The Rural Patterns. 
The blouse that closes at the back 
still remains in favor, and a very at¬ 
tractive model is here shown. The foun¬ 
dation or fitted lining closes at the cen¬ 
ter back, together with the material. 
The waist proper is tucked at the back 
in groups which extend from the shoul¬ 
ders to the waist and produce a taper¬ 
ing effect. The front is novel, and gives 
the square effect now fashionable. The 
tucks at the center extend to yoke depth 
only, then fall free to form soft folds, 
but those at the shoulder are extended 
to the waist line, the trimming being ap¬ 
plied between to form the square neck. 
The sleeves are in bishop style with vel- 
4028 FANCY BLOUSE 
32 TO40 BUST 
vet and Persian banded cuffs and at the 
neck is a regulation stock of velvet over 
which the trimming is applied. To cut 
this waist for a woman of medium size, 
4 yards of material 21 inches wide, 3 
yards 27 inches wide, or 2 yards 44 
inches wide will be required, with 2 
yards of embroidered bands to trim as 
illustrated. The pattern 4028 is cut in 
sizes for a 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40 inch bust 
measure; price 10 cents. 
The skirt that fits snugly at the upper 
portion, and flares freely as it ap¬ 
proaches the floor, is the favorite. This 
excellent model is shown in black taf¬ 
feta, with bands of black velvet ribbon 
at the lower edge, but is suited to many 
materials, cheviot, broadcloth, poplin, 
veiling, and all fabrics used for odd 
skirts or entire gowns. The skirt is cut 
in five gores, each of which is shaped to 
fit snugly above while it flares below the 
4026HVEG0RED FLARE SKIRT.

knees. The fullness at the back is laid 
in inverted plaits, that are flat at the 
waist line, and for several inches below. 
To cut this skirt for a woman of me¬ 
dium size, 6 y z yards of material 21 
inches wide, 6% yards 27 inches wide, 4 
yards 44 inches wide, or 3% yards 50 
inches wide will be required. The pat¬ 
tern 4026 is cut in sizes for a 22, 24, 26, 
28, 30 and 32-inch waist measure; price 
10 cents. 
Ten Good Resolutions. 
The following are 10 New Year’s reso¬ 
lutions offered by a prominent Methodist 
clergyman of New York. They form a 
good code of the minor morals that go 
far towards making life worth living: 
“First—I will not permit myself, if 
possible, to speak while angry. If I must 
speak before I can control my anger I 
will force myself to speak in a low tone 
of voice. If you will keep your voice low 
when your temper is aroused anger will 
soon die in anyone who is vexed with 
you. 
“’Second—I will neither gossip about 
the failings of another nor will I per¬ 
mit another person to speak such gossip 
to me. 
“Third—I will respect weakness and 
defer to it in the street cars, on the ele¬ 
vated train, in the store and in the 
home, whether it be in man or woman. 
“Fourth—1 will always express grati¬ 
tude for any favor or service rendered 
to me, on the spot and at once. 
“Fifth—I will not fail to express sym¬ 
pathy with another’s sorrow or to give 
hearty utterance to my appreciation of 
good work by another, whether the party 
be friendly to me or not. One button¬ 
hole bouquet offered amid life’s stress of 
trial is worth a thousand wreaths of 
roses laid on a man’s coffin. 
“Sixth—I will not talk about my per¬ 
sonal ailments. 
“Seventh—I will look on the bright 
side of the circumstances of my daily 
life and will seek to carry a cheerful 
face and speak cheerfully and hopefully 
to all whom I meet. 
“Eighth—I will neither eat nor drink 
what I know will detract from my abil¬ 
ity to do my best work. 
“Ninth—I will speak and act truth¬ 
fully. 
“Tenth—I will strive to be always 
ready for the very best that can happen 
to me. To be ready for the worst is all 
very well in its way, but it is a vein 
much overworked.” 
Rural Recipes 
“She coolceth best who knoweth most 
Of all things great and small, 
And the same mind that learning grasps 
Can cook, housekeep, and all.” 
—Indiana Farmer. 
Salem Spice Cake.—Cream a half cup¬ 
ful of butter with a cupful of sugar, add 
two eggs—one at a time—and 'beat until 
the mixture is very light. 'Sift 1 y 2 cup¬ 
ful of flour with one-fourth of a tea- 
spoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of cin¬ 
namon and half a teaspoonful of cloves. 
Add the flour, a tablespoonful at a time, 
alternately with a half cupful of cold 
water, and add to the last tablespoonful 
of flour a teaspoonful of baking powder. 
Stir in a half cupful of cleaned and seed¬ 
ed raisins and bake in a shallow, well- 
greased pan in a moderate oven for 25 
minutes. 
Butter Cakes.—Sift two cupfuls of 
flour with three teaspoonsful of baking 
powder and a half teaspoonful of salt. 
Rub in two tablespoonfuls of butter and 
add gradually three-fourths of a cupful 
of milk. Toss upon a well floured board 
and roll out as thick as thougn you were 
making biscuit, then cut into rounds 
with a small biscuit cutter and bake up¬ 
on a hot, well-greased griddle. Cook 
slowly until they puff up double their 
size, then turn and bake on the other 
side. Set them in a moderate oven for 
a few minutes before serving, then 
break them open and serve with butter 
and maple syrup. 
Veal Cannelon.—Put two pounds of 
veal steak through the meat cutter. Soak 
a half cupful of bread crumbs in cold 
water for a half hour, then put them 
in a cloth and squeeze out the moisture. 
Add these to the meat, together with a 
well-beaten egg, half a teaspoonful of 
onion juice, one-fourth of a teaspoonful

