must be of identical lace or material, or
they will not bear that look of relation
ship which is needful to prevent the
waist from looking like patchwork.
Sleeves in their present state of over
elaboration help to solve the problem of
their making over. This applies, of
course, chiefly to sleeves of dressy waists
and gowns. The sleeves of cloth
dresses ard suits are more severe and
require different treatment.
The sleeve decoration of an afternoon,
theater or party waist usually partakes
of the trimming characteristics of the
yoke but in the matter of shaping the
styles are unusually elastic. Some
sleeves consist of single small puff
scarcely reaching to the elbow, others
are made of succession of such puffs
joined together with lace bands. A
narrow sleeve, if sufficiently long, can
have the upper sleeve portion slit length
wise three times and gathered up to ell
bow length and joined with three bands
of heavy lace Narrow straps of ma
terial with edges turned in and stitched
make very effective over-trimming to
use across broad lace landings, or to
suggest vestee effect at front of waist
These straps should be about three
eighths of an inch wide and may be
made of either straight or bias material /;
each little strap should have small but
ton or tiny braid ornament at both ends
Very pretty braid ornaments can be
made of narrow white or colored SOU
tache braid by simply casting chain
of five stitches with an ordinary zephyr
crochet-hook, then drawing the end at
which you begin through the sixth loop;
pull both ends closely and fasten with
thread and needle before cutting off.
A lady whose daughter had grown
too tall and stout for her last years
tailored gown was enabled to widen and
lengthen it. and transformed it into an
exceptionally handsome suit by use Of
soutache braid and velvet. To do this
she opened the lengthwise seams ex-
tending from the shoulders at front and
back OF coat; into there sf, introduced
narrow gore of velveteen of the same
shade as the suit This gore of velve
teen was not over an inch wide at its
widest part, and narrowed down to half
that width at the waist line This vi
veteen strip was reinforced by lining
of canvas of the same weight as was
used for interlining the coat After
carefully basting the canvas and velve-

No. 1904 Misses yoke waist, with
long or tllree-quarter length sleeves.
Plaid silk and all-over lace are attrac-
lively combined in this smart looking
waist, and plain silk is used for the trim
ming bands or straps following the
edges OF the pointed yoke and the wrists
OF the sleeves. The straps, which are
crossed on the shoulders at the front
and back and on the sleeves, are a
charming feature o the waist giving a
decidedly chic effect Usually waits of
this style match the skirt, but they are
also properly worn with skirts of diff
ferent material.
The pattern is in three sizes, thirteen
to seventeen years. For miss of fifteen
years the waist will need three yards
of material twenty inches wide, or one
and three quarters yard thirty-six inches
wide, or one and one-h- If yard forty
two inches wide As illustrated, FIVE
eighths yard Of plain material twenty
inches wide and five -eishths yard OF all

matter OF yokes, which are cut in all
manner OF sectional devices, arabcsque
and geometrical Both yokes and sleeves
are so divided up into variously shaped
parts and pieces and the whole so v
cred I'D with fanciful ornamentation,
that one can use the smallest bits OF
the material to piece out these ornate
designs if the Jennings are covered with
mcdallions or other trimming so dis
posed as to form an artistic design.
The favorite method OF bodice trim
ming at the moment consists OF three
to five bands of black or self-colored
velvet ribbon in graduated widths across
the blouse portion, above this the blouse,
which is not cut so full as formerly, IS
gathered with several rows of shirring
to the lower edge of rounding yoke,
which has a U-shaped dip at center
front This yoke can be made of tucked
chiffon, with tucks placed either length
wise or crosswise. or it may be of all
over Valenciennes or pretty baby Irish
lace, or with the side portions and back
of tucks, and the center IRON the neck
beginning at the point E; the shoulder
seam and extending to the edge of the
U-shaped curve, may be of lace; or the
U-shaped portion be covered with a
large round. oval or crescen. .aped me
da on of heavy lace or silk einbroid-
cred chiffon The entire yoke may be
outlined with crescent or other shaped
medallions that lend themselves grace
fully to the design.
Many a home dr. s. aker who is
fussing over the refurbishing Of a dressy
waist would draw ono sigh of relief
if she could see the r c q SEEM
ingly incongruous materials md orna-
mentation which the expensive waists
displayed in Fifth Avenue shop win
dows show. INDEED, one sees as many
as six kinds Of lace I'd embroider on
a single bodice, and not infrequently the
very richest single no.,er motifs in
handmade lace are posed in high relief
upon background of all-over Valen-
ciennes.

point to look for and nick up bargains

Husband and Wife.

The best husband is the philosopher
who knows how to accommodate himself
to conditions.
The best wife is she who has learned
mutual concessions are better than
grand principles.
The best husband is a diplomat, who,
whatever he thinks Of the government,
serves his queen
The best wife is she who gives queen
to serve
The best husband is he that does what
ne wants but always makes his wife
think that she inspires his wishes.
The best wife is she who, whatever
she knows, is content to ask and receive
only his higher nature, and does not
wreck the ship if another woman re-
ceives his lower,
lhe best husband should keep:
lhe tenderness of a lover;
