wives in Mrs. Temples Telegram"
az the Avenue Theatre this week. The
main point. however is that It is one
or the funniest farces Of recent years
and Keeps everybody roaring from
start TO finish. 1t has proved to be the
most clever bill put on By the Conness

husband stays out all night, and, hav-
Ing previously used the real reason,
the stopping OF a Ferris Wheel as an
excuse, invents another. that he stay
ed all night at a friends house in the
suburbs, missed the last train and 80

gives name and address, and TO find
out the rights and wrongs Of the case.
Mrs. Temple sends a telegram. This
message is the means Of launching
three families on a sea of trouble and
the audience on a sea OF laughter.

If yeIr material is heavy. secure
a piece of transfer or impression
paper. Lay it. face down. upon this;
then draw over each line of the
paper design with hard pencil or
the point .; steel knitting needle.
Upon lifting the pattern and trans
fer paper you will find neat and
accurate impression of the design
upon your material.
There are two points to observe
III this simple process, l. you would
execute it satisfactorily. One is,
see that your material is level-cut
and folded by a thread-and that
your design is placed upon it evenly
at every point.
The second is, when placed accu-
rately, secure the design to the ma
terial with thumb tacks or pins SO
that they cannot slip during the
operation.
Transfer paper comes in white,
black, blue. red and yellow. | ad-
wise the use of the lighter colors
when possible, as the black and blue
are so liable to crock
Do not rest your hand or fingers
upon any part of the design you are
transferring, else the imprint of
hand or fingers will be as distinct
upon the material as the drawn
lines of the design.

A Room Divided

TN A HOME that offered but one long

= tiers in the family a partition was
put up by feminine hands. Framework.
ordered in lengths. was sawed into accu-

paper and nailed up TO form screen.
This was then covered on each SIDE
with lowered chintz TO correspond with
the room decorations. Ii reached from
one side wall to within three feet OF the
opposite wall, leaving two almost sepa-
rate apartments. with an open doorway
between.
The permanent partition has been ac-
complished with less effort by the use
of a bamboo porch screen, which con-
yerted one half of mothers long bed
room into sitting room. thus leaving
the bedroom section more secluded
The porch screen Is now made OF diff
ferent materials and Is yariously col
ored 1t is, therefore, possible to find
the sort that will harmonize with many
different rooms.

Is Chiffon Expensive?

TT is most opportune time to CON-
slider chiffon from several view
= points, since il Is a material to be
much used in the near future. The
blouse will demand but a single layer
over silk, but it will be doubled. or even
trebled, for gowns ir order to gain
certain iridescent. or rainbow. effect.
People have chatted and argued about
the value of chiffon CLOTH commenting
en- both its wearing quality and its
actual price.
Chiffon cloth. in truth. is a safe in
vestment, and has no peculiarities. II
is all it seems to be. 1t will neither
wear stringy nor wear out, but will
hold its own, as tulle will not.
1t is pressa BILE. and may therefore be
restored occasionally to an almost ac-
tual newness OF appearance. Its dura-
bility is unequaled by any fabric OF like
delicacy. 1t has a remarkable tough
ness Of thread, which keeps it from pull
ing at the seams. and a smoothness OF
surface which sheds the dust.
BY the actual yard, chiffon cannot bs
said to be expensive, considering its
silken fabric and its width: but. while
liberal number of actual inches go to
make up this width, its soft filminess
creates a necessity for generous
allowance to each gown. so that there
cannot be a consequent saving of actual
yards, as Is the case with broadcloth.
The habit of making the chiffon gown
over silk is in itself an expensive one.
and the late fashion for putting several
layers Of different-colored chiffons In
one robe brings up the expense consid-
erably.
Now the making has not yet been con-
sidered. and it is fact. and not fiction,
that materials of this character are not
possible to any but the most expert OF
professionals. unless it be the rarest
exception among amateurs. The dress
maker who Is not habitually handling
chiffons will not make success of the
gown or blouse, and. on the whole.
there is small ground for arguing that
chiffon is other Than luxury.
Now. on the other nand, the gown OF
good chiffon cloth at a comparatively
high total is a paying investment il
will serve as dinner and a dancing
frock, and II will long outwear the fash
ion of its making. 1t has untold posi-
bilitieS for beauty, not alone in its drap-
ing, but in its iridescence, which may
be brought about in marvellous tones by
the careful combination of such shades
as pale yellow over violet, with both Of
these colors reflected in its trimming.

Oatmeal Cloth

LST Hnsn The excess OF elegance
mas been reached in materials for
women's clothes we are turned
hastily about and asked to face the
coarsest OF plain surfaces with common
place, homely names. 1t is, however. q
relief 10 be introduced to these more
domestic fabrics.
we are positively glad to be told that
chlldren's coats for seaside and noun
tain wear may be made of plain red
nannei. and that fashionable clothes for
domestic-sounding stuffs as oatmeal
cloth and workhouse sheeting.
These materials have followed close
on the heels of hopsacking. which
makes its appearance at regular inter.

Buttons and Buttonholes

TIME huge. marble-shaped GRO
cheted button is something of a
problem in the matter of its laun-
dering as well as its buttonholes. AS to
the latter. they are only the simulated
sort. for the real buttonhole would be Of
such huge proportions as to pull out OF
shape and appear a crooked slit In the
goods.
The simulated buttonholes of a late
French model consisted OF two exag-
gerated rows Of solid embroidery carried
two inches beyond each button. they
were heavy with padding and formed in
themselves the trimming of the dress.
The large buttons. used only as a dec
grafton. had been provided with shanks
made of buttonholed loops Of coarse
linen thread. These were slipped
through eyelet holes in the dress and
fastened beneath. until "washday." with
metal rings.
This fastening method may be applied
to many non-Washable covered buttons
and to those covered with white braidS
which can be laundered II removed and
shaken in q Jar Of soapy borax water,
but not subjected to . dashboard or .
machine.
