| Nmost All Vegetables in Season May Be Canfed For Winter Use Many housewives who always put up preserves, fruits and jellies never think of the variety they might add to the family's winter diet by cann- | ing certain vegetables, says the Unit: ed States department of agriculture, The economical housewife whe spec- falizes In putting up sweets and des- serts does not usually realize that for luxuries she is spending time, money and labor, part of which, at least, might profitably be used on the less popular vegetables, which pos- Bess greater food yalue. Caulifiower, a vegetable which, even when it is in season, is over- looked by many housewives, may be canned and kept for winter use by following this recipe: or water seal outfit and 40 minutes in steam pressure. Remove tighten covers, Invert, and cool. Keep im dark place if in glass. A row of jars af well-canned cauli- flower makes as attractive an exhi- bit on the housewife's shelves as does a row of well-canned peaches. Carrots, Parsnips and Sweet Potatoes Other vegetables 'that offer inter- esting possibilities are carrots, par: snips, and sweet potatoes. These will all be found satisfactory if put up in the following manher: Scald one to five minutes in boil ing water. Plunge in cold "water and remove skins. Pack whole or sliced. Add boiling water and a {level teaspoonful of salt to each pint Place rubber and top and partially tighten. (Cap this and solder vent hole in cap.) Sterilize one and a half hours im hot water bath, ome hour in water-seal outfit; or one hour with five pounds steam pressure. Re- mo¥e jars, tighten covers, invert and cool. (Remove cans, invert, cool, and label.) Carrots may be canned whole, siie- .ed lengthwise, or sliced crosswise. It will add to the attractiveness of the exhibit to have some jars up in each Way. Caulifiower, In canning caulifiower, as well as cabbage and Brussels sprouts, the products should be soaked in cold salt water for about 39 minutes be- fore blanching. Blanch five minu- tes In boiling water. Remove and plunge in cold 'water. Pack in jar or tin, add boiling water and one teaspoonful of salt to the quart. - Place rubber and top; partially tigh- ten.

NEW THINGS, Little zouave. jackels of cretonne trimmed Turkish fashion with white soutache braid; are the latest accom- Paniment to the summer gown. They come in various flewered patterns. The newest thing in every-day hats is one of burnt orange velvet, with a stitched brim faced with soft white hemp. A band of the velvet goes round the crown, fastening at the side with three velvet tabs edged with peacock shaded _ shell disks which lie on the brim. The hats come in other colors. A beautiful new ribbon recently imported shows a terra cotta satin background overshot with silyer bro- cade. It is fourteen inches wide and would make a handsome opera . Specially designed for tennis are the thin crepe de chine swedters in broad awning stripes, They are fin- ished with. fringed sashes. Lovely curtains for the summer cottage are of marquisette with a border of quaint oriental figures cut}! from a eretonne of Chinese design The figures are shown in shaded blues and grays and the silhouette effect is most unusual. For golfing wear, the latest idea Is the large soft Mexican felt hat em- broidered about the edge with black silk and having a black bead chain around the crown. It eomes in sev- eral colors. 1 The Eugenic Woman. Taller, darker women, clothed in more, sensible dress, will typify the "eugenic woman"' of the future, Dr. A. J.

Betterment at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, "The ideal woman of the eugenic age will be plump and well rounded, but net fat," said Dr. Read. "Her complexion will be ruddy or brown, not pale as that of present day wo- men, because the pale skin is a badge of disease rather than of health. "Present day. fashiong are advanc- ing toward: health fashions. Wo- men's dress is much more sensible than twenty years age and women generally are becoming more sensi- ble in dress. The -hygienie. dress, however, should be suspended from the shoulders, leaving the waist free." Dr. David Starr Jordan, Chancel- lor of Leland Stanford Jr., univer- sity, discussing "eugenics and war," said the European conflict is drain- ing Europe of its best blood and will leave its impression upon several generations. Like Boys Best. Will universities . have to supply dormities for girls because they cannot secure rooms In private homes? This is the question which is agitating some university officials A number of board- ing house keepers who have had considerable experience in $ccommo- dating both young men and young women give thelr opinion boys vs. girls as a rooming proposition. Boys are not in their rooms so much, de- clares one; Neither do they inter- fere with household arrangements, want rainwater to wash their hair, | nor are they "forever dabbing out handkerchiefs and hose in the bath- room." . 1 "The moral responsibility is too great," another is quoted as saying. "MK a woman is conscientious--and one who is not eculd not be permit- ted to keep girls--she does mot want girls under her care to do things she would not want her own daughter to do. The landlady must sit up and worry when her girls havé gone pie- nicking for fear won't get home on time. She gives the boys a lateh- key and goes peacefully off to her slumbers."

Ia spite of the side flare this does not mean more empleness over the hips. Take, for instance, one of the hew skirts of a tailored suis. The front of the skirt is a wide box plait, the sides and back of the skirt are laid in two-inch plaits, but they are set into the skirt ®t about hip bone depth. Two belfs, oné at the top apd one five inthes below, hold the plaits down flat over the hips. These belts are about oné and one-half in- ches wide, made of the material, and they stop where the plaiting stops at the sides, with pointed ends and a translucent button. Another skirt of an afternoon taf-, feta gown has & front panel; the rest of the skirt is circular and gathered into the belt. is eharming enough in line and tex- ture to require as a trimming but a cord and tassel of silver caught at one side of the brim. The fad of wide transparent hats is one most in keeping with the summer, and this hat, so severely plain, bears the mark of the extreme cachet of the mode. The brim has a flirtatious lilt, only possible in a hat so sheer. This hat like the other transparent hats, may answer for both formal &nd informal wear. ---------------- To Prevent Fraying. .
