The Ways 
To every man there openeth 
A Way, <and Ways and a W'ay, 
And the High Soul climbs the High way, 
And the Low Soul gropes the Low, 
And in between, on the misty flats, 
The rest drifit to and fro. 
But to every man there openeth 
A High way and a Low, 
And every man decideth 
The Way his soul shall go. 
—John Oxenham. 
The syrup left over from canned or 
preserved strawberries is very “choice” 
and is fine to serve with ice cream or 
cornstarch puddings. A fine iced drink 
can be made by using half and half 
syrup and icewater. ida m. jackson. 
Peach Leather 
I am sending a rule for peach leather; 
it is so good for an extra in children’s 
school lunches, better than candy, with 
all the good qualities of dried fruit. 
Didn’t you always like the dry brown 
part that stuck around the rim of the 
big kettle when your mother made ap¬ 
ple or peach butter? It is like that, only 
more of it. Cannot some of The R. 
N.-Y. people tell how their mothers dried 
it on boards? Aluminum pie pans or 
candy pans are nice to dry it in. Plum 
We are asked to repeat the recipe for leather is delicious and pumpkin leather 
too for pies—after it is soaked up.

canning corn given last year. This must 
he canned as '.soon as possible after gath¬ 
ering, and should be just right for table. 
Remove husks and silk. Blanch on the 
Cob 4n boiling water for five minutes. 
Plunge in cold water, then cut from cob, 
and pack into jar within one inch of top. 
Add one teaspoon of salt and one of sugar 
•to a quart, adjust rubber, cover, and 
clamp lightly. Set at once in the boiler 
to process. It is much better if two per¬ 
sons can work together, one bo prepare 
corn and one to /pack. Process for four 
hours, then seal tight. 
Summer hats that have been worn reg¬ 
ularly begin to look very shabby by Au¬ 
gust. Many wearers do hot realize that 
the shaibbiness of a hat is much lessened 
by good care. Ribbon trimming should 
have the dust removed by rubbing with 
soft cloth, and if there are any stains 
they should be removed with a cleaning 
fluid. A made hat of silk is very much 
improved by this careful cleaning, which 
should go under the trimming and into 
the folds. A black rtraw hat should first 
be brushed well to remove dust, and may 
then be renovated by going over it care¬ 
fully with a stiff brush dipped in a very 
little olive oil. This cleanses and bright¬ 
ens the straw, without making it brittle. 
Colored Straws m'ay need treatment with 
one of the coloring materials made espe¬ 
cially for such use; we have used them 
with entire satisfaction, though they hay,' 
a tendency to make the straw stiff. 
Light-colored felt baits may be cleansed 
with French chalk or plain talcum pow¬ 
der. The powder should ibe dusted all 
over the bait, and allowed to remain for 
several hours, then carefully shaken off, 
then n second application made if needed. 
The ©balk removes soil or grease com¬ 
pletely, and is then shaken or gently 
brushed out.
