Art OF Dressing.

After all is said and done, the sue
cess of a gown is very largely depend
ent upon the accessories that accom-
pany it. Gloves, shoes, hosiery. para
sol, veil, belt and the numberless other
small details-each of them has the
power to make or mar a costume.
This the really well-dressed woman
knows, and it is here that she scores
over her shorter-sighted sisters. She
recognizes the Importance of these
sadly misunderstood minor details.
and knows intimately what sort of
footwear may appropriately accom-
pany each separate gown, what veil
and how to arrange it, and so on
through the whole category of small
belongings; and she insists upon hav-
ing these things and wearing them
precisely as they should be worn.

To Make Fancy Guimpes.

In making the fancy guimpes SO
much worn by both adults and chill
dren, the material should first be tuck
ed, or spaces left for the lace in
s%ertion, if any be desired. before cut
ting out.
The lace can then be basted on
either edge-flat on the tucked ma
terial - and the fabric cut away
from underneath.
Leave about a quarter of an inch
on each side of the lace. Turn this
back on the material and stitch on
the edge of the lace.
Finish with feather stitching done
with crochet or mercerized cotton, as
preferred.
This makes a very pretty finish. and
enables the garment to bear repeated
launderings without the material fray
ing away from the lace, as it is apt
to do in the case of most ready-made
garments.

PRESSING a Patch.

We have grown SO used to ironing
embroidery or most fine work on the
wrong side that most ONE do the
same for a patch. This is quite a
mistake as pressing directly on the
surface of the patch fattens the sur

If, however, the material is of a ma
