The Rural Patterns. 
An Empire coat forms a very pretty 
model for a little j?irl. As shown, the 
coat consists of the fronts and the hack, 
the front and hack body portions and the 
circular portions of the skirt. The body 
portions arc stitched over on to the fronts 
and backs and the circular skirt portions 
5542 Girl's Empire Coat, 0 to 12 years. 
are joined thereto, there being the effect 
of a wide box-plait' at the center front 
and a narrower one at the center back. 
The turn-over collar finishes the neck and 
the full sleeves arc finished with hands 
and turn-over cuffs at the wrists. The 
quantity of material required for the 
medium size (10 years) is 6J V\ yards 27, 
8^4 yards 44 or 3 yards 52 inches wide 
with yard of velvet to trim .as illus¬ 
trated. The pattern 5542 is cut in sizes 
for girls of 6, 8, 10 and 12 years of age; 
price 10 cents. 
The hoy’s pajamas consist of the coat 
and the trousers. The coat is perfectly 
loose with only shoulder and under-arm 
seams and is finished with a roll-over 
collar, while its sleeves are in coat style 
5530 Boy s Pajamas, (5 to 14 years. 
and there is a patch pocket on the left 
front. The trousers are the regulation 
sort drawn up by means of tapes in¬ 
serted in a casing at the upper edge. 
I he quantity of material required for 
the medium size (10 years) is 5 yards 
27 or 3^4 yards 36 inches wide. The 
pattern 5530 is cut in sizes for hoys of 
6. 8, 10, 12 and 14 years of age; price 
10 cents. 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
HOW MUCH FOR CLOTHES? 
From Massachusetts. 
It is rather a difficult question to set¬ 
tle, for what one woman would deem 
sufficient another would not, and then 
the cost would vary according to the abil¬ 
ity of the woman, whether she was able 
to make her own dresses, or would be 
obliged to hire them made. In the follow¬ 
ing itemized account, T have given fig¬ 
ures that would purchase a good quality 
of goods in this locality, Boston, and I 
have assumed the woman was wholly des¬ 
titute, so have started from the very be¬ 
ginning. Many of the articles mentioned 
would outlast one year, and be service¬ 
able for another year, as the coats, 
dresses, nightdresses, and the money 
spent for them the first year, could be 
used for furs, raincoat, or dressmaking 
if desired the next year. In the course 
of three years the average cost would be 
reduced to about $65, including dress¬ 
making : 
Six pairs stockings. $1.50 
Two pairs hoots, $2 and $3. 5.00 
One pair Oxfords..... 2.00

ANNE I.. HATCH. 
I must say that after a very careful in¬ 
vestigation I find no woman can dress 
neat and comfortable on $65 a year (un¬ 
less clothing is very much cheaper in 
Boston than elsewhere). I will give you 
the cheapest estimate that T think any 
woman could possibly clothe herself on 
for one year and appear respectable: 
One stilt for nice wear. $18.00 
One tailor-made suit. 10.00 
One walking skirt. 4.00 
Three Summer shirtwaists. 3.25 
Two Winter shirtwaists. 3.00 
One Winter coat. 10.00 
Jacket for Fall and Spring wear.... 7.00 
Fur neck-piece . 4.00 
Summer dress hat. 3.50 
Winter dress hat. 4.00 
Summer street hat. 1.26 
Winter street hat. 1.50 
(line pair Winter gloves. .40 
One pair kid gloves. 1.25 
One pair Summer gloves. .50 
Two corsets . 2.00 
Three pairs Winter stockings. .75 
Four pairs Summer stockings. .60 
One flannel petticoat. 1.25 
One black petticoat. 1.25 
Two white skirts. 2.50 
Two heavy vests. 1.00 
Three Summer vests. .45 
Muslin underwear . 2.00 
Two pairs rubbers. 1.10 
One pair Oxford ties. 1.50 
Three pairs shoes. 0.00 
One pair leggings. 1.00 
Two belts . 1.00 
Collnrs . 2.00 
Veil . 1.00 
$07.05 
This is the lowest estimate I can give 
for the articles actually required for a 
woman’s wear for one year, and then 
there would be a little more money need¬ 
ed for pins, hairpins, combs, a few yards 
of ribbon, etc. This estimate is for dur¬ 
able clothing that will wear for one 
year; there are cheaper grades to be had. 
but it would not be advisable to invest 
money in any cheaper grades. 
JULIA E. MERICLE. 
If the dealers would only be 
fair to you and me, you would 
have less lamp troubles and I 
would make more chimneys. 
If a Macbeth lamp-chimney 
was sold every time one is 
asked for, I would make all 
the .lamp-chimneys instead of 
half of them. 
The Index explains how to get a Macbeth 
chimney to fit every lamp, and how to care 
for lamps. Sent free to everyone asking for it.

Paint Buying 
Made Safe 
White Lead and Linseed 
Oil need no argument, no 
advertising to maintain 
themselves as the best and 
most economical paint yet 
known to man. The diffi¬ 
culty has been for the buyer 
to be always sure of the 
purity of the white lead and 
oil. 
This trade mark on the 
side of a keg means strictly 
Pure White Lead manu¬ 
factured by the Old Dutch 
Process. 
It is the hall mark for 
quality and purity. 
This trade mark is for 
your protection as well as 
our own. Since (with the 
exception of one State) it 
is no crime in law to brand 
as “Pure White Lead” a 
keg of anything that looks 
like white lead, we have 
registered the trade mark 
of the Dutch Boy Painter to be the same final proof 
of quality, genuineness and purity to paint buyers 
everywhere as the sterling mark is to silver buyers. 
The care and knowledge heretofore necessary to be 
sure of securing Pure White Lead is now simplified 
down into A-no wing this boy.
