The Rural Patterns. 
“Buster Brown” styles have taken a firm 
hold on the girls as well as the small boys, 
and dresses for the latter's sister, made 
after that widely-known youngster’s are 
among the latest shown. As shown it is 
made of natural colored linen with white 
collar and cuffs that are detachable, but 
all simple childish materials, woo! as well 
as linen and cotton, are appropriate and 
collar and cuffs can be of the same or 
white as preferred. The dress is made 
with front and back, the front tucked, the 
back box pleated and the skirt portion laid 
in additional inverted pleats at the under¬ 
arm seams, and is closed at the back, an 
4 to 12 years. 
opening being cut beneath the center pleat. 
The sleeves are simply full and both neck 
and wrists are finished with bands to 
which the cuffs can be sewn, or attached 
by means of buttons and buttonholes as 
liked. At the waist is a belt of the mate¬ 
rial that is slipped under straps at the 
under-arm seams. The quantity of mate¬ 
rial required for the medium size (eight 
years) is 4)4 yards 27 inches wide, 2 
yards 44 inches wide or 2)4 yards 52 inches 
wide with )4 yard of white linen for col¬ 
lar and cuffs. The pattern 4707 is cut in 
sizes for girls of 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 years 
of age; price 10 cents. 
Simple, loose fitting coats suit young 
girls far better than any other sort. This 
one is laid in full length tucks at front 
and back, and above the elbows of the 
sleeves. The model is made of royal blue 
cheviot stitched with silk and combined 
with collar and cuffs of velvet, but all sea- 
4710 Girl’a Coat, 8 to 14 years. 
sonable cloaking materials are appropriate. 
The coat is made with fronts and back 
and is fitted by means of shoulder and 
under-arm seams, the back being left plain 
or finished with the .strap as preferred. 
At the neck is a flat turn-over collar the 
points of which meet at the center, but the 
coat is closed in double-breasted style. 
The sleeves are full and ample gathered 
into straight cuffs. The quantity of mate¬ 
rial required for the medium size (12 
years) is 4)4 yards 21 inches wide, 4)4 
yards 27 inches wide or 2)4 yards 44 inches 
wide. The pattern 4710 is cut in sizes for 
girls of 8, 10, 12 and 14 years of age; price 
10 cents. 
Garden Notes 
Just before the garden is plowed I 
take up some of the self-sown plants 
from the old lettuce bed. These are 
fine stocky plants which make a sur¬ 
prisingly rapid growth when transplant¬ 
ed in a new bed. If the plants belong to 
the head lettuce class, they are set 12 
inches apart. The bed is hoed three or 
four times a week. This keeping the 
soil well cultivated is no small item in 
hastening plant growth. This year I 
am raising some Chinese Giant peppers, 
to see if they are better than the Ruby 
King. The latter I have found most sat¬ 
isfactory. They are very prolific and 
thrifty. The large green peppers, with 
their pleasant pungency make an agree¬ 
able salad, served either with a salad 
dressing or with salt and vinegar alone. 
The Mammoth Russian sunflower is a 
valuable plant for the poultry keeper. 
The heads are immense, fine specimens 
measuring two feet in diameter. The 
seed is considered an excellent egg-pro¬ 
ducing food. Sunflowers pay large re¬ 
turns for good treatment, but they will 
grow thriftily on poor soil. A few of 
them planted about the drain prove 
beneficial. The oil made from its seeds 
is considered almost as good as olive 
oil. In Russia its stalks are used for 
fuel. 
The ribs of a discarded umbrella make 
neat and strong supports for flowers 
like the carnation. 
Soot is a valuable article to use on 
the garden. It is both a fertilizer aqd 
insecticide. By sprinkling soot on cu¬ 
cumber and squash vines I have man¬ 
aged to keep the striped bug in check. 
If a heavy rain is threatening just as 
the tiny seedlings in your flower bed 
have put in an appearance, it will be 
wise to protect them. Otherwise the 
rain will wash them out. After having 
lost many plants, I find the following 
device satisfactory: A trough is made 
by nailing two boards together, the' 
length of the rows. These troughs can 
be stored when the plants are sturdy 
enough to withstand the heavy rains. 
HELEN C. ANDREWS 
Some Doti’ts for Cake Bakers. 
Don’t expect success if you make your 
cake “by guess.” 
Don’t walk heavily about the kitchen 
while the cake is in the oven. Better 
put off cleaning up half an hour than 
have a heavy cake. 
Don’t hold the flour sifter high up 
and turn rapidly, allowing the lighter 
baking powder to be blown away. 
Don’t neglect to cream the butter and 
sugar thoroughly before adding any¬ 
thing else. 
Don’t use soft A sugar and expect 
white icing. 
Don’t beat violently after adding the 
baking iiowder. 
Don’t thrust a heavy broom straw 
into the midde of the cake. It will 
surely fall if you do. 
Don’t measure your flour before sift¬ 
ing, and don’t neglect to do it after 
sifting. Too much flour is responsible 
for the heavy, bready cakes one often 
sees. 
Don’t use strong butter. It is poor 
economy to do this. 
Don’t bake anything but angel food 
in your angel-food pan. 
Don’t forget that long beating before 
the baking powder is added makes fine, 
delicious cakes. 
Don’t have the oven too hot. 
Don’t allow cakes to cool in the pans 
unless the recipe specially calls for it. 
Such cakes are sure to be damp in the 
bottom. 
Don’t attempt anything elaborate if 
you are an amateur. 
Don’t open and shut the oven door 
continually. 
Don’t believe there is any such thing 
as “luck” in cake baking.

remember that while the taste is
