Barbaric Jewelry Is Now Popular.

A modern fondnesS for barbaric
jewelry IS evinced by the display in
the shop windows. The newest rings
shown are called Oriental banquet
rings" and they are immense IN size.
They are made of Roman gold, and
the band itself is slender, but the
mounting for the setting is about the
size of hickory nut
One of these rings has a mounting
in the shape of a cross, about an inch
long. This is set with precious stones
of all sorts, the emerald and ruby be
ing prominent. Another one Is in the
shape of Princess ring. and Is stud
ded with amethysts and pearls.
The Japanese signet rings shown
are larger than ours, and they are set
10 order with the birthstone. if de-
sired. They are certainly less con-
spiouous than the Oriental banquet
rings.

.HftroctiOe Goods for the
Coming Season

The new goods shown for the com
ing season are enough to turn the
head of the average woman whose
slender purse does not keep pace with
her ideals.
There are merceriZed etamineS
which have what the shopkeepers call a
Bulgarian border, but which is really
a clever machine-made cross-stitch de
sign. They cost IS cents a yard. The
plain article, minus the border, costs
Is cents. so that a woman can buy
enough of the latter for the skirt and
two or three yards extra for the
waist, which will furnish enough Dor
der TO trim the gown, unless she is too
lavish with the trimming.

check, which comes in brown and tan

line for the edge is sloped from the
shortened point to about the same
amount below the outer corner, while
the back edge of the sleeve is placed
to touch the fold at the top, but to be
within it at the wrist end, as illustra-
ted.
If the sleeve is desired with the
large puff over the wristband, the edge
must be more sloped and the fold
placed further away, as shown by the
dotted lines.
In cutting, it should be remembered
that front edges are placed to, or even
with, the selvages; that every part of
garment should be cut the selvage
way of the cloth down; and that the
folds down the middle of the back and
the sleeve respectively should be on a
straight lengthwise thread.
There are several ways of scanning
a shirt waist The ordinary tailor
seam is run and fell one. 1t has the
one raw edge folded over in narrow
turning, and the other slipped under
the fold. They are then stitched at a
quarter or three-eighths from the
edge The turnings are laid over as

shirt waist pattern being easily cut
from it. In most cases the plain shirt
waist pattern IS the foundation for
more elaborate ones.
Armed with the plain fitting pattern,
the amateur dressmaker need have no
fear of failure if she implicitly follows
the instructions here given. Assuming
that the bodice pattern is all that it
should be, the first attempt shall be
10 make plain shirt waist.
By this Is meant any waist that is
cut without allowance for tucks or
gathers. 1t may be trimmed in any
desired way, with anything distinct
from the actual cutting of the waist
as in the illustration in Fig. l., which
has bands of the material laid on and
stitched
Diagram |. shows the parts of a
fitting bodice, with those of the back
joined together down to the waist
This should be cut out in paper, which
may be afterwards wasted The pro
cedure is as follows:
First. the front of the pattern should
be Slashed from the lower edge JUS
IN the middle of the first dart to with
in half ali inch of the neck edge; ther
the back dart should be pinned up.
This front is laid on the materia
Tor paper, with the neck corner, to a.
far down as the edge is straight, ever
with the selvage, when it will appeal

is allowed outside the front edge. A

or fitting line, OF the original pattern,
and the shirt waist edges, when fast
ened, overlap to half the width of the
front pleat, the margin is added to
support the overlapping half. The
lower edge is sloped down, as illus
trated; the sides and top are cut by
the pattern; and a perfect front for a
plain waist is the result
If the back is desired absolutely
plain, it is as well to cut off by a
turning below the waist, and TO set
on a yoke piece to provide the neces-
sary spring. If this is not done, sew
eral slashes from the lower edge up to
the waist line are necessary for the
same purpose.
To allow for a little fullness at the
waist. and still have the back fit
smoothly across the shoulders, the
pattern should be slashed up to even
with the armhole, as illustrated in
Diagram Ill, and then be placed on
the material, with the back edge
touching fold at the neck corner, but
about an inch from it at the waist.
The upper part should be pinned to
the material. The slashed edges
should then be opened, and the full
ness thus occasioned be disposed OF
by two little pleats, the one to the
armhole and the other to the side
edges, when it will appear as repre-
sented in the diagram, and may be
cut out accordingly.
Someone may ask, why not allow
for the fullness at the center front and
back edges, respectively"
Because IN that case the set would
not be nearly as good. By opening
| the patterns, more or less OF curve is
obtained to the upper parts, which
makes all the difference, and distrib-
utes the fulness, instead of its setting
out with poke as would be the
case if allowed on one side only.
| To cut a tailor shirt sleeve from al
ordinary fitting one, the under part o.
the latter should be placed on the
upper (the top hal), which should have
the outer edge folded over toward tina
of the under, and within about al
inch and a half of it, as illustrated il
Diagram Nv.
Then three slashes should be mad,
at the bend of the sleeve from tn,
inner edge to within half an inch of th,
outer one. The corners of tn
slashed edges should be opened on
three-eighths OF an inch, which vii
bring the back part of the sleeve TO, o
nearly to, a straight line. The from

