WOMA NANCY PAGE || Pickled Peaches Make Relish for Winter. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. “pickled peaches are so easy to make and so easy to take during the Winter months that it is strange more women @0 not put them up.” Lois made this Temark during a bridge game. “Do you really think so, Lois? Isn't it an awful nuisance to peel them, and how d: you know when they are done?” “Wait until we finish this rubber and Tl tell you just how I make them. I learned from Nancy. Really, she has the best collection of recipes I ever have seen.” Here are the rules which Lois gave while the group sipped their tea and enjoyed the toasted mushroom sand- wiches. “T choose small, fully ripe peaches. Cling stones may be used. In fact, one year when I bought some peaches thinking they were free stones I dis- covered they were clings. I could not use them for canning, so I pickled them. They were a bit hard to sepa- rate from stone when they were served, but folks did not complain.” “Sometimes I wipe them carefully with a cloth. This removes the fuzz. Other times I Feel them. It is a mat- ter of choice, largely. I stick a whole clove in about one peach out of six. “The pickling sirup is made by boil- ing eight cups of sughr in four cups of vinegar. Brown sugar may be used, but I prefer white. In this sirup I put a small a}:xoe bag holding six or eight whole cloves and about three inches of broken stick cinnamon. I let this boil for 10 minutes, then add part of the peaches and let them cook until they msnbe plerced easily with a skewer or a rp tine of a fork. I put L . After they are all sk and pour it over the jars, seal, and that's all there is to it. iJocn't 1t sound easy?” A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK of the old State, War and Navy Secretaries of War. Both have been Secretaries of State. , oddly enough, both are former members of the same New York law firm. The portrait of Root as Secretary of State is vastly different in ap- pearance from that of Root, Secretary of War. Already it has & place among the former heads of the State Department in the big blue and black reception room or on corridor walls where the collection is displayed. Stimson's, too, will be placed . ‘when he retires from the cabinet. ‘The portrait of Stimson, done in the days when he was Becretary of War, probably draws more comment from visitors than that of any other of the ‘War Becretaries. : It is in the ornate reception room of Becretary Hurley's office, right opposite the entrance door. Guides point out the portrait to visitors, for it is the only portrait of a War Secretary show- ing him clad in riding togs. It is a slimmer, younger, snappler Jooking Stimson than the present-day dean of the Hoover cabinet. Just why Stimson elected to have his portrait painted wearing riding togs is not _entirely clear. The story is told that he was moved to be painted that way by the reported circumstance that President Roosevelt | , first met him when riding through Rock / !(Reek Park and was impressed by the | dashing manner in which Stimson 4 forced his mount through the creek and up a steep bank to meet the Chief | ‘Executive. ‘Nowadays the Becretary of State finds it necessary to work rather hard at keeping his figure at somewhere near the slender alertness of those former times. He still rides. Two or three times & week he may be observed on the ‘bridle paths of Rock Creek Park and other sections of the Capital. But he is not as reckless as he was in the days he first met Roosevelt. He is still a crack tennis player. ‘Whenever he finds time he slips off to the courts on the White House grounds mflnd the mansion for a few vigorous was & member of the Roosevelt He “tennis cabinet” and has never lost his Jove for the game.

BEDTIME STORIES Brown's Boy Gets a Thrill. as there results no il stimulation in a thrill, —Farmer Brown's Boy. ‘Whistler the Marmot had waited un- til the last minute before diving to safety under the rocks as Talons the Eagle swooped at him. He was sput- tering angrily as he disappeared, yet he was enjoying the experience to a certain extent. It was a sort of game, the game of life. He was angry be-| cause he had becn disturbed in the migst of a meal, and because he felt it the right and proper thing to be angry with any one who tried to catch him. At the same time he always got a thrill from seeing how long he could walt, yet escape, for Talons came that way frequently and had tried many times to catch him. He is very fond of Marmot. . Now always before when Talons had missed Whistler he had at once checked his swoop and kept on his way to look for some other less wary Marmot, but this time he didn’t do this. “This fellow thinks he is very smart and needs a lesson,” said Talons to himself. “I'll try giving him a sur- prise. It won't cost me anything and I may get a dinner out of if. ~Anyway it will be some satisfaction to give him a real scare. He needs it.” So instead of continuing on his way he dropped down on a rock just back of the place where Whistler had dis- appeared. In order to see him there Whistler would have to come well out of his hole. There was another rock which would prevent his seeing Talons by just poking his head out. “f won't have to wait long,” thought Talons. “I've watched him many times from high up in the sky. He always expects me to go on and he always ops out before I am out of sight and | he first thing he does is to look up in the sky to see which way I have Well I hope he’ll do the same thing this time.” Now all the time Farmer Brown's Boy was watching with excited inter- est from a hiding place he had built among the rocks close by. He had had something of a thrill when Talons had swooped and Whistler had waited until the last minute, but now when he saw Talons alight on that rock he got more of a thrill, for he guessed just what Talons was planning. Was he about to see the smartest watchman of the heights outwitted? Was he to see the end of Whistler the Marmot? The very thought made him uncomfortable. In the first place he had become so much interested in this little fellow whose whistle had so fooled him the first tixes he had heard it that he wanted to know him and his ways better. Then, too, he re-| minded him of his cousin Johnny | Chuck, back home on the Green Meadows, and Johnny Chuck and Farmer Brown's Boy are old friends.| Johnny is & favorite of his and he} didn't like to think of Johnny's cousin being caught by that great bird with the hooked bill and great curved claws. “Of course,” thought he, “I can scare Talons away. I wonder if I ought to. 8o long There's | pense Farmer Brown’s Boy waited. THE EVENING By Thornton W. Burgess. It doesn't seem right to allow Whistler to be killed. At the same time Talons isn't doing anything wrong. He has to eat to live and I suppose he has just as much right to live as Whistler has. He is simply obeying the laws of Old Mother Nature. If he is smart enough to catch Whistler I suppose I ought not to interfere. Well I'll wait and see what happens. 1 can interfere at the last minute if I have to.” So in growing excitement and sus- He didn’t have to wait long. Talons had guessed right. Whistler was impatient. . HE DROPPED DOWN ON A ROCK JUST BACK OF THE PLACE WHERE WHISTLER HAD DIS- APPEARED. He wanted to finish his dinner. Be- sides, he knew, or thought he knew, that Talons had simply kept on his way. So it was only a few minutes before Farmer Brown's By saw his nose appear, then his whole head. Farmer Brown's Boy wanted to cry out and warn him, but he held his tongue. He fairly shook with excitement. It was a thrilling moment. Whistler waited an instant, then came wholly out and the first thing that he did was to look up into the sky for Talons. Not seeing him, he sat up for a general look-around. This was ‘Talons’ chance. He pitched down | from that rock with big claws spread. But the instant he moved Whistler saw him, leaped to one side and darted under a convenient rock. Farmer Brown's Boy stifled the yell he had been about to utter and sighed wita thankfulness. (Copyrisht, 1931.) e Luncheon Salad.

