Col. Hepburn to institute contest"

When making a shirtwaist always
press the paper pattern to have every
portion perfectly straight n see that
the material is smooth. Lay the pat
tern on the material to make sure you
have enough goods. The amateur must
learn to weave as she sews-in other
words, eontrive with pattern and ina
terial to get a big waist out of a little
piece Of goods. This is a sewing secret
and a money saving idea. 1t can be
done and yet one must follow the lincs
and see that the patterns are placed
on the up and down of the goods. The
goods for a shirtwaist had best be
folded end to end and not side by side.
To avoid making two pieces alike al
ways fold the goods with the wrong
sides together. A mistake cannot be
made if this is done. Cut the front
portions first, then the sleeves, unfold
the material and look for q piece sufIl-
GENTLY large for the back. If it must
be pieced, let it come in the centre and
side with a double plait and finish with
plaits or tucks on each side. But try
10 have the back like the pattern-cut
on the double of the material. Shorten
a sleeve by making a tuck in the mid
die of the pattern, otherwise the top or
bottom would lose its shape. Basic
the fronts to the back and try on the
garment. When it fits. sew just inside
the hastings on the right side of the
material. Cut the seams very close to
the lines of stitching, turn the garment
and press with a warm iron, first
slightly dampening each seam. Next
make a narrow seam along each line,
taking care to leave enough material
on the edge so the stitching is COM
pletely hidden on the under side. This
gives the French seam finish shown in
.ready-made waists and does away with
rough seams. Never stretch the arm
holes or collar to make them fit. Cut
sparingly from the edge. always on the
under side of the armholes so as not to
destroy the length of the shoulder line.
The inside seam of a sleeve is placed
two inches in front of the underarm
seam. Remember it, for it is the sure
rule for getting the sleeves in straight.
These are simple rules, yet they con-

ROPE VAULTING.

about eight feet high. On one side of
each of these drive small nails a little
way into the wood, about IN inch apart,
leaving the head and bou half the
nail sticking our. Leave W feet of one
end of your pole or strip Of wood free
from nails.
With a sharp stake make two holes
in the ground beneath The tree limb
that is to hold your rope. Make these
holes about six feet apart and about
eighteen inches deep Now put your
posts into the holes and drive them
firmly in place with the nails pointing
the same way on both poles. Get a
thin lath or slender stick long enough
to reach between the posts and light
enough to rest on the nails.
Now climb up into the limb of the
tree and tie your rope irmly in place
on the bough just over the centre Of The
posts, The rope should reacn within
two feet Of the ground.
Now stand a few feet away from the
crosspiece. swing yourself toward il.
