The coatee blouse shown in No. 7196 
is a fashionable model that can be made 
plain or elaborate as desired. It sug¬ 
gests an idea in combining two mate¬ 
rials ; a coatee of plain material may be 
worn with a skirt of stripes or check, 
or a velvet or satin co'atee with a skirt 
7196 Coatee Blouse, 34 to 42 bust.

that are seamed over the shoulders and 
is joined to the peplum, and this peplum 
is cut in two pieces that are seamed at

be inserted under the arms. The shield 
is separate and closed at the back. The 
under-sleeves are attached beneath the 
cuffs. For the medium size will be re¬ 
quired 3*4 yards of material 27, 2)4

Crocheting an Auto Toque. 
In response to a recent request, the 
following instructions are given. Mate¬ 
rials required are three skeins of eider¬ 
down wool, two skeins in a contrasting 
color of the wool, or five skeins of one 
color if the rolled edge is to be the same 
as the crown. An amber crochet hook 
No. 9 or bone hook No. 8 is used. 
Chain 3 and join in a ring. Draw up 
the loop on needle, wool over and pick 
up a loop in ring, wool over and pick 
up another loop, wool over and through 
all 5 loops on needle, ch. 1, thus forming 
one cluster. Make 8 more clusters in 
the ring and join. 
Second round: draw up the loop on 
needle, wool over and pick up a loop 
through the joining stitch, wool over and 
pick up another loop in same space, wool 
over and through all 5, ch. 1. *Wool 
over, pick up a loop in next space, wool 
over, pick up another loop in same 
space, wool over through all 5, ch. 1, 
and repeat from* all around, increasing 
by putting an extra cluster in every 
other space. 
Third round: increase in every third 
space. 
Fourth round: increase in every fourth 
space. 
Fifth round: increase in every sixth 
space. 
Sixth round: increase in every tenth 
space or 3 times in round. 
Seventh round: increase in the six¬ 
teenth and last spaces. 
Make four rounds without increasing; 
then draw a loop of the contrasting color 
through and turn, working 6 rounds, 
from the other side, to form the turn 
over. 
Another attractive little crocheted cap 
is the Ostend toque, which is a small 
toque with the brim rolled up, often 
trimmed with a quill or buckle. This 
calls for six skeins of Germantown 
zephyr and a No. 11 amber hook. Toque 
should measure 11 inches wide by 13 
inches long, unrolled. The toque is 
made of three threads throughout. Wind 
off three skeins into a ball. (The 8 -fold 
is used double.) 
Chain 40, so that chain measures 22 
inches, join. 
Make 6 rounds single crochet, taking 
up back loop only. 
Make 14 rounds single crochet, tak¬ 
ing up both loops. 
21 st round—decrease 1 stitch every 8 
stitches. 
22d round—Without decreasing. 
23d round—Decrease every 6 stitches. 
24th round—Without decreasing. 
25th round—Decrease every 5 stitches. 
26th round—Without decreasing. 
27th round—Decrease every 3 stitches. 
28th round—Decrease every other 
stitch. 
29th round—Draw a loop through 
each stitch, take up yarn, draw through 
all loops, fasten off. Pull threads 
through to wrong side. 
The last few rounds, forming the cen¬ 
ter of crown, have a tendency to push 
out in a peak. To avoid this, crochet 
these rounds a little tighter, c. W. W. 
Winter Puddings. 
Extra Good Rice Pudding.—One-half 
cup rice, two cups water, one quart milk, 
four tablespoons sugar, one tablespoon 
corn starch, one-half teaspoon salt; 
flavor to suit, vanilla, lemon or nutmeg. 
Wash rice and soak one-half hour in 
cold water, then pour this off and let 
dish stand on back part of stove until 
it becomes blood warm. Now pour off 
water again and add one pint cold water. 
Cook pudding in double boiler one-half 
hour; then add one pint cold milk and 
in 15 minutes add the corn starch mixed 
with one-half cup of the remaining milk. 
After 10 minutes’ cooking add rest of 
milk, sugar, salt and flavoring. Stir 
well and after turning into a pudding 
