Clothes for Town and Country 
The summer’s almost over. Every week we find we 
have to run up to town. But we won’t close the country 
house for months yet. We’re at the very nicest stage of 
things—where we wake up as the town mouse one morn¬ 
ing, and the country mouse the next. We have two souls; 
and two quite different sets of clothes. Which—alas— 
may be hard on the bank account of even the whitest and 
most aristocratic of mice. 
But not if we do it the Vogue Pattern way. Thank 
heaven nobody makes clothes with seams by the mile 
any more. Take that good-looking coat (No. H 7264); just 
the thing to motor up in. The body of it is cut in two 
pieces, the sleeves in one. Patch pockets are a lazy mode’s 
trick, but most effective. And, if we choose a fabric like 
camel’s hair, we don’t need a lining at all. Pouf! It’s 
nothing to make. . . . And it doesn’t cost much more 
than that either. 
For a civilized town coat, we might slip our tennis-slim 
figure into No. H 7261 with its straight lines finished in 
circular flare, made in a smart wool twill or cordine. Or, 
if our fancies turn toward the popular coat dress rather 
than a coat—well, the pattern’s either. Spin the front 
button for luck!

It’s seldom that the mode presents us with anything 
nicer than the flat-tiered skirt, .^nd how could tiers be 
flatter and trimmer than they are in the little dress No. 
H 7237 with its long sleeve that fits so perfectly and flares so 
jauntily? The coat that goes with it (No. H 7238) has two 
tiers of its own and lines that simply couldn’t be smarter. 
Topped with a little cloche like the one in the sketch, we 
could go anywhere and find a home. 
And as for that evening dress you’re sure to have danced 
your way out of—wouldn’t the soft crepe or satin folds of 
No. H 7253 compensate you for any number of dead and 
gone memories? You’d be simply amazed, too, if you 
knew how easy it is to make, and how that bow adds to 
one’s late-summer joie de vivre. . . . And to find some¬ 
thing that does that, nowadays, without vitally depressing 
the financial thermometer is a triumph all by itself.
