The father himself, in the happy-go-lucky method of most fathers in their financial relations with the women of the family, does not know what the daughter's dress budget for a year ought to be. The following lists of items for a country girl's dress budget are presented here as much for the father's sake as for that of the girls. The lists have been drawn from various sources and they represent the thought of many students of country life conditions and of some country girls themselves. The first list was made by a wide-awake Country Girl in the State of Idaho: LIST OF CLOTHING FOR A YEAR, FOR A GIRL IN HIGH SCHOOL 1 suit for best for 1 year, coat for best 2 years $15.00 1 winter coat 6.00 1 winter hat for best 2.50 1 winter hat for school, a felt knock-about 1.00 1 spring coat or party wrap 6.50 1 summer hat 3.00 1 pair gloves, seldom worn here except on Sundays 1.50 1 pair golf gloves .50 4 pairs shoes 10.00 8 pairs of stockings .80 2 pairs rubbers 1.30 2 suits underclothing, winter 1.80 2 suits underclothing, summer .70 3 underskirts, white 2.25 1 underskirt, knitted .50 1 silk underskirt 1.98 2 pairs corsets 3.00 6 corset covers 1.50 4 waists (not worn much) 3.00 1 worsted skirt 1.98 1 linen skirt .98 2 gingham wash dresses 2.00 1 princess slip 1.00 Miscellaneous, per year of nine months 9.00 ------ $77.79 She adds this note: "Some figures are guessed at, for I make and remake my clothes always. Note that the suit is not necessary. Needless to mention these figures are doubled and even trebled by some thoughtless girls of poor but long-suffering parents. I earn my own money." The following meager list represents, I am sure, the thought of a girl who has been accustomed to the least that could possibly be got along with: DRESS FOR A VILLAGE GIRL GOING TO SCHOOL
