The Rural Patterns. 
When ordering patterns always give 
number of pattern and measurement de¬ 
sired. 
The princess petticoat shown is excel¬ 
lent for wear under one-piece dresses; 
it may be as simple or as elaborate as 
desired. Lawn, nainsook, China silk or 
fine cambric are all suitable for it. 
The petticoat is made with long body 
portion and the flounce. The body por¬ 
tion is cut with a front that is fitted 
by means of darts, backs and side-backs.

Potato Pie. 
Some of the recipes given sound to a 
Pennsylvania Dutchman like hash, and 
may do in New York. Here is probably 
what your correspondent wants—the 
usual confection for the finish of a Qua¬ 
ker quarterly meeting dinner, the pound 
cake of pies. Recipe as furnished by 
Mrs. Emma R. Cornell of Philadelphia: 
Peel and boil best quality white potatoes 
in slightly salted water, as for mashed 
potatoes; pour off all water and pass 
potatoes through a fine colander, using a 
fork, rejecting all lumps that will not go 
through easily; six pounds potato; three 
pounds white sugar; ]0 fresh eggs, beaten 
together into froth; V/ 2 nutmeg, grated 
fine; one quart sweet cream: one-fourth 
pound best dairy butter; beat and stir 
thoroughly. Line tin pie nlates with 
best crust made from good flour, best 
country lard and ice water. Pour nearly 
full of above mixture and bake in mod¬ 
erate oven for about one hour till done. 
Above makes seven pies. This pie is 
good at any time, better just cooled from 
oven, and best when placed in a cool 
and moist cellar for a couple of days. 
Your cooks may have to try several 
times before they get best results.

they would be so attractive in appear¬ 
ance. I he cherries are largely used for 
decorating confectionery, cakes and des¬ 
serts, and brilliant color is a recommen¬ 
dation. They usually retail for 80 cents 
to one dollar a pound. I he rule given 
above, which was supplied by one of our 
readers, does not advise pitting the cher¬ 
ries, but the commercial candied cher¬ 
ries we buy are usually pitted.

The pattern 6569 is cut in sizes for girls

cents. 
The patterns shown in the small pic¬ 
tures include excellent new models. The 
tunic skirt and the tucked one-piece 
bodice are both favorite styles, and the 
Cocoanut Jumbles ; Candied Citron. 
Please pubjish a recipe for cocoanut 
jumbles. 
Can you give a way of putting up citron 
such as you buy in stores in sugar? 
MRS. W. E. A. 
Cocoanut Jumbles.—One-half cup of 
butter, one cup sugar, one teaspoonful 
milk, two eggs, two level teaspoonfuls 
baking powder, one cup of grated cocoa- 
nut, flour to roll out. Cream the butter, 
add the sugar, milk, eggs, beaten lightly, 
then the cocoanut, and lastly two cups 
of flour with the baking powder sifted 
through it; then add more flour to roll 
out. Cut with doughnut cutter, sprinkle 
with sugar, and bake light brown. 
The candied citron peel sold in the 
stores is not the citron melon of our gar¬ 
dens, but the true citron, a fruit belonging 
to the orange family. The citron melon 
may be dried or candied as follows, but 
it does not have the rich flavor of the 
true citron: Cut the melon in four parts, 
pare and remove the seeds, then take 
two quarts of clear water, dissolve a 
piece of alum the size of a hickorynut 
in the water, and let it come to a boil. 
Add the sliced citron melon, and allow it 
to cook until tender enough to pierce 
with a straw. Drain and boil half an 
hour in sugar, a pint of sugar to a pint 
of fruit. Spread on pie plates, set in a 
cool oven or heater, and dry perfectly. 
children’s clothes are especially attrac¬ 
tive. 6704, tucked over-blouse, sizes 32 
to 40 bust. 6646, pointed tunic skirt, 
sizes 22 to 30 waist. 6717, boy’s suit, 
sizes 2, 4 and 6 years. 6713, steamer or 
Ruliman gown, small, medium, large. 
6715, child’s box reefer, sizes 2 to 8 
years. These patterns are all 10 cents 
each. 
Candying Cherries. 
Please give a rule for candying cherries, 
also what they are sold for by the pound. 
A short article I read about two years ago 
stated one woman received one dollar per 
pound. What kind are best for the pur¬ 
pose? We have lots of the large meaty 
yellow ones, medium sweet, and the rich 
red May Dukes that are very sweet, but 
not many this year of the sour kinds. 
MRS. I,. E. 
Get large, sound cherries, and cut off 
the stem to avoid tearing the fruit. Wipe 
with a soft cloth. Weigh the cherries 
and then weigh out an equal amount 
of sugar. Sprinkle a little sugar over 
the cherries and let them stand over 
night. With the rest of the sugar make 
a thick syrup and let that stand over 
night. Tn the morning bring the syrup 
to boiling heat; put the cherries in and 
boil for five minutes. Let them stand 
together for 42 hours, drain off the syrup 
and boil long enough to get rid of the 
juice from the cherries (until as thick 
a syrup as it was at first) and pour over 
the cherries. The next morning drain 
oflf the syrup and boil to candy degree. 
Dip each cherry in this, and put on a 
sieve in a warm place to dry. When 
perfectly dry pack in glass, or in boxes 
with waxed paper between layers. The 
commercial candied cherries are always 
large red ones, as far as our experience 
goes. The yellow ones would be fine in 
flavor, no doubt, but we do not think 
Tested Boston Brown Bread.—Sift 
the meals before measuring. Take one 
pint each of yellow cornmeal and rye 
meal. Or if rye meal is not desired, 
use in place of it one pint of the best 
quality of wheat meal, formerly known 
as Graham flour. Mix the meals, sift 
in through a fine sieve two level tea¬ 
spoonfuls each of salt. and soda, add 
one cupful of dark molasses (use three 
fourths or half a cupful if liked less 
sweet) and two cupfuls of sour milk, or 
buttermilk, if preferred. Add warm 
water if needed, to make a batter that 
will pour. On account of the variable 
acidity in molasses and also in sour 
milk, it is safer to use one level tea¬ 
spoonful of baking-powder, mixing it 
in the meal with the soda. If sweet 
milk is used, take two teaspoonfuls of 
baking-powder and only one teaspoonful 
of soda for the molasses. Grease the 
mold and the cover, half fill with bat¬ 
ter, cover tightly, place it on a trivet 
or perforated pan in a kettle, with water 
to come nearly to the top of the mold. 
Keep it at a steady boil for three hours; 
replenish with boiling water as needed; 
or, if you prefer not to have your kit¬ 
chen filled with steam, set the mold in 
a pan of water in the oven. Cook from 
two to four hours, according to the size 
of your mold. Vary this recipe by add¬ 
ing one cupful of seeded and halved 
raisins; or by first scalding the cornmeal 
till all wet; or by using two cupfuls of 
cooked cornmeal mush in place of the 
dry meal, and use less wetting; or by 
using one cupful each of corn and rye 
meal and entire-wheat flour.
