we provided the dinner at 50 cents a plate. 
But here we blundered. We reckoned on 
150 and it seems 50 is a large attendance. 
Wc paid $18 for turkey, and other things 
accordingly. But wc were fortunate 
enough to feed about a hundred people. 
We gave them baked beans, with chili

salmon salad, turkey and mashed potatoes*

plum pudding with hot or cold sauce, and 
frozen pineapple pudding, and they ate 
as if it tasted good. They sampled every¬ 
thing as it came along and kept the 
waiters busy. I should have said wait¬ 
resses—for there were two at each table, 
in white waists with bright red ribbon at 
their throats. The decorations were also 
red and white. We shall not make more 
than $15, but we have a reputation for 
“good feed,” and we don’t mean to lose it.

Last night we installed our officers for 
1906. We are now fairly settled in the 
new home. We are full of enthusiasm, 
and all eyes are on the goal. Everyone—

come among us—catches our spirit and is

and push too. We are in pretty soft mud, 
but we are not stuck by any means. We 
are certainly surprising some very good 
people of this neighborhood! Some one 
said to me yesterday: “Well, you would 
know they were farmers, wouldn’t you?” 
and smiled. I had been waiting on a man 
whose neckfie was crooked, and whose 
coat had some dust on one sleeve. where 
he had leaned against something. Oh, I 
knew-what §hq nicant! Their faces and 
143 
hands were weathered. I remembered that 
I had been educated among men who paid 
every attention to the little niceties of 
dress and manner. This woman plainly 
expected me to smile too—but I didn’t. 
I was proud to stand among those men 
and say, “They are a fine-looking lot of 
men, and as you say, anyone would know 
them for farmers.” adah e. colcord. 
The Rural Patterns. 
The plain shirt waist is always in de¬ 
mand however many the fancy ones may 
be. It fills a very definite need, and is 
peculiarly ^appropriate for the simpler 
materials and for general morning wear. 
In this instance the material is white 
linen, but in addition to the many wash¬ 
able waistings those of the heavier weaves 
of silk are quite appropriate. The waist 
is made with the fronts and backs, fitted 
by shoulder and under-arm seams. The 
sleeves are in one piece each and gathered 
into straight cuffs. The quantity of ma¬ 
terial required for the medium size is 
3~/s yards 21, 3 Y\ yards 27 or 2 yards 44 
inches wide. The pattern 5110 is cut in 
sizes for a 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 
inch bust measure; price 10 cents. 
Entire dresses are much more becoming 
and better liked for girls of 14 and under 
than any other sort, and this one can be 
made adapted to school wear or to more 
dressy occasions. The model includes a 
little chemisette and cuffs of all-over lace, 
but these last may be made of tucked 
taffeta or the material tucked or trimmed 
with some little banding. Cashmere, hen- 
rietta, veiling and the simple silks allowed 
for growing girls all are appropriate. The 
dress is made with the body lining and 
the waist which is arranged over it and 
the skirt, the two being joined beneath 
the belt. The waist is tucked while the 
trimming straps make effective finish, and 
the sleeves can be cut off below the cuffs 
if elbow length is desired. The skirt is 
cut in four gores and is closed invisibly 
beneath the box plait at the center back. 
The quantity of material required for the 
medium size (12 years) is 5j-4 yards 27, 
4 Y\ yards 36 or 4% yards 44 inches wide 
with Y yard 18 inches wide for the 
chemisette and cuffs and .3*4 yards of 
banding. The pattern 5260 is cut in sizes 
for girls of 8, 10, 12 and 14 years of age; 
price 10 cents._

“ A Poor Stove is Not Cheap at any Price" 
Here is an exact photograph of one of our baking tests daily performed by our bakers 
at leading dealers. A $1,000.0* challenge to duplicate this feat has been standing 
for years and is yet unaccepted by any of the numerous range manufacturers in thiscountry. 
Thousands have witnessed the STERLING RANGE bake a full barrel of flour into over 250 
loaves of perfect bread with less than one hod of coal. It bakes sixteen 1 & pound loaves at 
one baking with but one change, and that from top to bottom. And during the test the fire

Chocolate Blanc Mange. —We think 
it much nicer made without either milk or 
cornstarch. Take some of the wheat break¬ 
fast cereals, such as cream of wheat or 
vitos, and cook it the same as you would 
for breakfast mush, not forgetting a little 
salt. Have it thick enough so it will set 
firmly when cold, but not be too hard, add 
chocolate and sugar to suit your taste and 
set it away to cool in a mold. Serve cold 
with cream and sugar. This is a good 
dessert to have when milk is scarce, and 
it is not only delicious, but healthful and 
appetizing as well. s. b. r. 
A DIMPLE MAKER. 
Find a child with dimples 
and chubby arms and legs 
and you find a healthy bhild. 
Find one with drawn face 
and poor, thin body and you 
see one that needs Scott’s* 
Emulsion. Your doctor will 
no doubt tell you the child is 
fat-starved—its food is not 
nourishing it. 
Nothing helps these thin, 
pale children like Scott’s 
Emulsion. It contains the 
very element of fat they need. 
It supplies them with a per¬ 
fect and quickly digested 
nourishment. Scott’s Emul¬ 
sion brings dimples and 
rounded limbs.

is but one-fourth full of coal. A man said in the hearing of one of our representatives the 
other day: “The next range I buy will be a Sterling, for do you know there was actually 
coal in the bottom of the hod after they got through. I never saw anything to equal it.” 
In fact, our bakers often take delight in baking the last batch of sixteen loaves after the fire 
is drawn to show how the STERLING retains heat through its perfect flue system. The whole 
bearing of this striking object lesson appeals to the reason of every rational housekeeper in 
demonstrating conclusively that the STERLING RANGE will bake, roast or cook, in any man¬ 
ner, with less fuel and in less time than any other known range. And 
allow us to repeat “A Poor Stove is Not Cheap at Any Price." You 
should have a STERLING. Send for our booklet which contains all the 
facts. We only sell through live dealers, and they will candidly tell 
you the STERLING “has no equal."
