Miss Gleason adds: "In making out a budget for the cost of the Country
Girl's clothes, I would feel it necessary to consider whether they were
procured in the city at city prices (through mail order houses) or in
the country store. My reason for saying this is that, judging from my
slight experience, country prices are higher than city prices even with
postage attached."

These Western and Southern reports may be supplemented by two that come
from New England. The first of these is made by Miss L. G. Chase, Social
Worker in Providence, Rhode Island, and represents a great deal of
thought and experience. It may be called final for that part of the
country. It is as follows:

_Underwear_--

Winter--3 union suits at 75c. (cotton and wool) $2.25
Summer--3 shirts at 25c. .75
3 pair drawers (made at home) at 25c. .75
Two outing-flannel petticoats, 5 yds. at 11c. .55
Two outside petticoats, 5 yds. at 9c. .45
One ferris-waist 1.00
