combined With plain taffetas and faille as

A fashionable trimming for wooden
gowns consists of embroidery or braiding

An illustration is given of striking
costume for the early spring. 1t is of blue

of cloth, opens over a narrow tablier of
plaid velvet, framed by gold galloon
which is carried around the lower edge of

of plaid velvet, is slightly gathered at the
waist in front and has short rippled

is edged all around with gold galloon.

YOUR COAT COLLARS.
A Tailor Can Tell Whether You're n Beat
Not.


The man who thinks he has tho best
of his tailor had better take off his coat
and examine the tag under the collar.
where, with great care, the fashioner of
garments has sewed it. There let him
look at the stitching which binds that in
nocent looking bit of linen to the cloth.
Let him then see whether the tailor is q
fool or not
AS surely as bad habits leave their mark
upon the countenance of the wicked SO
the willy fashioner of wardrobes has set
his seal. The honest man, the beat. the
slow payer, the schemer and the dolt are
known by the stitches BY their marks
ye shall be understood, or words to that
effect
The object of this new sartorial fancy is
to enable knights of the shears to tell at a
glance whether you are good pay or not.
It's all in the threads, as it were. Here is
the key to these ingenious tabs of the
tailor. The jog" stitch is the one regu-
larly used for good customers, who require
good work. The criss cross is significant
of slow pay. The stitch with dots and
dashes, which looks like the Morse alpha
bet, tells the inquiring tailor that its
owner is a bad risk. The reverse dot
stitch shows the good fellow who wishes
his friends to dress well, but hates like
thunder to pay what they will finally owe
on his introduction.
The round curves are used to indicate a
mean man, and the tag with convex looms
at each corner Is a sure black eye for thu
wearer. It's a good scheme altogether.

DRESSMAKING HINTS.
Valuable Information as to How to Insur,
Good Fit.

In cutting bodice it should be remem-
bored that the second dart-that is, the
one next tho under arm seam-is the one
which gives fullness to the bosom of the
corsage The larger this is the more
spring does it allow from the waist line
outward. If it is cut too large, as is often
the case with thin figures, the top forms
an ugly point which Is never pulled flat.
AS general rule, the second dart ought
to be large only in the case Of very full
figures.
The bodice should be as high under the
arms as is compatible with comfort, as
this not only decreases the size of the arm
hole, but allows freedom of movement
after the sleeve is sewed in A large arm
hole always tends to keep the arm confined
to the side unless the bodice is sleeveless.
Unless there is an unusual lack of fit
corsage should be let out or taken in at

At this time women begin to look over
their wardrobe and to select those gowns
which are worth doing over for wear In
the coming season, and for this purpose
the following directions, from The Ladies'
Home Journal, are most timely:
Every one has or wants black gown
nowadays, and such goods as serge, chew
lot. cashmere, henrietta, etc., are easily
cleaned First, remove the grease spots
with naphtha, and remember that this fluid
Is very explosive when exposed to either
light or fire.
Make lather Of warm soapsuds, using
q good, not strong, soap and teaspoonful
of borax to every two quarts of water
Into this dip the goods up and down and
wash between the hands; then wiring gen.
tly and pat partly dry. Hang in the shade
and when nearly dry iron on the wrong
side with moderately warm iron.
Always rinse once in lukewarm water
and iron until the material is perfectly
dry Never rub a fabric that is being rem
ovated on the washboard, nor wiring it
tightly, and in using naphtha remember
that it roughens the hands, and that after
using it it is we'll to put vaseline upon
them and to wear old gloves.
Wash alpaca in the same manner as
cashmere. adding little gum arabic to
the rinsing water. If the black goods arc
of rusty color, restore them by sponging
with ammonia and alcohol. Always use
piece of tho same material or one near
to it to sponge with. Remove grease from
colored cashmere with French chalk. Rub
1t on the spot, then let it remain all night,
and in the morning brush off. If neces-
sary, repeat the treatment.
Wash a colored wooden fabric, as cash
mere or serge, in warm water, putting a
tablespoonful each of beef's gall and am
monia to a pail of water. Have the rims
ing water ready, with small portion OF
beef's gall in that, and wash and rinse
quickly. Dry in the shade and iron on
the wrong side with warm, not hot,
iron. French chalk can be used on any
color and material.
Benzine will remove paint-it Is also
very explosive-but sometimes leaves a
stain like water. This stain may often be
removed with French chalk Grease is
also removed by rubbing the spot with a
lump of wet magnesia, and after it is dry
by brushing off the powder.
