The Rural Patterns. 
When ordering patterns always give num¬ 
ber of pattern and measurement desired. 
Combination under garments are greatly 
in demand when snug fit over the hips is 
desired. This one is practical and dainty, 
means three garments in one, yet is easily 
made and involves no intricacies. The 
drawers and petticoat are cut in one and 
the lower edges can be straight or shaped 
as preferred. The corset cover is one of 
the simple ones with only shoulder and 
under-arm seams, the size at the neck edge 
being regulated by beading. The garment 
consists of the corset cover and the draw¬ 
ers with petticoat. The corset cover is 
made with fronts and back and is finished 
6745 Three-Piece Combination, 
34 to 44 bust. 
with hems at the front edges. The draw¬ 
ers and petticoat portions are joined, the 
petticoat over-lapping the drawers at the 
back to give the effect shown in the front 
view. The quantity of material required 
for the medium size is 3^4 yards 36, 2% 
yards 44 inches wide, 3% yards of em¬ 
broidery for the frill, 3 yards of beading.

human face is the contentment of a lov¬ 
ing soul.—Beecher. 
Hop Yeast. 
Could you give me a recipe for making 
hop yeast, taking the hops from the time 
they are picked and dried until they are 
made into yeast? I have a very tall bush 
that is heavily laden with hops, but I do 
not understand the process. 
MRS. W. n. 
Gather and dry the hops, storing them 
in a closed paper bag in a dry place. 
The yeast calls for four medium-sized 
potatoes, one-half cup of dry hops, one 
quart boiling water, one-half cup of 
sugar, one cup of flour, two level table¬ 
spoonfuls salt, and one compressed 
yeast cake. Roil the potatoes, drain off 
the water, and mash potatoes until free 
from lumps. Pour the boiling water, 
which may include the water drained 
from the potatoes, over the hops, and 
simmer 15 minutes. Measure into a 
three-quart bowl or crock the flour, 
sugar and salt, and mix them thor¬ 
oughly. Strain the hop water and add 
at once to the dry materials, stirring 
rapidly all the time. Add the mashed 
potato, and give the whole a thorough 
beating. Cool to 70° or 80° F., and add 
one compressed yeast cake or one dry 
yeast cake soaked in one-half cup of 
warm water for half an hour. Keep at 
a temperature of 70° fer three or four 
hours, stirring down as often as it comes 
to the top. Bottle and keep in a cool 
place. Do not cork tightly at first. One 
cup of this yeast is equal to one com¬ 
pressed or one dry yeast cake. 
The Summer Boarder Again. 
This time it is a pleasant tale to tell. 
It was not my intention to take any 
boarders. I am usually too well sup¬ 
plied with people “to board,” to think of 
“taking boarders,” but I am one of those 
women who do things impulsively at 
times, and when I received the request 
for board, I thought I would try. I had 
already four in family and two hired 
men, and all the work that falls to the 
lot of a farmer’s wife who looks for it, 
so doing for two more meant really 
more than I should try to do, just as I 
know is the case when any farmer’s wife 
takes boarders. I decided that my charge 
must not be very high ($5 per week), 
that I might have that as a salve when I 
felt that I was r.ot just up to the mark. 
Secondly, I provided such things as we 
had on the farm, and such as we bought 
for our own family, and I gave those 
two boarders as nearly as possible just 
such meals as we had when they were 
not here, with the addition of a few des¬ 
serts. Then for the time they were here 
I followed this plan; To save the hur¬ 
ried preparation of vegetables, etc., for 
a cooked dinner, I served lunch at noon. 
It was a substantial meal, but not so 
much work required as for the regular 
dinner, which followed, at night. 
Now, I am sure that it would not be 
possible to do in that way on a farm at 
all times, and sometimes it is more pleas¬ 
ant for the housekeeper to have a light 
supper and thereby more time in th£ 
afternoon, but it did not seem so in this 
case. Of course there was extra work, 
but, as I said, mine is a pleasant tale 
and the extra work was not so great as I 
anticipated. These young women saw 
that I was under a strain, and in the 
nicest ways they relieved me and at the 
same time made me feel that I was giv¬ 
ing them the sweetest, most restful vaca¬ 
tion they had ever enjoyed. They dared 
me to enter their room to do any man¬ 
ner of cleaning, saying that they needed 
that amount of exercise to keep them in 
health. They sewed and read and slept 
and ate as if life were a joy. I had 
nothing to offer them but a clean, cool 
room and simple meals, no bath room, 
ice, carriage rides or amusements of any 
kind. Yet these two New York teach¬ 
ers, university graduates, adapted them¬ 
selves to our life as only well-bred peo¬ 
ple can do. I wish such girls were the 
type of the American girl. Then we 
should not need to flinch when we read 
such articles as one of our leading maga¬ 
zines for September printed on its edi¬ 
torial page. 
I have had visitors before who were 
college girls and girls of good standing 
socially, and when they left my home 
and I saw the room they had left—the 
floor littered, scrap paper and torn let¬ 
ters and loose hair on the bureau, in¬ 
variably some of their belongings left be¬ 
hind to be sent, it is no wonder that I 
appreciated my boarders who left their 
room in the neatest possible condition, 
and nowhere in the house books or 
magazines in disorder. I am aware that 
these young women are exceptions, but 
as they board all the year, being or¬ 
phaned, it is a satisfaction to know that 
our work with our daughters may pos¬ 
sibly not fail. It is a rare thing, it seems, 
to find a young girl so unselfish that, 
without ostentation, she seems to do the 
right way in the most pleasant manner, 
but it is an accomplishment which 
eclipses all others. l. s.
