Something About Our Patterns.

The paper patterns with which we furnish

printed in these columns are the very
best obtainable. They are the en-
bodiment of simplicity, grace and style,
and any garment made from them
cannot fail to be very effective. The de-
signs are new each week and are as thor
oughly up-to-date and seasonsble as it is
possible to get them. No woman need feel
afraid to use these patterns on the score of
their costing her so little money, for no
matter wha. she expended in the hope of
getting better they could not be surpassed
from any source, either domestic CT for
eign. Tie modes are cut by an expert whose
success in this line of work has been phe-
nomenal, obtaining for the patterns reputs-
ton which has extended 10 all quarters of
the globe, and hiss stood he test of the
keenest competition. We simply offer for
ten cents what is worth in the regular
way of business three or four times that
price, as an inducement which will be Of
material benefit to our readers.
