“IT IS NOT GROWING LIKE A TREE.” 
It is not growing like a tree 
In bulk, doth make men better be: 
Or standing long nn oak. three hundred year, 
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sear: 
A lily of a day 
Is fairer far in May. 
Although it fall and die that night: 
It was the plant and flower of light. 
In small proportions we just beauties see: 
And in short measures life may perfect be. 
—Ren .Tonson (1574?—1637).

Pillow tops made of leather postal 
cards are seen among novelties in fancy 
work. These leather cards, often hand¬ 
somely decorated with painting and burnt 
work, are quite showy; but unsuitable for 
mailing. To make a pillow top, holes 
are neatly punched through the leather 
along the edges, and the cards then laced 
together with silk cord or leather belt 
lacing. Twenty-four are required, four 
the long way and six deep making a 
square pillow. A fringe of chamois 
leather edges the pillow.

Some housekeepers who do not have 
all the materials for regular Philadelphia 
scrapple make an imitation of this fa¬ 
mous dish from sausage meat, the pro¬ 
portion being one pound of sausage, one 
tablespoonful of salt and one pound of 
cornmeal to four quarts of cold water. 
The sausage meat is first mixed with a 
little water so as to separate the particles 
somewhat, then all the water, salt and 
meat put in a saucepan to boil. When it 
is boiling hard the meal is stirred in, as 
in making mush, slowly at first, all being 
mixed smooth with a wooden paddle. 
When boiled to a thick batter turn into 
moistened pans to mold. When cold it 
is sliced thin and tried crisp for break¬ 
fast.

People who are beginning to worry 
as they approach the age for Oslerizing 
might get an inspiration from the patri¬ 
arch thus described in the Youth’s Com¬ 
panion. Grandfather Durgan is 92 years 
old. One Summer day he took his 
youngest great-grandson out to the or¬ 
chard to investigate the August Sweets. 
As the old man bit into an apple he 
seemed hesitant and thoughtful. 
“What’s the matter, grandpa ?’’ asked 
the boy. 
“It jest occurred to me,” said grandpa, 
“that my teeth ain’t jest what they used 
to be. I must be gettin’ on. Now if I 
was sure I’d live to be an old man, so’s 
’twould be a payin’ investment, I believe 
I’d go and git me some false ones made.” 
* 
Pork chops served with fried apples 
are prepared as follows: Season two 
pounds of pork chops with a teaspoonful 
of salt, a saltspoonful of white pepper and 
a half teaspoonful of powdered sage, roll 
them in fine bread crumbs and cook slow¬ 
ly for twenty minutes. Place them upon 
a hot platter and set them in the oven 
while the apples are frying. Pare and 
cut in slices abou two-thirds of an inch 
thick four tart apples. Cut the slices 
around the apple so that the core is in 
the center of each piece, then cut out the 
core, forming rings. Pour part of the 
fat from the pan in which the chops were 
fried, lay in the apples and cook until 
brown upon one side, then turn them 
carefully with a pancake turner and 
brown the other side. Serve on the plat¬ 
ter with the chops.

A YOUNG girl, applying for employment 
at a well-known New York agency re¬ 
cently, explained that she had lost her 
previous position because she was not 
rapid enough. She worked in a candy 
factory, wrapping small boxes in paraffin 
paper, sealed at the ends with fancy paper 
wafers—just such boxes as the train boy 
carries in his businesslike basket. Her 
daily “stent” was 1,200 boxes—no girl 
could remain who fell below that num¬ 
ber—and somehow, no matter how she 
tried, her fingers could never enclose 
more than 1,100 boxes in a day. They 
were nice people, she said, but she 
thought 1,200 boxes a day was a good

deal to expect for $5 a week. It seemed 
so to us—especially when we think what 
it would mean to some girl who has to 
support herself without aid from home. 
The untrained country girl who is 
cramped for spending money in some 
good home has reason to “think of her 
mercies,” as Jo March says, before start¬ 
ing out to try her fortune in the city.

A great many fabrics for Autumn and 
Winter wear are figured in some way, 
some with an embroidered effect, some 
with shadow figures, checks or stripes.

a yard; foule cloth with shadow check 
$1.75 a yard; shadow hair-lines, 40 inches 
wide, $2 a yard. Satin-faced prun¬ 
ella, a very durable fabric with a silky 
luster, with hair-line cord, costs $2.50 a 
yard, 44 inches wide. Satin Venetian 
cloth, with Jacquard woven polka dots, is 
$3 a yard, and poplin cloth with Jacquard 
figures the same. Satin-faced black Ve¬ 
netian suiting with colored polka dots, 
46 inches, $3. These are all new models; 
there are many plain and mixed suitings, 
costing from 65 cents to $1.50 a yard; 
cashmere and henrietta from 50 cents to 
$2.50 For a good cloth gown that must 
last a long time nothing excels silk-warp 
henrietta, especially in black, and no mat¬ 
ter how fashions may change, it is never 
really out of date. For a light-weight 
woolen dress, suitable for indoor or Sum¬ 
mer wear, wool batiste is a favorite; it 
costs 50 to 75 cents a yard (sometimes 
37)4 at a special sale) ; is softer, yet 
firmer than voile, being a finer weave, 
and. in delicate evening colors, makes a 
very pretty and economical gown for 
state occasions. 
The Rural Patterns. 
The girl’s dress shown gives a good 
idea for making over, when two out¬ 
grown garments may be combined to 
form one, or the separate waist may be 
made of new material to go with the re¬ 
modeled skirt. The dress is made with 
the blouse and skirt which are quite sep¬ 
arate. The blouse includes tucked front 
and full sleeves and the fitted body lin¬ 
ing, which can be used or omitted as ma¬ 
terial renders desirable. It is closed in¬ 
visibly at the center back. There is a 
belt at the waist line and another attached 
to the skirt, so that the two can be but¬ 
toned firmly together. The skirt is five 
gored and is laid in backward turning 
plaits which give a box plaited effect at 
the center front. The quantity of mate¬ 
rial required for a girl of 10 is, for waist 
2)4 yards 27, 2J4 yards 32 or 1)4 yards 
44 inches wide; for the skirt 3)4 yards 
27, 2)4 yards 32 or 2 yards 44 inches wide. 
The pattern 5119 is cut in sizes for girls 
of six, eight, 10 and 12 years of age; 
price 10 cents. 
The infant’s kimono, which may be 
long or short, is made with fronts and 
back that are shirred at the shoulders and 
includes the wide characteristic sleeves. 
The quantity of material required for the 
long kimono is 2)4 yards 27. or 1)4 yards 
36 inches wide with 5 yards of binding. 
For the short kimono 1 j4 yards either 27 
or 36 inches wide with 1)4 yards of band¬ 
ing. The pattern 5071 is cut in one size 
only; price 10 cents.
