Renovating Notes

AN c } six blouse from last sea-
~ son could be made attractive by
using chiffon or lace to cover l..
Use the old blouse for the founda-
ton. and cover it entirely with chif-
fon or yelling, which should be put
on with considerable fulness, or
eveL better. accordion pleated.
Chiffon Is not the fragile, perish
able SUM many people think it to
be. On the contrary, when of good
quality, it wears very we'll indeed.
Lace collars, fchus and berthas
are wonderful possibilities ~ the
way of changing the character of
dress into soIA, Wug dainty and be-
coming for the evening.
Prepare a table large enough to
hold I e entire width of the goods.
Lay the dress goods on the ia, le
wrong side up.
Take cloth. free from lint, dip
in water, wiring out tightly, for the
cloth must not be wet, just damp.
Cover the dress goods with this
cloth and press with a hot iron.

The Proper Way to Use a
Pattern

the sewing line be three eighths of
an inch inside.
When the pattern is stamped, mo
allowance for seams" the goocs
should be cut large enough to allow
for seams, and the edges of the pat
tern will denote the sewing line.
Sewing lines may be marked with
chalk if helpful.
In fitting, the alterations that are
necessary should, so far as possible.
be made at the shoulder and under
arm seams.
Do not cut darts until garment is
fitted and stitched. This assures the
retention of the original lines
and shape of the pattern.
In skirts it is advisable not to cut
darts at all; simply press fat. This
will allow for alterations at any
time In waists, after the seams are
stitched, notch the darts and seam
the waistline.
To those who are entirely mex
rerienced in the use of patterns,
quite the best method is to cut at
least and fit at least two unbleached
muslin ones and put them together
before attempting the production in
the materials to be finally used.
This will brine in a practical
knowledge of every point necessary
TO satisfactory and artistic results.

ed with pink rosebuds, piped with

with quaint, old-fashioned brooch.
There is decided fancy, too, for
the relieving of all white frocks by

stitutes an air emlnently Partisan.

Suggestions for Afternoon Frocks for Debutantes

nowadays the difference between
the price of the dry cleaner and the
really good laundress is not seri-
GUS matter.
In the first illustration is given a
smart and very simple, easily made
frock for a young girl. 1t is of pink
and white wolfe, with trimmings of
plain silk or chiffon, with a heavy
bow of pink velvet, very soft, made
in a flaring bow.
White silk ninon, with allover Val
lace yoke and Val edged sleeves, is
shown on the second figure. The
large hat is in white felt, faced with
rhododendron pink and three large
choux of soft velvet in white, pink
and lavender.
The third frock is in white China
silk, with trimmings of natter blue
velvet ribbons. The buttons are en-
broidered in white and blue, with
touches of gold thread. The yoke IS
of dotted net. TIE frock is worn
with large lace hat.

Narrow edgings are finely gather
ed, and then arranged in elaborate
scroll patterns, the spaces being
filled up with motifs of 1relande or
of Venetian guipure.
These little scrolls of Val are pos
sessed of an individual charm which
must be seen to be appreciated.
They are introduced on muslins as
fine as Queen Mab's wings, and the
skirts are mounted on under-dresses
of mousseline or washing chiffon.
never directly on silk.
China wash silk is also considered
eminently suitable for underskirts,
for frail lingerie frocks, and every
effort is made to keep the whole
things as billowy and soft as pos
sible. and to do away with any indi-
cation silk or rustic!
For young girl nothing could be
prettier than a mixture of embroid-
cred muslin and Val, the muslin and
lace being in the finest qualities.
For evening wear the yoke might,
with good effect, be made Of piece

Home Dressmaker Problems Solved

IN JITING out, so some tallors
1 say, it is better to cut with the
nap up, instead of down. This
method, it is said, prevents rubbed
spots, the material retaining Its
bloom for much longer period.
When cutting out patterns mark
all perforations carefully, and basic
with the utmost care, using a hne
thread and taking long stitch on
~ wrong side and a short one on
the right.
In making a skirt placket cut the
underlap double, about one and one
half inches wide when finished, and
allow the underlap to extend one
and a half inches below the placket
opening, then join underlap to seam.
When stitching be careful that the
skirt seam does not pucker. After
this turn the remainder of the lap
