A Handy Stock.
For the odd stocks which they frequently
accompany, silk cut on the bias or ribbon
may be employed. A made-up adjusted
stock is more serviceable than one which
needs to be tied every time 1t is worn, and
with the many wired forms which are sold
so cheaply such neck fxings can be fash
Toned easily. For stiffening the neck piece of
the ribbon sort that tie there are new feath-
erbones in oblong slide shape that neither
injure nor annoy the throat. yard and a
half length permits smart little bow with
the ends hemmed and maybe narrow tuck

for cleaning and mendng. The separate
trimmings are also supplied for uppers in

both of which materials are more condu-
Give to fashionable slimness than silk.
Upon the swing and dash of a petticoat
hounce and on the careful fit of the upper
portion of the skirt much depends. So
these separate f1ounces are made most
carefully. with the deep dust frill OF the
completed skirt and all the cordings and
little additional frills which give solidity

crate one. and this Is quite a usual rem

of plain taffeta and handsomely patterned
silk. An excellent model Is a deep-shaped
ffounce edged with a narrower bias friil
edged in turn with two or more narrow
ones. The dust founce beneath has also a
little frlll edge. the cordings and tuckings
