ElA tern 'Tain't ex-
x exactly what I'd
"a picked out my
self, but l suppose this plum color'd
go with dark complicated folks. That
Alice blue they're wearin' now
wouldve suited you better, in my
opinion, you're so sandy. But l guess
this'l not be so bad, after it's made
up. This yellow trimmin' will kill
your complexion, though. Takes lots
o. color to wear yellow.
Remember Mis- Richards Sadie's
yellow dress l made up JUS fore her
pa died? Land sakes, it had to be laid
away for a whole year! The child
was ailin' all winter, and when she
wore it in the spring she looked as il
she'd been buried and dug up. Still,
| mixed in real tasty with some of this
white lace, it mayn't look so on you.
"Is these the buttons They're wear
| in skirts buttoned up on the side, real
plain an close fittin', but you'd better
have tucfs, or flounce round the
! bottom O. yours, cause the new style
don't look good on fat folks. You
want to be slim and not have no hips
to wear what they call a sheath skirt.
This is one l got on. Mis- Beebe said
in church las Sunday she thought it
real becomin' to me. wore it on pur-
pose this mornin so you could see why
1t wouldn't do to cut yours this way.
AS long as person hasn't got styl-
ish figure it appears like the will O.
Providence, and don't seems if there's
any sense in tryin' to rig 'em up to
look different than they're made.
"Well, no, this pattern amt what
you might call real new, but it's the
one cut your black alpaca by year
ago last spring, and you allus said you
was partial to that dress. Oh, if
you're tired of it, l suppose can find
somethin' else, but wish you'd told
me 'forehand, so l wouldn't have to
lose such a sight o. time huntin'
around.
Come over an look at this one. 1t
does seem kind o. odd, but it's in this
months number. sn it's sure To be in
style. The pictures awful pretty, but
she's tall an kind O. thin, so maybe q
chunky person wouldn't look like
much Here's one now, that's umpire,
an hangs sort o. loose from the arm
holes to the ground l got that pat
tern, too. Oh, yes, you'll like it after
you've wore it some.
"I'll cut out on the dinin' room table,
soon's you get it cleared off. Don't
Mr.. Simmons object, havin his break
fast so late? Goodness me, when my
man was Twin he'd JUS take on some
thin awful if breakfast was after 6
o'clock! KEEP me on my feet mornin',
noon an night, waitin' on that man.
Well, he's dead an gone, poor soul, an
! amt complainin' against the ways of
the Almighty.
81 do declare, believe you're
fieshier'n You was last summer, when
made you that sprigged calico you
wore so long! Your waist measure is
all of two inches bigger. 1t do beat all
how some folks keep putin on weight
that others'd give their eyeteeth for
There's Hank Minors wife She's toe
f skinny for any mortal use. You can't
tell whether she's a-goin' or a-comin
/ till you're close up. l made her q
, merino dress last November an put
enough cotton battin' in to stuff a sofy
an then she done nothin' but complain
+ bout how hot twas, as if her bein
such a spindlin' critter was my fault
! "It's too bad you can't afford a silk
Iinin', Mis- Simmons. That resortel
who had Warmers cottage last sum
mer had dress you could hear comm
block away. 1t wasn't much fol
looks, bein' too simple, to my notion
But city folks has SO much to do,
, suppose, they've no time to spend
lookin' at the fashion books, so they
+ don't allus get the newest idees, il
q spite O. the airs some of 'em put on
Mis- Warner said they was rich a:
n time, an wore their best clothes just:
i if twas Sunday all week!
"This is awful hard goods to sew
/ it's so pully. It'll be sure to sag, too
an there amt nothin' you can do tt
+ stop II. NO, you can I change IL now
! it's most cut out-besides I'd lose 1
q whole day.