sary. The extra length thus obtaine,

The French seam is also very much
used, and consists of stitching the two
raw edges together with as small a
turning as possible to the right side;
then, reversing it, to stitch them again
on the wrong side, thus enclosing the
first turning in the second one and
making a neat seam on the inside
When working on thick materials, the
run and fell seam is the better one.
For exceedingly thin textures, an
old-fashioned seam, called "the man
tua Makers" is the best. This con-
sists of placing the two raw edges to-
gether and turning them down in a
narrow fold to either hem, or stitch
ing them, the extra thickness of ma
terial thus supporting the seam.
Bands like those IN the illustration
are usually better for being lined with
little fine crinoline muslin or linen.

should first be firmly tackled and
pressed Individually, then tackled in
place and stitched Sometimes it is
better to also stitch them separately,
and run them in place from the inside
of the garment. Care must always be
taken to set them on quite fiat, and to
specially avoid tightening them, as
this would cause the material under
meath to set III creases.
There are different ways of finishing
off the front. If. preferred, extra
width may be allowed on the right
front edge, beyond the margin illus
trated, to make box pleat. This re-
quires double TIE width Of the finished
pleat.
Leaving the original margin at the
edge, the pleat is stitched like a tuck
The fold IS then placed exactly on the
stitching. Thus, while it sets exactly
down the center, the new folds are al
equal distances on each side of it, and
the margin underneath is free to be
finished off with hem, or false piece
and to carry the buttonholes or hooks
The left edge is finished off with d

used for it, and the fastenings are ar

| loved music and dreamed that some
day she would 60 abroad and study;
that she would become fine musician.
The death of her father put an end
to her dreams and left her dependent
on her own exertions. She left Cali
fornia, carrying on her kindergarten
studies IN ST. Louis and later IN Bos-
ton. For short time she devoted
herself to the training of kindergarten
teachers; then she began writing.
"Self expression" she said, is a
dangerous piece of indulgence, for the
need of it creeps back and harnesses
you. The children knew in my kin
dergarten days furnished me with un-
derstanding and material. So set to
work. | have never used real people
in my stories, for | never consciously
studied types or individuals. 1t has
always seemed TO me that the more a
writer can project himself into the
mind of his creature, the more natural
and the more truly artistic are the re-
suits. Incidents then become as they
are in real life-the logical results of
character-and the reader finds them
so simple and straightforward that
he thinks they must have happened in
real life"
Mrs. Riggs has never known the
long struggle for recognition which
! many authors, with a more subtle,
| hidden message to express have gone
through. Her own struggles have been
more human than artistic-change in
circumstances, sudden crises, ill-health.
Yet none of these has blunted the
1 ~ fbaf
mind or destroyed the flashes of fun
and whimsical way of expressing
things in daily conversation. The au-
thor Is first the woman, with an in
terest in each days task and a pleas
ure i'll all phases of life.
Curiously enough, the ease and nat
uralness of her work is secured by
laborious effort. Even after the work
has been turned over to the publishers
and the type set, she goes over the
proof time and time again. Once
after the sheets had been returned a
fifth time, her publishers sent her word
| that she could not see them again, be-
cause, If they were returned the five
| hundredth time, she would still make
changes. Mrs. Riggs acknowledged
the justice of the decree.
| One result of all this labor is that
the author is constantly accused OF
autobiography, when she declares her
self innocent of the charge.

is able to detach himself entirely from
his experience. Suggestions and hall

rather than dogged persistence, seem

The tulness at the front and back of
