THE BEST WAY TO FIT A SHIRT WAIST
Sevaral nice points there are in
the fitting of shirtwaist or blouse
that every home sewer does not
know and many dressmakers neg
lect. Almost invariably, after the
seams of shirtwaist have been put
together with a fair degree of ac-
cnracy, the novice makes either of
two mistakes if not both: she bast-
es the collar and blouse together in
a seam which is wrong or she tries
to fit the sleeve before the collar is
fastened on. This last is not
possible.
The blouse should be put on the
wearer, or on a figure, with the
seams basted only. A 'neckband or
collar, finished at its lower edge
and of the correct length, should be
laid over the blouse and around the
neck then carefully pinned fast so
that there are no Fuckers in the
blouse. With the garment now in
hand, the collar is basted exactly as
it was pinned and the sleeve is bast-
ed in.
1t should now be tried on with
shoulder seam still only basted
collar basted on and sleeve basted
in, so that the fit of all three may
be proved or altered before any of
the final sewing be done. The reas-
on for doing this all together is be-
cause either collar or sleeve may de-
stroy the fit of the other.
Another nice point so often over
looked is certain length of line
under the arm. The most fashion
ably gowned women demand to be
allowed to turn on the gas, they,
presumably have found it inconveni-
ent to be disabled by their simplest
of blousos.
To gain this length, two things
are necessary: do not cut out the
armhole too much under the arm,
and when the tape measure is plac-
ii around the waist to determine
the waist line, lower it little bit
md let the wcarer-tO-be reach up |
prove whether or not the under
,rm seam is long enough between
sleeve and belt.

THE people of this country are lust
as particular now in collecting exam.
pies of art as are Europeans. In pur-
chasing valuable art objects they show
remarkable experience and wisdom.
The collections in this country now
include some Of the rarest and richest
examples Of art in existence. and En-

glance to betray less intelligence than
the jellyfsh. Up with the tide and

this or that current, moving with the
eddy Of a backwater hither and thith.
er, the ~jellyfsh has become almost a
synonym for helplessness.
Scientifically, of course. the pop.
ular idea of the jellyfsh is wholly
mistaken; but it is perhaps only in
tropical waters that he is found in the
perfection of intelligence. In the
South Pacific, around the islands of
Polynesia, and as far south as the
upper portion of the North island Of
New Zealand there is a jellyhsh who
not only knows where he wants to go
but Is even provided with a sail which
he can and does hoist or lower at
will. The sail. like the rest of this
curious animal, is almost transpar-
ent, but unlike the body of the fish,
which is of the usual gelatinous con
struction. the sail is a membrane al
most as hard as she'll.
Roundabout the Ellice group the
navigating fish is often found with a
sail measuring five inches across, and

Most men who parade the streets

has walked three or four miles in the
