The Rural Patterns. 
The tourist coat fills many needs and 
has come to be a general favorite for 
various occasions other than motoring. 
No. 4857 shows the latest cut and is well 
adapted to the costume and to the gen¬ 
eral wrap. As illustrated the material 
is brown cheviot stitched with silk, and 
the sleeves are in “leg o’ mutton” style, 
but all cloaking materials are appropri¬ 
ate, and, when liked, the full sleeves 
shown in the back view can be used. 
The coat is made with fronts, backs, side- 
backs and under-arm gores, and is fin- 
4857 Tourist Coat, 32 to 42 bust. 
ished with a flat collar that is cut in 
points. The “leg o’ mutton” sleeves are 
full at the shoulders, plain at the wrists 
when they are finished with roll-over 
cuffs, but the full sleeves are gathered 
into bands at the wrists, the cuffs rolling 
over and concealing them. Pockets are 
inserted in the fronts and finished with 
stitched laps. The quantity of material 
required for the medium size is 4 yards 
44 or 3 H yards 52 inches wide. The 
pattern 4857 is cut in sizes for a 32, 34, 
36, 38, 40 and 42-inch bust measure; price 
10 cents. 
Russian dresses arc always attractiye 
worn by little girls and possess a certain 
smartness of their own. No. 4938 is em- 
terial required for the medium size (8 
years) is 3% yards 27, 3% yards 32 or 
2 -y& yards 44 inches wide. The pattern 
4938 is cut in sizes for girls of 4, 6, 8 
and 10 years of age; price 10 cents. 
Children’s Shoes. 
That many people suffer with corns is 
due in great measure to improper shoe¬ 
ing in childhood. It seems strange that 
parents will let a foolish pride stand in 
the way of their children’s welfare, but 
it is a fact that some intelligent people 
put shoes that are much too small on 
their children, because they like to see 
them have small feet. We all like to 
see well-proportioned feet that are not 
too large, but pinching the feet with 
small shoes in childhood will not neces¬ 
sarily bring about this result. I know 
a woman who made her daughter wear 
shoes a size too large for her all through 
the growing period. Has the daughter 
large feet as a consequence ? On the con¬ 
trary, although taller than the average 
woman, she has very small feet, wearing 
a 2 l A shoe. Moreover, she has no corns. 
It stands to reason that if the foot has a 
chance it will develop naturally, and will 
not be larger than is needed for the 
weight of the body. On the other hand, 
if tight shoes are worn, corns and en¬ 
larged joints will probably follow, ne¬ 
cessitating large and homely-shaped 
shoes in after years. There is a popular 
fallacy among some people—mostly wo¬ 
men—that too large shoes are just as 
likely to make corns a$ too small ones. 
Probably none of them ever tried it, 
and it is simply a theory. I know a 
man who was troubled with corns who 
cured them all by wearing shoes a size 
too large for a year. 
To return to children's shoes: Given 
the proper size, the shape may be all 
wrong; they may be wide enough, but 
too short, or vice versa. The shape is 
very important. Too short ones will 
double the toes under at the ends, while 
too narrow ones will crowd the toes 
together, and may cause one or more to 
ride over the others. The child’s foot 
is naturally small—almost pointed—at 
the heel, and broadens out each way to 
the toes, which are of nearly equal 
length. Many children’s shoes are - very 
far from this shape, but once in a while 
one can find a make that is right. For 
an active child who walks about, indoors 
and out, a great deal, the soles need to 
be quite thick, and it is a good plan to 
have thin spring heels. The very best 
quality of sole leather should be used, 
and if the uppers are kept well blacked, 
the shoes will then last a long time. 
Shoes like this look clumsy, but if, when 
the child’s shoes and stockings are taken 
off, the feet are seen to be in their 
natural shape and without any of the 
red spots that show there has been 
pressure, one can easily put up with the 
clumsy appearance, knowing that it is 
for the child’s good, now, and in the 
future as well. susan brown robbins.

inently simple and is adapted to a variety 
of materials. As illustrated it is made of 
blue linen with banding of embroidery, 
but is adapted to all simple childish ma¬ 
terials, wool as well as cotton and linen. 
The dress consists of fronts and back and 
is fitted by means of shoulder and under¬ 
arm seams. The fullness at the waist 
line can be arranged in gathers or left 
free, confined by the belt only, as may 
be preferred. The sleeves are wide, full 
at both shoulders and wrists and finished 
with straight cuffs. The quantity of ma¬
