V VERY often the friends of ones N schoolgirl days vanish after col- lege days commence. Gradually
 new associations are formed, new friends made, until all the dear old friends whom one was always going to know have folded their tents like the Arabs. and as silently stolen away"
 But nothing will so rehabilitate dying friendships or so revive forgotten mem- ories as simple little social gatherings. which bring together in pleasant man. ner the old groups now so scattered. One such affair was given recently by two sisters to the High School club to which they had belonged. and many clever and original ideas were evolved.
 Since five colleges and two schools were represented in the party. the col lege color idea prevailed. and gave the decorations a gay, almost bizarre, ap- pearance. In addition to these. the club colors, green and gold. were liberally displayed.
 As soon as all were assembled and the first greetings and buzz of chatter over. cards were distributed for the book game to be played. These were or dinary correspondence cards, folded
 
 ribbon in the school or college colors of each guest. To this ribbon a small programme pencil was also attached. On the outside of the card were written the recipients name and the date. and beneath them the musical score of the chorus of the High School song-an- other reminiscence of old days. Inside the figures to 30 appeared, also prepa- ration for the game. On the back-for all were intimate friends-was pasted clipping from magazine or newspaper appropriate to the person receiving It. Thus-to take few at random-the girl from a Southern college received a column of fashions flor southbound tourists" the Bryn Mawr freshman was informed of position as waitress open to her at that pretty college town, and the unfortunate maiden who wore her diamond solitaire for the first time that day was greeted by the single word, John"

 The use of the sleeve board is obvi- ous, and the little iron is for getting into the gathers at the top of the sleeve. If a girl cannot have d sleeve board, the corner of the skirt board may again come into requisition with excellent results for pressing the tops of the sleeves. A roll of thick brown paper, say about four inches wide and about twenty inches long. will also make a very fair substitute.

This useful little gift, which is very easy to make. has Its foundation in clay soap-bubble pipe, linked or painted black, with white eyes and red lips, the spur at the bottom of the bowl serving for a nose. The stem of the pipe is fitted into a spool of shoe thread. She is then dressed in turban, skirt, apron and shawl, this last fastened with large needle. Finally, to her skirt there Is attached little bag containing shoe buttons.
 At the conclusion of the game, re- treatments were served. The guests found their places by little painted paper flags of their schools and colleges, while at each place was sachet in green and bright yellow silk-the first sign of the club colors. The papor napkins, too, were decorated with large yellow flowers, their green foliage very much in evidence, and at each end of the table stood a wheat-like stack of candy straws, one green, one yellow. each tied with the contrasting color
 On each plate were a lettuce leaf full of chicken salad, cube of cur rant jelly and two potted cheese balls. Bread and butter sandwiches, hot chocolate, nuts. olives, raisins and dates were also served, and at the end even the stacks of candy had vanished
 After about an hour the guests re- turned to the living room. and sheets of paper of about tablet size were passed around. On each there was written the name of some wild anil nal, and the guests were requested to tear out a presentment of the beast without drawing 1t. Some of the at- tempts were very good, some merely funny.
 This ended the active festivities. and after a little more conversation the guests dispersed, brought once more into the close. familiar contact of past times One and all joined in voting the party a glorious success.

course, the pressing of the first seam in a sleeve with the turned-up end pf the smallest iron is matter easy to accomplish. but the second seam of the closed sleeve is often puzzle. For this the little seam board is used. It is slipped in and out readily and leaves no mark on the material.
 With this simple and comparatively inexpensive equipment the practical girl is impervious to dampness and un- certain laundresses. She can. if she will (and she will if she once realizes how much better she looks). press her lingerie gowns and blouses before each wearing. No more need the fear of cross maids hamper her dainty sum- mer freshness. Moreover. her fame as the maker of her own clothes will cer- tainly rise when she acquires a truly tailor art in pressing.

 Tuckings or pleatings should be thoroughly pressed before the ma terial is cut out. If another pressing should be found necessary before the neckband Is on, 0 stout thread should be run around the neck-line and the utmost care should be taken to work only with the grain of the goods, in order that the neck may not be stretched.

