II NoOel Museum,

In some European cities, notably
Amsterdam and Charlottenburg, a
suburb of Berlin, there are museums

men and for advancing the cause of
hygiene in industrial centers.
So useful and beneficial to the work
ing classes have these museums
proved to be that the idea is TO be
initiated in Paris by an annex to the
Conservatoire des Arts ct Meters
Nothing of a gruesome nature is to
be exhibited, but illustrations and
models of life-saving apparatus, under
all conditions, will be shown.
Models of various kinds of ma
chinery known to be perilous to work

me that as she had an excellent pat
tern cut and fitted by a hrst-class
tailor she was afraid to buy any other
because of the variations arranged
for. Being unable to make them her
self she was obliged to cut all her
waists exactly alike.
AS a matter of fact, the all impor-
tant thing is to have the plain pattern
correct; then there need be no diff.
Guilty.
A tuck always requires double its
width of material added to the plain
pattern; therefore three half-inch h
tucks use up three inches of material
A box-plait proper is tuck refold-
ed so that what would be its edge is
laid exactly along the stitching and
forms the middle of the box-plait.
Sometimes it is simulated by two
smaller tucks with a space between,
from which the edges are both turned
outward. This is frequently done
when the texture is too thick TO look;
we'll in as deep folds as would be nee
essary for the size OF the plait desired,
and when an insertion or trimming is
10 MI the space DctWceH.
For fullness there is no special rule
as regards the extra to be allowed,
this being determined by the texture.
Very thin ones may be as wide again,
and thick ones have only two or three
inches allowed. A good general
amount for a half front is six inches,
and for half the back three inches. Ii
is very ugly to have thick material too
full, and to gather thin texture
scantily.
A capital plan is to lay one end of
the material over the half front of the
pattern, and, commencing from the
front edge, arrange the fullness by
placing pins between the tucks of the
material. When that is done, turn il
over, bringing the pattern upper
most, so that the edges of the material
can then be easily cut, unpinned, and
used for a pattern for the second
half. Figure shows this after being
pinned and cut.
AT any place where fullness is de-
] sired, this is a much better plan .thar

tailored gown. The vesting of green
and white check was made with the
long shouldered effect, tuckings ap-
pearing back and forth from the
shoulder yoke. The sleeves were also
tucked and hared into a deep cuff. The
wide center band, which concealed the
buttons, was carefully shaped at the
waist, with a little fullness, but no
blouse. An outside belt of the same
material caught the waist snugly in
the back, and was carried loosely from
the side seams in the front where it
was crossed and fastened.
A more dressy blouse, and one that,
being all white, can be worn with any
suit, is heavy basket weave with
over-plaits and rich lace yoke. The
waist falls from this yoke between
shoulder capes and stoles into a
shaped blouse. The tucked sleeve
flares into a puff, which is caught into
lace cuff band. The pointed belt.
heavily stitched in black, is new de-
parture, and is shown on waists OF
any color.
A smart West End blouse all white,
although quite different in design from
the above, has also a pointed belt
decorated with raised black stitching
In this blouse the fitted yoke is set
on with both pendant and horizontal
tabs fastened with pearl buttons, the
cuffs also being closed with the same
style of button. The full front falls
from a series of box plaits and tucks
the box plaits in the back being drawn
snugly into the waist.
The floral weave in white, or in
decorated white, is one of the pref
tiest of the new designs. 1t is certain
to be one of the most popular, as il
seems to be lighter in weight and
adapts itself to more elaborate styles
| noticed one of the floral weaves
made up in a shirred yoke, from which
fell bloused front, a center front
band being made by a series of tuck
ings on either side. The clerical stock
pattern was seen in the shirred
sleeves, which fell in a puff, and were
caught in cuff bands.
Striped vestings are somewhat bril-
liant in coloring and resemble the
more snowy wash silks patterns. In
deed, more or less silk is woven in
with the linen thread, and / noticed
several white weaves made up with
silk bands or. straps. This can hardly
be considered advisable, although suf-
fciently pretty and even chic. But
il is an extreme--a violation of that
code which determines the fashion
ethics of linen and silk.
While vestings cannot be laundered
they come under the heading of linen
or cotton, and should, in their make
up" eschew such luxuries as silk or
satin.
A blouse of English vesting, how.
ever, must not be confounded with the

