Paris Pattern No. 2461, All Seams
Allowed.-For a linen coat to be used
either as a separate garment, or as
part of an entire costume, this is a
particularly suitable model for late
summer and early autumn. The mar

er than on the coats of former sea-
sons. The full-length sleeves are
tucked to cuff depth. The back is
made with center seam and two side
back seams, giving long and graceful
lines to the figure. The front fastens
with three large pearl buttons, and
three simulated pockets in graduated
sizes, ornament either side of the
front. The pattern is in seven sizes

Female Readers viii Say He Took
Advantage of Trusting Wife.

There had been long-standing diff
ference of opinion in the Plunkett
family concerning the dining table,
Mrs. Plunkett maintained that its
legs were too short and ought to be
heightened at least half an inch.
1T doesn't fit our chairs, Jared, and
you know It," she continued. When
we sit down to this table we're too
high above it. You could have pieces
of wood glued on the ends of the legs,
That would be easier than to saw OF
the ends of all the chair legs"
II don't agree with your proposition
at ALL Cordelia," said Mr.. Plunkett. II
think the table is just right. But I'm
willing to compromise the matter.
You have been wanting a hardwood
floor in this dining room for long
time, haven't you?"
Yes"
well, we can have that new kind
OF hardwood flooring that is laid o1
top of the old floor That will raise
the entire surface three-eighths of an
inch or more, and that will raise the
table, OF course, just so much. How
will that do?"
This seemed to be a fair proposition.

The first skirts made at his estab-
