FOR THE HOME

From all appearances the season com

However. good as il may be for the
trade. the woman who is Obliged to
make her own gowns must needs do so
or so without.
For the amateur here are just "a few
hints.
Don't try 10 combine coIors unless YOU
are sure or your artistic eye. Copy a
good model. II you cannot obtain one.
then stick 10 white, or 10 black. TO gray
or 10 blue. or if YOU prefer il. TO golden
brown Don't mix things up.
II YOU are a decided amateur. cling 10
the old faYorites as being "a little more
familiar q their texture aud conse-
Guentiy easier TO haudie than the new
ones. Examine the ncw-sct grades Of
cashmere and do not forget that there
are heavy veilings that are Iovely
Cheviot comes ia very fine and almost
smooth grades. ana If you have only
one or Two street gowns. do not neglect
your chance TO get a nice fine serge.
And there is another don't Don't for
get the back Of your gown. That must
be wei fitted and abIndantIy trimmed.
for the day Of the olJ-fashiOued back is
gone by. The trimming consists OF
double shoulder capes. Of handsomely

includes the panel, the lace inset. the

tor back trimmings there are the GRO
cheted drops and ends: there are the
friuges, there are the lattices OF ribbon
and. more than all, there are the but
tons. and 20 these there is no limit at
all.
Inc button question Is one that might
well keep the amateur awake through
worrisome night. Buttons come in an
known metallic materials ana i'm a great
many that are not recognized as metals
az sight. yet which look and wear like
metal.
For tho amateur busy fingers there
is one safe trimming. and this is tbe
