Grapes OUR YOUNG WOMEN are so often subject to headache--are languid, pale and nervous--because their blood is thin or insufficient. They are not really sick and hesitate to com- plain, but they lack that ambition and vivacity which istheir birthright. They donotneed drugs--but do need the tonic and nourishment in Scott's Emulsion that makes richer blood, fills hollow cheeks, suppresses nervousness and es- tablishes strength. Nourishmentalone makesblood and Scott's Emulsion is the "essence of concentrated nourishment, free from wines or opiates.

Grape Juice. To prepare--pick the stems from the fruit and cover with enough wa- ter to be seen between the grapes. Cook until the seeds are free and the skins look pink or have lost their color, then strain. Return the juice to the fire and boil 20 minutes; then to each quart add a cupful of sugar; cook ten minutes longer and bottle in airtight bottles, dipping the corks in melted paraffin. Grape Juice Ice Cream. To a cupful of grape juice add a pint of thin cream and sugar to sweeten a tablespoonful of lemon juice, mix and freeze. It will be a beautiful watermelon pink. : Grape Jam. Remove the skin from the pulp of well-washed grapes ahd put them in separate utensils; heat the pulp with a cupful of water and press through a sieve to remove the seeds; add the skins to the pulp and weigh. To each pound of fruit add three-fourths of a pound of sugar and just enough bary & Practical | Home Dress Making Lerrons Prepared Especially For This N. ewspaper by Pictorial Review NEW SKIRT, WITH SIDE PLEATS. pleats, It closes at one side under a side pleat.

The If one has never had any previous ex- perience with cutting out a skirt there Is surely nothing about this model to cause misgivings. The first step is to carefully fold the material; then place into position first' the back gore of the skirt. The front edge of the pattern will rest along the selvage of the ma- terial and the side edge on the fold. It will be necessary to plece the sided to give the required width, so the plecing is placed opposite the front gore and just before the beit. The front gore is water to prevent burning. slowly for 40 minutes. Grape Sherbet. . Take three pounds of Concord grapes, three lemons, three pints of water and three cupfuls of sugar. | Wash the grapes and put them in a | granite pan, mash and squeeze out yall the juice; measure and add an equal amount of water, the lemon juice and sugar. The sugar and wa- ter, if boiled to a syrup, will make a smoother sherbet. The amount of water should be allowed when mea- | suring. Freeze as usual. | Cook A pretty novelty is crystallized jgrapes. Select firm, large grapes in perfect bunches; wash carefully and dip in white of egg, then in pulver- {ized sugar. Arrange on a platter jon a bed of grape leaves. For grape jelly the grapes;should be underripe. Prepare them as for grape juice, then add the sugar to the juice and cook until it thickens {in a cold dish, when a teaspoonful is tried. ) ---------- | Cult Of a Good Complexion. By Gwen Sears. If you mghe up your. mind you are going to have a good complexion, the first thing necessary is to give up eating sweets and greasy foods. Cut away all the fat from the meat you eat, give up pastry and bon'bons and use sugar sparingly. Hot bread and biscuit must not be partaken of, al- though that a day or two old may be indulged in moderately. The next step toward a clear skin is to keep the system flushed, and this may be accomplished by mild purgatives. Afterwards a glass of hot water be- fore breakfast will be all that is nec- essary to keep the system flushed. This glass of hot water must not be given up after the skin improves, but should become a constant habit. Cold water may be taken plentifully during the day, preferably between meals. Indigestion is one thing that will ruin a good complexion. It may not always be the direct cause of pimples, but it surely is the cause of a sallow and muddy skin. Steam- ing the face is an excellent treat- ment. The skin will yield sooner te treatment if it has been softened first, and steaming will do this much better than anything else. First have a bowl, some soft tow- els, white soap, and a complexion brush laid ready for immediate use Then procure another basin and a large Turkish towel. Almost fill the basin with boiling water and envel- ope your head and the basin with the towel so the steam cannot escape. If the steam is too dense, lift a corner of thé towel to allow a little toescape. It is difficult to tell ex- actly how long your face should be held over the steaming basin, as some skins yield to the process quicker than others, but the face may be removed from the steam bath as soon as the perspiration be- comes very profuse. After the steaming a good cream should be well rubbed into the tender skin. | WhAT Stan wou A certain type of girl will look well in a hat on sajlor lines with broad brim and rather high, sloping crown. The brim is of black vel, vet, the crown of cream velvet br plush. A velvet ribbon passes straight over the wrown, is drawn closely on either side, and is pulled through the brim, coming out under- neathas a chin strap fastened with a sm#ll rhine-stone buckle on one. side. A bunch of silver grapes and leaves rests flatly on the brim beside the velvet ribbon. A very effective trimming, where all the materials are unusually ele- gant, consists of three narrow bands of velvgt about half am inch wide and drawn tightly round the crown. One rests at the joining of the brim and crown and the top one is placed a little below the top of the crown. A stiff, tallored bow of the velvet is placed directly in front on each band or a long buckle as long as the crown is high ornaments the front. A pretty feather ruche, narrow and fluffy is trimming enough for a handsome black velvet postillion shape.. The ruche should be placed about an inch and a half below the top of the crown and at the joining in the back two tall plumes wired face to face and curli ully at top stand quite a distangp above @ hat crown.

Most of them are so very busy studying art, music or the languages that domestic science re- ceives but scanty attention. Yet what subject deserves more atten- tion than this? On it depends the well-being of whole families. Why, then, should mothers allow their daughters to grow up in complete ig- norance of cooking, sewing and gah- eral house management? = A year or s0 after they leave school or college they marry and settle down in homes of their own without any idea as to w bread is baked or a stocking ned. . Scarcely one girl out of every score who marry has studied domes- tic science or has had any experience in housekeeping.

Cons quently she has one failure after an other. She faces Siscouragemont and despair before she acquires even the smallest experience. How much better it would be if all mothers would begin training their daughters in the differnt branches of domestic science wheh they are as young as thirteen or fourteen! By the time they were of a marriageable age the girls would have a fairly ef- ficient knowledge of homemaking, Let the wise mothers put their heads together and see how the do- mestic soience lessons can be arrang- ed in such a way that they will prove welcome and enjoyable to the girls and at the same time will not inter- fere with their school lessons or ex- ercise. Why not form a girls' club to meet two afternoons a week, let us say, once for sewing, once for cook- ing, and not to last longer than two hours on either afternoon? Such an idea would be sure to ap- beal to young girls. The cooking afternon should fall on the cook's afternoon off, so that the girls may take possession of the kitchen. Let us say that Monday is reserved for the sewing and Thursday for the cooking. Fach week it should meet at different homes. The mothers of the girls should take turns in enter- taining or rafher in instructing the club members, Let the girls start with the simple things. Show them how to darn stockings well for the first sewing lesson. When they can accomplish this 'satisfactorily teach them how to darn linen. Once they have learned how to mend, they should be allowed to learn the creative side, progressing from making hems and buttonholes to the cutting out and fitting of garments. In the Thursday afternoon meeting the girls should begin with boiling potatoes, which is not as simple as it sounds, and should then progress to broiling a steak and chops, working up gradually to bread baking and pastry making. Once or twice a year, preferably during the school 'vacation period, the mother should allow her daugh- ter to run the whole house for a week or two. In this way she will gain experience. The club idea is a par- ticularly practicable one, for the girls willjenjoy meeting together and will learp all the quicker for the competitipn. Some" such club, which might' be named . something like the "Efficient Housewife Club" or the "Domestic Science Students," will be of infinite value te the girls in later vears when they set up housekeeping for themselves.
