NANCY PAGE Yellow Tomato Preserve Uses Ginger Root In Nancy’s mother's garden there were red tomatoes and yellow tomatoes. The red ones were used for canning, made into purce and combined with other vegetables in canned soup. The unripe red tomatoes were used in green naise.

This was one of Nancy's favorite relishes. This year, however, she decided to put up some of the yel- ow ones as a preserve. To hold this she chosc some cunning little brown crockery jars from France and some tall glasses. The preserves looked almost like orange marmalade when finished. But the flavor was quite different. She used three pounds of the yellow pear tomatoes. The remaining ingredi- ents were three pounds of sugar, three | lemons and a large piece (at least three inches) of green ginger Toot. The tomatoes were scalded and then peeled. She covered them with sugar and put them to stand in a covered earthenware jar overnight. In the morning she poured off the sirup and boiled it until it was quite thick and clear. She skimmed it toward the last. She grated the lemon rinds, using the yellow part, cut them in half and ex- tracted the juice. She put in the pulp, too, taking out the seeds. Then she added tomatoes and ginger root and boiled the whole mixture until the fruit was clear. This was then poured in the sterilized pots and covered with paraffin.

WASHINGTON, DorothyDixl The Anonymous Letter May Have One Good Use in Conveying a Word of Kindly Advice or Criticism. A New Use for the Anonymous Letter Thinks It .Can Fill a Long-Felt Want THE anonymous letter-writer is justly regarded as a cowardly assassin who, under cover of the darkness and the certainty of being undiscovered, stabs his victim in the back. There are no more contemptible creatures than these wielders of the poisoned pen who attack from ambush; who write the scurrilous things to which they are ashamed to sign their names: who disseminate scandals that they are too craven to be responsible for, and make infamous charges that they have not the courage to back up. The anonymous letter is invariably venomous and designed to wound. It 1s concelved in'envy and born in malignity, and its reason for being is to arouse fealously and cause suspicion, to break hearts and wreck homes, but I often think what a pity it is that this should be true, and that the anonymous letter cannot be turned from its fell purpose and made into an instrument of good instead of evil. For there are so many people—good, kind, well-meaning people—who need a word of friendly criticlsm, a whisper of warning, or to have their attention called to some little lapse in manner or taste that puts them at a disadvantage. And such is human vanity that we cannot tell them ‘of their faults without losing thelr friendship. Since few of us are concelted enough to believe that we are absolutely per- fect, Heaven only knows why we should so bitterly resent being reminded of our weaknesses. Bul we do. We cannot endure knowing that our acqualntances perceive our shortcomings. Stil can we bear them put thefr knowledge into words, and we turn instinctively from even the kindliest critic to the palaverer who plasters us over with fulsome fattery. MOST of us, after having lost a valued friend through telling him some un- pleasant home truth, learn to keep silence, and to say to those we love only the things they would like to hear. But still the need of the criticism or advice or warning is there, and the curious part of it is that we lLnow how glad they would be to have it and how they would profit by it, if only it could one in their circle does not admire them as much as they think he or she does. considered almost infallible. He had little schooling, but he has read and studied and thought until he is a highly cultured man. versationalist. in mind, but his table manners are those of a savage. ment. death if he suspected it. Those of us who know this man love him and admire him too much to dare risk his friendship by telling him of the blunders he makes in table etiquette, s0 he will go on grieving the judicious and being mocked by the scornful. Two anonymous lines calling his attention to his mistakes would make him correct them instantly and no kindly ties would be broken by the criticism. 1 know another man, a fine, honest, intelligent, competent and industrious chap, who is making a failure in business because he talks too much about him- self. He is a self-centered egotist who takes the center of the stage, turns the spotlight on himself and monologues about his own virtues and possessions until people flee in terror from him and walk around the block to avoid meeting him. He can't understand why he can never hold a job, and why everything he under- | | | takes somehow goes blooey. an enemy of him, but he might be saved if some kind friend would write him an anonymous letter telling him that nobody on earth wants to hear the details of his private life, or cares a rap about the smart things his children said or what a wonderful dog he has or what a perfectly marvelous and gifted being he is and apprising him of the fact that success goes to the listeners, not the bally- hooers. P KNOW another man who is losing his wife. She is a beautiful and feminine creature, one of the women who can no more live without love and admira- tion than a flower can without sun. The husband really worships her and won her in a whirlwind courtship that was so ardent and tempestuous that it literally swept her off her feet and into his arms. But he is one of those men who believe that after a man has married a woman the love-making should end and she should be content to take his de- votion for granted. So he never pays his wife any attention. He never tells her that he loves her or that she is beautiful or attractive and she is beginning | to hunger and thirst for sentiment, so that it is merely a matter of time until some other man comes along and feeds it to her. Nobody would dare to warn might make him get busy, and save him. I know a woman who is handing her husband over to other women. 1s a gay, pleasure-loving young chap who likes pretty women and pretty clothes, who delights in going around to places of amusement and making a joyous good time out of life. But the wife is all mother and no wife. It is too much bother to dress herself up, so she lets herself look frowsy around home. She is never willing to step out with her husband, and when she does she is a killjoy, be- cause she spends her time wondering if they put the cat out and if the baby has got uncovered. And so husband is beginning to leave her at home and | find playmates on the outside. her up to the fact that when a mother is staying at home holding a baby's hand while it sleeps some other woman may be holding her husband’s hand. I know another woman who is driving her husband and children away from her by her nagging, and other women who are killing their children’s love for them by their petty tyrannies, and other women who are ruining their children’s lives by spoiling them, yet no one dares tell them of their faults be- cause no one wants to hurt their feelings or turn them into enemies. That is why I think that the kindly anonymous letter would fill a long- felt want. DOROTHY DIX. WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO BY MEHRAN K. THOMSON.

They had ined an all-night trip to avoid trafic. It was a cheerful, happy little group that motored through the Hudson Vehicular Tunnel.

It was just | that sort of night and the anticipation | | of visiting Washington increased the ecstasy of the moment. No one was sleepy and wisecracks were bandied about.

NO, you don't,” suggested another, “there a shorter route than that. Look on the map.” The mere driver, however, turned down Broad street and in three (or maybe it was four) shakes of a lamb's tail was completely lost. A lone policeman was found standing on a corner and the party appealed to him. The bluecoat suggested three routes out of Philadelphia, none of which was understood by the rider “The last time I went through he said one, “I remember we rode straight down you-may-call-it street and turned right d struck the Baltimore said the cop. that way or through Fairmount There is still another way out— 1 recall when we were through here four years ago.” said one of the ladies, “that it seems that we turned left down here where there is a church and then went condition | right and furned past a filling station.

After driving around Philadelphia for an hour and a half they contrived to reach an open road leading to Wilming- ton.

One of the paly was asleep. “T wonder if we can get some coffee.” suggested one of the women. “I think T'll faint if I don’'t have some- thing warming.” “Look out.” ex- claimed _another, “the road divides here and you'd bet- ter stop and read the sign!” In the wntime the mere driver had raced by nding the brakes, he backed up and | serutinized the signs. “Both these roads take us to Baltimore the one to the right,” s Wask n. “Le | first,” said the driver. s to me | that’ somebody told me to bear to the lefc.” “Weil, personally, I don't care,” | replied the Wa onian. ~One's as as far as I'm doncerned. | Youre doing the driving.” The driver grunted and followed the road to the right, where they met up with a de- “If we had borne left,” said the man at the wheel, “we would have avoided the detour.” “I'm awfully sorry.” said the Washington man.
