Advice About Canned Tomatoes. 
I send recipe for canning tomatoes, 
having been bothered for a number of 
years in the same way as inquirer on page 
315. After paring tomatoes, I fill my 
cans, cutting the tomatoes in two when 
putting them in. Set the cans into a 
6609 Girl’s Dress, 6 to 12 years, 
large dripping pan with about two quarts 
of water in the bottom. Put in the oven 
and keep up a moderate, fire, until they 
boil, about 10 minutes. Then take out of 
the oven and fill the cans up, from one of 
the number; put the rubbers on them, and 
not before; screw tight and set away. We 
eat them cold with pepper, salt and vine¬ 
gar, and they are as nice as fresh.

Flower Notes. 
Last Summer I sowed a package of 
Lupinus—the deep blue Texan lupine, as 
it is catalogued. Of all blue flowers I 
have ever grown this is one of the most 
charming; not only for its vigorous plants, 
which are very productive of blossoms, 
but for the beautiful light green of its 
cloverlike foliage, and the pleasing blue 
of its flowers. The plants blossomed 
till cut by the frost. The flowers grow 
in spikes making them fine for cut flowers. 
The Vinca or Madagascar periwinkle I 
found to be a most satisfactory bedding 
plant. This Winter I had a few for 
house plants, taken up in the early Fall. 
They are a pretty plant with their long, 
narrow, glossy, green leaves, resembling 
-lemon leaves somewhat. They make 
bushy, well-shaped plants over a foot high. 
piazza boxes. This vine is too well- 
known to need special description. How¬ 
ever, it is rarely grown as a house plant. 
The seeds germinated in a short time. 
While the vines have not grown as 
rapidly as I had hoped, they make fine ad¬ 
dition to the Winter garden, clean, bright 
and dainty. helen c. Andrews. 
The Rural Patterns. 
The pretty little dress shown can be 
worn with or without a guimpe. The 
dress is made with waist and skirt. The 
waist consists of the front and the backs 
and is laid in big tucks at the shoulders. 
The neck edge is finished with the shaped 
band and the little sleeves are prettily 
trimmed and gathered at their upper 
edges. The skirt is five gored and laid 
in backward turning plaits and the clos¬ 
ing is made at the hack. The quantity 
of material required for the medium size 
(10 years) is 5 % yards 27, 4 yards 36 or 
3 % yards 44 inches wide. The pattern 
5609 is cut in sizes for girls of 6, 8, 10 
and 12 years of age; price 10 cents. 
A skirt with a straight edge is often 
useful for making up bordered material or 
flouncing. As shown, the skirt is made 
in three portions. The lower flounce is 
hemmed while the upper flounce and the 
skirt are finished with wide tucks at their 
lower edges. Above this hem and these 
tucks are groups of narrow tucks and 
each flounce is gathered at its upper edge 
before the joinings are made. The ful¬ 
ness in the. skirt is arranged in length¬ 
wise tucks that arc turned outward from 
the hips and stitched flat, so doing away 
with all bulk at that point while the 
additional fulness at the back is laid in 
inverted plaits. The quantity of material 
required for the medium size is 8 yards 
27, 5J4 yards 36, 5 yards 44 inches wide 
or !() yards of bordered material 2!) inches 
wide. The pattern 5604 is cut in sizes 
for a 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30-inch waist 
measure; price 10 cents. 
The Bookshelf. 
Three Acres and Liberty, by Bolton 
Hall. This book is written with the idea 
of turning the city dweller toward the 
country, by pointing out the advantages 
of country life and its possibilities in 
the way of comfort and opportunity. Mr. 
Hall has been interested in the cultivation 
of vacant lots by the city poor, and this 
has led him to a closer study of the 
possibilities of intensive culture. He 
writes with great enthusiasm, and though 
the man who is actually wresting a living 
from the soil may take a more pessimistic 
view, there is much to interest and in¬ 
struct in the book. Mr. Hall quotes 
freely from many specialists, and the book 
has been revised, we are told, by author¬ 
ities in close touch with the soil, Mr. E. 
P. Powell writing an introduction. The 
book is written especially for city people 
who wish to escape into the country, but 
it will be equally interesting to the farmer 
who wishes to learn how his profession 
appears to those who see its bright side 
only. Published by the Macmillan Com¬ 
pany, New York; 428 pages, attractively 
bound and illustrated; price $1.75 net, 
postage 12 cents additional. 
Economy is practiced, com¬ 
fort is increased, and work is 
lessened by Machetii lamp- 
5604 Straight Sectional Walking Skirt, 
22 to 30 waist. 
They are very free bloomers, the flowers 
are white with a red eye, or a rosy pink. 
They resemble a floweret of Phlox. The 
flowers are somewat smaller in Winter, 
being then the size of a penny. They are 
free from insects. One plant was touched 
by the frost, yet the drooping leaves 
straightened up, apparently none the 
worse. 
I raised some smilax for window and 
chimneys. 
They cost less if you figure 
by the year instead of by the 
chimney. Macbeth lamp- 
chimneys add to the brilliancy 
of the lamp, and it is taken 
care of with half the bother 
when fitted with a Macbeth 
chimney. 
There are other reasons. The Index ex¬ 
plains them and also tells all about lamps, 
their proper chimneys and care. It’s free.
