MAKING A SHIRT WAIST.
Simple Matter IL Proper Attention
Is Given 10 Detnils.

The making of the unlined shirt
waist or blouse is a very simple mat
ter IL proper attention is given to the
little details. 1t is most important that
the pattern be laid on according 10 the
thread OF the material, especially In
wash fabrics Shirt waists are usual
ly unlined, although those Of silk and
flannel are sometimes made with a
lining.
If the shirt waist closes in the front,
the right edge Is generally finished by
a box plat stitched on each edge. But
tonholes are worked through the cen
ter of this plait and buttons sewed TO
the left side, which is hemmed or fin
ished by lap. French seams are used,
and the gathers are put in at the waist
line according TO the perforations in
the pattern. The belt and peplum that
is now used to finish the lower edge
do away with any unnecessary full
ness below the waist and give a trim
appearance and smooth fit over the
hips.
The making of the sleeves is usually
considered by the amateur as the most
difficult part of the waist. First the
sleeve lining must be accurately cut
and basted, care being taken that the
corresponding notches come together,
and then tried on to see that the elbow
is In the right position After the
seams are stitched and pressed they
should be bound with the seam bind
ing. An interlning of crinoline about
two inches wide should be placed in
the lower edge In sewing the sleeve
in the armhole hold the waist so that
the sleeve is toward you and bind with
a bias strip of the lining.-Philadelph

Coronation Drafd,

A group of women around shop
window were admiring table center
piece of great beauty. They pronounc-
ed it a most perfect specimen of laid
work when one discovered that it was
made with coronation braid in the pat
tern of loose sprays of wheat ears tied
with a ribbon, loop Of the braid
forming each kernel, with long stitches
taken at the point The ribbon was
outlined with the braid couched long.
The long space between the rows Of
braid was filed with cross stitch set
closely together, as In shallow work.
The whole could be done rapidly, but
was as satisfactory as if days had been
spent in setting stitches closely togeth-
er. This braid can be adapted to other
flower forms and leaves In an effective
manner. The use OF 1t is a legitimate
way of Sinking. which the most con-
scientlous needle worker would ap-
prove.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

A WlFE'S INFLUENCE.
The Effect of a Woman's Attitude To-
ward Her Husband.

at seems to me that comparatively
few wives understand the scope of
their own influence. They are, as a
rule, much more occupied by the influ-
ence on themselves of the husband )
attitude" says Mary Stewart Cutting
in Harper's Bazaar. "A woman may
be utterly disappointed, cast down,
even fearful, because, after a day of
toll, through all the tedious, dragging,
wearisome details of which she has
been upheld by the thought of her
husbands home coming at night, he is
himself tired, taciturn, oblvious of
her. She may excuse, she may pity,
she may sympathize, but the fact it.
self takes away just so much motive
power Of her own-takes away some
necessary eXhilaration that is the lu-
brlcating oil in those cogwheels OF
continuous effort. Yet this very wom-
an will not realize the effect Of her
own attitude on her husband-how
much of his motive business power is
taken from him for the day because
the hours in which he should have
been rested and cheered have been
filed with complainings and lamenting
over situations which were not his to
cope with and problems which he can
not work out"

THOUGHTS FOR GIRLS.

Your mother is your best friend.
Tell the pleasantest things you know
when at meals.
Do not expect your brother to be as
dainty as a girl.
Have nothing to do with girls who
snub their parents.
Exercise and never try to look as If
you were in delicate health.
Introduce every new acquaintance to
your mother as soon as possible.
Enjoy the pleasures provided for you
by your parents TO the fullest extent.
Most fathers are inclined to overir-
dulge their daughters. Make it i'm
possible for your father to spoil you
by fairly returning his affection and
devotion.
Do not quarrel with your brother,
do not preach to him, and do not cod
die him. Make him your friend, and
do not expect him TO be your servant
or let him expect you to be his.

KITCHEN WALLS.
An Economical Finish which a.
Easily Kept Clean.

