From An Old Time Cook Book. 
Just how old the book is, is not known 
but according to family tradition, it is 
nearer one hundred than 50 years. It 
has been minus a cover and the first 10 
pages for half a century. Its title and 
author is consequently missing, but its 
yellowed pages still hold many quaint 
and toothsome recipes, as the following 
will show.

beef or veal till tender. If you have any 
beef or veal bones, crack and boil them 
with the meat, (they should be boiled 
longer than the meat) together with a 
little salt pork, sweet herbs, and pepper 
and salt. When boiled sufficiently, take 
it off, strain it, and let it remain till the 
next day, then skim off the fat, take up 
the jelly and scrape off the dregs that 
adhere to the bottom of it. Put in the 
whites and shells of several eggs, several 
blades of mace, a little lemon juice, 
set it on the fire, stir it well till it boils, 
then strain it till clear through a jelly bag. 
Pound Cake.—Mix a pound of sugar 
with three-quarters of a pound of butter. 
When worked white, stir in the yolks of 
eight eggs beaten to a froth, then the 
whites. Add a pound of sifted flour and 
mace or nutmeg to taste. If you wish to 
have your cake particularly nice, stir in, 
just before you put it into the pans, a 
quarter of a pound of citron or almonds 
blanched, and powdered fine in rosewater. 
Tory Wafers.—Melt a teacup of butter, 
5520 Fancy Plaited Skirt, 
22 to 30 waist. 
half a cup of lard, and mix them with a 
quart of Hour, a couple of beaten eggs, a 
teaspoonful of salt, and flavoring. Add 
milk till of the right consistency to roll 
out; roll it out about the third of an 
inch in thickness, cut it into cakes with 
a cookie cutter, lay them on buttered bak¬ 
ing plates, and bake them a few minutes. 
Frost them as soon as baked, and sprinkle 
comfits or sugar sand on the top. 
Whigs.—Mix half a pound of sugar 
with six ounces of butter, a couple of 
beaten eggs, a teaspoonful of cinnamon. 
Stir in two pounds of flour, a teacup of 
yeast, and milk sufficient to make a thick 
batter. When light, bake them in small 
cups. 
Carrot Pie.—Scrape the skin off the 
carrots, boil them soft and strain them 
through a Sieve. To a pint of the strained 
pulp put three pints of milk, six beaten 
eggs, two tablespoonsful of melted butter, 
the juice of half a lemon and the grated 
rind of a whole one. Sweeten it to your 
taste, and bake it in deep pie plates with¬ 
out an upper crust.

The Rural Patterns. 
The blouse waist and skirt pictured go 
together well, and will make a handsome 
suit. 1'he waist has a fitted lining, which 
is closed at the center-front, This lin¬ 
ing is faced to form the chemisette at the 
back and on it are arranged the front 
portion of the chemisette, and tucked 
back and fronts of the waist. The over 
portions consist of three straps at each 
side that overlap one another, giving a 
plaited effect, and these are arranged over 
the waist, meeting at the back. The 
sleeves are quite novel, the lower edges 
of the linings being covered with little 
frills, while the plaited portions are ar¬ 
ranged over them. Idle belt consists of 
the foundation and turn-over portions 
joined one to the other. The quantity of 
material required for the medium size is 
3J4 yards 21, 3)4 vards 27 or 2 yards 44 
inches wide, with yard of all-over lace, 
and yard of velvet for the belt. The 
pattern 5521 is cut in sizes for a 32, 34, 
36, 38 and 40 inch bust measure; price 
10 cents. 
The skirt is cut in nine gores. Those 
at the side and back are plaited and 
joined to a foundation yoke, after which 
the over portions are plaited and ar¬ 
ranged over it, when the front gore is 
seamed thereto and is laid in one plait 
at each edge. The quantity of material 
required for the medium size is 11J4 
yards 27, 6J4 yards 44 or 5 yards 52 
inches wide. The pattern 5520 is cut in 
sizes for a 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30 inch waist 
measure; price 10 cents. 
The Bookshelf. 
When Love Speaks, by Will Payne. 
This is a romance of modern business J 
conditions; a story whose complexities 
are produced by the efforts of an honest 
district attorney to uphold the law, 
when a great distillery trust is ready to 
oppose him at every point, resorting to 
arson and blackmail for the purpose of 
choking off any independent competition. 
The scene of the story is a Michigan har¬ 
bor town, and its social atmosphere is 
given with wonderful vividness. The au¬ 
thor appears not only as a student of the 
conditions he pictures, but as one who 
must have lived among them, so close is 
his sympathetic insight. The manner in 
which modern men of business, clean and 
honest in their own lives, grow to over¬ 
look or excuse the evils of the “graft” 
around them, is very clearly shown, and 
also the partnership of respectable citi¬ 
zens with these forces of evil. There is 
a well-written love story, and an appeal¬ 
ing picture of happy domestic life. Many 
modern American writers make a novel 
merely a vehicle for displaying their 
knowledge of trades and manufactures, 
with shadowy characters quite subordi¬ 
nate to it; Mr. Payne creates a set of 
vivid characters, and shows how the out¬ 
side conditions affect their lives. In the 
culminating chapter especially he displays 
a depth of feeling that impresses the 
reader" very strongly. Published by the 
Macmillan Company, New York; price 
$1.50.

easy is the best bred in the company.—

Nothing is more moving to man than 
the spectacle of reconciliation; our weak¬ 
nesses are thus indemnified and are not 
too costly—being the price we pay for 
the hour of forgiveness; and the arch¬ 
angel, who has never felt anger, has rea¬ 
son to envy the man who subdues it. 
When thou forgivest—the man who has 
pierced thy heart stands to thee in the

closes the wound with a pearl.—Jean Paul
