today rendered her financial and financie

In straitened circumstances, the local
lodge of Elks took charge of the drowned

funeral arrangements. For q time this
morning there was considerable contro-

should hold the scheduled benefit perform

funds to purchase life saving. equipment
Finally, however, it was decided that the

This plan was deemed by the life saving
corps the more practical way of showing
their respect to the memory of their dead
comrade. Petitions to help the widow out

retary, E. Fl. Van Siddert, to demand

The directors hushed the matter up
at that time, hoping to avoid scandal.
Recent events brought on the decis-

tion and she decided to leave
There was no one in charge of the
hospital last night, and none of the
directors would discuss the situation.
Mrs. Hopkins came here from Los An

The manner of sewing on the hooks
and eyes adds so much to the general
appearance of a garment that too much
stress cannot be laid upon the impor-
tance of doing the work right.
By reversing the edge of the hem, and
turning it over the lower portion of the
hooks and loops Of the eyes as sho7Un
in the illustration, the edge will be neat
ly and smoothly finished.
Should the inturn of the lining, after
fitting, be too scant to supply its own
hem or facing, take bias strip of the
lining and place the edge of it under the
inturn in such manner that it will be
included in both rows of stitching. This
will supply the facing
Where fitted Innings are made of very
soft or loosely woven silks, it is adj
visable to reinforce and strengthen the
front edges with n single or double strip
OF inch wide bias crinoline and basting
it just inside the tracing line which
marks the front edges. This will hold
the hooks and eyes without the stitches
appearing on the right side.
THE DESIGNING OF A FANCY WAIST
To make a special seamless yoke de-
sign for a fancy waist that opens at the
back, is very simple matter once you
know how
The first thing to be done is to secure
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1907-04-04

When the yoke design is completed,
arrange the material OF the waist proper
over the front and back. A. good plan
is to place from six to eight short small
tucks in the centre and at each side of
the front to throw slight fullness over
the bust. Do not make too full, unless
YOU are very slender as the old time
pouched blouse is entirely out of date
Most blouses seen in the exclusive
shops have no more fullness than is
made by the omission of the darts in
the outside material. Formerly the out
side blouse material was cut consid-
erably wider and fuller than the lining,
this is no longer the case, and the fronts
are drawn down quite faulty from the
high bust to the slightly s1oping waist
line.
The upper edge of the front material
should be arranged and basted on the
paper in such manner that the lower
edge of the yoke trimming when stitched
through will hold it in place The ma
terial can then be cut to the shape of
the pattern.
The material for the back of the waist
need not be tucked at the top unless so
preferred. 1t should be placed with the
straight or selvage edge of the goods
along the edges of the centre back and
cut wide enough to allow the necessary

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 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 It's
paper duplicate mark the centre of the
front on the paper from top to bottom
with soft pencil or crayon, also mark
the outline of yoke tracing in the same
way; so that it may be visible through
the transparent material which is TO
form the yoke design.
Upon this paper model baste 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 the Jine
marking the centre of the front and
neck
The yoke portion may be made of
half yard of eighteen inch all-over
lace with round and crescent shaped
medallions of silk, linen, or lace as
shown i'll the illustration, or it may be
made of tucked chiffon or lowered net
with flower motifs in heavy Point
Venise or Irish Lace to give distinction.
The fashions i'll trimmings and garni-
lures for these smart waists are so
elastic that one frequently sees 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, ovals 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 unsuspected treas
ures in the shape OF designs that may be
cut out Of worn laces (after cleaning
them) and Used with frills of narrow
valenciennes TO give distinction and tone
to 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

The proper 7oay TO sea- hooks and
eyes to a tight-fHng lining.
BY alternating the hooks and eyes,
their aggrayating tendency to unhook
themselves whilst being hooked is pre-
vented. The tautness of the tight fitting
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 a guide in sewing the
hooks and eyes on correctly; that is,
with the eyes extended beyond the edge
and the hooks set back trne, 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 in a very tight lining.
