THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
November 16 , 
From Day to Day. 
THE SILVER LINING. 
High in the 1 distant sapphire way 
A cloud and a sunbeam met one day; 
Met as indeed might you and I, 
By chance, if we rode through the azure sky. 
The cloud wore a saddened, a gloomy face. 
Quoth the sunbeam, all in a quiver of grace, 
“Why: frown you so on your daily way? 
Why look so sad when life’s so gay?” 
The sombre cloud to this quest replied, 
“It's easy for you to be satisfied; 
I’m horn of rain, you’re born of the sun. 
I needs must weep till the world is done.” 
*• ’Tis true,” said the sunbeam, “that you 
must cry 
While I must smile through the boundless 
sky, 
But there’s never a sorrow that won’t undo 
Through the smile of a friend, and I’ll smile 
for you.” 
And lo, as the sunbeam spoke, the frown 
On the face of the cloud was softening down; 
’Twas years ago, but each cloud you see 
Wears a silver lining for you and me. 
—George D. Sutton, in Catholic Standard 
and Times.

The Atchison Globe remarks that the 
style in women this Winter is to be thin; 
also the style in fruit pies. Owing to the 
scarcity of fruit, the fruit pie this Winter 
will be as thin as if it had practiced anti¬ 
fat movements all Summer.

Baked apple sauce dumplings come 
well recommended, bill well-buttered 
muffin tins half full of apple sauce, boiled 
until it is rather thick. Take two cups 
of flour sifted with two teaspoons of bak¬ 
ing powder,, one teaspoon of salt, one 
tablespoon each of best lard and butter 
rubbed thoroughly together. Add milk 
to make a soft dough and drop one large 
tablespoon on top of each little tin of 
sauce. Bake about 20 minutes in a rather 
quick oven, then invert on a platter, when 
each dumpling will be a round ball, half 
apple and half batter. Serve hot with 
lemon sauce or maple syrup.

The fashionable little lingerie ties—lit¬ 
tle butterfly bows of sheer washing mate¬ 
rial—form the prettiest finish for em¬ 
broidered linen collars, but they are per¬ 
ishable, and not cheap. However, anyone 
with dainty fingers can make them from 
odd scraps of lace and fine material, d wo 
little fan-pleated ends, drawn into a tight 
“waist” in the middle, are all that are re¬ 
quired for the simpler form. A good 
many stocks have little knife-pleated 
jabots which are not difficult to imitate, 
and are usually becoming. In making any 
of this lingerie neckwear the work must 
be exquisitely neat, and the material 
sheer, or the effect will not be good.

A Maine housekeeper gives the follow¬ 
ing as her mode of machine hemstitching, 
which goes one step further than the 
method given by Alice M. Ashton on pa; e 
758. The edge of the cloth where the 
threads are to be drawn is first rubbed 
with a piece of soap to make them draw 
out easily. After they are drawn and be¬ 
fore the hem is turned a row of machine 
stitching is run along the edge of the 
threads to catch them into groups and 
save counting, the machine doing it accu¬ 
rately. Then the hem is turned and 
hemmed down by hand at every stitch of 
the machine. A shorter or longer stitch 
makes the hemstitch finer or coarser. It 
takes an expert to know the difference 
between it and all hand work, for it is 
the hand stitch that shows.

Miss Bagley had been accustomed to 
regard every minute as gold, too precious 
to be wasted, says the Youth’s Compan¬ 
ion. The life led by the visitors at the 
hotel to which she went one Summer with 
a delicate cousin seemed to her almost 
wicked, it was so empty of work. One 
day Miss Bagley wandered off by herself 
for a walk in the woods, and when, after 
some hours, she failed to return, her cou¬ 
sin began to feel anxious. At last, to¬ 
ward night, a search-party started out. 
It was dark before they heard Miss Bag- 
ley’s voice answer their calls and came 
upon her seated on a fallen tree trunk. 
“It’s a shame you had such a fright, 
Miss Bagley,” said a kind-hearted young 
man. “I suppose you thought you might 
have to stay here till morning.” 
“I wasn’t bothering about that!" re¬ 
turned Miss Bagley, scornfully. “I guess 
I could go to sleep in the woods without 
being et up; but I was mad clear through 
to think I was lost without a sign of knit¬ 
ting-work, or so much as a table napkin 
to hem, in my pocket! I kep’ looking at 
my watch and saying, ‘Another half-hour 
gone, and I might have done most a 
whole shell on my quilt!’ You don’t 
catch me this way again, I can tell you!’’

One of our friends is employed by a 
society which, in connection with its 
other work, seeks to find employment for 
self-supporting women. A great many of 
the applicants are women suddenly 
thrown upon their own resources, often 
without the slightest preparation, and 
many of the incidents thus brought be¬ 
fore our friend are pathetic in the ex¬ 
treme. Especially is this the case with 
middle-aged women, often entirely with¬ 
out business experience, and with no one 
accomplishment that will bring in money. 
When, in addition to this lack of prac¬ 
tical knowledge, they add a squeamish 
gentility that prompts them to assert that 
they cannot do any “menial” work, their 
case is somewhat hopeless. Many such 
women, both young and old, seek posi¬ 
tions as “companions,” forgetting that a 
hired companion is, first of all, paid to 
make life easier for her employer, and 
thus very often expected to expend an 
amount of strength, good temper and 
self-abnegation quite out of proportion to 
her salary. One line of employment 
which a woman of domestic instincts and 
training is likely to find congenial is that 
of “mother’s helper,” or nursery gov¬ 
erness. She is expected to take complete 
physical care of the children, bathing and 
dressing them, helping in their lessons, 
and keeping their clothes in repair, and 
may also help the mother in her domest'c 
affairs. The usual wages are $20 to $25 
a month with board and laundry. The 
employers are usually refined people of 
modest means. Our friend tells us that 
as a ru'e British and Canadian girls are 
better prepared for such positions than 
Americans, as their domestic training, is 
more exact, the result, perhaps, of more 
firmly fixed social conditions.