A Tailor's Device

TNHERE are many lessons in dress
 making that can be learned from
 | the tailor and his methods. One of the most valuable is to be found in study of the way in which he marks the two sides of waist or coat, so that pleats to be laid or trimming to be ap- piled shall be exactly the same in both. First, he cuts the two pieces and lays them together face to face; then he either places over them a paper pattern. which is carefully marked. or chalks the proper marks on the upper piece Then with a long double thread he takes alternately one long and two short stitches over the indicating lines. He then clips through the long stitches and proceeds to pull the two thicknesses of material gently apart. clipping each short stitch as it appears between the two. When all is done there remains on each piece a perfectly clear and true indicating line that cannot deviate in the least from the corresponding one on the other,

Let us consider the pressing of re- pairs, which must be done, of course, befoIe the gown is remodeled Ter this. d toierably heavy iron is neces- sary, and a smooth hard surface like @ bit of board or the corner of a kitchen table. Two or three thicknesses of smoothly folded old muslin js all that is necessary between tho board and the material The ordinary ironing board is not good for this purpose, because 1t IS too soft Naturally, the softer the surface upon which one irons, the more prominent will be anything that is raised, like a patch, for instance Qor which reason embroidery is always pressed upon blankeD. Therefore, as We are tfying to obliterate all traces Of dara or patch, the surface upon which il is ironed should be compara- tivell hlrd, though not hard enough to make it shiny.

 Ths sans of a skirt should be press ed' at least, before the back is closed, and If each seam Is pressed as made, it will Inc found much easier in the haull0s. It is wise, for instance, with s'Ng"ro skirt to put the breadths togotler in three twos and press each s"1m ioiore going further.
 In making a waist everything that it Is possible to press should be so treated before the under-arm sleeve is cl0sal Tho latter and the shoulder seams should be laid toward the front. as, iu the case of the shoulder, the seam material fills up any little in-

Curious, But True

N old-time seamstress is responsible A for piece of information, the
 "A truth of which has been proved. She says that in the sewing room should be kept a piece of smooth walnut board. such as table-leaf, for pressing pur- poses. If the pressing be done on this. rather than on that usually provided, no dampening will be necessary, as walnut wood absorbs sufficient moisture for the purpose, which is given out again under And no matter how much ones board ia used today, the next day the moisture will be there again just the same. Of course, if one uses discarded table, leaf one must be very careful to avoid the yarnished side.

lowed, the set of the skirt may be en- urely altered. It may be found too short all around or of uneven length. One mother is accustomed to give such orders as the following: Iron the white skirt for width, but the blue one for length" Which means that the blue one must be ironed with the grain of the goods and the white one across 1t. the white being shade long, the blue. shade short. A skirt that has shrunk in washing may often be hu- mored in this way.
 The same rule holds good with waists They can be so pressed as to be utterly

Pressing Small Pieces

 have a hot iron at hand to press small piece just at the moment one needs it, but the difficulty may be readily remedied if the material is wash goods If thoroughly wet, not dampened. and spread out on window pane, mirror or marble slab it will be dry in few mo- ments, and will not only be as smooth as if ironed. but the under side will have an actual gloss. The material should be thoroughly wet, even dripping. and should be smoothed the way of the grain. both up and down and across, with clean piece of old white muslin. If the sun be very hot one cannot use window pane, as the water dries out before one has time to make the bit stick" It will often be found con- venient to dry washed-out handker- chief on ones mirror. and if carefully folded and placed under 8 book 1t will look as well as if ironed. In fact, many women who travel carry always in their trunk a pane of glass upon which to dry a handkerchief now and again.

For Slender Women

TNHE present style of dress often
 calls for little manipulation if
 \ the slender woman is to appear to advantage. Blouses that are lined can quite easily and readily be made addi- tionally becoming by the use of rufiies arranged about the armholes. It is here that the blouse is apt to sink and so lose it's perfect outline. If bias ruffles pink ed at their edges are arranged over the lining on the inside the difficulty will be entirely overcome. These ruffles would preferably be made of taffeta, but If mercerized lining is used it can be substituted with fairly good success.

be found necessary to rip some little tacking to do this. but the result will pay for the trouble. as the garment wIll look new again.
 The girl who sews should specially learn to handle her irons well.
 If the amateur dressmaker could only be made to realize the importance of pressing her work at every slAse' first. last and all tho tine" she would never let one little point go by. Too much stress cannot be laid on doing this part of the work well, for in proper pressing often consists the onIy difference between a gown that is tailor In appearance and one that is palpably the work of a novice. Espe- cially is this the case in making over or remodcling, for a piecing wei. matched and well pressed is piecing concealed and even a darn neatly made or small patch under the arm or sleeve. if thus treated, will never be noticed,
