CUTTING Flannel.

If you are about to cut garments for
the baby-or for the growing child-from
flannel, do not fail to wash your piece of
flannel in the ordinary way before you
cut into it. Nothing is mora provoking
than to cut a flannel garment according to
the pattern. only to find, after one or two
washings. that it has shrunk until too
small for further use. In cutting the
garments-even after thus treated-always
allow a seam larger than pattern. even
where there is a seam allowance on the
pattern-Woman' Life.

Khaki Suits for Women.

Khaki suits for women are perhaps
more practical than pretty. still they
are gaining favor for mountain wear.
The skirts to these costumes are made
in both the plain and the pleated models
and the coats half-length. semi-fitting.

The skirts are usually trimmed with a
fold. and so far the coats are trimmed
with collar and cuffs of brown panne
velvet.
To my thinking black satin. either plain
or dotted with white. would be smarter
and less warm looking than the velvet.

Postmaster Hichborn, by order from the

to call attention to the practice of some
patrons of rural delivery, of placing loose
coin in their boxes, each time they desire
to dispatch letters, instead of supplying
themselves with postage stamps, in ad-
vance of their needs. This practice i'm
poses undue hardship ON rural carriers in
removing such loose coin from boxes and
delays them on the service OF their routes.
The postmaSters, therefore, urgently re-
quest that patrons of all rural delivery,
provide themselves and keep on hand ID
