The Rural Patterns. 
The jacket suit shown is a pretty and 
girlish model, and will be equally useful 
for woolen materials in Spring, or linen 
and heavy cotton fabrics in Summer. The 
suit consists of the coat and skirt. The 
coat is made with the fronts and back 
that are fitted by means of shoulder and 
under-arm seams and is finished with a 
flat collar and is closed by means of but-

The nightgown illustrated may be made 
very simply, or more elaborately; it is a 
very useful model. The gown is made 
with the yoke and the full portions which

chief requisites of all good government,

Frozen Bedspreads. 
Mrs. Spraker had started on, but now 
she turned back suddenly. “What’s that 
you said?” she asked sharply. 
“I said I was going to do a big wash¬ 
ing and that there is a white spread to 
wash,” I answered. 
“Don’t you do it,” she said earnestly. 
“Don’t you ever wash a white spread on 
a freezing cold day like this. It will 
freeze up solid, and if anything hits it 
or the wind blows, it will go all to pieces 
just like so much glass. And another 
thing, you know that some spreads are 
woven with large threads going one way 
and very fine ones the other. Well, when 
you do wash them, you want to be sure 
to hang them out with the large threads 
going across the line and not parallel with 
it. But you mind what I say and don’t 
you wash that spread till it comes a warm 
day.” 
“But it is dirty,” I objected. 
“Never mind if it is; a dirty one is 
better than no spread. If you don’t be¬ 
lieve what I say I will give you a little 
piece of an old one and you can try it, 
and then if you want to risk your nice 
one and sec it go all to slits before your 
eyes, whv, go ahead.” 
I laughed. “I’ll take your word for it,” 
I said. You have had more experience 
than I have, and I guess you know what 
you are talking about.” 
“I. guess I do, too,” she said grimly, and 
turning away, walked down the street.
