WE SEND FREE Our own special new & original STAMPING OUTFIT To any person sending us only four subscribers for six months, at 25 cents each; or we will send this Outfit and the Ladies’ Home Journal one year for only $1.00. Our new, 1887 Outfit was designed expressly for our subscribers only, by Mrs. Knapp, Editor of the Ladies’ Home Journal.

The outfit contains patterns for every branch of needlework and flower painting, and every pattern is the full working size. The several Flannel Skirt patterns are each long enough to stamp a breadth of flannel at once without removing the pattern, and the scallops have the corners turned. The outfit contains (new) a beautiful Spray of Roses wide enough for the end of a Table cover; an entirely new design for Tinsel work; several bouquets, each long enough for the corner of a Table spread, or a Tidy; and the alphabet is large enough for Towels, Napkins, Handkerchiefs, or Hat-bands.

Each outfit is accompanied by directions for doing Stamping by Parker’s new patent method without paint or powder. Address:

CURTIS PUBLISHING CO., Philada., Pa.
