The sailor blouse is always a favorite 
for young girls. As shown, the waist is 
made with front and back. The one- 
piece sleeves are tucked at their lower 
edges and finished with straight cuffs 
and are sewed to the armholes before 
the underarm seams are closed. The 
facing over the blouse can be used or 
6129 Misses' Naval Blouse, 
14, 16 and 18 years. 
omitted as liked. The sailor collar fin¬ 
ishes the neck and the separate shield 
is buttoned into place beneath it. The 
quantity of material required for the 
medium size (16 years) is 4 yards 24, 
3*4 yards 32 or 2 y 2 yards 44 inches wide 
with 5J4 yards of braid. The pattern 
6129 is cut in sizes for girls of 14, 16 
and 18 years of age; price 10 cents. 
The Directoire coat, in a variety of 
models, is a favorite for the coming sea¬ 
son. As shown, the back and side-backs 
are all cut in one, but the fronts of the 
body portion are separate from the 
fronts of the skirt and with the under¬ 
arm gores are joined to them at the 
waistline. The fronts also are extended 
to turn back and form the big pointed 
revers, while the high rolled-over collar 
finishes the neck. The sleeves are in 
two pieces each, finished with character¬ 
istic cuffs. The quantity of material re¬ 
quired for the medium size is 5}4 yards 
24, 354 yards 44 or 2% yards 52 inches 
wide, yard of silk or velvet for the 
revers and trimming. The pattern 6125 
is cut in sizes for a 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42 
inch bust measure; price 10 cents. 
Fall Work With the Flowers. 
Despite the prolonged drought the 
pansy seedlings, started in July, have 
made satisfactory growth, and already 
show an abundance of bloom. I like to 
start the pansies in midsummer; they 
are then ready to give a good account 
of themselves in late Autumn, when the 
frosts have cut down nearly everything 
in the garden. If only the weather is 
mild enough to admit of their thawing 
out for a few hours by day, they will 
go on expanding blossoms and forming 
buds long after the ground freezes at 
night. Last Thanksgiving Day I gath¬ 
ered a large number of fine blooms to 
deck our feast from an unprotected bed. 
By placing a frame and sash over the 
plants, I believe I could have prolonged 
the blooming season into February. 
Mixed among the pansies are plants of 
the horned violet or tufted pansy, Viola 
cornuta. Those who have not tried the 
new varieties of this old-fashioned gar¬ 
den posy have missed a treat, for they 
are hardy, fragrant and floriferous. I 
am not very successful with florists’ 
sorts of fragrant violets, and so am glad 
to fall back upon this one. The white 
variety is especially pleasing. Like the 
pansies, they require little care except 
to keep the blooms picked to prevent 
seeding. By and by they may have a 
few leaves raked over them, but strong, 
young plants usually winter safely with¬ 
out any protection except the snow. 
The seed envelopes that were stowed 
away in a pigeon hole of the desk last 
Spring, after being emptied of their 
contents, are once more in frequent use. 
They are assuming such bulky propor¬ 
tions that I shall soon have to find a 
larger receptacle. Some discretion must 
be exercised in saving one’s own seed. 
I would advise those who have had the 
luck to secure a good dwarf strain of 
Sweet Alyssum, which doesn’t sprawl 
all over the beds instead of edging 
them, to spread a paper frequently down 
under the sprays, and shake off as 
much of the seed as possible. The 
chance of securing such a prize soon 
again is extremelv uncertain. On the 
other hand, pansies and Verbenas mix 
and deteriorate to such an extent that 
the seedlings are worthless to one who 
desires really fine blooms. Some seeds, 
as for example, those of the common 
varieties of sweet peas, are so inexpen¬ 
sive that nobody thinks of saving them. 
I happened to be i-- the village store one 
day last Spring when a somewhat mis¬ 
erly woman neighbor was haggling with 
the clerk over the price of a largish 
packet of sweet pea seed, for which she 
was charged the exorbitant sum of 10 
cents. If she knew that the row of 
Countess Spencer in my garden cost 
four times that amount she would surely 
set me down as an extravagant person. 
Tastes differ; I prefer quality to quan¬ 
tity. When those great, crinkled pink 
blooms came out I felt well repaid for 
the money and the barrels of water that 
were poured upon them this dry season. 
I am planning for a few bulbs to plant 
outdoors. It is a heresy, no doubt, but 
I do not care for bulbs in the house. 
The gay blooms and heavy perfume af¬ 
fect me just as do the painted beauties 
of the stage. I like to* look at them 
from a safe distance, but prefer not to 
admit them to the close intimacy of the 
home. I shall try scattering the bulbs 
in small groups along the edges of the 
lawn and among the shrubbery. It is 
easy to avoid these clumps with the 
mower until the foliage ripens. They 
require little other care for a number 
of years. Some of the choicest bulbs 
will be reserved for our plot in “God’s 
Acre.” Our rural cemetery is too far 
distant to admit of frequent visits, and 
I wish to establish plants that will stand 
the severe drought and frost of that 
windswept hillside, and give a succes¬ 
sion of bloom without much tending. 
The list that I have chosen includes: 
Snowdrops, early white tulips, Poet’s 
Narcissus, clove-scented pinks, Mme. 
Plantier rose, followed by one of the 
trailing Wichuraiana hybrids, dwarf, 
hardy white Phlox, hardy white Chry¬ 
santhemums and Michaelmas daisies. If 
anyone can suggest a better selection I 
should be glad to learn what it is.

RUBBERHIDE BOOTS 
For this reason alone it is good economy to buy them 
But there are also many other reasons. They keep your feet dry all the time. That 
means better health, and so more earning power. They are comfortable — a smooth leather 
insole prevents your foot sweating and chafing. 
A heavy ROCK OAK leather outsole takes all the hard wear, protects your feet from 
stones, glass, splinters, and saves you from stone bruises, when this sole is finally 
worn off, which takes long, hard wear, simply have your cobbler tap or resole the 
boots and they are as good as new. 
Bear in mind, too. that the RUBBERHIDE BOOT is absolutely water .tight, made 
so and stays so — will not leak or pull apart. No water can reach your foot. And 
you can walk, dig, or spade with comfort. 
No other boot is or can be made 
like RUBBERHIDE 
Now note this. If with ordinary care they 
do not outwear two pairs of regular rub¬ 
ber boots, we will make good any dijfer- 
ence in wear in money. What fairer 
offer can we make ? 
Ask your dealer for them. If he 
cannot supply you send to us direct.
