Chow Chow; Sweet Tomato Pickles 
Would some good housekeeper give me a 
recipe how to make chow chow and sweet 
tomato pickles? a. j. s. 
Chow Chow.—Wash thoroughly and 
chop without paring half a peck of 
green tomatoes; chop fine one large 
head of white cabbage; pare and chop 
six large cucumbers; clean thoroughly 
and cut into small dice one bunch of 
celery and finely chop one large white 
onion. Mix all together, add half a 
cup of salt and let stand over night. 
Clean 100 tiny pickles and fifty small 
silver-skinned onions; put into separate 
jars, cover with strong salt water and 
let them stand over night. The next 
morning drain the first mixture thor¬ 
oughly, wash off the pickles and onions 
and wipe dry. Chop fine one large red 
mango pepper. Put all together into a 
preserving kettle, add two quarts of the 
best cider vinegar (dilute somewhat if 
very strong), half a pound of granu¬ 
lated sugar, half an ounce each of tur¬ 
meric and celery seed, one ounce of 
ground mustard seed. Cook 30 minutes, 
then bottle and seal. 
English Chow Chow.—This calls for 
two medium-sized heads of firm white 
cabbage, half a peck of green tomatoes, 
two quarts of firm ripe tomatoes, half 
a dozen green peppers and two red pep¬ 
pers. Chop all together as fine as you 
can and pack the mixture in layers of 
salt. Put it in a coarse bag of burlap or 
some rough material. Lay it over a 
rack placed upon a deep keg or jar and 
put a heavy press upon it. Let it drain 
in this way over night, or for 24 hours. 
A pint and a half of sugar, half a cup 
of grated horseradish, half a teaspoon¬ 
ful of ground black pepper, half an 
even teaspoonful of ground mustard, an 
ounce of white mustard seed, an ounce 
of celery seed, a tablespoonful of ground 
mace and, finally, a gill of Dutch mus¬ 
tard compose the seasonings and must 
be added to tfie mixture. After it has 
drained sufficiently moisten the whole 
with enough good cider vinegar scantily 
to cover it. This chow chow requires 
no cooking and does not have to be put 
up in sealed jars. A stone crock is all 
sufficient, if kept in a cold, dry place. 
Virginia Chow Chow.—This is an old 
recipe. One peck each of green and 
ripe tomatoes, one large, firm head of 
cabbage, six each of green and ripe 
peppers, six large white onions and two 
bunches of celery. Chop the vegetables 
fine, sprinkle over them a cupful of 
coarse salt and let them soak 24 hours. 
Drain all the liquid off, cover with best 
cider vinegar, stir in one pound of dark 
brown sugar, one-half cupful of grated 
horseradish, two tablespoonfuls of white 
mustard seed, one tablespoonful of 
ground ginger, one teaspoonful of 
ground cloves and the same amount of 
allspice. Let the pickle come slow-ly to 
the boiling point, then remove to the 
back of the range and let it stand for 
one hour. Seal up in Mason jars, and it 
will be ready for use in a week, but will 
improve with age. 
Egg Tomatoes in Sweet Pickle.—Pour 
scalding water over seven pounds of 
the egg tomatoes, let them stand for a 
“moment, then remove the skin. Cover 
them with vinegar much diluted with 
water and let them stand 12 hours. Put 
one-half cupful of weak vinegar in the 
preserving kettle and add part of the 
tomatoes, then some sugar and any 
whole spices, such as ginger, allspice, 
cinnamon, cloves and mace, using these 
or even more varieties according to 
taste. Add more of the tomatoes, more 
s ,ar and more spices, alternating the 
layers thus until all the tomatoes and 
five pounds of sugar have been used. 
Cook very gently, stirring just enough 
to prevent scorching without breaking 
the tomatoes. When these are quite 
clear and transparent, remove them 
carefully and boil down the syrup. 
