The pleated edge should be cut twice the length of the band to allow for nice, full pleats, or, if you prefer, pre-fer, pin the pleats in and cut accordingly. To finish, hem the pleat and join the pleating to the band, allowing the corded edge to head the pleats. Cording may also be run down each corner.

A firm weave, as well as fast colors, and colors that wear well are qualities quali-ties that you will want in the long run. For cording or piping use contrasting con-trasting colors, but make sure here, too, that the colors will wear well, and that the edges can be turned under easily enough to avoid raveling. To get ' the most satisfaction from yourlfoods, choose a fabric that is designed for the other furniture in your room. In early American rooms, chintz, simple striped effects, cretonnes and homespun are the most effective. For simple, modern rooms, choose plain solid colors with good weaves. Consider such fabrics fab-rics as linen, novelty cotton and duck all of which are very sturdy. If all of your house is predominantly predomi-nantly Victorian, you'll enjoy ginghams, calico and novelty cotton. cot-ton. In this case, be very careful care-ful that the colors you choose harmonize with the other nieces of furniture you already have. m mi" ' J J w UCCI. m v VWMWVT l MW Win Vf ACT HN W some sympathetic adviser might mat brighten her fife," By KATHLEEN NORRIS THE FASHION today is to be psycho-analyzed. This alarming word means that whoever is restless, rest-less, unsatisfied, ill-adjusted to his or her life, goes to a specialist. spe-cialist. The specialist digs deep into the unhappy person's per-son's consciousness, asking all sorts of intimate and embarrassing em-barrassing questions, trying to find out what influences in the past have created her timidity, jealousy, fear, hate, or whatever else is wrong with her. Sometimes the psycho-analyst is a person qualified by nature, science and training to help, and does help. More often he or she knows nothing, and only vaguely repeats phrases that mean nothing. Not so much from any real Intention of cheating, but rather in pleased surprise that they have stumbled upon anything so easy and so lucrative. The anxious family of the sufferer takes this very seriously. They are cheered when the analyst says hopefully: hope-fully: "We are coming on. We are learning to live with ourselves honestly. hon-estly. I think we are bringing the real cause to the light We want to help ourselves now, and that is the great thing." Enjoys 'Baring Her Soul.' The theater, beginning with "Lady in the Dark," has helped the spread of psycho-analysis immensely. immense-ly. Many movies have followed suit. Many a young wife who might a generation ago, have accepted her lot' as housekeeper and mother with philosophy and common sense, has been led to wonder if the baring of her soul to some sympathetic adviser ad-viser might not brighten her life. She enjoys going back we all do to the disappointments of childhood, the embarrassments and humiliations humilia-tions of school days, the first awakening awak-ening of young love. She enjoys talking about herself; who doesn't? Fortune tellers command attention because their fascinating topic is always oneself. Some years ago the Coue doctrine took this country by storm, and persons per-sons whose lives were running smoothly went about beaming because be-cause "every day In every way" everything was "getting better and better." When the first blast of real trouble struck them they fell silent and as the second and third blows fell and light or heavy no one escapes es-capes them long! the Coue formula formu-la fell away into nothingness. Undoubtedly Coue did some good. Undoubtedly psycho-analysis helps some cases. But nine times out of ten the patient could help herself faster and cheaper than the professional profes-sional can. So in case you live far away from the nearest psycho-analyst here are a few hints that may help you out of -your own predicament at no expense ex-pense at all. Money Troubles, Jealousy. The first cause of marital discontent discon-tent with all its ramifying lines of quarrels, hurt feelings, failures, is money. So if your husband considers consid-ers you extravagant or you consider con-sider him stingy, settle this question ques-tion yourselves. You don't need a third party to tell you that hunger for pretty things all during your girlhood had made you wasteful, now that you can have them, or to tell him that his father's debts, his mother's financial worries, his own fear of hard times, have made him somewhat penurious. Work out your money problem on a sensible In gome eases of mental iUg, the psycho-analyst can be of great assistance, ft has become be-come the fashion, however, for discontented, unhappy people to turn to psychoanaly-sis psychoanaly-sis as the great cure-all of the age. It is nothing of the sort, says Miss Norris. tnas a limited lim-ited use. Patients must be cooperative. co-operative. The practitioner must be skilled and sympathetic. sympa-thetic. Improvement often takes a long time. Most people do not need the services of a psycho-analyst so much as they need common sense and a little soul-search' ing, continues Miss Norris. Generally the cause of the difficulty dif-ficulty is well known. It may be extravagance, or jealousy, or a desire for dominance. In any case, the psycho-analyst can do little more than point the trouble. He cannot make the necessary changes in the individuals character or circumstances. cir-cumstances. Often a husband and tvife can solve their imaginary mental men-tal problems by a frank talk. Whether the difficulty arises over money, or relatives, or some personal fault, the solution solu-tion can be found by bringing it out into the open. There is seldom any use going to a high-priced psycho-analyst. Better solve your own problems, prob-lems, concludes Miss Norris. aeusuaom Fruit Preparation Required Processing I fmJT ins . ( IKn SI-!

