FAMOUS MARY SHAW
IN A STARTLING PLAY.

."Mrs. Warren's Profession" the
great Bernard Shaw play, which ran
for so long and caused so much dis
cussion in New York, LONDON and
Paris, will be given here on Wednes-
day, February 20, with Miss Mary
Shaw and an exceptionally strong
supporting company at the Park op-
era house.
This witty Irishman does not hes
itate to call things by their night
names, and while the lesson is a bit
harsh, it nevertheless deals with the
social problem, with which everyone
is more or less familiar.
The Hon. Frank Hollins, NJ. P, at
the session of the House of Parli-
ment. held Mr.. Shaw's drama up as
an example to factory owners and
employers of young women.
Rec. Madison C.. Peters, the emil
nent New York Bryant said: Mrs.
Warren's Profession is one which
must be discussed for the good of the
nation. If we do not know the evils
of the world. how are we to fight
against them? There is more good
to be learned from witnessing the
performance of this play than could

THE HOME DREsSMAKER
Rebecca Boswell of the State College
Faculty Has Some Interesting
Suggestions for the Ladies.

Do not think it necessary to buy q
new shirtwaist pattern each season.
Buy a plain pattern of standard
make and size required. Place it on
some cheap lining material and cut
out, then carry it to a reliable dress
maker and have her fit it carefully
You will then be saved the time and
worry of fitting your waist each time,
which means much time and worry
saved to a busy housekeeper.
II tucks are desired, place them
in the material before placing pat
tern on the goods. After the waist
marking of the perforations on the
material for the plaits. Also, those
indicating the underarm, shoulder.
seam and waist line. When a waist
needs altering, the changes are made
in the shoulder seam and underarm.
When shoulder seams are desired
longer than the pattern, split pattern
through center of shoulder down to
bottom of pattern, place the two
pieces of pattern on material separ-
ating the amount required to length
en- shoulder.
If more fullness is desired at waist
line, separate pattern two or more
inches at that point.
If shoulder is to be shortened, lap
pattern instead of opening.
Back of pattern is placed the same
way.
Slash seam of neck band several
times after first seam is sewed, the
neck band will then fit much better.
Shoulder seams are stitched on
wrong side, then stitched twice on
right side with seam turned to the
front.
To arrange fullness in back of
waist, measure from neck to waist
line for length of back, then from
the two underarm seams for width
of back. Arrange fullness into a g.
inch space, stitch tape across the
fullness, allowing enough to go
around waist.
Gather top of sleeve in two rows
Always hold gathers toward you
when placing sleeve in arm eye.
The left side of the waist is turned
inside out. Bring the inside seam of
the sleeve to the notch in front, place
notch in upper part of sleeve at the
shoulder seam. Pin securely at two
points, pin the plain portion of the
sleeve smoothly into arms-eye. Draw
gathers up to fit the remaining space
and baste carefully Stitch with bias

Cuffs are cut lengthwise of mater

to gathers and another one inch be-

TO SAVE THE STOCKING OF
THE DAINTY LADY DANCER

Girls will not be half so apt to
dance holes in their delicate silk

operation permits the silk and shoe
to rub together with decidedly less
friction. and the wear is thus not so
great.
girl who wears exquisitely en-
broidered stockings with all her
party frocks and who feels distinct
grievance when holes appear has hit
upon plan that works well with her
for preserving the hosiery intact.
Her habit was to wear holes at the
back of the heel where the slipper
edge cut across.
All slippers now have a band, not
more than half an inch wide, of vel
vet. the same shade. pasted just with
in the top of the edge.
The bit does not show. and it
serves as a perfect padding to pre-
vent the thin top from cutting
through the delicate silk.
All hosiery whether for dancing
or walking. should be long enough,
though not SO long as to wrinkle over
the instep. Better that it should be
over long, however, than too short,
for the superfluous half inch can be
slowed away whereas shortness
means holes at once.
