The tucked blonse shown is extremely 
pretty in wasli goods, and is also very 
suitable for soft woolens like albatross, 
lansdowne or challis. 1 he waist consists 
of the front, the backs and the yoke, 
which is cut in one piece and joined to 
tomatoes; let stand five minutes, then the 
skins can be rubbed off. Remove stem 
end, then slice tomatoes. Cook until soft, 
add the sugar and stew until very thick; 
then add spices and vinegar. Let sim¬ 
mer 20 minutes, pour into jars and seal. 
Mixed Marmalade.—Take equal quan¬ 
tities of peaches, apples, pears and 
quinces that have been pared, cored and 
cut in eighths. Cook quinces in water 
to cover until almost tender. Drain and 
measure the water, hor six pounds of 
mixed fruit there should be one pint of 
water. Add quinces to the other fruit, 
place in preserve kettle with water, and 
let them cook thoroughly, but not burn. 
Take out and mash well together. Meas¬ 
ure. Clean the kettle and put them 
back with half their weight in granulated 
sugar. Let them cook very slowly two 
hours. Keep them stirred well from the 
bottom and protect with an asbestos mat 
or set the kettle in another containing 
boiling water, as on no account must the 
jam burn. Seal in small jars. 
Tomato Marmalade.—Remove the skin 
from four quarts of ripe tomatoes and 
slice. Cut six large lemons in halves, 
lengthwise, and slice very thin. Seed one 
cup of raisins. Put the tomatoes, raisins 
and lemons into a preserving kettle, in 
layers, alternating with four pounds of 
granulated sugar. Cook one hour on the 
front of stove. Then set the kettle back, 
and allow contents to simmer until it is of 
the consistency of marmalade. Put up, 
while hot, as jelly. This recipe makes 
about two and one-half quarts. When 
properly prepared no one article will be 
recognizable. I he small yellow tomatoes 
are nice for such use. 
Three Peach Recipes. 
Pickled Peaches.—For pickling select 
medium-sized peaches, ripe and firm. Rub 
off the down with a piece of flannel. To 
eight pounds of fruit use four pounds of 
granulated sugar, one quart of vinegar, 
two ounces of stick cinnamon. Boil the 
sugar, vinegar and cinnamon for five min¬ 
utes. Then put in the peaches carefully, 
a few at a time. If one likes cloves, two 
or three may be stuck in each peach. 
When the peaches are done enough to be 
easily pricked with a fork, take them out 
and put in the jar. When the peaches are 
all cooked boil the syrup till a little thick, 
pour over peaches and seal cans or jars. 
Peach Butter.—This is a nice way to 
use up peaches that are too ripe for can¬ 
ning or pickling. Pare ripe peaches, put 
in a kettle with sufficient water to cover 
peaches; when soft run through a col¬ 
ander, the stones being thus easily re¬ 
moved. To each quart of peaches thus 
prepared add V/ 2 pound of granulated 
sugar. Boil slowly till thick; add ground 
cinnamon to taste. 1 his, like all butters 
and marmalades, requires constant watch¬ 
ing to keep the fruits from burning. 
Baked Peaches.—Take firm ripe peaches 
of a good size. Rub carefully with flan¬ 
nel; make a slight cut in both ends, ar¬ 
range in the baking dish, sprinkle with 
sugar, fill the dish half full of water. 
Bake till tender. Serve either hot or cold 
with cream. helen c. Andrews. 
Mock Olives—Two quarts of green 
plums, V/ 2 tablespoonful mustard seed, 
2/ 2 tablespoonfuls salt, two quarts vine¬ 
gar. Place the plums in a stone jar with 
mustard seed and salt; turn the vinegar 
into a preserving kettle, bring to a boil 
and pour over plums. Cover closely. 
Next day drain off the vinegar, bring 
again to a boil and pour over plums while 
hot. If plums are large repeat the third 
morning. When cold place all in olive 
bottles and cork tightly. They will taste 
like real olives.

Fruit Butter and Marmalade. 
Garfield Butter.—Use two-thirds plums 
and one-third peaches. Stone the plums 
and pare and stone the peaches. Mash 
and heat slowly to boiling, boil until soft, 
then rub through a sieve. Measure the 
pulp thus obtained and to one measure of 
fruit add three-quarters of a measure of 
sugar. Boil until thick, stirring contin¬ 
ually, then put into jars and seal. 
Tomato Butter.—Seven pounds of large, 
ripe tomatoes, four pounds of brown
