THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
Hints for Preserving Time. 
Quince Honey.—While most people 
like this delicacy it is not as commonly 
found in preserve closets as it should 
be. One medium quince and one cupful 
of granulated sugar will make one jelly 
glass of honey. Pare and grate the 
quinces, then stir this grated pulp into 
a boiling syrup made of the sugar and 
enough water to dissolve it. Stir slowly 
and quite often until the pulp will re¬ 
main suspended through the syrup. One 
should not get it too stiff. Put into jelly 
glasses, and when cool cover in the same 
way you do preserves and jellies, and 
keep in the preserve closet. If you need 
to fix lunches for school children, better 
prepare quite a lot of this honey; at 
least our girls consider it quite a treat 
when sent with bread and butter. 
Quince Jelly.—Place the parings and 
cores left from the “honey” in the pre¬ 
serving kettle, cover with cold water 
and cook until the parings are soft; 
strain through cheesecloth, measure, 
and when boiling hard, put a pound of 
white sugar to each pint of the juice. 
Boil hard until it will set. Ten minutes 
of hard boiling is usually enough; then 
pour into glasses. We fill quite a good 
many glasses through the season, seldom 
crack one, and proceed as follows: Per¬ 
fectly clean glasses are placed in a pan, 
the pan then filled with cold water until 
half way up the glasses, a silver fork or 
spoon is placed in the glass and as soon 
as the liquid has ceased its violent boil¬ 
ing it is poured in the glasses. The 
spoon or fork is removed at once, but we 
usually allow the glasses to remain in 
the water until cool. 
Did you ever make a layer or marble 
jelly? It is made in this way: A dark 
jelly, such as blackberry or grape, is 
poured into a half-gallon crock; as soon 
as this hardens a light jelly, apple, 
quince or pear, is poured on top; so on 
in alternate layers until the crock is 
filled. The layers look prettiest when 
but an inch thick. Slice in half-inch 
slices, serve on a pretty glass dish. Be¬ 
sides being unique in appearance the 
blending of flavors is decidedly appe¬ 
tizing. 
Crab-apple Jelly.—Wash, cut in pieces 
two gallons of crab apples; place in the 
preserving kettle, just cover with cold 
water and cook until the pieces are ten¬ 
der. Drain through cheesecloth, mea¬ 
sure, and when the juice has boiled 10 
minutes, stir in one pound white sugar 
to each pint of juice. Boil hard until it 
is jelly; about 10 minutes boiling after 
the sugar has been at^ded. Now take the 
tender pieces left after straining, rub 
through a sieve or colander; to each 
pint of pulp add one-half as much sugar. 
Cook until the sugar is thoroughly 
blended with the pulp, stirring quite fre¬ 
quently. Add spices if preferred, fill in¬ 
to glass cans, seal, and take to the cellar 
when cool. This makes a delicious but¬ 
ter, almost a marmalade, and is very 
nice in the Winter with pork. Two gal¬ 
lons of crab apples will make six glasses 
of jelly and five or six quarts of butter 
with the addition of 11 pounds of sugar.

