ON the Bar.
Brunswick. Ca, Jan. 15-An unsightly
wooden building at the corner Of Monk and
and Bay, two prominent business streets,
is being torn down, preparatory to the
erection of a two-story brick store.
There is a smail-sized sail-boat in
Brunswick called the Unknown, which
has held the interstate championship for
years, and each Fourth of July Compel

A party of Brunswickians is being
formed to go to Savannah to see Henry
Irving on his appearance in that city.
Information from Washington is to the
effect that the board of government sur
veyors failed to fisd twenty-three feet of
water on the ocean bar, as claimed by
Col Goodyear, and as shown by charts
and surveys made by Mr.. Fl. g. Ripley,
an engineer Of unquestoned repute.
They, however, give Col. Goodyear credit
for having benefited the bar to a certain
extent. Col. Goodyear is continuing his
work, despite the report, and has every
confidence in his ultimate success.

have elected officers for the ensuing year.

mo. T. MARTIN & CO. +;

what the great wholesale manufacturers
Of ready made garments call "close
lay" cutting. It would require far too
much explanation and it costs money to
have type set unnecessarily, and no
dressmaker would allow a customer to
know that full suit of waist and skirt
could be cut out of Al yards Of "a
inch goods. They must have q at least.
I know one dressmaker who used to
make dresses for some of the wealthiest
customers in the city. She would not
touch q silk gown unless she had 20
yards Of material nor wooden one I'M
less she had or 10. 'If you are will
ing to wear skimped gown" she would
Say, II cannot afford to risk my repu-
tation in sending one out of my estab-
lishment." She had another establish
ment in Fort Wayne, and in some occult
manner she always had duplicate gowns
in both places. She had adopted the
"close lay" system and made it pay.
Amount Of Goods Required.
In this column 1 present a model
gown in the very latest style. The skirt
is cut in seven gores-viz, one front,
four side and two back cores. The waist
is the neat new pointed effect, and there
are fiat revers, with a vest front of lace
or of any other stuff. The sleeves are
the new two piece, and they make
moderate gigot puff. There is one fiat
collar, and one upright one slightly
fiaring-all in all as pretty and desir-
able gown as one could wish. This
entire suit can be cut from 4 "a yards of
"a inch goods. 1t is of biscuit mohair.
The average woman cuts her skirt
first piece by piece with little system.
She spreads as much of her stuff as will
go on the dining room table and cuts
the cores doubled i'll manner shown in
the "unscientific" illustration, not even
trying to get more than the back and
under arm piece from the rest of the
stuff after the cores are out. She cuts
them wider and longer than her pattern.
This is deliberate waste if she is sure
of her pattern, and she has no business
to cut by it if she is not sure. The I'M
scientific one thinks that her first duty
is to get her skirt out without piecing,
and if any piecing has to be done it can
be hidden under trimming on the waist.
Some goods, like cashmere, henrietta
and eudora as well as mohair, plain silk
and cheviot, can be cut to even better
advantage, as there is neither up nor
down.
The two diagrams will show better
than long explanations the difference
between the tailor style Of close lay pat
terms and the woman's economical ideas.
In the first "A yards Of "a inch goods
The evening bulletin. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1887-1905, 1896-04-25

makes q full dress. 1t is cut so that
there is hardly piece of stuff as big
as ones hand wasted. The manner in
which this is done is this The goods is
laid smoothly cut on a place long
enough to hold the entire piece. The
patterns, which are cut of stiff paper,
are then laid on and fitted into their
position like the upper diagram. Then
they are marked out on the cloth with
soapstone, chalk or blue pencil. Pieces
of lead or sadirons are put upon the pat
terms to hold them in place while the
marking is being done.
The pattern in the two diagrams is
exactly the same, yet by unscientitic cut
ting one takes 71S yards of material
and the other but Al.
The rule is this, and it is easy: First,
be perfectly sure of your pattern and
spread out your goods all on one sur
face. Try over and over, if necessary,
until you fit your puzzle of patterns to-
gether like the upper diagram. Mark
them, as said above, lift off the patterns
and cut fearlessly, and you will be
glad you tried. The different parts are
numbered thus /, front breadth; 2,
first side breadths; 3, second side
breadths; 4, the two back breadths No.
and No. are cut ON the fold and arc
to be left with the fold uppermost. Nos.
and 3 are to be cut apart and the sell
wages Of each sewed to the straight sides,
except where and 4 join. That is a
bias seam and needs to have piece Of
tape sewed i'll with it, so that it will
not sag. No. 8 is the front of the waist.
1t is cut for q SO inch bust, but if a
stouter person wishes to make it there is
enough margin to allow it; is the vest
front; Z, the upright collar; S, the back
side pieces; 8, the under arm pieces
10, the pointed revers; IL, the backs
~, the upper sleeve. This is not as large
as sleeves have been, but is as large as
the latest styles; 10 is the under part OF
the sleeve; IA is the fiat collar.
If in buying a seven gored pattern
one finds that the lower part is too wide
to allow for the other pieces, turn it over
and cut off the superfuous width. This
skirt is as full as it needs be and is ex-
tremely handsome.
AS long as woman cuts her garments
in the old uncertain way she does not
know how to cut with economy. The
gown should be sewed, pressed and fin
ished with the neatness and precision
that are now required on all dresses,
even the most inexpensive. l hope that
those who read this will keep the dia.
grams for future reference.

CHAIR BACK COVERS.
When Properly Made They Are Useful
and Add Adjournment to q Room.

The modern chair cover must not be
COMPOUNDED with the hideous crochet
denominations in wool or cotton, reviled
by men and admired only by the wom-
en- who made them. These latter are
relegated to lodgings which still affect
wax flowers, bead mats and the like.
The chair back cover which now finds
place III modern sitting rooms and
libraries is both useful and decorative.
1t preserves the freshness of ones best
chairs and covers up the shabbiness of
old ones. 1t furthermore adds to the
adornment of q room.
The material for chair back cover
may be art serge, lowered cretonne or
art muslin. The last named wears well
and can be laundered. A charming af
fair seen was of brown art serge, with a
center of old gold silk. 1t was made as
follows:

which the cover is designed. We will

ALICE VARNUM.

The situation in east Africa is the
most picturesque Of any now occupying
public attention. The two native armies
there represent the fiercest, strongest
and most intellectual people Of the dark
continent. The dervishes Of the Sudan,
with the Mahdi or prophet Osman Dig
ma at their head, are the most ferocious
and fanatical of all the Mohammedan
sects. 1t is both their duty and their
pleasure to kill Christians Menelek
and his Abyssinians, on the other hand,
represent the Oldest Christian sect ON
the globe, older than the Roman or
Greek church. At least they claim to
be Christians, and their claim is as well
proved by their actions as that of many
persons in the United States Of Amer
lea. The Abyssinian Christians hate
the Italian Christians, and are trying
to drive them out of Africa. The der
wishes and the Abyssinians although
enemies by their religion, have there
fore a common aim, the expulsion Of
Europeans from Africa. 1t is a ques.
ton, however, whether they have the
sense to take advantage Of the situation.
The dervishes have 800, 900 soldiers;
tho Ahyssinians 100. 600.
