The Rural Patterns. 
Russian blouse coats are now very 
popular. The model can be worn with 
a belt as illustrated or left loose as 
preferred, and this one also allows a 
choice of three-quarter full sleeves or 
long plain ones. Pongee is the material 
illustrated and the coat makes part of a 
6636 Russian Blouse Coat for Misses and 
Small Women, 14, 16 and 18 years. 
costume, but it can be utilized in a 
great many ways. It is appropriate 
for all suiting materials, those of the 
Summer as well as those of Spring, 
and a great many combinations are in 
vogue. If preferred the coat can be 
made high at the neck and finished with 
a rolled-over collar. The belt in this 
case is of the trimming material, but 
those of patent leather are greatly in 
vogue and both black and colors are 
worn. The coat is made with fronts 
and back, consequently there are only 
shoulder and under-arm seams. It is 
6608 Princesse Slip, 34 to 44 bust. 
closed at the left of the front and when 
the collar is used it is joined to the neck 
edge. The full sleeves are in one piece 
each, gathered into bands to which the 
cuffs are joined, but the long plain 
sleeves are made with upper and under 
portions. The quantity of material re¬ 
quired for the medium size (16 years) 
is 3% yards of material 27, 2% yards 44 
or 2 V 2 yards 52 inches wide. % yard 
27 inches wide for the trimming. The 
pattern 6636 is cut in sizes for girls of 
14, 16 and 18 years of age; price 10 
cents. 
The princess slip is very convenient 
for wear with a one-piece dress. The 
slip is made with front, side-fronts, backs 
and side-backs. The long seams render 
fit a simple matter, and there is a dart 
in each side-front portion at the waist¬ 
line, which means perfect smoothness. 
The flounce is straight and gathered, 
and can be trimmed on the lines indi¬ 
cated or as liked. The sleeves are in 
two pieces each and can be cut in any 
desired length. The quantity of ma¬ 
terial required for the medium size is 
sy 2 yards 24 or 27, 7% yards 32 or .3% 
yards 44 inches wide for the plain slip; 
2Y 2 yards 24, 2 yards 27, 1% yard 32 
or l!4 yard 44 inches wide for the 
flounce with 4 1 / £ yards of embroidery, 
14% yards _of insertion, 3% yards of 
narrow edging to make as illustrated. 
The pattern 6608 is cut in sizes for a 
34, 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44-inch bust meas¬ 
ure; price 10 cents. 
Samp. 
I have seen a number of queries of 
late in The R. N.-Y. concerning samp 
and hominy. Dr. Trail, in one of his 
books, says: “Samp is made by boil¬ 
ing the broken grains until soft; homi¬ 
ny is a preparation of the grain be¬ 
tween samp and meal.” From the Hy¬ 
dropathic Cook Book I quote as fol¬ 
lows : “Hominy is generally in this 
market prepared from the Southern or 
white corn, which is cut into coarser or 
finer particles of nearly uniform size. 
It is cooked like the vvheaten grits, and 
usually requires to be boiled one hour. 
The fine grained hominy can be well 
cooked in half an hour by boiling a 
few minutes and then steaming it with¬ 
out stirring over as hot a fire as can 
be borne without scorching. All hom¬ 
iny requires soaking before cooking. 
Two quarts of water are required for 
one of hominy. Samp is merely n 
coarse hominy, the grains of corn being 
cut or broken into very coarse par¬ 
ticles. It should be washed several 
times, and the water poured through 
a sieve to separate the hulls; and it 
requires boiling five or six hours.” 
In the Hygeian Home Cook Book I 
read the following: “Hominy is very 
coarse corn grits, the grains of corn be¬ 
ing broken into coarse pieces. It should 
be washed several times, soaked over 
night, then boiled in the same water 
four or five hours. Raisins give this 
dish a very rich flavor.” 
The yellow corn is liked best in New 
England, and I think the white variety 
is liked best in the Southern States. 
In my section years ago samp was pre¬ 
pared by washing the hulls and fine 
particles out of common cracked corn 
and then cooking the coarser particles 
as above described. Small mills run 
at high speed sometimes heat the grain 
in grinding, and so injure it. Corn- 
meal is liable to heat if kept long dur¬ 
ing hot weather unless the corn has 
been kiln-dried. Fresh ground sound 
corn is a wholesome and nutritious 
food, but meal which is musty or heated 
is very unwholesome as food for either 
man or beast; some believe it a cause 
of pellagra, as well as other diseases. 
Corn can be cracked or ground into 
samp, hominy or meal in any of the 
numerous hand mills on the market. If 
people would eat more hominy and 
similar food there would be little need 
of complaint about the high cost of liv¬ 
ing. PERC1E . E. LEE.
