The Rural Patterns. 
The tucked blouse shown in No. 6561 
is an excellent model for thin fabrics. 
The waist is made with front and backs. 
The front is tucked in groups, between 
which the banding is arranged and is laid 
in two wider tucks at each shoulder, but 
the back is without fullness. It is banded 
with trimming, however, and this trim¬ 
ming is finished with a little tuck at each 
edge. The fancy sleeves are moderately 
full and gathered into the cuffs. The 
6561 Tucked Blouse, 34 to 42 bust. 
plain sleeves are made in one piece each. 
The stock collar finishes the neck. The 
quantity of material required for the 
medium size is 3 y% yards 21 or 24, 3J4 
yards 32 or 1% yards 44 inches wide with 
nine yards of banding. The pattern 6561 
is cut in sizes for a 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42 
inch bust measure; price 10 cents. 
An attractive lingerie blouse is shown 
in No. 6585. The shallow round yoke is 
pretty and smart, but neither it nor the 
trimming is necessary, for the blouse can 
be made without as shown in the small 
view. The sleeves, too, are susceptible of 
different treatments and consequently 
the one model provides several. Linen 
lawn with trimming of Spanish linen 
6585 Tucked Blouse. 84 to 42 busto 
lace makes the waist illustrated and the 
sleeves are long and unlined, but a great 
many women like the puffs supported by 
foundations and plain linings can be 
used if preferred. Again the cuffs can be 
cut off if three-quarter length is desired, 
and plain sleeves can be used if a simpler 
effect is sought. The waist consists of 
front and backs, the yoke is separate 
and applied over it and the trimming is 
arranged on indicated lines. When made 
unlined the portions of the fancy sleeves 
are joined one to the other, when lined 
the puffs are arranged over the lining 
and the caps are finished free at their 
lower edges. The quantity of material 
required for the medium size is 3/ 2 
yards 21 or 24, 2% yards 32 or two yards 
44 inches wide with 4 / yards of wide 
and seven yards of narrow banding. The 
pattern 6585 is cut in sizes for a 34, 36, 
38, 40 and 42 inch bust measure; price 
10 cents. 
The Cold Sponge Bath. 
In these days of earnest seeking for 
health I am surprised that so little is 
said about the daily cold water bath. As 
a preventer of colds and grippe I believe 
there is no other one thing that equals 
it. I am going to tell you how a busy 
farmer’s wife with a family of children 
to get off to school, does it. It takes 
from 15 to 20 minutes, and should be 
done immediately on rising in the morn¬ 
ing. Two or three quarts of cold water 
is sufficient. Take a good-sized linen 
towel, wring it out pretty dry and rub 
the face and neck, then wring it out 
again and rub the arms and chest. In 
this way go all over the body, wringing 
the towel out from the cold water often, 
because it will soon get warm. It is won¬ 
derful how good it makes one feel. Truly 
“cleanliness is next to godliness.”

Sweet Cucumber Pickles. 
In 1908 I found a recipe for canning 
sweet cucumber pickles. Part of the recipe 
was to take out of hot salt water and put in 
cold water. This was the best recipe I ever 
had, and I laid it away so carefully that I 
cannot find it. Can you help me out? 
MRS. c. w. 
The following is the only recipe for 
sweet cucumber pickle we printed in 
1908: Put cucumbers in cold weak brine 
(V/ 2 cup salt to one gallon of water) 
for 24 hours. Take out and dry on 
cloth. To one gallon vinegar add two 
cups of sugar and nearly one ounce of 
mixed spice, heat boiling hot. Put in 
pickles and let boil up once. Put in 
cans immediately, and pour hot vinegar 
over them; seal up. They keep well, and 
are very nice. 
Another recipe is as follows: Let the 
cucumbers stand in salt water three days. 
Heat the brine once or twice and pour 
over them. Drain; put in a jar and pour 
over them hot vinegar with cloves and 
cinnamon in a bag; two-thirds cupful 
sugar to quart of vinegar; put in plenty 
of horseradish and this will keep sealed 
or open. Put in a little alum to make 
them brittle. 
Simple Corn Cure. —If you, are af¬ 
flicted with corns use liquid court-plaster 
on them; use it every day, keep them 
completely covered, and you will be sur¬ 
prised how soon your feet will be com¬ 
fortable, but keep up the treatment until 
they are well. It is like having new feet. 
_ L. R. 
Nature makes the cures J 
after all. 
Now and then she gets 
into a tight place and needs 
helping out. 
Things get started in the 
wrong direction. 
Something is needed to 
check disease and start the 
system in the right direction 
toward health. 
Scott’s Emulsion of Cod 
Liver Oil with hypophosphites 
can do just this. 
It strengthens the nerves, 
feeds famished tissues, and 
makes rich blood.
