Warm coats are quite essential dur
ing these months of changeable
weather. and one which is at once ex-
tremely stylish and easy to fashion is
here sketched for the benefit of the
home sewer. 1t frequently happens
that a coat of mothers or an elder
sisters contains excellent material
which could be made over into nice
coat for the little girl. The pattern
illustrated is one which would cut to
advantage with such material, for the
back has a seam in the center and no
section is so large that it could not be
cut from an adults garment with a
little care and ingenuity. The front
closes in single-breasted fashion, and
both front and back are adorned with
inserted sections on the shoulders,
these being made of the same material
as the collar and cuffs. The sleeve Is
of novel shaping and very attractive.
Cloth or silk may be used for making
the coat, the 9-year size requiring two
and three-eighths yards of material
forty-four inches wide.
4332-Seven sizes, 6 to IL years. The
price of this pattern is 10 cents.

Washington.-The interstate com

firming the proposed increase of
freight rates. If the rates made by
the railways are made the subject of
complaint to the commission that
body, of course, would investigate
them. On it's own initiative the COM
mission probably would institute an
inquiry into any general increase to
ascertain whether the rates are rea-