When the syrup is thick strain it and 
add the tomatoes. Boil up once and 
pour into pint jars to be sealed at once. 
Green Tomato Sweet Pickle.—Wash 
the tomatoes and let drain, then slice 
into a large earthen dish, sprinkling salt 
between the layers. Let stand till next 
day. Pour ©ff the brine and juice, rinse 
off with clear water, let the fruit drain, 
then weigh if you like to follow the ex¬ 
act rule. To a syrup made of brown 
sugar and a little water add ginger root, 
cloves and cinnamon bark. Also tie up 
two or three little bags of mixed, ground 
spices to cook with the rest. Add the 
tomato and a handful of nasturtium 
seeds, and cook till the tomato seems 
tender. The nasturtium seeds should 
be not more than half grown, green, 
and if in clusters, so much the better. 
Skim out the tomato into a stone jar, 
add a liberal quantity of vinegar to the 
juice left in the kettle, and when it boils 
up pour over the contents of the jar. 
Green Pepper Canapes.—A canape is 
merely a sandwich without a “lid” or 
top layer of toast or bread, often served 
as an appetizer before a meal. Cut 
from stale loaf twice as many thin 
slices of bread as there are persons to 
be served. Trim off crust and cut each 
piece in oblongs about two by four 
inches. Quickly saute these in a little 
hot butter in a frying pan until each 
piece is a golden brown; lay on soft 
paper to absorb the grease and let stand 
until cold. Open one (or mo 1 ,re if 
needed) large sweet green pepper, remove 
seeds and white veins, and chop very 
fine; about half a teaspoonful will be 
needed for each canape; also finely 
chop the white of a hard boiled egg. 
Spread each canape thickly with stiff 
mayonaise, and over this arrange the 
pepper and egg white in alternate di¬ 
agonal lines. Two of these canapes are 
arranged on a small plate at each place. 
For special occasions a small pimola may 
be placed at opposite ends, pressing it 
in the mayonnaise to that it will stand. 
They make an attractive and toothsome 
introduction to the meal.

1 W O Silk Dresaes 
Instead of ONE 
Every time you decide to have a new 
S i'?v^ eg ?, you ca “ havo TWO instead 
of ONE if you make it of Sueaine Silk. 
This is how you do it. Suesine Silk costs hut 39c a yard 
—or less than half the price of coed China Silk. So for the 
price of a single dress of China Silk you can get tuo of 
Suesine Silt. Years ago when Suesine was first introduced, 
women of taste and discrimination bought Suesine Silk for 
a single dress, because they liked its value. 
Today they are buying Suesine Silk 
again and again—not alone foronc dress 
lmt for many—because they have proved 
for themselves by their months of trial 
that Suesine Silk is the best silk VALUE 
they can buy. 
Go to your Dealer today and ask for 
Suesine Silk. See that the words 
SUESINE SILK 
are on every yard. Beware of 
accepting substitutes. 
These substitutes are finished 
with glue, to make them glossy, 
and are weighted with tin 
and iron dust to give them 
“ body ”. They look 
beautiful at first. A few 
months’ wear will prove them worth¬ 
less. Insist upon the genuine Suesine 
Silk with the name stamped along 
the edge. 
We will send you absolutely free, 
forty - two samples of Suesine 
Silk — more than 255 square 
inches altogether. 
We ask only, that, when writing for 
these free samples, you will mention 
the name of your regular dry goods 
dealer, and say whether he sells Suc- 
sine Silk or not. Please be sure to 
give that information in writing to us. 
No matter where you live, it is 
easy to get genuine Suesine Silk 
We do not sell Suesine Silk except through regular re¬ 
tail merchants. But if we cannot send you the name and 
address of a dealer in your vicinity who has Suesine Silk, 
we will see that your order is filled at the same price, and 
just as conveniently, by a reliable retail house, if you en¬ 
close color sample and price, 39c. per yard. 
The price of Suesine Silk in CANADA is 50c a yard.
