A Sunday Suit aud a Bonnet. 
It is always a comfort when overcoats 
and suits for at least half the family can 
be brought out in the Fall fit for another 
season’s wear. With that in mind we often 
purchase such garments after the holidays 
with a look ahead, choosing such styles 
as will not too soon grow antiquated. 
But a growing child must often have a 
B499 Dressing Sacque in Jumpet Style, 
Small, Medium, Large 
new outfit each season, and this Fall saw 
Pet in need of Sunday garments. We 
bought a handsome gray serge at $1.50 a 
yard, and made a plain kilted skirt to 
which is attached the waist, a sort of 
skeleton affair somewhat in the “jumper” 
style, and showing an underblouse and 
full sleeves of white India silk. Instead 
of following our first intention and buy¬ 
ing a narrow gimp to edge the waist 
the girls used embroidery silks, pale pink 
and blue, and worked a line of half-inch 
stars, letting the two colors alternate. The 
effect on the gray serge is good, and 
enough “boughten” gimp to edge sus¬ 
penders, belt, sleeves and neck would have 
added materially to the expense. The 
coat is loose, half long and double-breast¬ 
ed, with velvet collar and buttons. With 
an interlining on which is stitched a layer 
of wadding across chest, shoulders and 
uoner parts of sleeve, we find such a gar¬ 
ment even warmer than one of ordinary 
cloaking cloth. It has various other ad-

vantages, one sure to be appreciated when 
making-over time comes around. Had 
Pet attended a city Sunday school we 
should have made the suit of white serge 
and counted upon having it dyed red for 
a school dress later on. We were careful 
to have the coat show a tailored finish 
as nearly as possible, examining a ready¬ 
made coat to see how the silk lining was 
fitted and the machine stitching applied. 
To avoid sagging, outside and lining were 
hemmed separately about the bottom. 
The hat to go with this suit is of grav 
velvet, the brim underfaced with gray 
■chiffon, and showing gathered frills of 
\ > 
the gray chiffon about the edge, coming 
out beyond the velvet. The crown is a 
small Tam o’ Shanter with a close twist 
of the velvet where it joins the brim and 
a large ribbon bow at the left front. 
“See! doesn’t he look as if he came 
over in the steerage?” So said my neigh¬ 
bor as she exhibited her six-months-old 
baby in his new Winter bonnet. It was 
a beautifully made bonnet of silk, warmly 
lined and with a full close frilling of the 
silk about the edge. But it was atrocious¬ 
ly pink. Mr. Baby is no beauty, but lusty, 
red-cheeked and blue-eyed, and that deep 
rose-pink did give him a bourgeois ap¬ 
pearance suggestive of the first dollars 
earned. “His doting auntie made it and 
sent it to him, and I must write her that 
he wears it for his very bcstest, but isn't 
it dreadful!” and my neighbor sighed in 
comic resignation. 
Two days later I met them on a trolley 
car, and Master Baby was looking his 
very best in white cloak and an exceed¬ 
ingly becoming bonnet. 
“What, another new bonnet for the ex¬ 
travagant young man?” I remarked. 
“It’s the pink terror under eclipse,” 
confided his satisfied mamma, and sure 
enough a closer look and one saw that 
beneath the white lace was that same 
warm little bonnet. Plis mother had made 
it a covering of some Valenciennes inser¬ 
tion and edging, and a small piece of all- 
over lace, and the effect was so good that 
I questioned in my mind whether that "./as 
not the very best way to make a baby’s 
warm Winter head covering. Such arti¬ 
cles are sure to muss and become soiled, 
and the lace cover could be taken off and 
washed when necessary. Ironed without 
starch it would be good hs new, and if 
well made might see service as a Summer 
bonnet, for when the warm under-bonnet 
was removed it might still prove a good 
fit, though baby’s head was a half year 
larger. R. ithamar. 
The Rural Patterns, 
Dressing sacques made in what is 
known as jumper style, that can be slipped 
on over the head without an opening are 
greatly in demand just now and have the 
great merit of simplicity. In the illus¬ 
tration it is made of ring dotted lawn, fin¬ 
ished with a little frill of embroidery and 
a band of beading, but while the beading 
or a facing in which ribbon can be in¬ 
serted is essential, the finish can be any¬ 
thing that may be liked. The dressing 
sacque is made with front, back and 
sleeves. The sleeves are joined to the 
front and back, after which the under-arm 
seams are closed. The ribbon inserted 
in the beading or casing regulates the 
size at the neck. The quantity of ma¬ 
terial required for the medium size is 
3% yards 27, 2^4 yards 36 or 2 yards _ 44 
inches wide with 2 yards each for edging 
and beading. The pattern 5499 is cut in 
three sizes, small, medium and large, cor¬ 
responding to 32, 36 and 40-inch bust 
measure; price 10 cents. 
The. night-gown that is made with a 
slightly open neck is by far the most 
comfortable and sensible one. Here is an 
exceedingly attractive yet simple model 
that includes that feature and that allows 
a choice of three-quarter or long sleeves. 
The gown is made with a shallow square 
yoke and the front and back portions. 
These last can be either tucked or gath¬ 
ered at their upper edges, and the clos¬ 
ing is made at the left of the front. The 
sleeves are comfortably full, finished with 
bands. The quantity of material required 
for the medium size is 6j4 yards 36 
inches wide with 2 yards of insertion 2 
inches wide, 2 yards of wide and 1 yard 
of narrow embroidery for frills. The 
pattern 5467 is cut in sizes for a 32, 34, 
36, 38, 40 and 42-inch bust measure; price 
10 cents.

City Water Service in your Farm Home 
A satisfactory water supply makes life on the farm worth living. It is now possible to have a 
supply equal to that offered by a city water works system. You may have plenty of water deliv¬ 
ered under strong pressure to your bath room, kitchen, laundry, barn—anywhere. This service 
is yours if you install The Kewarvee Water System. 
Here’s how it works: A Kewanee air-tight, steel tank is placed in the cellar or underground. 
Water is pumped into this tank from well, cistern, stream or lake. The air in the tank has no 
escape and is compressed by the water. This air pressure forces the water to the faucets and 
hydrants. No attic tank to leak and flood the house; no elevated tank to freeze, flow over or 
collapse. 
The above illustration shows home of Mr. H. I. Spafford of North Bennington, Vt. who writes: 
“ Your Kewanee Outfit does all you claim for it and more too. 
It furnishes plenty of water dor bath room, lawn, kitchen and 
fire protection. It is perfectly satisfactory.” 
Over five thousand Kewanee Outfits now in successful operation. Every outfit guaran¬ 
teed to give perfect service. Write for catalog No. 47which explains everything and tells where 
outfits may be found in your state. It’s free if you mention this paper.
