Canning Tomatoes Whole. 
Hothouse tomatoes—that was my 
first thought, after tasting the salad 
served at Cousin Carrie’s tahle one day 
last March. Beside each plate was a 
small dish on which rested a tomato, 
simply peeled and seasoned with a 
French dressing. I sat facing the win¬ 
dow and I needed the evidence of the 
snowy landscape outside to convince me 
that, the seasons were not turned about 
and that Cousin Carrie had not gath¬ 
ered those tomatoes fresh from her little 
garden. Now, my relative’s purse is 
not more plethoric than my own, and I 
cannot afford hothouse vegetables in 
March; how, then, could she? I begged 
for an explanation and learned that the 
salad was made of tomatoes canned the 
previous August. Carrie good natur- 
cdly detailed for my benefit just how 
they were prepared and I pass on the 
directions to any others who may wish 
to enjoy the novel experience of eating 
tomato salad in Winter. 
“Put up your pencil,” laughed the 
little matron as I took out my memor¬ 
andum to note down her words. “The 
recipe is simple enough for a child to 
follow, though they do say that the 
simplest way is always the best. First, 
peel the tomatoes by pouring hot water 
over them. Have a sufficient number of 
wide-mouthed glass cans and pack in 
the fruit closely without jamming it. 
Don’t fill the jars too full; leave a space 
at the top for the expansion and sub¬ 
sequent shrinkage of the contents.” 
“Any salt?” I queried, as Carrie 
paused for breath. 
"Just as you prefer,” was the answer. 
“I use a little because the seasoning 
works into the tomatoes and flavors 
them throughout, but it is largely a mat¬ 
ter of taste. Now wrap each can in a 
cloth, wrung from hot water, and fill it 
with boiling water from the tea-kettle. 
Seal them up tightly and place in a

kettle or other deep receptacle filled 
with hot water. Cover all closely and 
let stand until cool. That’s all except 
to) store them in a cool, dark place such 
as one uses for canned fruit.” 
“Of course,” Carrie concluded, “the 
tomatoes may be used in 20 delicious 
ways besides salad. I select perfect, 
medium-sized fruit that is not over¬ 
ripe. By observing this precaution, 
there is no more risk about the process 
than in the similar method of preserv¬ 
ing berries by covering them in the 
cans with hot syrup, and afterwards 
placing the cans in hot water. Besides, 
who wouldn’t risk losing a can or two 
for the sake of having tomato salad in 
Winter?” 
And I agreed with her. I hope others 
will try the plan. m. e. coi.egrove. 
Peach Desserts. 
Peach Cobbler.—Peel and slice 
peaches enough to cover the bottom of a 
pudding dish thickly. Sprinkle them 
with sugar and dot with butter. Make 
a rich biscuit paste of two cupfuls of 
flour, one tablespoon ful of butter, one 
and one-half teaspoon fuls of baking 
powder, one-half teaspoon ful ot salt and 
about one-half cupful of cold water, or 
enough to make a paste that can be 
rolled. Cover the peaches with the 
paste and bake. When the cobbler 
comes from the oven turn it bottom up-

ward on a plate, heap it with whipped 
cream and sprinkle with sugar. If two 
crusts are preferred line the dish with 
the paste and before putting in the 
peaches brush it with egg and cover 
with bread crumbs. This prevents the 
crust from becoming juice soaked and 
is an excellent plan for all custard and 
fruit pics. Serve with cream or a but¬ 
ter sauce. 
Peach Compote.—Peel the peaches, 
six or eight, or more, if desired. Cut 
in halves and boil them till tender in a 
syrup of good consistency, and having 
in it just a dash of nutmeg. Have a 
cupful of rice washed and boiled in 
milk, with salt and a very little butter in 
it. Make a border of this rice on a 
dish, and fill the centre with the peaches, 
pouring over all the syrup in which they 
arc cooked. Serve with cream. 
Peach Charlotte.—Take any number 
of peaches you may desire to use, peel 
them and cut into slices and let them 
cook over a brisk fire with a tablespoon¬ 
ful of butter, a coffee cupful of sugar 
and a teaspoon ful of powdered cinna¬ 
mon (to a quart of slices) until like 
marmalade; cut thin slices of bread, dip 
them in butter, and with them line the 
sides and bottom of a tin pudding dish; 
fill the centre of the dish with alternate 
layers of peaches and bread; having 
bread for the last layer. Bake until 
the outside is a nice brown, and turn 
it out upon a dish. Serve cold with 
plain whipped cream. 
Peach Nougat.—Soak one talflespoon- 
fnl (heaping) of gelatin in half cupful 
of milk. Set in pan of hot water until 
melted, cool slightly and add to a pint 
of whipped cream. Whip briskly and 
then add the stiflly beaten whites of 
two eggs. Add last a small teacup ful 
of sugar and a half pint of ripe peaches 
mashed to a pulp. Continue the beating 
until the mixture shows no sign of melt¬ 
ing. Place directlv upon ice at once. 
It can be served with sliced peaches 
around the nougat. 
Peach Quirles.—Wet two tablespoon- 
fuls corn starch with a little cold 
water, then pour over it, stirring hard, 
one cupful of boiling milk, add a deli¬ 
cate pinch of salt, tablespoon ful sugar, 
and a teaspoonful of lemon juice. Cook 
until it thickens, remove from fire and 
fold in the stiffly beaten whites of two 
eggs. Butter little molds or cups, put 
some of the mixture in, gently pressing 
against sides so as to leave a hollow, 
in which place half a peach (pared and 
pitted), fill with the mixture; let cool 
and serve with cream. 
The Rural Patterns. 
A pretty little Russian suit is shown 
in No. 6082. The suit is made with 
the blouse and trousers. The blouse is 
fitted by means of shoulder and under¬ 
arm seams and finished with the big

at the back while the sleeves arc tucked 
at their lower edges. The trousers arc

tern 6082 is cut in siz.es for boys of 4, 
6 and 8 years of age; price 10 cents. 
The coat No. 6085, with the skirt fol¬

wear, while equally suitable for linen, 
poplinette, or other heavy wash mate¬ 
rials. The coat is made with fronts, 
side-fronts, backs and side-backs, the 
many seams meaning becoming lines as 
well as easy lit. The pockets are ar¬

pattern 6085 is cut in sizes for girls of

the figure, yet it has width enough at

are five gores and the front gore is 
finished with a hem at its left edge and