i A CHURCH 
,L- 
A minister’s wife in Buffalo 
writes: 
“Our church was encumbered 
with a mortgage. The 
Ladies’ Home Journal and 
The Saturday Evening 
Post seemed to offer a chance 
to accomplish something for 
the work, and I took the mat¬ 
ter to the Ladies’ Aid Society. 
I proposed that each member 
should enter her subscription, 
and try to secure other names. 
My plan was received enthu¬ 
siastically. In addition to our 
own members we obtained 
subscriptions from many not 
connected with the church. 
Everywhere we went we 
talked Journal and church 
mortgage. Soon we had sub¬ 
scriptions enough to reduce 
the mortgage considerably, 
and with very little work.” 
What this one woman did 
thousands can do for their 
church, or for themselves.

How to Drain Land Profitably. 
On every farm there is probably some land 
that could be made more productive by under- 
drainage. Properly drained land can always 
be worked earlier, and more profitably. The 
best and most 
economical way 
*1? to drain is ex¬ 
plained in the 
book, “Benefits of Drainage and How to Drain,” 
which is sent free by JOHN H. JACKSON,

I SELL FARMS 
Residences, etc., no matter where located, 
If I can get more cash for your farm fand get it 
more quickly) than any other real estate broker, 
you surely want to know it. 
it will cost you but atwo-cent stamp to send me 
description and price of your property and find 
out what I can do for you. 
I am in a better position to find 
a quick buyer for your farm than 
any other man in America. 
I employ more than fifty capable 
assistants. 
I coOperate with thousands of 
bright, energetic real estate brokers 
in all parts of the country. 
I spend more money in advertising 
than any other real estate broker 
This advertising brings from 2,500 
to 3,000 inquiries monthly for farms 
and real estate of all kinds in all 
parts of the country. 
Some of these inquirers may want 
your farm. (Better find out.) * 
1 am reaching more prospective 
buyers than any other real estate broker. 
Therefore, you cannot afford to sell your farm 
without consulting me, and giving me a chance to 
s. 11 it at the highest possible price.

taken. My commissions are no higher than are

farm in my hands, it will not be tied 
up In any why. You can withdraw it
