The Rural Patterns. 
The plain, mannish shirtwaist is one 
of the smartest of the season. This 
one can be made with or without the 
4.4 or 224 yards 52 inches wide. The 
pattern 6108 is exit in sizes for a 22, 
24, 26, 28 and 30 inch waist measure; 
price 10 cents. 
yoke at the back and allows a choice 
of regulation sleeves with over-laps or 
of those that are made with short 
openings only, the edges of which are 
hemmed. In the illustration striped 
madras is the material shown, but linen, 
flannel, silk and the inexpensive printed 
wash fabrics, indeed, all the waisting 
materials are appropriate. The waist

is made with the fronts and back and 
when the yoke is used it is applied 
over the back. There is a pocket on 
the left front and the edge of the 
right is finished with a wide box plait. 
The sleeves are perfectly plain, in shirt 
style, without gathers at the shoulders, 
and are finished with straight cuffs. 
The quantity of material required for 
the medium size is 3^4 yards 21 or 24, 
3 yards 32, 2% yards 44 inches wide. 
The pattern 6194 is cut in sizes for a 
32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42 inch bust 
measure; price 10 cents. 
The circular skirt that is closed at 
the front with buttons and button¬ 
holes is still very popular. This one 
can be made either in walking or in 
round length and is so cut as to be 
perfectly smooth over the hips and is 
finished at the back in habit style. In 
this case buttonholes are worked on 
Mrs. Spraker Talks. 
I felt Mrs. Spraker’s keen eyes upon 
jne as I folded her tablecloth. I had 
been taking dinner with her and was 
helping clear away. 
“Some company has to be watched,” 
she remarked, “but I see you are not 
that kind.” 
“I hope you didn’t think I’d steal the 
spoons!” I exclaimed. 
“Xo,” she answered, “but you might 
do what would make me feel most as 
bad—fold up the tablecloth wrong.” 
“Oh,” I said, a little blankly. 
“Yes," she went on, “it’s funny what 
things trouble some folks. I have a 
friend that is terribly distressed if all 
my chairs don't set just so straight, 
and then she’ll go to work and fold my 
tablecloth different from what I did, 
and maybe sort of roll it together any¬ 
how and get it all full of wrinkles.” 
"Oh,’’ I said, “it is the new wrinkles 
that trouble you.” 
"Of course. You fold a tablecloth 
wrong and it spoils the looks of it till 
you wash and iron it again. It makes 
it look as if it had been used a week 
longer than it has. So, as I say, some 
folks will bear watching, and when I 
have that kind here I plan it so I fold 
my tablecloth myself—unless I can 
bring myself to tell ’em about it.” 
"I shouldn't think there would be 
any trouble about that,” I remarked, 
with perhaps a little malice. 
“Another thing I have to plan about 
with some folks,” she went on calmly, 
“is to get ’em to wipe the silver as 
soon as I wash it and before it gets all 
dried in streaks.” 
I put down the cun I was wiping as 
if it had burned me and caught up a 
handful of folks and spoons. Mrs. 
Spraker smiled. 
“There is something else folks don’t 
show much gumption about,” she went 
on, changing the subject to relieve my 
embarrassment, “and that is hanging 
out bedspreads. They’ll hang ’em over 
the line and pull ’em tight and pin ’em 
so. Then when the spread is dry there 
is a wrinkle right through the middle 
and it is pulled all out of shape.” 
"How is the right way?” I asked, as 
she paused. 
“Pin by the corners. Have the hem go 
the length of the line, fold the spread 
so the hems come together, then pin 
the corners to the line, not pulling too 
tight, and put in two or three pins be¬ 
tween the corner ones. In this way the 
fold doesn’t show when the spread is 
dry, and it will be in good shape.” 
"I should think it would save the 
corners from fraying when the wind 
blows, too,” I said. 
“It does.” Mrs. Spraker gave me a.i 
approving glance. “That’s why I al¬ 
ways hang my sheets and tablecloths 
that way. Besides, on a tablecloth it 
saves wear, for they most always give 
out along the middle fold, and if that 
comes on the clothes line it is safe to 
wear more.” 
By this time the dishes were done 
and our conversation had come back to 
nearly the same place it started from.

Scott’s Emulsion 
Walking Length, 22 to 30 waist., 
the right front edge for its entire 
length and the skirt is closed by means 
of these buttonholes and buttons, but, 
if preferred, the hems can be stitched 
to position to the depth of a placket 
and buttons and buttonholes used 
above, or the closing can be made 
invisibly. In such case the trimming 
can be simulated buttonholes or braid 
or anything that may be preferred. 
T he skirt is made in two pieces. It 
is fitted by means of darts over the 
hips and the front edges are finished 
with hems. The quantity of material 
required for the medium size is o l / 2 
yards of material 24 or 27. 3J4 yards

Here’s a Heater which heats, not only be¬ 
cause it does not allow generated heat to go up 
the chimney, but it consumes that greater ele¬ 
ment of waste in the shapeof combustible gases 
which escape unused in all other base heating 
stoves. Such matter is equal to more than 
half the value of some kinds of fuel, too—a 
subject for thought. 
Recognizing this immense waste, a hot air 
blast in the 
burns every bit of combustible matter as soon 
as it escapes from your fire. But best of all, 
our stove burns anything and the Sterling 
“All Fuel” Heater is the only 
base heater in the world that 
heats equally well with three 
distinct kinds of fuel, either 
wood, hard or soft coal, which¬ 
ever you prefer. 
If you would know more of 
this great blessing in Heater 
construction, we ask that you 
write for our folder, showing 
why the Sterling “All Fuel ” 
Heater is the most economical 
Heater it is possible for you to 
purchase.
