The complaints that have been received of too cool weather in the south are certainly justified for the official records show that the average tenn perature for May is the lowest on recerd.

THE DRESSES WE WEAR.
Why Gowns Made ut E1cme Lack Chic
and Sricrtness.

Why Gowns Made Ut E1cnae Lack Chic
and STncrtness.
Why Is 1t that professional dress
makers, who are, presumably, women
of little education, and no particular
talent, can produce satisfactory gowns
with a pronounced chic in cut and style
that proclaims them at once to be Gus
tom made" while the amateur, with
greater taste and cultivated artistic in
telligence and perception, should make
such abortive creations whenever she
tries to make her own dresses, is prob
lem that is often commented upon.
"Home made gowns are certainly not as
smart as those built" by professionals,
and why not? Why cannot women of in
telligence, who have straitened in
comes, dress themselves and their
daughters without calling in extraneous
aid? 1t seems such a simple thing to
DO, especially in these days when the
most reliable patterns of the latest
fashions may be had almost for the asJs-
ing, and materials cost next to nothing.
What is it that stamps it, as 1t undeni-
ably does, dress made at home, as Sec
ond-rate?
In the first place, the trademark, as
it were, is wanting in amateur work.
A dressmaker does everything by rule
and rote, but this want of technical
knowledge could be easily rectified
either by taking the trouble to learn the
trade, which is taught in comparatively
few lessons, or by copying in detail the
construction of gown from good
dressmakers. "Finish" is also one of
the great essentials in which profess
SIGNALS score to advantage. Take the
wrist Of an amateurs sleeve, for In
stance, and that of n professional Of
good reputation. The difference is
most marked. The bottom of the skirt,
too, almost invariably betrays it's or
igin, besides many other little details
dependent upon the character of the
dress, Finally. another marked diff
ference between amateur and first-cass
professional work is in the generous
use of material. The former never
''skimps," whereas the latter, if she
makes her own gowns, obviously tries
to save every penny. In homemade
millinery, especially, this skimpiness is
very apparent. A young woman with
pretty taste in trimming bonnets who
could easily have half dozen hats for
the price she pays for one, confesses
naively that she is obliged to buy her
headgear and give large sums for each
confection, because she simply cannot
make up her mind TO buy as much rib
bon or as many flowers as is really re-
quired.
''My hats always look economical"
she declared, "but when l am buying
ribbon by the yard cannot bring my
self to buy enough" So this season
she pays S25 for hat that she might
easily have made herself if she would
purchase the same materials.-N. Y.