A practical and inexpensive treatment
for kitchen walls is to rub successive
coats of OIL mixed with varnish into
the walls until they are n pretty light
brown shade The first coat makes
them a light yellow; then each success
sive coat turns it darker brown. This
can be continued until the walls are
light chocolate in color
The varnish added To the oil produces
surface which can be washed and
that steam will not discolor. With this
wall it is effective to paint the wood
work white-three coats OF common
white paint and then a finishing coat
of white enamel This makes a smooth,
shining finish, which easily is kept
clean with a cloth wrung out of skim
milk. After this treatment ii will APP
pear as smooth and shining as when
first put on.
1t is possible to make the walls any
color one prefers by adding little dry
colOring matter 10 the oil and then stir
ring the varnish i'm afterward. Add the
coloring matter with n light hand, try
ing the oil from time TO time on piece
OF board, so as not to make the coloring
too pronounced 1t Is better to run the
risk of not adding enough and SO be
obliged to add another coat than TO APP
ply one coat that is unpleasantly dark.
This treatment Of the walls is far
more satisfactory than using wall pa
per covered with a coat of shellac, so
ii can be wiped down with damp
cloth from time TO time, or oilcloth,
which also would admit Of wiplng
down with "A cloth wrung out of ammo
mia water. These last, not being a part
of the walls themselves, afford an OPP
portunity for the odor of cooking to
linger longer than Is pleasant, while
they also afford a lurking place in
which the insect fraternity may thrive.
The day has passed when the rear OF
the house is relegated to the back
ground, and today the housekeeper ex-
hibits her spotless kitchen with pride.

Bloomer Trousers.

For the mothers who do their own
sewing here Is a method Of making the
bloomer trousers for small boys. One
does not like the idea Of an elastic In
the bottom of the leg, as In order to
hold 1t in place securely it must neces-
sarily be tight enough to interfere with
the circulation and to be very uncom-
Portable, especially in hot weather. In
stead, finish the bottom with a band.
comfortably loose, and in each seam
sew a tape, In the other end OF which
make buttonhole. The tapes are made
the proper length so when those at the
outside leg seams are buttoned to the
side buttons Of the waist and the
others buttOned to the center front
button the trousers are held securely
In place, with no danger of slipping
down, and the little man Is comfort
able.

ThPPnG.

Many sewers err in using too coarse
cotton both on the machine and In
hand sewing. and sometimes ii Is so
coarse that the cloth will tear away
from it. The thread should be chosen
with regard to the thread or fabric of
the goods and the object Of the work.
For buttonholes and sewing on but
tons a coarse thread is needed for
gatherings, medium coarse: for stitch
ing on the machine. fine, and for hand
hemming, finer still. Many sewers
will find that No. 80 will be better
where they have been using No. CO.
Keep the workbasket always well sup
piled with all commonly used numbers
OF cotton and plenty Of needles OF all
sizes, different darnlng needles, mil
llnery and glove needles.

and a little bantam cock escaped into

would hurl back a prolonged crow Of
defiance at the Frenchman. This pro
duced mighty merriment among the

FAITH IN HER NINE LIVES.
Cat Took Chances in Flying Leap
from Burning Building.

During a fire in the tenement house
at 1874 West One Hundred and Second
street the other day large black cat,
with shiny yellow eyes, appeared on
window sill of the fifth story. Behind
1t a dull red glow and an occasional
puff of smoke gave warning that the
flames were rapidly approaching. Puss
understood, and, after short walk on
the sill, launched herself into space.
The fight through the air was like
that of a squirrel, the poise being per-
feet and the legs spread out as widely
as possible The cat descended in
long, graceful curve, and when she
struck the pavement the feet were
quickly punched together and there
was no dull thud." For a single in
slant the cat paused, as It to recover
from the shock, and then, with long
drawn meouw and every hair on end
dashed along the street and d1sap
peared in the darkness.-N. Y. Sun.
