on the wane, is shown by the fact that 
many of the imported cloth gowns are 
made with reference to wearing vests or 
Fedora fronts, etc., of chiffon and other 
light materials. This style of neckwear 
is as feminine as can be, and will rest the 
eyes and soothe the sensibilities outraged 
by the severe linen collars and masculine 
cravats which have greeted one on every 
hand, the past summer, quite as numer¬ 
ous as suffrage petitions and arguments. 
The linen collars, however, remain in 
the contest for popularity, and while 
they may yield the first place, they will 
by no means be forgotten, or laid aside 
as “out of style.” gaitheb uowe. 
MISS WILLARD'S SUMMER HOME. 
ORE than 2,000 feet above the level 
of the sea is an Eagle’s Nest, 
where a strong, brave woman rests from 
fighting the world’s battles, says a writer 
in the Chicago Tempest. It is an en¬ 
chanting spot, this cottage home of Miss 
Frances Willard’s at Twilight Park. It 
lies on the breast of High Peak, and 
overlooks the falls of Kaaterskill and 
Santa Cruz, and gives a wonderful 
glimpse of mountain and sky. A simple 
little home, but bye and bye it will be 
historic ground, though it will never be 
a mecca like Rest Cottage at Evanston, 
for it was planned for a hermitage, 
and its situation affords seclusion with¬ 
out isolation. It is just large enough 
for three, and the trio are Miss Wil¬ 
lard, Lady Henry Somerset and Miss 
Anna Gordon. There is one big sun¬ 
shiny room, with an old-fashioned fire¬ 
place fianked by the proverbial andirons; 
a wide stairway leads to the two low 
chambers, that can be thrown into one ; 
add the kitchen annex and a room for 
the maid, and the sum is told. Exteri¬ 
orly the cottage is covered with hem¬ 
lock logs, while silver birch is used in¬ 
side, and also for the veranda rails. 
And the furnishings 1 Rugs, chairs 
and pictures; china, linen and candle¬ 
sticks ; books, hammocks and screens, 
are the free-will offering of loving 
friends, for when Mr. Wingate deeded 
the lot to Miss Willard, and the house 
was built with a modest legacy left by 
her uncle, a public opportunity was af¬ 
forded her admirers to contribute the 
furniture, which was met by an instant 
and cordial response.

6188. Misses’ Cape. 
This very stylish cape may be made of 
the material to match the costume or of 
broadcloth, satin, or any of the new silk 
and wool mixtures. Fancy braid, gimp, 
velvet or ribbon are the preferred trim¬ 
mings, and the gay plaid, brocaded and 
changeable silk, gloria, etc., make ap¬ 
propriate linings. Pattern 6188 is cut in 
four sizes, viz., 12, 14, 16 and 18 years. 
When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria, 
When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria,

Every reader should tell one friend, 
at least, that The Rural New-Yorker, 
will be sent for the remainder of this 
year for 25c. How many have you told ? 
ODDS AND ENDS. 
Cream Cheese. —Scald one full pan of 
very sour milk. Remove the whey ; add 
salt to taste, a small piece of butter and 
four tablespoonfuls of sweet cream Stir 
until smooth. It looks pretty served in 
a glass dish, and is nice to serve with 
potato salad. sarah rodxey. 
To Cover Jellies. —The best and easiest 
way to cover jelbes, says Harper’s Ba¬ 
zar, is to pour melted paraffine over 
them when they are quite cold. This 
hardens at once, when a piece of brown 
paper may be tied over the glass to keep 
out the dust. The cake of p raffine may 
be easily lifted off when the jelly is used, 
and if washed and put away, may be 
melted over again to serve the same pur¬ 
pose another year. Paraffine is a clear 
white wax which is absolutely tasteless, 
and this method of treating jellies is 
perfectly harmless. 
Washday Again. —In regard to wash¬ 
ing clothes it seems to me those recently 
discussing it are mowing with the old 
scythe when they ought to use a machine. 
This is the way we manage : After break¬ 
fast is ready we put four or five gallons 
of water on to heat. When the water is 
hot, we dissolve some soap or washing 
powder in the tub, put in the boiling 
water, then the clothes and commence to 
rub. After the white clothes are all out, 
we put in the colored ones. A fter wards the 
stockings are rinsed in hot water. Boiling 
rots the goods, and when it is 90 degrees 
in the shade, standing over a hot kettle 
Misses’ Cape. 
stirring clothes is not the coolest occupa¬ 
tion. I have had charge of dyehouses 
for 15 years, and I can remember some¬ 
thing about it. The rinsing water is in 
a small tub ready for the goods as fast 
as they are wrung from the soap water. 
We use the kerosene to heat the water, 
and put some in the water and use any 
preparation desired, but don't go to the 
expense and trouble of boiling, v. b. h. 
A Model Sewing Room. —A sewing room 
to my mind would be a medium-sized 
room on the sunny side of the house, 
with a bay window and two west win¬ 
dows curtained with light-colored shades. 
It should contain a large cutting table, 
large as an extension table, with drawers 
in front and a shelf beneath for patterns 
and materia], with a high chair to use 
when basting. It is sometimes easier to 
stand when cutting. A low cutting table 
to use when working on small articles, a 
sewing machine, full length mirror, two 
or three sewing chairs, a rocker, and a 
waste basket are required and a small 
gas or oil stove to heat flatirons for press¬ 
ing. There should be a closet in which 
to hang unfinisued skirts and wrappers, 
and in one end of that I would have a 
set bowl, with hot and cold watpr. As I 
should not wish to exclude those of the 
family who had no interest in sewing, 
an easy chair, a lounge, and small table 
with books and papers would be in order 
with a Rochester lamp; though, gener¬ 
ally, I would prefer to lock the door 
upon all sewing as soon as twilight ap¬ 
pears. s. H. H. 
Mothers. —Be sure to use “ Mrs. Wins¬ 
low’s Soothing Syrup ” for your children 
while Teething. It is the Best.— Adv. 
FOR MIND AND HEART. 
Fair TTOman, could your soul but view 
The intimate relation 
‘Twlxt food and fate, there’d be a new 
And higher dUpensatlou; 
Could you but see, for ‘‘destiny,” 
A synonym In “dinners,” 
And what the kitchen's alchemy 
Could make of mortal sinners, 
Vou'd leave odd fads and learn to bake 
A loaf and cook a “ ’later,” 
To roast a Joint or broil a steak. 
Than which no art Is greater. 
—Emily Pickhardt in The Household. 
....Phillips Brooks: “The more we 
see of events, the less we believe in any 
fate or destiny except the destiny of 
character.” 
... .New York Press : “ Many a girl has 
had her heart broken by touching up a 
plain, ordinary man with beauties and 
qualities he possessed only in her 
dreams.” 
....Antoninus: “Neither in writing 
nor in reading wilt thou be able to lay 
down rules for others before thou shalt 
have first learned to obey rules thyself. 
Much more is this to life.” 
....The Watchman: “While there are 
special fields for loyal and courageous 
action, there is no sphere in life in which 
moral heroism has not ample opportunity 
to prove what it can do and dare,” 
... .Good Things : “Anything containing 
more elements of evil than of good 
should not be permitted to endure, yet 
to-day there is more of unjust than of 
j ust criticism in the world, as there was 
a hundred years ago, and will be a hun¬ 
dred years hence.”
