Work a fancy stitch with colorcd SILK

The best method of putting OF fas-
tenels is to sew them strongly To a
stout piece of silk tape. hcmming these
strips of tape closely to opening after
all the pressing is done. The fasten-
ers are apt to make shiny places when
pressing is done after they are in place.
When the belt is of silk i; should be

size of the waist. This allow, for

The joining of nounce to skirt is a.

finding one measuring two inches wide,
the letter choice-it will be found wise
to place the belt around the waist first,
then pin the skirt to it, rather than
basting. and then trying on. because in,
this way the skirt may be raised or.
lowered according to the figure or
slight peculiarities of the wearer. .
There are few figures so perfect that
no alterations are necessary. In the
event of n plain flaring foundation;
skirt being chosen and no ruffle. then;
1t should be interlined with a thin
haircloth or the featherbone that comes
for the purpose, otherwise the outer;
skirt will fall in around the feet. The
seams being carefully stitched and
pressed on the skirt proper. the belt
should be adjusted. marking it with
colored cotton exactly at this point to
be pinned to the center of the front

One word about princess and tho
ordinary skirts. They have widened
around their lower edge until they
measure from -four yards and a half to
five yards and a half. 1t is. therefore,
necessary to pay strict attention to
the tapping of the fullness so that It
hangs as 1t should.