dish bake 20 minutes in a moderate oven. 
This pudding can be served hot or cold.' 
Peanut Pudding.—Scald one pint of 
fresh milk, add two tablespoonfuls of 
butter, beat well three eggs, add to them 
two-thirds of a cupful of sugar, two 
ounces of chopped peanuts and 10 drops 
of almond extract. Butter molds, fill 
with the mixture and bake for 20 min¬ 
utes. 
Fig Pudding.—Chop one pound of figs 
up fine, add half a pound of flour, half a 
pint of bread crumbs, a pound of 
chopped suet, half a teaspoonful of salt, 
a pound of sugar, four eggs, and milk 
enough to mix as stiff as bread dough. 
Pour into a mold and boil six hours; if 
the water grows low, more must be 
added. Serve with foam sauce. 
Potato Pudding.—Beat the yolks of 
four eggs and three-quarters of a cupful 
of sugar until light, add the grated rind 
and juice of half an orange, half a cup¬ 
ful of seeded raisins, half a cupful of 
chopped English walnuts and a cupful 
of potatoes which have been boiled, 
cooled and grated; lastly fold in the 
stiffly beaten whites of eggs. Turn into 
a buttered pudding form and bake about 
30 minutes in a moderate oven. Serve 
with any liquid pudding sauce, but pref¬ 
erably a sauce made from rich fruit 
syrup. 
Arabian Pudding.—Two rounded 
tablespoonful of butter, four tablespoon¬ 
fuls of sugar, four tablespoonfuls of 
milk, one beaten egg, one and one- 
fourth cups of flour, one teaspoonful of 
baking powder, one dozen stoned and 
chopped dates, one-fourth cupful chopped 
pecans or walnuts. Bake in a quick oven 
20 minutes or longer. Serve warm with 
whipped cream sweetend and flavored 
with vanilla. 
Prune Pudding.—One pint of milk, 
one-half a cup of bread crumbs, one-half 
a cup of sugar, three eggs, one table- 
spoonful of butter, one cup of chopped 
prunes and a dash of cinnamon. Beat 
the sugar, eggs, salt and cinnamon to¬ 
gether, then add the milk, stirring well 
the while, and shake in the crumbs and 
chopped prunes. . Dot the pudding top 
with bits of butter, and bake slowly until 
the custard is firmly set. To serve it 
with a delicate lemon flavored sauce 
makes it doubly delicious. 
Birch Bark Picture Frames. 
T have seen very pretty picture frames 
made of birch bark. Can you tell me what 
the red or green around the edge is; also 
the straw colored material that holds the 
frame together? M. s. 
This question is very indefinite, as we 
are not told what the frames are like. 
It is most probable the material used 
with them is raffia fiber, as this is often 
used in such work. This can be bought 
in a great variety of colors from deal¬ 
ers in artists’ materials or fancy work. 
The matter of using birch bark is a 
somewhat tender subject, as we have 
never yet printed any reference to it 
without receiving indignant letters from 
well-meaning people who accuse us of 
defacing natural beauty by encouraging 
vandals to flay these trees. We have 
never yet been guilty of skinning a 
birch tree, and have tried to dissuade 
others from doing it, but where such a 
tree has been cut down we have appre¬ 
ciated the usefulness of its bark, espe¬ 
cially in making flower pot covers and 
rustic baskets. A birch bark fern dish, 
containing an inner dish of earthenware 
to resist moisture, filled with partridge- 
berry, green moss, and little woods ever¬ 
greens, is a charming gift in Fall or 
Winter, which the town dweller will ap¬ 
preciate.

You need the most power¬ 
ful and reliable light you can 
get when loading the wagon 
for market in the early 
morning. 
Rayo lanterns are the most 
powerful and reliable lan¬

They do not flicker, but 
burn with a steady, brilliant 
light. They will not blow 
out. They are economical, 
because, besides being 
moderate in price, they give 
you the greatest light value 
for the oil they burn. 
Rayo lanterns are made in nu¬ 
merous styles, sizes and finishes, 
to suit any use. Best

struction, yet reliable
