THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
October 6 
Woman and Home 
From Day to Day. 
Where are they scattered now— 
The old, old friends? 
One made her dwelling where the maples 
grow, 
And mighty streams through solemn for¬ 
ests flow; 
Yet never from that pine crowned land of 
snow 
A message sends. 
Some meet me oft amid 
Life’s common ways, 
And then, perchance, a word or smile de¬ 
clares 
That warm hearts throb beneath their load 
of cares; 
For love grows on, like wheat among the 
tares, 
Till harvest day. 
But “some are fallen asleep”— 
The words are sweet; 
Oh, friends at rest beneath the blessed sod, 
My feet still tread the weary path ye trod, 
Ere yet your loving souls went back to 
God; 
When shall we meet? 
Oh, then, divinest Friend, 
When shall it be 
That I may know them in their garments 
white, 
And see them with a new and clearer light. 
Mine old familiar friends—made fair and 
bright. 
Like unto Thee? 
—Sarah Doudney.

An egg po; cher is one of the handy 
things no kitchen should be without. A 
poached egg, to be properly appetising, 
should be symmetrical and unbroken, 
but it is hard to obtain this when the 
egg is dropped right into the saucepan. 
The poacher is made of tin, with a re¬ 
movable handle and a circle of rings in¬ 
to which the eggs are broken. 
* 
Among Autumn millinery trimmings 
very natural-looking chestnuts were 
noted, some of the burrs closed, others 
opened to show the nuts, both nut and 
foliage looking very real. Clusters of 
grapes, purple, reddish and green, with 
foliage and quirky little tendrils, are 
also seen; they have been worn all Sum¬ 
mer, but have never become so common 
as the much-worn cherries. 
* 
Varnish makes a stain quite beyond 
the power of soap and water, but it may 
be removed from the hands with flannel 
dipped in methylated spirits or alcohol. 
When the varnish spots are on a gar¬ 
ment, rub with alcohol, and then sponge 
with a clean cloth. If the color is af¬ 
fected sponge with chloroform, unless 
the material is blue, in which case vine¬ 
gar or acetic acid should be used. Try 
to keep these substances from contact 
with the hands.

The newest and more expensive baby 
carriages are now made with three 
wheels, a small one in front and two 
larger ones behind. They can be ad¬ 
justed so that the child may either sit 
up or lie down and, in place of the para¬ 
sol, have a falling hood like that on a 
buggy. These phaeton hoods were seen 
on baby carriages years ago, but were 
displaced by the dainty frilly parasols. 
The hood top is more easily adjusted 
than the parasol, and makes a better 
shield against drafts. 
* 
BREAD-and-milk bowls are among the 
prettiest pieces of oua china now shown. 
The edges of the bowls are often ruffled 
and rolled like flower petals, the color¬ 
ing carrying out the idea. A good many 
healthy women have a liking for bread 
and milk at luncheon, as well as break¬ 
fast, and these bowls make a pretty lit¬ 
tle individual gift. Celery sets, consist¬ 
ing of a flat dish and six little dips, are 
now offered; cue expensive sets consist 
of a cut-glass dish and silver dips, while 
the less costly are all of pressed glass. 
Nowadays this inexpensive glass copies 
the cut patterns, and, when properly 
cleaned, has none of the clumsy dull¬ 
ness of old-fashioned cheap glass. It 
should be well scrubbed, from time to 
time, with soapsuds and a soft brush, 
and rinsed in plenty of warm water, 
while an occasional rubbing with whit¬ 
ing and soft cloths will add surprising¬ 
ly to its luster. 
* 
A rack for preserve jars is a conveni¬ 
ence for canning now offered. It con¬ 
sists of a metal frame holding six jars, 
with an upright handle in the center, 
the general appearance suggesting an 
old-fashioned cruet-stand frame. The 
jars of fruit are placed in this stand 
when put into the large kettle for cook-

ing, and may be lifted out when done 
without the trouble or risk of scalding, 
which occurs in lifting out single jars. 
Among the newer preserve jars is one 
so-called vacuum jar having a deeply 
convex surface to the under side of the 
lid. This keeps the fruit down below 
the surface of the syrup, preventing its 
molding.

