she did her work carefully and scientifically, she xue!gleoted the first point' in efficient canning ,which is to have a good praetnoal program made Pout beforehand. At the '.min -1 ning of the season the home, c.. nerl should ask' herself these few ques- tions: I. What varieties of fruits and vegetables do my family like best? 2. About iow many of;eaeh of these would make up a good canned food budget? 3..Can T' plan my garden .to assist the ,erfficiency of my 'canning' 'pro- gram? .•K. Working -backwards en these ;ques- tions we find the ou standing fact' that the cheapest foods in. money.cost which a housewife can serve are can- ned vegetables raised iii the, Forme garden, and ,canned when they are at ,their best. The cost, outside of labor iu hozne-grown vegetables, .s practi- cally reduced to seed and cai nin - equipnient. Asparagus is a delicious and e t i- ful vargetente to add' fon' variety. --How many farmers are thee that own an vsParaguS. bed, yet do not know the taste of 'Warags s? A few cans put up will make a very delicious, health- ful and acceptable variety. Beans, 'spinach and other greens, beets, carrots•, tomatoes, peas, cern. (either on e oil' the fob), are no long- er ra luxury of a few short days in: the summer as rbhey were, once. Through the development • 'of early and. late varieties, a judicious series of plant- ings, and 'the easy, •safe method of chinning now in use, they have become a year -around food. Think folks, do you realize what a large portion of yeti life, you spend in eating...With the important: part whcch ritamines' have been found to play m health and growth, a vagetabIie garden hs become' of even more vital portance than ever before. Plant a variety: - of six or more vegetables especially adapted for canning and you will not wear out the family's pa- tience by serving one kind over and over. Of fruits there ihould be still a larg- er variety. Don't overload the pro= gram with any one kind unless you can exchange with some `friend, which_ can often be done with profit to both parties. Of course, the economical housewife will ,can mostly those fruits grown at ,or near the home which. 'can. be had when freshest laavd for the least money. It is not always extravagant; to buy a case of juicy -pineapples in the interest of variety. Pointed Pars..