The Rural Patterns. 
The loose wrapper we dignify by the 
name of lounging robe is a great com¬ 
fort in warm weather; it may be made 
with high neck and long sleeves if de¬ 
sired. The robe is simply made with a 
smooth fitting yoke, that can be cut high 
or square neck, to which the full front 
and the Watteau-like back are attached. 
The back is gathered and hangs loose, 
and the under-arm gores curve grace¬ 
fully to the figure. The front is gather¬ 
ed to the yoke and closes invisibly at 
the left side. The elbow sleeves ai'e gath¬ 
ered at the lower edges and are finished 
with graduated frills, but the long 
sleeves are in bishop style with straight 
narrow cuffs. To cut this robe in the 
medium size 10^ yards of material 27 
inches wide, 10 yards 32 inches wide or 
5% yards 44 Inches wide will be required 
with 4 y 2 yards of embroidery and 1% 
yard of insertion and 2% yards of nar¬ 
row edging to trim as illustrated, or y 2 
yard of tucking, 2*4 yards of embroidery 
and 3% yards of insertion when large 
high neck and long sleeves are desired. 
The pattern No. 4176 is cut in sizes for a 
32, 34, 36, 38 and 40-inch bust measure; 
price 10 cents from this office. 
Tucked waists with elbow sleeves and 
collarless necks are popular again this 
season. The model figured is of hand¬ 
kerchief lawn with trimming of Valen¬ 
ciennes lace. The lining is smoothly 
fitted and extends to the waist line only. 
The fronts of the -waist are tucked in 
groups that extends for their entire 
length with a single wider tuck to yoke 
depth between each two groups that 
gives needed fullness over the bust. The 
backs are tucked from shoulder to waist 
and give the desired tapering effect. The 
elbow sleeves are tucked and finished 
with straight frills, but the long sleeves 
are plain and in bishop style. To cut 
this waist in the medium size 3*4 yards 
of material 21 inches wide, yards 27 
inches wide, 2% yards 32 inches wide, or 
two yards 44 inches wide will be re¬ 
quired when tucked elbow sleeves are 
used; 3V 2 yards 21 inches wide, 3% 
yards 27 inches wide, 2% yards 32 inches 
wide or two yards 44 inches wide when 
plain bishop sleeves are used. The pat¬ 
tern No. 4172 is cut in sizes for a 32, 34, 
36, 38 and 40-inch bust measure; price 
10 cents from this office.

A Pie-Maker’s Expedient. —To keep 
a chicken pie full of gravy turn a tea¬ 
cup or small bowl bottomside up in the 
center of the pan, when making the pie. 
The gravy runs under the dish, which is 
removed before serving the pie.

Planning One’s Work. —It is quite a 
help to a housekeeper to make a plan of 
the day’s work the night before, or 
whenever it is most convenient. Write 
down on a slip of paper just what you 
mean to do. If the ordinary housework 
—dishwashing, sweeping, chamberwork 
—is always done at just such a time, 
then only the extras need be noted. If, 
however, one is inclined to be unsystem¬ 
atic, then it is a good plan to write out 
very explicitly just the order in which

each piece of work is to be done, and 
also the plans for the meals. It is a 
helpful thing to write down on the same 
piece of paper some bit of inspiring 
prose or verse. One often runs across a 
helpful idea in one’s reading, and by 
putting it on the memorandum it will

stay with one the whole forenoon, and 
cannot help being beneficial. Every 
housekeeper has large pieces of work 
which she wants to do. It is a good 
plan to make a list of these, in the back 
of her diary, or in a memorandum book. 
It is a great satisfaction to be able to 
check off each item when the work has 
been done, and by having the list in 
some permanent form one can see at the

Utilizing Heat on Wash Day. — I find 
a baked Indian pudding a desirable dish 
to make on such days, and if well made 
it is always a favorite. This is my way 
of making it: Scald a quart of milk, and 
when it is almost boiling stir into it 
seven tablespoonfuls of Indian meal 
which have been previously wetted with 
a small quantity of cold milk. Add also 
a teaspoonful of salt, two-thirds of a 
teacupful of molasses, one tablespoonful 
of ginger or cinnamon. Bake three ox- 
four hours. A di’ipping pan is the regu¬ 
lation dish to use to bake it in. When 
it is put in the pan to bake stir in a 
teacupful of cold milk; it makes the pud¬ 
ding whey, as it is called. Molasses is 
the natural sweetening for cornmeal.

as often, more of it, and harder in hot weather. Women 
wash beyond their strength the old way. A new and easy 
way has come to pass. The

lifts the burden, removes the drudgery, brings washing within 
her strength and saves the clothes. Why do without it and sweat, 
swelter and suffer, if washing can be done easily and with less 
expense? Don’t take our word for it—try the EASY for 30 days. 
If it won’t save its price before hot weather is over, send it back.
