Here is mine: Re- move seeds from 12 large red sweet peppers and put the peppers through your food chopper. Sprinkle with one "| tablespoon of salt and let stand three or four hours, then drain, put in a pot, and add three cups of sugar and one pint of vinegar. Boil gently till the consistency of jam--about one hour, Turn into sterilized glasses and, when cold, cover with melted paraffin. This recipe makes six glasses." 7B.

The black velvet day wrap collared with er- mine 1s not omitted here, and printed velvet coats, especially in hip or three-quarters legnth are now enough to occasion comment. While the white cape has achieved the right to be termed a Palm Beach classic, it is second this season to the three-quarter white coat. This garment has an unfair advantage over the cape in that it is distinet- ly more youthful.

Do not use prepared shampoos or anything else that con- tains too much free alkall. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brit- tle, and ruins it. ' The best thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, which is pure and greaseless, and is better than anything else you can use. Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsi- fled is sufficient to cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moist- en the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out eas- ily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy, wavy, and easy to manage. _ You oan get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at any drug store.
