From Day to Day. 
IN OU) AGE. 
My Autumn time and Nature's hold 
A dreamy tryst together. 
And both grown old about us fold 
The golden tissued weather. 
I lean my heart against the day 
To feel its bland caressing: 
I will not let it pass away 
Before it leaves its blessing. 
God's angels come not as of old 
The Syrian shepherds knew them ! 
In reddening dawns, in sunset gold. 
And warm noon lights I view them. 
Nor need there is. in time like this. 
When Heaven to earth draws nearer, 
Of wing or song as witnesses 
To make their presence clearer. 
—Whittier, “St. Martin's Summer.”

In addition to the convenient bread- 
makers one can now buy a cake mixer, 
which consists of a tin mixing bowl hav¬ 
ing a paddle similar to that in an ice 
cream freezer clamped in place. 1 he 
paddle or dasher is geared so that turn¬ 
ing the handle heats the hatter with very 
little effort. Any sort of hatter is quickly 
mixed with this appliance. In medium 
size it costs $1.75.

Trying recently to remove fresh stains 
of cooked tomato from white linen, we 
found that boiling water, our usual rem¬ 
edy, did not move the stains at all. Chlo¬ 
ride of lime was then sifted over the 
stains, and the material dashed up and 
down in the hot water. The stains disap¬ 
peared as though by magic; the fabric 
was thoroughly rinsed and dried as usual. 
Some ammonia should be used in the rins¬ 
ing water to neutralize the powerful acids 
contained in the chloride of lime, and 
thus lessen the risk of rotting the fabric. 
Of course it would not he safe to try this 
treatment on colored material, as the 
bleaching agent would he likely to remove 
the color.

Cider can he sterilized like grape juice, 
and thus kept perfectly sweet. Filter as 
it comes from the press, and put into ster¬ 
ilized (thoroughly scalded) bottles with 
the corks set in loosely. The bottles are 
placed in a boiler with cloths or sticks 
crisscrossed laid in the bottom as in can¬ 
ning fruit, and steamed for 15 minutes at 
1 GO degrees in water reaching half way 
up to the necks. It is only possible to 
gauge the degree of heat with a dairy 
thermometer, which costs about 25 cents. 
If the bottles are ranged closely together 
in the steamer, wrap cloths around each. 
After steaming the prescribed time take 
off the lid of steamer and let stand 24 
hours; repeat the process a second and a 
third time. The bottles are tightly corked 
while still hot. and after cooling the corks 
are dipped in hot wax. A friend in Ohio 
says they keep their cider sweet by put¬ 
ting a pound of mustard seed in each bar¬ 
rel of cider.

Dr. Thomas John Barnardo. who died 
recently in London, will be mourned by a 
great family to whom he stood in the 
place of a father. He was an Irish doc¬ 
tor, who nearly 40 years ago, when a 
young medical student, became interested 
in the destitute children of the London 
streets. In 1866 he secured hoarding 
places for a few, and established his first 
home in 1867. Out of this grew a great 
philanthropic work, with nearly one hun¬ 
dred institutions in different cities, which 
have cared for more than sixty thousand 
homeless children, and sent sixteen thou¬ 
sand of them to Canada and the British 
colonies for new homes. Dr. Barnardo 
fottnded a village for girls in Ilford, in 
1873. where there are fifty-two cottages; 
Her Majesty’s Hospital for Sick Waifs, in 
1887, and the Young Helpers’ League in 
18111. In carrying on his great work Dr. 
Barnardo wrote many magazine articles 
and booklets, and edited The National 
Waifs’ Magazine and The Young Helpers' 
League Magazine. He was the author of 
“Something Attempted, Something Done,” 
and “The Rescue of the Waif.” A medal 
and a diploma were conferred on him by 
the Societe Nationale d'Encouragement 
du Bien of Paris. He was a fellow of the 
Royal College of Surgeons, of Edinburgh, 
and of the Royal Geographical Society. 
Dr. Barnardo was always an advocate of 
the family idea in caring for waifs, form¬ 
ing small numbers of them into cottage 
homes, instead of herding them in great 
institutions. No philanthrophy can be 
more worthy than that which transforms 
the derelict waif into* a useful and self- 
respecting member of society, and many 
a community has reason to bless the work 
whose result is embodied in Dr. Bar- 
nardo's children.

Thf. chemisette with cuffs to match is 
likely to hold favor in the Winter, and 
many of the new readymade waists are 
made for such wear. Of course some¬ 
thing must he worn under filmy lingerie 
chemisettes to protect the throat and chest. 
from Winter winds. The cuffs for wear 
with such sets are usually very deep, due 
to the sleeves with close-fitting forearm or 
long tight cuffs now worn. Among new 
stocks a popular model is a silk stock with 
an adjustable pique turnover and tab 
drawn down through a slit strap in the 
front. Small pearl buckles are used on 
some of the stocks, to match the belt

buckles. It is unfortunate that so many 
women put their stocks on untidily. The 
majority trust to feeling alone, and never 
use a hand glass to see whether the ends 
are straight or whether the collar band is 
covered. Some of the tailor-made stocks 
have small tape tabs with a buttonhole in¬ 
side at the hack, so that they can be fas¬ 
tened to a collar button, hut these are not 
usually very comfortable. Our plan is 
first to fit the under end of the stock 
exactly to the collar hand, and pin it 
firmly in place with a common pin. The 
overlapping end is then drawn firmly over 
this, hiding the plain pin, and is then 
firmly fastened by two fancy pins, which 
hold it to the under end at both top and 
bottom. After experimenting with hooks 
and similar fastenings, we have finally 
settled upon pins as the most reliable 
thing for stocks. .

The blouse and skirt shown this week, 
Nos. 5025 and 5131. would combine to 
make a very pretty Winter suit for a 
young girl. The waist is trimmed to 
give a suspender effect. It is made with 
fronts and back only, and is finished with 
the regulation shirt waist plait at the 
center front. The sleeves are the new 
ones in shirt style, tucked at the wrists, 
and can either he finished with the cuffs 
or without as may be liked, while choice 
also is allowed of a turnover or stock 
collar. The quantity of material for the 
medium size (14 years) is 4(4 yards 21, 
3(4 yards 27 or 1)4 44 inches wide, with 
l 3 A yard of handing to trim as illustrated. 
The pattern 5025 is cut in sizes for misses 
of 12, 14 and 16 years; price 10 cents. 
The skirt is cut in seven gores with ex¬ 
tensions at the lower portions that form 
the plaits. The straps are shaped and ar¬ 
ranged over the edges of the plaits, serv¬ 
ing the practical end of covering them 
neatly at the same time that they make 
effective trimming. The fullness at the 
hack is laid in inverted plaits. The quan¬ 
tity of material required for the medium 
size (14 years) is (i'/ 2 yards 27 inches 
wide, V/ 2 yards 44 inches or 3(4 yards 52 
inches wide. The pattern 5131 is cut in 
sizes for misses of 12, 14 and 16 years of 
age; price 10 cents.