ONE ELABORATELY EMBROIDERED PILLOW TOP WAS KUINED BY CHEAP MATERIAL, The person who embroiders should | be careful to have the material worthy of the work put upon it. This was brought forcibly to my. mind recemly; when & woman showed me a quilted | ted and | which was on her guest room bed. The | pattern was good, one of the old-time | favorites. The colors were well chosen. | The material for the applique was fair, but the foundation was a cheap grade | of ordinary cotton cloth or muslin, as, this textile is called in some parts of | the world. This foundation cheapened the whole quilt. It was tawdry. The woman could well afford to use better | material. She was either skimping or else she was careless. I remember one elaborately embroid- ered pillow top which was sent in to me when I was judging a needlework contest. ‘The stitchery was excellent, and the medium was silk. The back- ground was impossible it was so sleazy. It was pitiful that so much work should be put onto & textile that spelt fallure immediately. It is said of hooked rugs that their wear is limited to that of the founda- tion. If that is poor, it matters not how fine the work put on it, the rug 1s doomed to a short life. This can be #ald of other forms of needlecraft. Not only does a poor grade of material but it shortens the life of the thing There is a suitability which should exist between a foundation and the embroidery medium.

PEARS' SOAP STAR, WASHINGTON, NATURE’S CHILDREN BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. Tlustrations by Mary Foley. CXXIL CLOTHES MOTHS. Tineidae Family. | NOWN all over the world as the destroyer of your best coat and fabrics, the child of ths moth cr miller, as she is known, has been the bane of house- wives since Bible times. Even in those days people were warned egainst her, yet she has not been wiped out of existence and she is | not formidable in her looks or acts. Millions of dollars cculd be saved if a whole State would have a moth day and exterminate her whole tribe. The moth mother never touches food or fabric. Her children do all the harm. They are tough creatures, tco. Some of them can stand freezing tem- peratures. They have been known to Temain in the egg state for years, when the fabric was in cold storage or in a | very cold climate, and when the right conditions were present the eggs hatched. The mother is a buff-colored creature nct over an inch across the wing tips. She flies about the house or runs over the surface of the goods she expects to settle her family upon. Tiny* specks, one-tenth of the size of a pinhead, are laid on the selected spot. They are seldom laid in groups but are scattered over the material. One moth will lay as many as 150 eggs. The youngsters, when first hatched, ars only one-sixteenth of an inch long. They begin to eat the food set before them, be it wool, hair, feathers, furs, upholstered furniture cr whatnot. If the weather conditions are just right | and the infant undisturbed he will be grown up in eight weeks. One set of children lives in silken cases which they drag about with them like a baby with his crib blanket. When the young- ster decides to grow up he merely adds to his blanket more silk. Wrap- ping himself in this robe, & tough cloth, he continues growing up. At this stage he turns from a creamy white to brown and in three or four weeks is a full- grown moth. The size of the family is governed by the heated condition of the dwelling. They, however, seem to thrive in the natural heat ¢f the Summer. Clothes placed in storage should be first exposed to the air and sunshine. It pi d in storage with the moth eggs already placed on the fabric they will hatch out when they are in a very warm closet. They are especlally affected by cedar. If tight-fitting cedar chests are used even if the eggs hatch the smell is too great for them. If they are partly grown they can overcome its power and g0 on with their destructive work. (Copyright, 1931.) My Neighbor Says: A sweet fllling for sandwiches can be made by mixing chopped dates, figs and raisins with a little sweet cream. Spread on buttered slices of Graham bread, this makes a sultable sandwich for the child’s lunch box.
