spoonful of lard. Gradually beat into

cniarter teaspoonful of salt, one tea- 
spoonful of cinnamon and two ounces

ing soda, a scant teaspoonful of cinna¬ 
mon and ginger and flour enough to 
handle. Mix, roll out, cut out with a 
thimble and bake, putting them so far 
apart that they will not run together 
in the baking._ 
The Rural Patterns. 
The boys’ suit shown consists of the 
blouse and the knickerbockers. The blouse 
is made with fronts and back and is fin¬ 
ished with the big sailor collar beneath 
which it is buttoned to the shield. The 
sleeves are comfortably full, tucked at 
their lower edges to give a box-plaited 
effect. There is a belt that confines the 
blouse at the waistline and the knicker¬ 
bockers are drawn up at the knees by 
means of elastic inserted in the hems. The 
quantity of material required for the 
medium size (4 years) is 4 l /s yards 27, 
3J4 yards 36 or 2% yards 44 inches wide 
with 0 J /2 yards of braid. The pattern 
5452 is cut in sizes for boys of 2, 4 and 6 
years of age; price 10 cents. 
The little nightgown shown is simple 
in construction, and forms a very pretty 
model. The gown is made with the 
fronts and back, which are tucked and 
joined to the little yoke. The front edge 
is finished with an over-lap and button¬ 
holes are worked in the center of this to 
effect a closing. The sleeves are comfort¬ 
ably full, gathered into straight bands. 
The quantity of material required for the 
medium size (12 years) is 6 yards 27, 4J4 
yards 36 inches wide with 1J4 yards of in¬ 
sertion 2 inches wide. The pattern 5449 
is cut in sizes for girls 8, 10, 12 qnd 14 
years of age; price 10 cents. 
The Bookshelf. 
Moon-Face, and Other Stories, by 
Jack London. This volume contains 
eight stories, most of them suggesting 
the influence of Ambrose Bierce, but with¬ 
out the consummate art shown by that 
master of grotesque horrors. They are 
quite unlike the pictures of primitive na¬ 
ture in which this author shows at his 
best. Published by the Macmillan Com¬ 
pany, New York; price $1.50. 
When you write advertisers mention The 
R. N.-Y. and you’ll get a quick reply and 
“a square deal.” See guarantee, page 8. 
“Macbeth” is the sterling 
mark for lamp-chimneys. 
You can’t get a poor lamp- 
chimney with my name on it. 
Macbeth lamp-chimneys 
fit, don’t break from heat, and 
are so shaped that they get 
the most light from the oil 
consumed. 
All lamp-chimneys break. 
Mine break only when they are 
dropped or knocked over.
