Patches. 
The under-flannels were in a very di¬ 
lapidated condition, and it was a discour¬ 
aging prospect to think of patching them 
by hand. The knees were the worst, hav¬ 
ing great holes. I cut out these holes 
and the thin parts surrounding them, 
leaving a large, square hole, and then 
made a little diagonal cut at each corner, 
not quite as long as the width of a seam. 
4958 Five Gored Under Petticoat, 
22 to 36 waist. 
Finding an old garment suitable for patch¬ 
ing, I laid on the piece I had taken out 
and cut the patch out by it, being care¬ 
ful to make it large enough to allow for 
two seams, the one on the patch and the 
one on the garment. The novice would 
not think of this, but one can see that 
it is necessary. Then I turned the gar¬ 
ment, placed the edges of the patch and 
the cut together, and stitched them, hold¬ 
ing the work so that the patch was un¬ 
der side, and turning the corners as I came 
to them. The result was a patch neatly 
set in, and looking much better stitched

The Rural Patterns. 
The underskirt No. 4958 will be found 
a very desirable pattern. The skirt is cut 
in five gores and can be finished with 
a belt or under facing at the upper edge. 
The flounce when used is applied over it 
on indicated lines, the upper edge being 
concealed by the band. The quantity of 
material required for the medium size is 
4 yards 27, 4 yards 36 inches wide, with 
3?4 yards of embroidery 8 inches wide or 
1 yard 27 or yard 36 inches wide for 
frill. The pattern 4958 is cut in sizes 
for a 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34 and 36-inch 
waist measure; price 10 cents. 
Practical aprons that perfectly protect 
the frock are those most needed by active, 
4911 Baby’s Night-Gown, One Size. 
healthful children. This one is attractive 
and becoming at the same time that it 
serves these ends, and can be made of any 
simple washable material. In the case of 
the model, however, the fabric is Scotch 
gingham, finished with stitched edges. 
The apron is made with a smoothly fitted 
yoke, with front and backs which are 
gathered at their upper edges and at¬ 
tached to the yoke. On the front are ar¬ 
ranged two patch pockets, and a belt 
serves to confine the fullness at the back. 
The sleeves are in bishop style, finished

with straight, narrow cuffs, and a little 
roll-over collar completes the neck. The 
quantity of material required for the 
medium size is 3J4 yards 27 or yards 
36 inches wide. The pattern 4950 is cut 
in sizes for children 2, 4, 6 and 8 years of 
age; price 10 cents. 
The value of an infant's sleeping gar¬ 
ment that will perfectly protect the little 
feet is apparent at a glance. This one 
amply fulfils that requirement and can 
readily and 'easily be slipped on and off, 
as it closes all the way down the front. 
As illustrated the material is white flan¬ 
nel with an embroidered flannel edge and 
silk banding, but there are many others 
equally appropriate. The little garment 
is made with fronts and back, the back 
being longer and folded over onto the 
fronts, then buttoned into place. At the 
neck is a wide collar and the sleeves are 
full, in bishop style, with roll-over cuffs. 
The quantity of material required is 2-)4 
yards 27 or 2 % yards 36 inches wide with 
2 yards of edging to trim as illustrated. 
The pattern 4911 is cut in one size only; 
price 10 cents._ 
Two Styles for Curtains. 
Several readers have asked us for ideas 
in hanging window curtains. We much 
prefer curtains that do not reach to the 
floor; they do not catch so much dust, 
and they are especially in harmony with 
a country house. The two styles of 
drapery shown are reproduced from Good 
Housekeeping. They may be made of 
net, muslin, madras or any suitable ma¬ 
terial. The style showing a short frill 
across the top, with the straight curtain 
below for bedroom use can be made 
from white lawn or swiss edged with 
bands of flowered lawn, the effect being 
very quaint and pleasing. 
The world delights in sunny people. 
The old are hungering for love more than 
for bread. The air of joy is very cheap; 
and if you can help the poor on with a 
garment of praise, it will be better for 
them than blankets.—Henry Drummond. 
It is no man’s business whether he 
has genius or not; work he must, what¬ 
ever he is, but quietly and steadily; and 
the natural results of such work will al¬ 
ways be the things that God meant him 
to do and will be his best.—John Ruskin.
