The Rural Patterns. 
The sailor dress is always in style, 
with slight modifications from year to 
year, and No. 6295 shows this season’s 
development. The costume consists of 
the blouse and the skirt. The blouse 
is made to draw on over the head and 
is faced to form the yoke. The sailor

collar finishes the neck edge and the 
shield is attached under it. The long 
sleeves are tucked at the wrists and 
joined to the straight cuffs, but those 
of shorter length are finished with 
bands and rolled-over cuffs. The skirt 
is cut in five gores and can be closed 
either at the back or the left of the

Canning Vegetables. 
In the recipes printed recently I have 
seen no quick way to can vegetables. 
I never seem to have found time for 
the three hours’ boiling recommended. 
It may be that, in consequence, we 
have not had the best possible results. 
But by the following method we have 
never had a can spoil, and we think 
them very good. String beans, Lima 
beans, peas and corn have been tried. 
One pint water, one cup sugar, one 
NEW-YORKER 
cup salt, nine cups vegetables. Boil 
five minutes, can and seal. When you 
wish to use a can, drain off the liquid, 
rinse well, drain, cover with cold wa¬ 
ter and let boil until done, five to 15 
minutes. They may be improved by 
being boiled in two waters. Drain, sea¬ 
son with cream, butter and pepper. 
String beans may be kept by putting 
into a crock a layer of beans and a 
thin layer of salt, alternately, put on 
them a plate or lid, which will fit 
inside the crock, on this put a heavy 
weight. A few days after filling the 
crock the beans will shrink enough to 
allow of others being added, which can 
be done as often as liked, provided that 
each time they are heavily weighted 
until another addition is made. A 
three-gallon crock will hold enough for 
the Winter supply for a small family, 
and can be added to for weeks. The 
beans should be put in whole. Before 
using, soak 24 hours in water in which 
a little vinegar is added. Boil and sea¬ 
son as usual. After the beans have 
been heavily weighted for a few days 
or more, depending probably on the 
dampness of the cellar in which they 
are kept, there, will be brine an inch 
or more in depth above the plate 
or cover. a. e. f.

R. N.-Y. and you'll get a quick reply and

The next time you go to the city 
will you stop at a store where Edison 
goods are sold and hear an Edison 
Phonograph? 
If you do you will be entertained — better 
entertained than you have any idea of. 
Better entertained than you have been at 
many theatres or concert halls, for the reason that 
here you may choose your entertainment rather 
than accept what has been arranged. 
If you like opera selections, a star whose 
name is familiar to you will sing. If you prefer band or orchestra music, you 
can choose not only the band or orchestra from a number of celebrated aggrega¬ 
tions, but also the music you wish to hear played. 
If you like the popular music of the day — the song hits from the latest 
musical comedies—the singers who made those hits are there to do their best 
for you. Or, if you are in the mood for a good story the country’s cleverest 
comedians will liven up the program with their fun. 
When you hear 
<©£ EDISON 
PHONOGRAPH 
I you will be impressed with a number of things. 
First, that the Edison Phonograph is a wonderful entertainer; the most won¬ 
derful of the age. 
Second, that what you have heard is not an imitation of something better 
but a reproduction of all that is best in music and songs; the actual voices of 
famous singers and the actual notes of celebrated bands and orchestras. 
Third, that you can, for a small amount of money, transfer this all-star 
company to your home and witness performance after performance, each one 
differing from the others and all of the highest order. 
Farm life should not be all work; neither should rest time become monot¬ 
onous. You, perhaps, come to the city frequently, but the wife and the children 
do not have that advantage. They miss much in the way of diversion that 
you enjoy. 
Wouldn’t they welcome the Edison Phonograph with its new songs, good 
stories and bright music! 
The farm with an Edison Phonograph is not isolated, because 
it is in touch with the one great thing that keeps a farm from be- 
I coming so, and that is clean, wholesome, fascinating entertainment. 
Remember this the next time you are in the city. The Edi¬ 
son dealer will be pleased to demonstrate and explain the Edison 
Phonograph.
