HOW TO BONE A COLLAR.
Framework Of Whalebone Will Give
Best Results.

Bones play an important part in
dress-making nowadays, and especial
ly in waists, girdles and collars. AS
the collars must be high now, it is
necessary to bone them to make them
stand up. The collars of the lingerie
waists and of all dressy waists are
higher just behind the ear, where they
slope upward slightly. Featherbone
is largely used, and it is easy to han
die, as it requires no covering except
at the ends. Stitches may be taken
through it at any point and last but
not least. it is inexpensive.
The best and cleverest way to bone
a collar is to cut the whalebone into
the proper lengths for collar supports.
Five pieces of bone are necessary for
the. average collar, two for under the
chin, which should be about two or
21s inches apart at the base of the
collar and slant until they are an inch
farther apart at the top of the collar.
These two bones are about half an
inch shorter than the two which
should be put underneath and little
behind the ear.
The collar must be tied ON 10 deter
mine the proper position for these.
The fifth bone is the same height as
the two front bones, and is to be put
in the middle of the back of the collar.
These bones are not to be sewed di
rectly TO the collar, but are to be
sewed to little framework collar
made Of tapes. A piece of tape which
just fits comfortably but snugly around
the base of the neck forms the bot.
tom of the framework, and for the top
a piece of tape which is trifle lar
ger than is necessary for comfort
is chosen. These pieces Of tape are
Joined together by six pieces of tape.
Two in the front in exactly the same
position which the featherbone is to
occupy, and two under the ears and
two at each end. These six pieces
should be made of two pieces of tape

To Make Arms Piumn.

Thc;e are many good roads which
lead TO making thin arms plump. and
probably one of the most commonly
trod OF these is the daily massaging
OF the arms with olive oil. Massage
the arms gently and work the sweet
olive oil thoroughly into them. The
arms must be exercised also. Seat
yourself at table and lay the fore
arms on it with the palms of the
hands touching tho table. Without lift
ing the palms from the table, brisll'y
raise and spread all the fingers.
