THE PROPER WAY TO CUT A WAIST
LINING.

Directions For Drafting n Pattern to Suit

ton.
The system of waist cutting and fitting
Is always the same and based upon tho
same principles, though sometimes very
pronounced new style may render certain
changes or notifications necessary. At
the present timo the waist is cut in eight
pieces, or at least the lining is-viz, two
fronts, two side fronts, two side backs and
two center back pieces. A diagram is Civ
en- showing their form and relative posi-
tlons This gives what Is called q model
basque, and this Is tho foundation OF al
most all the waists, whether plain basques,
round waists, coats or princess gowns.

is so easy that any one can do 1t who
knows anything at all about drcssmaking.

WATER SUPPLY STILL SHORT.
Very Little Improvement In the
Pressure Vet.


There was little improvement in the
water supply yesterday. The water works
were teiephoned twice during the day. and
both times il was reported THAT the pres
sure al the works did not exceed thirty
pounds which IS about half the usual pres
sure. In song about the city the general
waste OF water is very evident II could
be seen running on the sidewalks in many
places coming from houses where
the pipes were either broken or
had been left running in the yards. In
the southern section Of the city the W aste
Of water in this manner is said 70 be very
evident The cc.d wave which arrived last
night viii have a tendency TO continue
the waste Of water with the consequent
low pressure and inability TO procure wa
ter above the drst floor in houses.
In some parts Of the city the pressure
during the afternoon was sufficient to
force the water to second floors, but not
above that and even then the pressure was
very slight
The condition Of affairs which has eX-
isted Tor the last five days. following that
dung the cold spell in December, IS
likely to result IN an investigation of the
water works department with a view 10 Sc
curing IL remedy Tor the trouble, and to
prevent its recurrence with every freeze.
There is an opinion that the present
works should be connected with the old
works by the building OF the conduit and
that the old works should be kept In con-
dit on for operation without delay.
The suggestion that leak valves be put In
every house would undoubtedly afford a
means Of preventing the freezing up OF
pipes but it would involve a considerable
cost which many property owners do not
think they should be called upon to bear.

Mr.. Workman is well qualified to divine
the future, having travelled extensively.
He came to California few years ago,

mines of note in this State and valuable
City and County property.
a. DecourtleuX Jr., when interviewed in
his market on Pacific street, said: 1.-THE one
thing necessary to success in any calling is
thoroughness. / believe SO per cent of the
failures are attributable to a lack of the

OF course, this is not saying that smart

experience in every detail of any business.

it took all summer. His perseverance
brought him success.
