Sewing on Buttons.

For buttons which are sewed through
and through, and on which there is
great strain, such as those on children S
waists, No. 16, or at least not finer
than no. 20, cotton is needed. Linen
thre:G is not available, because it re-
quires a coarse needle, and that Will not
pass readily through the button. Double
tho potion, place a pin across the top of
tho button and sew over it and through
the holes, winding the cotton around
the button underneath after each stitch.
Thus you make an artificial shank, and
when the pin is withdrawn there is
enough thread to prevent it swapping
when strained.
For coat buttons, whether lasting,
bone or ivory, the best thing to use is q
coarse twist. If you can get tailor S
twist, so 1uuch the better. Linen thread
turns gray and becomes brittle after a
short time. Twist is the best for shoe
buttons and should always be used dou-

Keep a can Of concentrated I've (caus-
tic soda or potash) on the shelf near the
sink and every morning make boiling
hot solution of heaped teaspoonful of
it and pour down the pipes, and after it
has rested in the trap few minutes, to
cut the grease of the day previous, flush
it out with boiling water. The pipe will
be kept clear. In several years use of a
kitchen sink, there has been no cause of
complaint on this account since this plan
has been adopted and kept in use.

fancy waist, which somehow Overshad-
ows and conceals the antiquity Of the
satin or silk skirt with which it is worn.
The edict has gone forth C-epons are
to be abandoned-indecd their reign is
practically over. Plaids arc very fash
ionable and will continue to be worn
throughout the autumn.
Buttons not only increase i'll favor,
but in size These accessions havo be-
come decidedly prominent feature CT
the costume. In a word, thcro is now
fad for buttons which sprout cut incon-
sequently here and there, but on no ac-
count buttoning anything.
Alpaca and mohair are favOritc fabrics,
and special claims are made for the
French alpacas, which arc beautiful in
texture ard very glossy in appearance.
The very latest thing in tea gowns is
4 charming French affair that strikes q
happy medium between the tea gown
and the dinner gown. 1t is made of soft
silk, with full fOunces of lace brought
round the shoulders, to fall, scarf fash
ion, to the HON. Lace also hangs il a
pointed shape to the waist, which IS
encircled with band of velvet, this
lace being so arranged that it will per
nit peep at the shoulder between its
edge and the top Of the sleeve.
The economical woman, when buy
ing the indispensable serge dress, should
consider the charms of an absolute sim
plicity of style, style which may be
cortrived at home or by an inexpensive
dresslnaker without signal failure. An
example in this direction and worthy
of imitation is an imported gown of
blue serge. It's sole trimming consists
Of straps over the shoulders, buttoned
with small gilt buttons, while the vest
is of tucked grass lawn, finished with
collar at the neck and small tied bow
Of black. Another style, in the making
of which the average modiste might
succeed, is a gown of gray serge. On
this, again, the bodice overhangs the
belt, the trimming down each side con-
sisting of small straps of the alpaca but
toned with steel, while the vest is made
of q piece of Indian patterned cashmere.
