an exact pattern of the lining with the
shoulder seams closed. This pattern
must include both the front and back
and be in one piece.
To make this pattern it is necessary
to open the underarm seams and the
dart seams of the fitted lining (taking
the precaution to mark the fitted stitch
ing lines with the tracer or with colored
thread). Stitch the shoulder seams
and press fiat. Then spread the whole
lining smoothly upon a large sheet of
medium weight MANILA paper, fasten
flat to a board with thumb tacks and
mark all the seams, with the exception
of the darts, with the tracer, taking
particular care to mark the shape and
| depth of the yoke trimming at both front
and back. Trace the neck shape care
| fully and mark the edge of the back
closing, also mark hem allowance for
the edge of the back closing.
After removing the lining from its
paper duplicate mark the centre of the
| front on the paper from top to bottom
with a soft-pencil or crayon, also mark
the outline of yoke tracing i'll the same
way; so that it may be visible through
the transparent material which is to
form the yoke design.
Upon this paper model haste the all
over lace or fine tucking you wish to use
for the yoke foundation, being careful
to observe that the centre of the lace or
tucking comes exactly over tile 1ine
marking the centre of the front and
neck.
The yoke portion may be made OF
half a yard of eighteen inch all-over
lace with round and crescent shaped
medallions of silk, linen, or lace as
shown in the illustration, or it may be
made Of tucked chiffon OF lowered net
with flower motifs in heavy Point
Venise or Irish Lace to give distinction
The fashions in trimmings and garni-
lures for these smart waists are SC
elastic that one frequently sees a ming
ling of two or three kinds of lace, and
mixtures of cream and white, ecru and
white, and black and white upon the
same waist.
Dainty entredoux of hand run tucks
form quaint designs in arabesques
squares, diamonds, ova1s and square
shaped insets, outlined with lovely valen-
ciennes insertions and frills.
| There is no end to the devices that
these seemingly intricate yoke designs
can be fashioned into. A look through
the scrap bag and through the laces
which ornament cast off garments, is
apt to disclose many unsupported treas
ures in the shape of designs that may be
cut out of worn laces CATER cleaning
them) and used with frills of narrow
valenciennes to give distinction and tone
to a stunning evening waist.
After you have pinned the lace and
medallions or other decorations to the
special pattern in design that pleases
your sense of the artistic, these should
be firmly basted to the paper to prevent
shifting. Do not cut out the neck shape
until the outside material is fully ready
for the draping, otherwise you run thu
risk of stretching the neck out of shape

Dressmakng and Home Sewing Lesson No. Two.
By M1NNA S. CRAWFORD.

The preceding lesson was devoted to
the proper method of cutting and fitting
a lining for a dressy bodice or shirt
waist. This lesson will tell how to sew
hooks and eyes on correctly and how to
design original and artistic effects in
waists
SEWING ON HOOKS AND EYES.
The lining is now ready for the hooks
and eyes. There are many new-fang-
led and patented hooks-and-eyes on the
market; but for a tight-ftting lining
the oldtime plain No. 3 hooks and
eyes, put on alternately, as shown in the
illustration, are perhaps the most salts
factory.
While it cannot be denied that hump
hooks are more desirable for closing
loose fitting garments than the plain
hooks, the plain hooks have the advan-
tage of being easier to fasten and I'M
fasten than those with humps

The proper aVay TO seq hooks and
eyes to a tight-ftting lining
By alternating the hooks and eyes,
their aggravating tendency to unlock
themselves whilst being hooked is pre-
vented. The tautness of the tight-ftting
lining holds them firmly once they are
hooked.
Spread the shank of the plain hook
when sewing on; this prevents the hook
from slipping and holds it on until the
waist is worn out.
Sew the hooks with strong waxed
thread or twist to- the two rows of
stitching, as shown in the illustration.
This stitching reinforces the edge and
also serves as guide in sewing the
hooks and eyes on correctly; that is,
with the eyes extended beyond the edge
and the hooks set back trihe, so that
when the waist is hooked up, the edges
will just meet.
Do not sew sideways through the loops
of either the hooks or eyes, but directly
from the back. Place at least a dozen
stitches in each loops, and do not have
the hooks and eyes more than an inch
apart; a separation of half an inch is
even better i'll very tight lining.

Mrs. Miller

and Now Employs Nearly One Hun
bred Clerks and Stenographers.

Until few years ago Mrs. Cora B. Miller lived in a
manner similar to that of thousands of other very
poor women of the average small town and village.
She now resides in her paatal brownstone resi-
dence and is considered of the most successful
business women in the United States.
Several years ago Mrs. Miller learned of mild and
simple preparation that cured herself and several
friends of female weakness and piles. She be-
sieged by many women needing treatment that she
decided to furnish It to those who might call for it.
She started with only few dollars capital and the
remedy possessing true and wonderful merit, pro-
ducing many cures when doctors and other remedies
failed. the demand grew rapidly she was several
times compelled to seek larger quarters She now
occupies of the city's largest office buildings,
which she owns and almost one hundred clerks and
stenographers are required to assist in this great

turn-in for hems A few tucks at each
side of the back, extending from the
waist line up for about four inches will
take away the look of plainness.
If the waist is of silk or Crepe de
chine, or any other than wash material,
and the yoke garniture of such nature
that machine stitching will not be out of
place, you may stitch the medallions,
etc, right through and fast to the paper,
which will be found much easier than
sewing them by hand or, when separated
from the paper foundation. The paper
can be torn away after stitching.
After removing the seamless yoke de-
sign and material from the paper, all
the superfluous material under the vari-
GUS medallions, and other entredoux en-
ployed should be carefully cut away,
and the edges overcast on the wrong
side to keep the designs from pulling
apart.
The inside of the transparent yoke
should then be covered with a single or
double thickness of white mousseline de
sole or firm chiffon; this will protect
the yoke from soil and gives peculiar
ly soft effect to the skin. Basic this
chiffon interlining firmly to the lower
edge of yoke SO that it will be caught in
the stitching when the material is sew
ed to the lining
The neck may now be trimmed to
shape, the back edges of the waist and
yoke turned in and henlmed or faced.
and the collar attached before basting
the outside of waist to the lining. The
collar is usually designed to harmonic
with the yoke in material and effect. 1t
should not be stitched fast until the
waist has another try-on to see if it
sets correctly.
ATTACHING THE WAIST TO THE LINING.
You may now cut away the yoke por-
ton of the lining, carefully following
the traced lines. Finish the edge with a
neat bias facing and trim with a ruffie
of narrow lace, being careful to avoid
stretching the edge out of shape.
Now place the lining, right side up,
flat on the board and arrange the out
side material upon it, carefully matching
edge to edge and seam to seam, leaving
the lower edge of front open in order
to take up The darts in lining and to at
tach the rifles for a slender figure.
After this the underarm seams may be
basted and the waist given a trial fitting
before machining the seams and putting
in the sleeves.