A secondary great cause of married mar-ried distress is Jealousy. Don't give each other cause; mat is the simple cure, and that is all the scientist can say. But if there is cause, a psycho-analyst can't cure it H that grass-widow in your husband's office of-fice really has matrimonial designs on rum, having the situation analyzed anal-yzed won't help. After the most skillful handling, the facts will remain re-main the same; he is making love to another woman. Jealousy was the basic trouble with a man I knew, according to the expensive psycho-analyst he consulted. consult-ed. The analyst told him that he had been jealous of his father and mother, his sisters and brothers, his teachers and associates. This did not however, help him with his wife, who shortly afterward justified his jealousy by going off with another man. Jealousy is a sin, and so are un-kindness, un-kindness, domestic injustices, extravagance, ex-travagance, waste, penuriousness, nagging, drink aU the other ills to which marriage stands heir. Sin is cured by grace, not by analysis. Drinking and gambling husbands know what's wrong, without long luxurious talks about it. Scolding, wasteful wives are perfectly aware why there are always storms over the household bills. Mothers and fathers fa-thers who quarrel before the children, chil-dren, know why Joan is nervous and shy, and Tom completely unmanageable. un-manageable. It would save some of them a lot of money if they looked into their own hearts before laying them bare to a complete strange Fruits A-Plenty! Among the most envied women the past tew years were those with large stocks of their own canned fruit Yes, commercially canned fruit has been a mighty rare commodity com-modity during the war, and it's still scarce. If you plan now to do your canning, you'll be among the lucky home- makers when shortages really be come acute during the tall and win ter. There are few pleasures greater for the cook than those jewel-like quarts and pints of luscious fruit on the pantry shell And besides, it's very easy to can fruit because they are acid and easy to prepare. You have a choice of two preferred pre-ferred methods, and you are not limited to a pressure cooker in case that is causing you some worry. A hot water or boiling-water bath, as it's sometimes referred to (because the water must be kept bubbling merrily above the jars all during processing) is very adequate for canning fruits and tomatoes. As you may know by trips to the store, you can buy one of those large kettles fitted with a rack and a cover to hold anywhere from four to six or even eight jars. If you don't want to buy a water-bath. you can rig one up yourself with a washboiler and a rack. Some wom en have even found lard pails satis factory because they are deep enough to let the water come the required two inches above the jars, and still broad enough to take four pints or quarts easily, depending upon their height Selection Important. I can't stress too highly the Im portance of having the freshest possible pos-sible produce for canning purposes. Perhaps it is best pointed out in this way. You know the rapidity with which fruit spoils as soon as it is picked. You also know how important im-portant it is to have unspoiled fruit placed in a can because It easily spoils when preserved if there are bacteria there that begin working. Blemish-free fruit will take less time to put in cans, and the chances of spoiling are cut down. Besides that the appearance of the fruit is better.

She is working under the direction di-rection of the New York Guild to the Jewish Blind. The translator is Mrs. Ida Kling-enstein Kling-enstein of New York City. Her most ambitious undertaking' was "Gone With the Wind." which stretched out into 31 volumes of Braille. Mrs. Klingenstein, who is now Tt, works on a volunteer basis. LYNN SAYS: Here are seme canning pointers: point-ers: To guide you In the approximate approx-imate number of jars you should have, you'll want this guide. To make one quart of canned fruit you will need these amounts of fresh fruit: 2 pounds of apricots; 1 pounds of cherries; 2ty pounds of peaches; 1 to 2 pounds of pears; 2 medium-sized pineapples; 1 to 2 pounds of plums; IVs pounds of rhubarb: and S to 3 quarts of strawberries. Always use the manufacturers' directions in fastening the cap as caps vary greatly In their use. Here are fruits which may be cold-packed or hot packed: apricots; apri-cots; berries; cherries; grapes, figs; peaches; pears; pineapple; plums and rhubarb. Freshly picked fruit and berries, young, tender and fully ripe, art tht best ingredients for canning recipes. reci-pes. Under ripe fruit does not have mellow flavor, fla-vor, and Overripe Over-ripe fruit will be mushy. That's why the "prime condition" of fruit is so important Look out for bruised spots, signs of decay and other injuries. All these things have a great bearing on the quality of your final canned fruit Making the Byrop. Fruit may be canned in just plain water, but if you have any sugar at all (those extra canning stamps for sugar I) make a syrup, even if a very thin one for canning fruit The syrup mellows them and brings out true flavor. Here are some proportions for the lighter syrups which are popular this year: Light: 1 cup sugar, IVt cups wa ter. Moderately light: 1 cup sugar, cups water. Medium: 1 cup sugar, 1ft cups water. To make the syrup, combine the sugar and water and allow to boll for Ave minutes, without stirring. Remove scum and use to on tan. You'll need from 4 to 1 cup syrup for each pint of fruit after It's packed in the Jar. If desired. Juice may be extracted extract-ed from fruits and berries by crush ing, beating and straining. No su gar la needed use it as you would syrup. In making syrup, syr-up, one-half corn syrup may ba used with one- half sugar. Honey may also bt used, but It does darken the fruit and emphasize the flavor. Methods of Packing. Fruits may be cold-packed for canning prior to processing. This means that raw fruit is packed cold Into the jars, then processed in the boiling-water bath or pressure cook er. This Is suitable for many fruits and berries, and is usually used by women who have a lot of canning to do. The hot-pack method is sometimes used for fruits. This means pre-cooklng pre-cooklng the fruits in the syrup a short time before packing In the Jars and processing. The open kettle method gives beautiful fruit but is not often used today because there is too much danger of contaminating the fruit after it Is cooked and transferred to the jars. In this method the fruit is cooked thoroughly in an open kettle ket-tle in the syrup and then placed ia the jars and sealed.
