Attra Give Waists
Made of Remnants

One Of the most practical and at the
same time pretty fashions ever invented
Is the jumper waist. including all its modi-
hcatons. 1t is becoming to all ages and
adapts itself in some form or another to
almost every kind of material Then one
can use as much or as little goods as one
prefers, or is available with the same
happy result, for under the head of
jumper come the suspender. bib and pima
fore styles.
For these models remnants can be util-
lied that would otherwise be cast aside as
being too small for any possible use Take
the case Of the girl too young to wear a
separate skirt and waist, yet the length of
material IS just enough for the skirt. no
more. With care even the scraps will
come in for a skeleton and so save the sit
UatlOn. 1t will be only a question of TAX
ing the cuttings from the cores and ar
ranging suspsnder fashion broadcast on the
shoulders and tapering TO the belt folded
or quite plain as material allows If the
material is figured, check or plaid, then
narrow bias strappngs will be the neat st
nnlsh. The same narrow bands will con-
meet the suspenders (set on rather close
together) from about square yoke depth to
the belt, and the result will be very pref
~ bodice worn over white gumpe and
will look very much more important than
IL sounds.
Girls Of this age and older may wear the

ply piece OF the goods of a size sufficient
TO fil In the space from bust to belt from
shoulders to belt as preferred, cut out in
very deep. round yoke depth. AS this is
generally made full. either pleated gath
cred, any short strips may be joined to-
gether. cunCealng the seams under a plat
or joining the strips with a fancy stitch
or ribbon. etc. a band finishes the top of
this waist, supposing 1t reaches the Shout
ders. otherwise shoulder straps of the
fabric, ribbon or embroidery as considered
a tasteful combination is used as supports.
The bodice tapers to the waist Inc and its
outer edge is finished as fancy dictates or
the material allows. A little frill Is al
ways a pretty finish. The lower edge of the
bib joins the belt of the skirt. For all wash
goods this will be found an excellent model,
convenient and easily Numbered.
Then. surprising material is not lacking.
the jumper, as 1t is understood. is generally
becoming and always practical. The mi
kado style is the newest, and this. too,
shows variations 1t can be perfectly plain
as regards both waist and sleeves, or the
goods may be tucked. Again, the waist
may be OF one kind of fabric and the
sleeves OF something contrasting, simply
hemmed with the material of the waist
In this case. bands of lace usually form the
sleeves and a similar finish goes at the top
OF the jumper.
Another variation of this model is the
bell sleeve, cut in one with the waist. This
shows four or tVe half-inch tuCks on the
shoulders. and plain panel eflect front is
given by tuck from each shoulder to lie
belt. This is cut out in round yoke depth,
but not quite as deep as usual, and the puT
sleeves of the yoke material display them
selves below the bell sleeves
Jumpers Of linen. cashmere. or in fact
any firm goods, are. "a rule, made up
plain. the front and sleeves embroidered
appllQued and all edges finished with
scalloping This takes very little material,
and II the embroidery par, is beyond ones
skill. pretty effects may be obtained by
sewing motifs Of embroidery, connect
ing with simple stitch.
The ''p.nalore waist proper is simply
loose garment. cut out wide at the neck
for slipping the mead through, and equally
wide at the armholes. There is no full
ness whatever at the top and what there is
at the waist line is confined by a belt :
