Cynthia was proud as any queen. | 8he was the most recent bride in the group and here she was ready to show off her raspberry preserves. The empty jelly glasses, the small pottery jam pots, | the eunning little preserve jars had bsen standing empty on her shelves ever since the girls had given them to her at the shower. And now they were begin- ning to be filled. Her husband was especially fond of red raspberry preserves on fresh, hot, | baking-powder biscuits. So here was the preserve. Now she had to learn how to make the biscult. But Nancy told her that it was easy. She had made the raspberry jam or preserves in two ways. The first calls for equal parta red raspberries and sugar, cooked RASPREREYV PRESERVES- together until boiling, then cooked for six_minutes, poured into clean jars and paraffined.

Object in Dreaming. e Thirty years ago Dr. Sigmund Freud | captured the imagination of the public | on this side of the Atlantic by stating | that we dreamed for the purpose of getting the things we would like to have but were afraid openly to try to get. “Wish-fulfillment” was the word. In support of this theory of wish- fulfillment the sage of Vienna took | of America’s jamous authors. Tired Model. About six months ago in one of the expensive shops on Fiity-seventh street in New York the sales girls were having & little celebration.

It sounds is that no one to this day Jas been able | a little too rich and a little indigestible, to tell the difference between some of | but the girls taking part were all young. | the mechanisms he proposed. While Freud is undoubtedly wrong about the wish-fulfillment idea, he did succeed admirably in provoking a new interest in the psychology of dreams. | Psychologists everywhere began to pay some attention to that disregarded party of mental life. And so a new and dif- | ferent purpose for or object of dream- | ing was finally proposed. ! It is now urged that we dream in| order to kecp from trying when awake | to fulfill our wishes. ‘Wish-expenditure | is the word. Through dreaming you get rid of the impulse to do the things (hat neither you nor your soclety will sanction. If you can figure out the distinction between wish-fulfillment and wish-ex- penditure, you have the story in brief And this was a big day.

Modern Laundry Expert Explains “Net Bag System” Tells How Manhattan Saves You Money By Saving Your Cloth: Present day laundry methods, which preserve clothes as well as clean them, are far superior to the old home method of rubbing -mj scrubbing, according to M F Wesely, chief of the Research De- artment of Manhattan Laundry. K{r. Wesely attributes a large part of the Manhattan Laundry’s suc- cess to their Net Bag System. Manhattan’s famous Net Bag System of washing, as described by Mr. Wesely, follows: First, the clothes are assorted according to their color and material and placed in individual net bags which bear the customer’s name and contain only that customer’s articles. Safe in the nets and protected from all metal or other hard surfaces, the clothes go into the washers. Here they are subjected to the gentle cleansing action of swirling hot suds which penetrate each garment and loosen every particle of dirt. Only the purest of Palm Oil soaps and soft, filtered water are used, after first )mvingl been inspected and tested by the Research Depart- ment. Many rinsings of fresh, clear water follow, removing every trace of dirt. This thorough care in washing is one reason why Man- hattan laundered clothes stay new- looking so much longer. Customer Praises Net Bags In a recent letter to the Man- hattan Laundry, Mrs. B writes: “. . . But the one actual fact that pleases me most is that the clothes do not show as much wear as they did when I had my laundry done at home + . . It is indeed & pleasure to recommend you « . This letter is typical of the many received by Manhattan from satis- fied customers throughout the Dis- trict of Columbia and Virginia. 3-Day Collection and Delivery Quite another Manhattan feature which has found great favor with Washington housewives js their 3- Day Collection and Delivery Ser- viee. In-this highly developed sys- tem your clothes are collected one day, laundered to your order the next and delivered to Kou prom%t]y the afternoon of the third day. For instance, if your clothes are col- lected Monday morning they are delivered Wednesday _afternoon; called for Tuesday, back home Thursday, and so on. No del:‘y. No worry. And there is no addi- tional charge for this extra service.

If we can't. we can dig & hole that will do us for the night. Anyway. I think we ale headed toward home now.

They crept into it, tired, frightened and lonesome. And then, curled up together, they forgot their troubles in sleep. (Copsrisht, 1931.)