Summer squash is rather an exasper¬ 
ating vegetable to cook, owing to its wa¬ 
tery lack of consistency. It is a good 
plan to cut it in pieces and place it in 
a coarse cheesecloth bag. It is then 
cooked in salted water until a fork pene¬ 
trates it easily, taken out to drain, and 
the bag put in a colander without being 
opened. With a potato masher the rest 
of the water is expressed from the bag, 
which is then opened, any remaining 
lumps pressed out, and the vegetable, 
after seasoning with butter, pepper and 
salt, is sent to the table in a hot dish. 
Boiling the squash in a bag seems to re¬ 
tain its flavor, and keep it moist, but not 
watery. It will be remembered that old- 
fashioned housekeepers boiled cabbage 
in a net for convenience in draining. 
The Children’s Clothes. 
Fashions come and fashions go, but 
the plain little yoke dress, easily made 
and easily laundered, still remains in 
favor for small girls. The dress shown 
in the picture is of dimity, frilled with 
lace and trimmed with narrow ribbon, 
but the same idea may be transferred to 
cashmere, challis or outing flannel for 
Winter wear. To make this dress in the 
medium size will require two yards of 
dotted and one-half yard of plain ma¬ 
terial 32 inches wide, and three-eighths 
of a yard of tucking for yoke and col¬ 
lar. The pattern No. 3576 is cut for 1, 
2, 4 and 6 years. 
The baby’s elder sister will find the 
blouse waist shown very becoming, for 
a young girl is always better suited by 
a slightly full waist than by one tightly 
fitting. This waist may be made in 
cashmere, albatross, flannel, silk or 
ladies’ cloth. Fine smooth woolen ma¬ 
terials are to be much worn in waists 
this Winter, displacing silk to some ex¬ 
tent. The smart model illustrated is 
made of linen in a light and a dark 
shade of blue, with the shield and stock 
of tucked white muslin. The waist is 
cut with a seamless back and full 
fronts, which extend below the skirt to 
regulation length. The fronts are at¬ 
tached to a shallow pointed yoke be-

12. 14 and 16 years. 
blouse is a casing through which elastic 
is run that adjusts the fullness and holds 
the blouse in place. The sleeves are 
one-seamed, the fullness at the wrists is 
aranged in small tucks, stitched flat, to 
form cuffs, which are underfaced, that 
at the upper edge being arranged in 
gathers. The short knee trousers are 
two-seamed and fit snugly, closing at 
the top of the side seams. At tne outer 
seams are arranged rows of pearl but¬ 
tons, three each. At the waist are bands 
stitched to tnc under side, in which but¬ 
tonholes are worked to fasten the trous¬ 
ers to the under waist. To cut this suit 
for a boy of eight years of age four 
yards of material 32 inches wide, 3% 
yards 44 inches wide, or 2% yards 50 
inches wide, will be required, with one- 
half yard of muslin or jean for under 
waist. The pattern No. 3617 is cut in 
sizes for boys of 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 years 
of age. All these patterns may be or¬ 
dered from The R. N.-Y.; price of each 
10 cents. 
The secret that doth make a flower a 
flower, so frames it that to bloom is to 
be sweet, and to receive, to give. No 
soil so sterile and no living so poor but 
it hath somewhat still to spare in boun¬ 
teous odors.—S. Dobell. 
neath the sailor collar. The collar is 
seamed to the neck and fronts, and the 
shield, to which the stock it attached, 
is sewed on the right front and buttoned 
into place at the left beneath the collar. 
The fullness of the back is drawn down 
in center at the waist line, that of the 
fronts being arranged to give a slightly 
bloused effect. The fullness may be 
gathered or adjusted with a casing and 
draw-strings in regular shirt waist style. 
The waist closes at the front beneath 
the tie, which is attached to the right 
side and hooked over to the left. The 
sleeves are two-seamed and terminate 
in becoming points over the hands. To 
cut this waist for a miss of 14 years of 
age 3% yards of material 21 inches wide, 
two yards 32 inches wide, or 1% yard 
44 inches wide with one-half yard of 
tucking 18 inches wide, will be required. 
The pattern No. 3619 is cut in sizes for 
misses of 12, 14 ana 16 years of age. 
The boy’s blouse suit shows the pre¬ 
vailing style, which varies little. The 
model illustrated is of white flannel, but

materials are of course more appro¬ 
priate. Brown or black velveteen is 
often made up in this style. The blouse 
is fitted by means of shoulder and un¬ 
der-arm seams, the closing being effect¬ 
ed at the center front beneath the tie. 
The deep sailor collar is seamed to and 
finishes the neck; the shield is faced 
on to the under waist, which is made of 
heavy white muslin or jean. The little 
patch pocket gives an additional air of 
smartness, and is stitched into place on 
the left front. At the lower edge of the
