round openings Ia the bottom OF an lp-

Draw circles about the size OF haii

these circles out with a sharp knife.

If Il happens that your last seasons

length ana you have no pieces left, you

set Straight material will not take the
graceful folds that mark the Well-made
ruihe the perfect bounce.
PipinEs, such as now are IN STYLE
must be stuffed with cotton wndding'
and every particle OF the work requires
to be done with care and neatness to get
any satisfactory result The preliminary
basting must be perfectly done.
STUFFED PfP1NGS.
To make stuffed pipings, cut bias strips
two and One-quarter inches wide, the
length Of the skirt at its widest part,
and the same length Of strips Of cotton
wadding two inches wide.
Fold the wadding twice, 50 that II shall
have four thckuesses and shall be half
an inch wide and then haste 1t hrmly
along its entire length.
Turn under one edge Of the material
Just one-quarter of an inch, or the width
Of an ordinary seam, and haste 1t down
securely.
Then place the folded cotton in the
center of the bias strip and fold over
first the raw. then upon that the turned
edge as the diagram shows. and hem the
latter fiat with long stitches that eaten
only TO the cloth beneath.
When that Is done the piping Will be
complete and should measure just three
quarters Of an inch In width. Repeat
this for as many rows Of piping as you
wish.
Basic the piping carefully to the
skirt, at whatever distance between the
rows you may prefer, and sew IL hrmly
into place. without allowing single
stitch 10 pass through the piping, lest 1t
be ilattened and lose its effect.
PLATED PIPING.
Piping plaits are just now high in
favor. They are really very simply
made, yet are extremely elegant in either
two or three rows, or as heading Tor a
small hounce on any gown Of sufficiently
heavy material
To make one. cut three strips exactly
as directed for the piping, excepting that
you make each half as long again as the
skirt is wide. Stuff aud finish all three,
then pluit them evenly and smoothly Just
as you would your hair. and sew the
plat fast to the gown; take pains TO in
tei~weave the six ends so that the place
of joining may not be apparent.
DOUBLE RUFFLES.
Double rufies or scant quillings, are
admirably well suited to skirts already
made but need more fullness at the foot
They are graceful and stylish and give
excellent satisfaction for n really small
expenditure of time-in fact ] know
nothing better suited 20 the needs of all
who make their gowns at home.
Cut hve-inch bias strips twice the
length Of the width Of the skirt Turn
under both edges after you have pressed
open oil the seams till they lap in the
middle of the under side.
Then divide the length Of the ruliie
into quarters also the skirt, run two
gathering strings through the center of
the strip One-half inch apart taking
care 10 shirr each quarter separately
with double silk thread.
Pin the quarters of the shirred ruitie
to the quarters Of the skirt, draw up the
