ones, too. Here's hint for the helpless.

holes are to be. Fold plaits as desired and
leave bit OF extra fullness by drawing the

the saving grace of the waist for it

front. at the same time leaving the smooth
shoulder effect.
The seams should be turned on the right
side. sewed and then again on the other
French fashion. A very important detail
Is to procure a good shirt-sleeve pattern.
The cuffs should be made and put in place
before the sleeve is sewed in and these

the maker more bother than any other part

The dress shown here is made Of pongee

1t is rather curious TO note that in spite

| waists are no longer fashionable many are
worn. and the so-to-speak private shops. as
well as the large establishments display no
end of new designs in them. Lace waists.
| white and black, are most attractive. and
while. as in everything. the all white is the
| most fashionable. the black over white, or
vice versa. are also extremely smart.
L -lnere Is no fixed law as to the kind of
lace that should be used-fine, coarse very
expensive and very cheap are one and all
in fashion-and the one fixed rule is that
the pattern chosen must needs be an effect
i've one.
For the moment the cream laces. once
Known as curtain laces, are used for trim
ming. and are also made up into waists, and
the Imitation Cluny is another fancy of the
moment. Both these laces are used in
bands of the insertion for waists and nut
over pleated chiffon. the chiffon softening
greatly the rather harsh effect Of the lace.
and the lace in its turn keeping the pleat-
lngs In place and giving a more trim fin
isned appearance than is always to be seen
In the chiffon waists. which have, unfortu-
nately. a sad tendency to either Sag or
the pleats to get out of place.
White chiffon is a material that wears re-
markably well. but at the same time soils
easily. so that often a white lace waist
made up over chiffon looks soiled when in
reality it is only the chiffon that needs
cleaning. Then. too, white chiffon does mot
stay clean any length of time after it has
once been cleaned: consequently it must
needs be ranked with expensive fabrics
For the moment the fashion of black
pieated chiffon waists. with strips of white
lace joined by feather-stitching. is popular.
ana these waists keep clean such long
time. ana, furthermore, can so easily be
renovated by taking Off the white lace and
