FOR AUTUMN WEAR
HEAVIER DRESS MATERIALS DIS
TiNcTLY ADVISORY.
Foulards and Voiles Seem to Fill the
Bill Better Than the Lighter
Stuffs Come in All
Shades Of Coiors.

When replenishing the wardrobe at
this time Of year. it is we'll to select
materials that will not be too thin to
wear as autumn days approach.
Usually the linens-the coat and
skirt suit and the jumper dress-are
still at TO wear. while the frocks that
seem to suffer most in summer time
are the sheer lawns and dimities that
are used for afternoon festivities and
Sunday go-to-meeting occasions.
Ones wardrobe usually contains
three or four OF these gowns. and they
are the most charming and dainty
things imaginable. but toward Septem-
Der there grows a need for something
fresh, something appropriate for after
Moons and evenings that seems to
breathe of autumn
In selecting such a gown choose a
material that is soft. yet not so pliable
that II is almost impossible for The
home dressmaker to manage.
A good material for such gown IS

Hints for Those Who Enjoy Making
Artificial Petals.

Artificial flowers IN silk are quickly
made. but require a light. artistic
touch. and sure eye For making a
rose five inches in diameter about so
inches Of tareta or soft satin Will
have to be cut on the bias carefully.
so as to produce. when the various
pieces are sewn together. a band four
inches vide and three and one-Quarter
yards long Fold il into two; this
strip Is slightly gathered along the
raw edges into scallOps. which are
further defined by the cutting out into
shape of the border just a little below
the thread. There are no petals. The
modelling is executed in the same way
as in crepe flowers, with a single
piece of some shiny material, which
IS more attractive than duh fabrics.
Now a three-yard band has to be
twined into rows Of waves round a
heart, bought ready made or made at
home out of a piece Of cotton wool
covered with the silk. and secured to
thin wire. such as is used by florists.
In this def turning of the hand TO
simulate the petals Of a real blossom
lies the art Of the modeler.
A calyx is added when the flower Is
intended to ornament a vase. but IL is
dispensed with for a hat or dress
trimmings. in which case the center
at the back is filled and made neat
by silk waiter being put on. across
which are fixed two wire stems or
stalks, tipped at either end with
green leaves projecting effectively all
around the brilliant blossom.
Clever workers occasionally do some
striking shading, which has to be de-
cided on when cutting out the band
from either single piece or several,
according to the scheme Of shading
contemplated.
On a smaller scale snowy Carna-
tons for home decoration are made
with plain or shaded baby ribbon,
with picot edges tastefully gathered
into scailoped petals round a small
heart or roll Of baby ribbon fastened
to wire wrapped with green silk
paper and threaded with a calyx.
Green ribbon is used. for the leaves.
A medium-sized carnation takes four
