BY BETSY CASWELL. VERY morning, these days, I find on my desk a growing stack of letters asking for recipes for “putting up” the coming Summer fruits and vegetables. Some request new combinations, some ask for “just any- thing"—but the majority ask for ‘“repeats” of the preserving recipes published last year in the column. They have been lost or destroyed since the kettles and jelly bags were put away last Fall—and, having proved uood Anger Not Good Cure For Biter Seek Cause of Habit and Try to Remove It Gradually. BY ANGELO PATRL OTHER was playing with baby before putting him in his crib for the afternoon nap. Baby stroked mother’s arm gently, and then, without warning, bit it as hard as he could inseparable. And =0, because June is the month of brides and because brides must be beautiful, we devote this entire week to brides. It is primarily for brides- to-be, but there's nothing to prevent | brides of the past and future, as well | as the present, from joining our dis- cussions this week. | For brides of the past, particularly June brides, this time of the year ought to recall charming memories, ought to make them more beauty- | conscious. For brides of the future— | again beauty tc bring you a step closer to the day. ‘ Brides of the past—I'll ask you to look back. Wouldn't you say that | relaxation should be the first rule for | brides? Don't you agree that the big things, even the most elaborate wed- ding; the details of church, choir, floral decorations, reception, gifts to the bridesmaids—all these seem &mooth enough a take care of themselves? Evervthing does get done somehow. But what is it that saps one's strength and leaves many a bride rundown, jittery, nervous? What, if not rushing, shopping, little details. ! There's no thrill as grand as shop- | ping for one's trousseau—apparel, ac- cessories, silks and linens. The mis- | take is in trying to get everything | ®ll at once. Why not shop for im- mediate necessities only, and save your | strength? For immediate needs, the wise one | maps out a list, floor by floor in her favorite store or two. Saves steps and | strength. And why not delegate some | of the shopping (the less important | shopping, perhaps, or shopping of | standard articles) to either friends or the personal service shopping bureaus. | Clever, efficient people are employed | in these departments. Furthermore, | you can have articles sent home on epproval. Still further, if you are house-furnishing get only the essen- tials and, at that if your purse per. mits, let a decorator do the rushin for you, bringing you samples for | your O.

Their pectin content is low—therefore as a general rule they should be cooked in com- bination with other fruits, having a high amount of pectin, or homemade or commercial pectin should be added. The first two recipes are new—the others are old friends to those of you who followed the column last year! BAKED CHERRY PRESERVES. 4 quarts sour cherries. 4 quarts sugar. 1-gallon stone jars.

Mother, startled and angry, slapped baby soundly and scolded him vigorously. “You are a bad baby to bite your mother like that. You hurt me. You are old enough to know better than that even if you are only 2." Baby cried loudly, angrily and. get- ting & good start, continued until he was tired out. “Now what do you think of that? Wasn't it terrible? To bite his own mother like that? Just look at my arm. Black and blue, and almost cut through. Imagine! I slapped him thoroughly. Maybe he will not try that again.” But he did, and not long afterward. He was in an affectionate mood, coo- ing and gurgling, talking about his | doggie, his dinner, his dear mummie, | and then he bit her. Again she slapped | him But this time she was deeply troubled. What ailed this child. Wasn't | he human? Was he going to be vicious? “Don’t be silly, Caroline. He was loving you and his emotion over- ‘flnw‘d and took that way out. He bit you out of sheer joy in your | presence. Babics his age sometimes do that. “Or his teeth may hurt him. Look at his gums. Rub them with a wad of gauze dipped in boric acid or witch hazel, something to cool them off. A | bit of ice in a clean linen rag for him to suck on helps. “And give him a coral to bite on for a while. The impulse to press his teeth or his gums down hard against things is likely to come an% time. Just give him something he can bite on and maybe he won't use you. He isn't being a monster child at all. Give him a chance to get over this spell.” Many little children take a bite now and then when they are in the teeth- ing stage. Their emotions overflow. Or their gums hurt. Or there is some lack in their diet. Study the cause and do your best to remove it. The phase soon passes. It is hard to con- trol oneself when one is bitten sud- denly and sharply, but one must try. Show the child that he made a mistake; look sternly at him, say: “No, no.” 1If he is old enough, say: “That was a bad mistake. You must not use your teeth on people. Here. Bite your coral. Bite this erust. Wash vour mouth with this solution.” In- dicate that there are other ways of getting comfort than by biting the | hand that feeds one. Some children bite their cribs. Some bite themselves. Some bite their pets. Don't be freightened. Set about cor- recting a mistake.

Rediscovered the other day was one of those Summer necessities that we were so enthusiastic about when it first made its appearance, and have continued to be interested in ever since. It is a Summer dusting powder that is put out by a well known maker of deodorants and contains deodor- ant properties. It comes in the usual dusting pow- der size box with a big puff and we were amazed to read its low price, because it always sold for $1 for- merly. This is a splendid item to put on your list of things to take along to the Summer cottage. There is nothing fussy or extravagant about it, but just a good, wholesome bath powder that keeps you fresh and dainty every time you use it. Its present attractive price is 35 cents. This manufacturer also puts out a cream that is called a deodorant ice, as it melts so quickly into the skin and puts a stop to all perspiration odors.

S0 many women we know have always wanted to make themselves erocheted rugs, but have hesitated to begin the work because it seemed such o task. They need no longer put it off for that reason, for a great many at- tractive rugs can be made of combinations of the crocheted triangle that is the basis of this pattern. We suggest three different ones on the instruction sheet, and probably you will find other possibilities for combining the pieces. Another good thing about the pattern is that you can use up old hose, or old rags, if you prefer them to rug yarn, and thus obtain a very inexpensive rug. ‘The pattern envelope contains complete, easy-to-understand illustrated directions, with diagrams to aid you; also what crochet hook and what material and how much wou will need.