front portion should be reckoned for
by the lowest line of gathering from
the front edge to where il meets the
armhole one, and from that point up
wards the extra should be allowed be-
yond the shoulder edge, as in Figure 3.
Where the line is curved, as, for in
stance, in the lower edge of plain
yoke, TO which gathered edge is to
be set, such as is illustrated in Figure
4, it is still more necessary to avoid
the puff in the gathered edge set TO it.
This is frequently a matter of per-
plexity. Though one has apparently
cut and sewn rightly, the effect is
wrong, and requires unpicking i'm or
der to set the lower part further into
the yoke edge. the illustration shows
how TO keep the larger edge parallel
with the smaller one, so that when
gathered they will match.
These rules practically apply fer
tucking. Having reckoned how many
tucks are to run from the shoulder, the
necessary amount must be allowed in
extending that edge. For those run
ming up into the neck il is we'll to cut
direct line from the front neck cor
ner to the point of the shoulder, and
to shape it to the pattern after making
the tucks. With wide tucks or box
plaits, the folds of which make the
top edges more or less vandycked
when cut, one should allow about an
inch extra turning above the edge, and
then cut to the pattern after tuckinp,
in order to make them set straight.
1t is economy of time and material to
measure in this way, rather than to
cut off width of material, tuck il.
and then cut out
When it is desired to join the lower
part of any garment TO a yoke by a
plain edge, and TO set in folds below
to get the sacque effect, the edge for
the lower part must be more curved
than the one it is sewn to. A very
simple way of cutting this from a
plain pattern is TO divide the pattern
where the edge of the yoke is desired.
Then slash the pattern (back or 'front.'
from the lower edge almost to the
upper one. Lay this on to the mate
The Indianapolis journal., 1903-10-04

rial with the points of the lower edge
set apart, more or less space being
allowed according to the fullness de-
sired. (See Figure So This will natur-
ally make the upper edge more curved,
which creates the fullness below. The
same plan may be satisfactorily fol-
lowed whenever fullness is desired at
one end of pattern for a plain op-
posite end. Avoid slashing the pat
tern too near the sides, as it is usually
desirable tor a garment to stand out
there.

an under-blouse and
collar of either white cloth or Madras.
Fashion has taken this matter in
hand, and peremptorily orders that
this under blouse be of English vest
ing, and constructed after an approved
style.
English vesting, as the name sug-
gests, is patterned after the pretty
vestings worn by English squires on
informal dress occasions. 1t is sort
of lowered pique, and yet is hardly
comparable to the latter, as the weave
is as elaborate and varied as the mesh
of a veil. As a matter of fact these
meshes are woven on silk looms and
have all the exquisite corded and col
oring effects of the most dainty even
ing silks.
Sometimes the mesh presents geo
metrical designs, then again tiny
ovals, medallions and links arrayed
singly or in groups, the whole in
terspersed with the figures or sprigs
in silk finished colors, 1t being under
stood that the ground mesh is a
creamy white
Although white with tiny embossed
flowers will be found in the larger
number of thin blouses, and will be
worn preferably with tailored street
suits. others are shown in the fashion
able colors, such as champagne, wa
ter blue, reseda green, lavender. rose
and gun metal. The latter stand IN
special class, and come in every
variety of blocks, cubes and ovals, the
contrast being the silver purple OF the
metal against the white mesh.
There is a certain distinctive touch
in the construction of the new blouse.
The new French back is a departure
from the old clumsy folds and tucks.
The back is without fullness OF any
kind. the waist being shaped by a
series of tiny tucks springing fanwise
from a center point in the waist on
each side of the back seam The ma
terial being heavy, and unwashable,
by the way, the sleeves are small and
finished by modest cuff band. The
woke collars are deliberately designed
in stole effects, bands, straps and pen
dants. decorated with Arabian knots
and fagotting. The blouses are finish
ed in such a way that they can be
worn with or without the detachable
yoke, the latter being occasionally
over elaborate TO harmonic with the
decorated revers seer on some OF the
more dressy street suits.
In selecting autumn vesting, there
must be a certain harmonious intent
between the color of the flower and
that of the costume.

and cut the second half by the first.
To allow the extra by measurement,
either for fullness or tucks, the two
ends of the edge of the material, with
the extra allowed for fullness, must
be parallel with the two original ones.

of the visit is the purpose to express
the qualification of the Ear at the re-
