EASY TO MAR PRETTY GARMENT
Much Depends on the Fastenin9s Be-
ing Properly Arranged.

The whole appearance Of an other
wise pretty garment may be marred
il the ~fastenings are carelessly or In
correctly put on. There are many
garments which are too fine for hooks
and eyes and which are, in fact, fit
ted only for tiny buttonholes and but
tons or hooks and loops. These loops
are used both for small buttons and
for hooks and are put on the collars
of lingerie blouses, on baby clothes,
and other sheer garments. When they
are to be used for buttons they are
put at the extreme edge of a hem or
band and sometimes they are placed
on the underneath part of a hem
when it has been folded over and so
closes the opening in an invisible man
ner. They are made by arranging
loose threads of a certain length to
form a loop large enough for the but
ton to pass through. Use strong sew
ing cotton and fasten or by passing
the middle between the folds to the
edge of the band. Make 1t quite firm
by taking a scanning stitch on it and
give it q jerk to test it.. Now take a
stitch like a scanning one as far dis
tant from the first as the diameter
of the button, and draw the cotton in
to within three-quarters or half ar
inch from the first stitch. Keep this
loop around the foreinger and make
another one by taking up the frs
stitch again, which of course takes
the needle back to the right of the one
last made. Repeat this four or five
times, keeping all the loops the same
length over the finger. Let the las
stitch come on the right hand side, 81
that when the work is turned aroun
for the loop to face the worker
becomes the left hand. Holding tn
work with the loop toward the body
pass the needle under the loops wit
the point toward you and pass tn
single thread to the right under tn
needle. This will make a purled edg
at the top of the loop. Continue thi
from right to left and finish off Sc
curely. Loops for hooks are made /
a similar manner, but the strands ar
! drawn much tighter and they ar
made a quarter of an inch or so frol
the edge of the hem.

Seasons Novelty.

One of the novelties of the season is
a line of linen just inside the revers
of a Jacket, which gives it a clean and
neat appearance that nothing else so
small could possibly do. This is really
a very good idea, and one that may be
carried out in many attractive ways.
For instance, if ones suit were a plain
black and looked too dark for the sea.
son, one might easily add a little line
of cerise or megneta, which would
brighten the whole and take away that
mourning look to which SO many peo
pie object. Linen bands are especially
used on suits for girls between IL ant
IL wears.
