Sometimes we hear good women say, not without a touch of scorn, "I have no time for a vacation," mean- ing that personally they do not be- lieve in vacations. The word vacate means, to leave empty, ami hosts of conscientious women shudder at the thought of deserting anything that seems to be better for their attention. When, however, we study this subject of vacations from the right stand-, . _ point, we make some discoveries I wasn't always according to the clock, and so had plenty of chance to study her methods. She was quick, and J didn't seem to get tired; but, secretly, I used to think she paid too much at- tention to the clock and her directions. Mother always was a great believer in experience, so one day I got my chance. My packs looked wonderful. I had my jars, covers, and rubbers clean and sterilized, but it did seem so poky to test every seal, so I left it to luck.

Of course, some Vhlr^.t did keep, but I believe I had practically every mis- fortune a canner could have, and in almost every case I could trace this misfortune directly to my neglect of some, seemingly, small detail. The right equipment for the can- ning season is simple and inexpensive, and having it makes such a difference. My small, stiff-bristl.xl scrub brush, with an easy grip, is about us cheap as one with a sharp finger-cramping back. I use it to silk corn as well as for scrubbing vegetables. I also find several knives with edges that do not dull quickly and handles which fit into the palm comfortably save not only my hands but my temper as well. One of my recent additions to my preparation equipment is n large pair of sharp shears. They cut the time spent in getting greens ready amazingly. I've also found that a number of large basins for washing, rinsing, and draining make the work go faster. If you have running water, you can lessen the time spent in washing gret-ns and other vegetables by attaching a short piece of hose to the fold-water tap. This stream of water washes off the stubborn par- ticles of dirt very quickly. Either tin or glass containers may be used, but I've found the glass most practical because they may be used over and over again. Since I inherit- ed many of my jars, my collection isn't uniform, but each container has Shadows and Solids. Few persons realize how much shadows help us to Judge the form of solid objects and how much we de- 1 pend upon them . In looking at protc- graphs of tho moon, for example, It Is only the shadows that tell us whether what we see Is a hill or a hole. If the shadow falls away from the light, the eye sees a bole; If It falls toward the light, a projection. Hut the eye is easily fooled. Showing bachelor friends to another.
