FOR HOME SEWING
PROPER METHOD OF CUTTING
AND DRAPING SKIRT.
Side Seam Of Great Importance If Gar.
ment Is to Look WelI-Beware Of
Having Hip Measure Too
Small.

The first side seam and the seam
next the placket show whether skirt
is cut and draped properly. The side
seam should run down in almost a
straight line from the hip to the lower
edge If it slants backward it gives
the figure the effect of fitting forward.
The seams on each side of the
placket should run in a straight
sweeping line from the waist to the
lower edge of the skirt at the back.
If they run toward the sides, very
wide, ungraceful appearance is given
the hips from the back.
Every day one sees in the streets
skirts that have this fault, the result
of incorrect fitting at the waist line.
The waist measure corresponding with
the hip measure has been too large
for the figure.
Instead of taking in more at the
dart seams, or the top of the gore
seams, it has been turned in at the
plait at each side of the placket, draw
ing the seams backward at the waist
line.
There should never be any interfer-
ence with these plaits at the back
closing. They should be carefully
marked from the pattern and pasted
to position before fitting. If they twist
or draw in any way. the correct effect
at the center back will be lost.
The fold edges of the plaits should
be stitched down few inches. and be-
low this should hang in good line close
to each other to the bottom of the
skirt, practically concealing the seam
at the center back.
A common mistake is the use of
pattern with hip measure too small.
This results in a drawing apart of the
plaits in the back from the waist
down.
Binding with bias strip of light
weight material is the usual method
OF finishing skirt seams. The impor-
tance of pressing should always be
borne in mind.
Remember that over very round
hips one or the other edge of the
seams from the hip to the waist will
sometimes seem to need to be fulled
into the other in order to make 1t hang
properly.
Gather the seam edge where the
fullness seems to be required. draw
this gathering thread TO hold the seam
TO the same length as that to which
IL is TO be Joined. then wet and shrink
the gathered edge with a hot iron.
This is an operation that needs care.
but II is most satisfactory when prop
erly done. giving a fit over the hips
that cannot be acquired in any other
way.
For a plain seven or nine-gored skirt
simple Tapped seams make a good
tailored finish. and they may lap
either toward the front or back.
They are basted in the usual seam
fashion. then both raw edges are
turned in the same direction. showing
on the outside Tapped effect or one
gore over the other. and stitched from
the outside about three-sixteenths of
an inch from the fold edge.
When the basting is removed the
Tapped edge is left free from the
stitching line.
The length Of skirt is best marked
with chalk by a second person while
the wearer- of the skirt stands on
raised platform. 4 patented marking
device. a foot measure. a yardstick or
an even length Of cardboard NAV be
used as a measure in marking at the
desired distance from the floor.

Pennington, Iowa, Jan. l7-Tonight
a crowd of men and boys went to the
home of Ed Rockwell, editor of the
Pennington Herald, and took him to
the edge of the town and gave him a
coat of tar and feathers. He was left
out in the coll but finally made his
way back to town wearing only the tar
and feathers.
Rockwell for two years has been
making attacks on local business men,
councilmen and secret lodge men, and
has brought intense dislike upon him
self. Last Wednesday he wrote a
long and Objectionable account of a
lodge initiation which created much
anger among lodge men, and it is
thought to have precipitated tonight's
action.
