Paris Pattern No 2142, All Seams Allowed.-This is one of the most charming designs in a separate waist that has been seen in some time. The material is soft coral-pink messaline, and the removable chemisette is of cream-coloTed filet lace. The wide bands outlining the square neck and wide armholes are of applique filet lace and the cuffs of the three-quarter length sleeves are trimmed to match.
 The pattern is in six sizes-32 to 42 inches bust measure. For 36 bust the waist requires 5% yards of ma terial 20 inches wide. four yards 27 inches wide, SIS yards 36 inches wide, or 2& yards 42 inches wide; as illus trated seven-eighths yard of all over lace Is inches wide, and 31a yards of applique band.
 To procure this pattern send 10 cents to Pattern Editor" office of this paper. Write name and address plainly and be sure to give size and number of pattern.
