Plaid Winter Shirt Waist
Dresses.

The smartest shirt waist dresses
for this Fall are plaid. the real
Scotch designs, or color schemes IN
the browns and greens, or dull two
tone plaids.
In the most expensive goods IL is
not at all difficult 20 find the actual
tartan design, the Stewart, the Mac
Donald, the Brace the Wallace, and
so on through all the best known
clans. And IL you are Scotch de-
cent, il is the very swagger thing
10 have shirt waist suit In the
plaid Of your own clan.
The materials are heavy Scotch
wool mixture, silk-mohair, wash
flannel, light Scotch flannel, tafieta,
silk and wool wolfe and straight cot
ton stuffs. II you want TO be most
fashionable you will have a wash
flannel suit in some tartan color, a
design that has been fought under,
sung TO. and that has been an in
SEPARATION to the bag pipes on many
a battle field.
The wool or silk shirt waist suits
all have a plated skirt, wide box
plaits or narrow knife plaits, or cut
circular or accordion plated. And
the blouses are plated TO match
full over the chest for perfect com
rtablespring elbow-spring. They
are very tailor made, all the plaits
stitched and double stitched and
fatty pressed, and the silk suits
sometimes trimmed with bands, col
lar and cuffs of suede leather.
The wool suits are worn with
stocks in bright silk and bolts in
bright leather. or with a black bolt
and white lawn collar and cuff bands.
The lawn hem-stitched, or trimmed
with fine convent Embroidery, or
coarsely embroidered in Russian or
Bulgarian color schemes. Or the
most dominant color of the plaid is
used in the embroidery.
Where q leather trimming in used
a belt is made TO match, and il is
very swagger TO bind all the leather
edges with taffeta, the same color or
black. You can get q sued skin
from any shoemaker and have him
dye it the color prettiest with your
plaid, all for very little money, and
be ultra fashionable just by using
your own taste and ingenuity.
Shirt waist suits are as a ruled
unlined, or IL for a very cold climate
separate lining is introduced, a
plain, gored drop skirt, tackled TO
the belt of the plated skirt, and a
DISQUALIFICATION flannel or elder
cloth under the blouse when neces-
sary. This allows for q pretty full.
ness in the plaid outer waist, with.
out bungling, and also enables one
to send q lining frequently TO the
wash, valuable idea in washable
waists.
An excellant plan for washing
these lining to preventfading or the
haggard look of well-rubbed fabric
is 10 wash in hot suds OF CASTLE
soap and borax powder. Ii saves
boiling, the use Of board and any
possibility of shrinking. Havea tub
half full of water that has boiled
add four tablespoonful of borax and
half cake Of shaved soap. When
this is prepared it's good plan be
fore putting in your Innings TO frs
rinse out any laces or ribbons OIL
wells that you want to clean quickly
without injury.
Your Innings will come clean In a
few minutes light hand rubbing,
and should be rinsed in clear warm
and then in clear cold water.
Girls who wear cotton shirt waists
all winter in cold countries invari-
bly, use washable Innings of wool or
wool and cotton, and find it easy TO
keep them fresh. unfaded and of
their original size by washing them
in this CASTLE borax suds.
This is also a good method for do
ing up the plaid suits of wash fan
mel, which should never have per-
manent Innings If there is any inten-
ton OF submitting them to laundry
worries. You simply can Z wash too
different sorts of materials out in
different ways so that they will
agree afterwards, and it's SIM
pier to plan them separate from the
start. 1t also makes ironing easier.
The effort to iron q loose blouse
with fitted lining, on the wrong
side, might easily, if women were
not so patient, imperil household
peace for a week. Fancy il mere
man had to accomplish such feats in
his daily Office routine. The world
would ring with the achievement.
And there are may such notable
success every week in every pretty
home that no one hears of. But lit
tie by little women are learning the
secrets OF easy homework. And
where comman sense can take the
place of heroism. they don 4 hesitate
