II am not particularly vain" said a New
York belle the other day, "but when | leave
the average dressmaker / am a mere abiect
smudge of myself. | know many q woman
will LIT up her voice with me over the way
we are treated by the average d~ressnaker.
We protest family about a Wrinkle around
the shoulder. Well, you see, madam, -FOUR
left shoulder is SO much higher than your
right it is almost impos-.' We flush and
say never mind Then, of course, that
style of sleeve needs a full arm. | should
not have chosen that sleeve for you my
self, and "a person with round shoulders
can't expect her back to set real straight
or, the present style is trying to n person
with a long neck like yours She admits
the general effects of the gown is dummy,
but then you do incline to that build, and
of course it can't be blamed on the dress
maker. If your chest was fuller your dress
would button more even. Ii your hips were
regular the skirt wouldn't sng. You walk
home wondering how YOU can get along
without crutches, and thinking what a bad
job nature made of you anyhow"

You are going to make your cotton gown.
Now, before you do this, says tho Ladies'
Home journal, sec if you cannot have it's
decoration in it's design and use as little
trimming as possible. The quantity of en-
broidery that was at one time considered in
good taste on these gowns is no longer in
vogue. Whatever decoration you may use
have upon the bodice. A guimpo of Irish
lace, ribbon collars and cuffs. fanciful gir-
dies or waistcoats of silk or embroidery of
pique or linen, are all in good Taste; but an
elaborate skirt trimming is undesirable.
Your cotton gown wants to express the
sweetness of simplicity, and it also ought
to tell of its extreme comfort, n something
which IS never limited ut in an overturned
or too deliberately made one. Too much
decoration. like too many words, is quite az
often an evidence, not only of Il lack of
! sense, but of a lack of brain.
