HOMEMADE GOWNS.
An Accomplishment Which Many
Women Have Acquired.

women Have Acquired.
A surprising number of the we'll
dressed women you meet are arrayed in
costumes manufactured by their own
hands, writes Katherine Worden, in
Woman's Home Companion. Some of
the smartest cycling costumes worn are
homemade" as are many handsome
street and evening dresses. Yet so well
and so cleverly are they constructed
that there is never a hint of "home-
madeness" about them.
1t used to be, much more so than at
the present time, that those who could
not afford the services of dressmaker
were the ones who made their own
clothes. Indeed, it was not unusual to
hear a woman boastfully remark that
she could not thread a needle or sew
straight seam, so ignorant was she of
sewing. Nowadays, many well-to-do
women consider it great accomplish
ment to be able to be Independent of
dressmakers. They have learned how
to sew, how to cut and to fit and drape.
Their sewingrooms are fitted with
modern appliances. There is a form
over which skirts may be adjusted.
A bust form. over which corsages
may be draped and arranged, is one of
the necessary adjuncts. Where the
home dressmaker has not supplied her.
self with System" she is guided in her
cutting by patterns.
1t is the woman of limited means who
derives the greatest benefit from know
ing how to sew well, for oftentimes the
expense of a dress is not in the mate
rial, but in the making. Therefore, she
who makes her own may afford two
dresses for the price of one.

FLOWER DOILIES.

the material is the finest ecru grass
cloth, each petal is buttonhole stitched
with pink embroidery silk, and the
standings and veinings delicately indi-
Gated with fine floss. The pattern is
supposed to represent hollyhock, but
it will easily be seen by the outlines of
rose, pansy and sunflower how other
flowers may be adapted to the round
shape that is necessary.
A simple way of obtaining fat pat
tern of flowers or leaves is to have two
panes of glass of exactly the same size,
and to arrange pattern or a simple
flower or leaf between them, pressing
them fiat. If the would-be designer
is no draughtswoman, the upper piece
OF glass may be of the same transparent
ground glass that is used for children's
states, and the outline of the flowers
beneath traced on its surface II
