never be attained in the ready-made or
dressmaker- made waist.
The matinee girl with the slender fig
ure will have her waists of softly folding
silk, with a square yoke extending all
the way across the shoulders, SO as to af-
ford all the possible breadth to the figure,
while the lower part Of the corsage will
be. shirred /, In lengthwfse tucks over a
heavy cord and draped softly across the
chest, falling in loose folds into the shal-
low belt This same soft shirring is APP
piled to the sleeve cap, which heads the
full puff, and cute little pointed cuff Of
lace falls over the hand.
Fagoting, catstitching and all the Mex
lean drawnwork stitches have lost none
Of their popularitl, and the clever matt
nee girl has produced some effects in
these which the other side of the foot
lights might be proud to copy. Milliner's
folds Of the silk are manipulated in cum
ming patterns, and the fancy stitches,
done in heavy silk thread, give them al
most the effect Of new innovation in
lace and lace making. On the round
yokes.j made Of the folds and fagoting,
there will be applied tiny, fluffy little ruff
files of ecru Valenciennes, which givessan
effect Of dainty simplicity. The yoke will
be outlined with a horseshoe pattern Of

used with telling effect on the one blouse.
The com bination of Russian guipure and
the Maltese or Honiton patterns is one
that Is we'll liked, and little scraps Of
lace, such as are found in almost every
girls bureau drawer, will be ceverly util
lied and made to do duty for all that
they are worth. One waist in the ward
robe of a matinee girl is reserved, she
tells her friends, to wear to the opera
alone, and this is the palest shade of
changeable pink peau de cygne with
silvery sheen to it in certain lights. This,
the girl proudly says, Is trimmed with
scraps Of family lace, and so cleverly are
they combined that the effect is most har-
monious. The yoke is fashioned of tucked
pink mousseline with alternate rows of
Honiton and Maltese lace appliqued. "A
broad band, of Russian guipure conceals
the spot where the blouse is shirred on
to the yoke, and further curved wavy
bands of the Maltese lace. drop below the
bust, the pink peau de cygne being shirred
and puffed between. With this she will
wear "a deep girdle of pink liberty rib
bon, just one shade darker than the waist,
well boned and fastened with a smart
little chou at the side.
And here is a hint which the matinee
girl will adopt enthusiastically, to have
her girdle just one shade darker than
the corsage, for the shading from the
lighter to the deeper tone Of color will
not only make her look taller, but will
also do much towards making the was
line look more slender ,.st 81

Hand-run tucks are, of course, appar-
ent on all the new waists, and quite a
clever idea is to use strips of these cut
on the bias and catstitch these strips to-
getl1er with silk of either matching or
contrasting shade. These are put to-
gether SO that the tucks form v, and
executed a novel and exceedingly fetch
ing effect is produced with very little
trouble. Sometimes the tucks are run to
form plaid pattern and then the squares
are decorated either with little medal
lions or silk crochet rings.
And, speaking of crochet, many of the
matinee girls have learned to make this
Irish crochet and display yokes and inser-
lions on their matinee waists which they
have fashioned themselves. A yoke OF
the Irish crochet with a heavy fringe,
either in silk or in linen threads, makes
a very smart shoulder finish and, indeed,
will be one Of the features for theater
wear during the season Hand -embroid-
cred polka dots of various sizes are an
other expression Of individual taste, and
when worked in the soft pastel shades on
any of the new white or champagne silks
are sure to be not only effective but
original as well.
The fancy for braids and cords and
dropping pendant effects generally seems
to have extended from the coattsto the
corsage, and many Of the new waists show
a Hussar or Brandenburg cord ornament,
draped sn1artly across the front or used
to connect the strips Of Insertion which
are frequently applied in lengthwise rows.

a certain extent, but they can never be OF
the same valuable service to him, as a

as the finger of the teacher, its lesson. It
tells where the fingers should start their
work; in what direction they should move;
where they should stop. 1t teaches more
quickly and more practically than a

could do. And yet most writer's In deal

the proprietors of so-called beauty par

the same way that the method of the
quack doctor differs from that of the
graduate physician. Proper facial mas
sage consists, it might be said, of three
acts and in each of these acts, as in q
