The Rural Patterns. 
Many of the new waists are very elab¬ 
orately draped, No. 4978 being an example 
of prevailing styles. The model is made 
of nut brown voile with the trimming of 
chiffon velvet, chemisette and deep cuffs 
of chiffon-covered taffeta with ecru lace 
insertion applied to form diamonds, but 
all materials that are soft enough to drape 
well are appropriate and the chemisette 
and cuffs can be of any contrasting ma¬ 
terial. The waist is made with the fit¬ 
ted lining, which closes at center front, 
and itself consists of fronts, backs, side- 
4978 Drapod Basque Waist, 
32 to 42 Bust. 
backs and under-arm gores, the backs be¬ 
ing laid over on to the side-backs. The 
chemisette is arranged over the lining and 
closes invisibly, and the waist is closed 
at the left of the front. When liked the 
sleeves can be cut off at the elbow length, 
as shown in the small view. The quan¬ 
tity of material required for the medium 
size is 4 yards 21, 3 /z yards 27 or 1% 
yards 44 inches wide, with lj4 yards of 
silk for chemisette and cuffs and 9 yards 
of lace insertion and 14 yard of bias vel¬ 
vet to trim as illustrated. The pattern 
4978 is cut in sizes for a 32, 34, 36, 38, 
40 and 42-inch bust measure; price 10 
cents. 
The flounce skirt shown in No. 4954 
will be found very desirable for thin wash 
materials, as well as for others, and it 
will combine very well with the draped 
basque waist. The skirt proper is cut in 
five gores, which are shirred and ar¬ 
ranged over a shallow foundation yoke,

22 to 30 waist. 
then joined to the belt. The flounce is 
straight at its lower edge, turned under 
to form a heading, and shirred in suc¬ 
cessive rows then arranged over the low¬ 
er edge of the skirt, which serves as a 
stay. The quantity of material required 
for the medium size is 10 yards 21, 9 
yards 27 or 5J4 yards 44 inches wide. The 
pattern 4954 is cut in sizes for a 22, 24, 
26, 28 and 30-inch waist measure; price 
10 cents. 
hurry. It is better to let the hot water 
do the work, wetting quite a large area 
of the wall, then coming back to the start- 
ing point and going over it again, until 
the paper comes off easily. A putty knife, 
with a large square end, is good to use, or 
a case knife with a flexible blade. Some 
people do not consider it necessary to 
take off the old paper before putting on 
the new, but if coat after coat is put on 
the walls they are eventually made damp 
and unhygienic. Besides, if any of the 
paper is ever to be removed, it is better 
to take it off every time before new is 
put on, as it comes off plaster much 
more easily than off another layer of 
paper. s. b. robbins.

If your boy hates algebra but loves 
birds, snakes and lizards, it will take him 
not more than half as long to get his nat¬ 
ural history lesson as it does to work out 
his problems in algebra. That is because 
he studies snakes with his mind and his 
heart, and studies algebra only with his 
mind, which is a little like a bird trying 
to fly with one wing—a good deal of flut¬ 
ter and not much flight.—Dr. Parkhurst.

Getting Off Wall Paper. 
Once in a while there is a room where 
the paper can be torn off in great strips, 
but usually it “sticketh closer than a 
brother.” It is better to wet it, in such 
cases, than to attempt to get it off dry, 
not only be cause it is easier and quicker, 
but it prevents inhaling a great deal of 
irritating dust. A large paste or white¬ 
wash brush is needed, and a pail partly 
full of hot water. One wetting is not 
sufficient, but the same surface must be 
gone over several times, according to the 
thickness of the paper, and the way it 
sticks. No time is gained by trying to
