The Rural Patterns. 
The corset cover No. 5335 is made with 
fronts and back and allows a choice of 
sleeves or no sleeves. When the sleeves 
are omitted the arms-eye edges are 
finished with beading or embroidery, 
when used they are joined to the 
corset cover, their edges being trimmed 
to match the neck. The back is 
tucked at the center for its entire 
length and the fronts at the waist line 
only, giving the suggestion of a girdle and 
doing away with fullness at that point. 
The quantity of material required for the 
medium size is 1$4 yards 36 inches wide 
with 2)4 yards of insertion, 3*4 yards of 
edging and 3 yards of beading to trim 
as illustrated. The pattern 5335 is cut 
in sizes for a 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42- 
inch bust measure; price 10 cents. 
The kimono is made with the fronts 
and the back and is finished with the big 
and becoming collar over the shoulders 
while the sleeves are made in one piece 
each and cut on pointed outline. The 
quantity of material required for the me¬ 
dium size is 4)4 yards 27, 3)4 yards 36 
or 3 yards 44 inches wide with 4 yards 
of banding. The pattern 5258 is cut in 
sizes for a 32, 34. 36. 38, 40 and 42-inch 
bust measure; price 10 cents. 
Other Spring Sewing. 
While my girls were busy embroider¬ 
ing their thin Summer blouses great was 
the planning as to what they were “going 
to make for Mother.” But when the 
time came for purchasing materials I put 
in a strong plea for a thin all-black waist. 
I think we are all decidedly tired of see¬ 
ing on trolley cars and in public places 
0258 Breakfast Kimono, 32 to 42 butt. 
the stout or scrawny matrons all wearing 
white shirt waists and black skirts. It 
was neat, to be sure, and better than 
bright-colored gowns, but broad shoul¬ 
ders and thick skins gain nothing from 
white, while thin black has always a lady¬ 
like refining effect. Worn with a jacket 
suit a white shirt waist seems particularly 
fresh and suitable, but my last Summer’s 
ones can have their sleeves remodeled for 
home and under-a-coat uses. 
For the black blouse we found some 
rather thin stuff in fancy weave that 
seems all silk and combines well with an 
all-over lace yoke. These heavy laces 
are rather expensive, but instead of hav¬ 
ing the deep lower half of the sleeve all 
lace Pauline contrived to use strips of the 
lace set into the cloth like insertion. The 
effect is good, the sleeve will be cool, yet 
may wear longer than if all lace. The 
lace yoke .was underlaid with black chif¬ 
fon (taken from the trimmings of a hat 
and ironed out) making it less transpar¬ 
ent and giving a softer look. This idea 
Pauline borrowed from the dresses of a 
Canada cousin who visited us last year. 
She had a very dark skin, and even her 
lawn waists had the sleeves and yokes 
made up over white book muslin. She 
said she could wear them longer in their 
climate, and looked more fair for the thin 
lining. But my principal care in the black 
Summer waist was to have something 
cool as possible. At present I shall wear 
it over a high-necked and sleeved slip 
made of black India silk, but later a low 
cut, sleeveless underwaist of black will 
give, I think, a bodice even cooler than 
any white stuff. 
The girls were intending, all last sea¬ 
son, to make for themselves hats worked 
in raffia on a wire frame. Now they 
have learned that the dyed raffia fades 
badly, and if hat making is undertaken 
raffia in the natural color should be used. 
Bessie came home a few days ago all en¬ 
thusiasm over a hat a friend had been 
making. Instead Of raffia she had used 
the thin ribbon binding that comes in 
rolls for finishing inside edges of gowns. 
The black silk was sure to keep its color, 
but a good many rolls had been used, 
and it had taken careful work to knot it 
evenly. Yet the finished hat would have 
commanded a pretty price in a milliner’s 
show case, and if the girls try hat em¬ 
broidery I am not sure but I shall recom¬ 
mend ribbon work instead of raffia. 
A school teacher friend who spent last 
Sunday with us had a new black taffeta 
suit which was so neat and stylish that 
I have been wondering if some of the 
R. N.-Y. girls might not be interested in 
it. The skirt was in princess style, that 
is, it ran up to form a girdle which was 
seamed, boned, and stitched twice about 
the top at the waist, but which hung in 
a pleat below the hips at every one of its 
15 gores. The little jacket reached only 
to the top of the girdle, and had full 
sleeves reaching just below the elbow. 
It was lined with light blue silk foulard, 
and edged with a fancy silk braid show¬ 
ing black, white and light blue, A cuff 
and some two-inch projections suggesting 
a vest were covered with white silk and 
set with a line of very tiny black crochet 
buttons. The body of the coat had some 
up and down pleats stitched in flat. With 
the suit went a soft white blouse, and a 
black hat having one large, long ostrich 
plume, a wreath of blue forget-me-nots, 
and where it turned up in the back, two 
fluffy knots of the pale blue foulard. The 
whole was not elaborate as suits go, 
but there seemed just enough of every¬ 
thing, and we thought it all quite refined 
and attractive. 
And now, lest some one should con¬ 
clude that the Ithamar family is quite 
given over to vanities let me say that 
our Summer wardrobes are all planned 
for and out of mind as much as possible, 
and to-morrow we begin doing over some 
floors on which to use rugs in place of 
carpets. r. ithamar.

Vanoleum 
Oil of Vanilla 
VANOLEUM is pure. 
Fora long time housekeepers have wanted to make the Vanilla 
Extract themselves and not depend on the adulterations which 
may or may not be pure. Vanoleum will stand any analytical 
test for purity, and is the original Mexican Vanilla Oil. 
VANOLEUM is non-alcoholic. 
Alcohol is the basis of every Vanilla Extract and is respon¬ 
sible for considerable waste as a result of evaporation. The 
purity of the alcohol used in extracts has long been a matter 
of question and considerable public comment. 
VANOLEUM is inexpensive. 
Our half ounce bottle when diluted with water makes a half 
pint of extract. Extract costs from 60c. to 95c..but for 
and the name of your grocer, we will mail, postage prepaid, 
this half ounce bottle of Vanoleum. We are confident that 
your first trial will mean many subsequent orders.
