Chrysanthemums and Common 
Folks. 
The great, fringy, Chrysanthemums 
which florists grow to such luxurious per¬ 
fection seem to have taken the heart out 
of the lesser amateurs and home growers, 
for one surely sees not nearly so many 
about private dwellings as were in evi- 
5498 Corset Cover, 32 to 42 bust. 
dence a few years ago. Nor do all the 
villages hold Chrysanthemum shows, as 
was at one time customary. Perhaps the 
labor of lifting, repotting and stimulating 
the plants, protecting from frosts, and yet 
providing sufficient fresh aid and sunshine 
—perhaps all this necessary “fussing” has 
resulted in our dismissing this loveliest of 
all the Autumn flowers as fit only for the 
specialists. My own stock had been al¬ 
lowed to deteriorate to a few which were 
hardy and self-reliant enough to hold their 
own in the border and in out-of-the-way 
nooks, till in August, 1905, a friend gave me 
small roots of a really good white variety. 
No blooms were to be had that year, but 
the following Spring there were plants 
enough for a trial both in pots and in the 
border. Those in pots were pinched back 
in early Summer and repotted once or 
twice. They did not receive the care nec¬ 
essary to the making of fine specimens, 
but the blooms were well formed and of 
better size and quality than those of 
their sister plants, which I lifted from the 
border in early September. These last 
were leggy speciments with too many 
flowers for good quality, but when tied to 
supports they straightened up surprisingly 
and made a bright corner in the dining¬ 
room for weeks, in company with a tub¬ 
ful of scarlet geraniums. By keep ng the 
’mums on the sunny end of the veranda 
till it was cold enough for the ground 
to freeze their blooming was delayed 
6496 Seven Gored Kilt Plaited Skirt, 
provided a small stock of at least one 
good sort of Chrysanthemums. Though 
we cannot raise nine-inch flowers, some¬ 
thing far less tremendous in size is yet 
lovely and well worth while.

The Rural Patterns. 
A strip of broad embroidery is now 
often used to make a corset cover, accord¬ 
ing to pattern shown. The corset cover is 
made in two pieces that are joined at the 
back with the basque portion that is 
seamed to its lower edge. The arms-eye 
edge must be under-faced or finished with 
beading, and the front edges are hemmed 
but the upper edge is left untouched. I he 
quantity of material required for the me¬ 
dium size is 1J4 yard of embroidered edg¬ 
ing 16 inches wide, with (4 yard of plain 
material 36 inches wide, for the basque 
portion, 2 yards of beading and 1J4 yard 
of lace. The pattern 5498 is cut in sizes 
for a 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42 bust meas¬ 
ure, price 10 cents. 
The kilted skirt shown is one of the 
popular new models. 1 he skirt is cut in 
7 gores and is laid in backward-turning 
plaits that give a box plait effect at the 
center front. The fullness at the back is 
laid in inverted plaits. 1 he quantity of 
material required for the medium size is 
8yards 27, 6*4 yards 44 or 52 inches 
wide, if material has figure or nap; 7*4 
yards 27, 4^4 yards 44 or-4(4 yards 52 
inches wide, if it has not. Ihe pattern 
5496 is cut in sizes for a 22, 24. 26, 28 and 
30 inch waist measure, price 10 cents. 
Apple-Sauce Cake—One cup of sugar, 
one-half cup of butter, melted; one and 
one-half cups of apple-sauce (strained), 
one cup of raisins, two cups of flour, two 
teaspoonfuls of soda, sifted with flour; 
spices to taste. 
Dutch Cake.—Take two pounds ot 
raised bread dough, one pint of sugar, half 
a cupful of butter (or more if it is to be 
made cpiite rich), half a nutmeg grated, 
one teaspoonful of cinnamon and a pound 
of large raisins. Mix well and put in a 
greased pan. Let it rise about three- 
quarters of an hour, or until the loaf is 
nearly double its original size, and bake 
in a moderate oven. This is very good 
when fresh; if we wish to make it richer 
we use an egg, which is mixed in with 
the butter. Using currants instead of 
raisins, we have the English currant loaf. 
The same recipe makes very nice buns.

AM the paint man. 
1 have a ne-.u way 
of manufacturing 
and selling paints. It’s 
unique'— it’s better. It 
revolutionized the paint 
business of this country 
last year. 
Before my plan was 
invented paint was sold 
in two ways — either 
ready-mixed or the in¬ 
gredients were bought and mixed i>y the painter. 
Ready-mixed paint settles on the shelves, form¬ 
ing a sediment at the bottom of the can. The 
chemical action in ready-mixed paint, when 
standing in oil, eats the life out of the oil. The 
oil is the very life of all paints. 
Paint made by the painter cannot be proper¬ 
ly made on account of lack of the heavy mixing 
machine. 
My paint is unlike any other paint in the world. 
It is ready to use. but not ready-mixed. 
My paint is made to order after each order is 
received, packed in hermetically sealed cans 
with the very day it is made stamped on each 
can by my factory inspector. 
I ship my thick pigment, which lis double 
strength, freshly ground, in separate cans, and 
in another can, I ship the pure, old process 
Linseed Oil—the kind you used to buy years ago. 
Any child can stir them together. 
I sell my paint direct from my factorv to 
user you pay no dealer or middleman profits. 
My $100.00 Cash Guarantee 
I guarantee, under $100 Cash Forfeit, 
that the paint I am offering you does 
not contain water, benzine, whiting, or 
barytes and that my Oilo is pure, old- 
fashioned linseed oil and contains ab¬ 
solutely no foreign substance whatever. 
/ guarantee the freight on six gallons or over. 
My paint is so good that 1 make this wonder¬ 
fully fair test offer: 
When you receive your shipment of paint, 
you can use tiuo full gallons —that will cover 
600 square feet of wall—two coats. 
If, after you have used that much of my 
paint, you are not perfectly satisfied with it in 
NOTE—My 8 Year Guarantee Backed by $50 OOO Bondm 
every detail, you can return the remainder of 
your order and the two gallons will not cost 
you one penny. 
No other paint manufacturer ever made such 
a liberal offer. 
It is because I manufacture the finest paint, 
put up in the best way, that I can make this 
offer. 
I go even further. I sell all of my paint on 
si .r months’ time, if desired. 
This gives you an opportunity to paint your 
buildings when they need it, and pay for the 
paint at your convenience. 
Back of my paint stands my Eight- 
Year officially signed, iron-clad 
Guarantee. 
For further particulars regarding my plan 
of selling, and complete color card of all 
colors, send a postal to O. L. Chase, St. Louis, 
Mo. I will send my paint book—the most com¬ 
plete book of its kind ever published—abso¬ 
lutely free. Also my instruction book entitled 
‘‘This Little Book Tells How to Paint” and 
copy of my 8-year guarantee.
