A SMART BELT.
From the Philadelphia Press

From the Philadelphia Press
If one has pieces from q colored and
white linen frock they can be utilized
70 make one Of the new belts OF white
linen with appliques Of cOlored linen.
These belts are unlined. cut wider at
the back than IN the front ard finished
on the edge with several rows Of ma
chine stitching
Over the surface Of the linen ara scat
tered, at regular intervals, designs cut
from the colored linen. lswastikas. circles,
ovals, or diamond-shaped pieces. These
can be either basted 10 the wrong side,
the design being drawn on the right side
and buttonholed through the two mate
rials, the white linen being cut away,
or they can be bastcd on the right side
and the edges worked with a narrow
buttOnholo stitch in white, self color, or
black as preferred.
The former Is what is called inIaid
applique. and is more effective than the
work done on the outside, though the
latter is simpler and more quickly done.
The ends OF the belt are narrowed TO
points and drawn through any buckle
one happens to have. One Of enamel
the same colo: as the applique Is effec-
tive.

Dainty Chintz Corers

FTUm the Boston Herald.
Very pretty for summer are the couch
covers and bedspreads made Of English
chintZ.
For a couch OF ordinary size two strips
two yards long viii be needed.
These pieces are ordinarily sewed to-
gether, and the edges finished with a
wide hem.
A finish which gives character TO the
cover is made with a band OF plain goods
OF the predominating color Of the chintz.
1t looks best when made about four
inches wide and stitched on the same
distance from the edge. with the corners
mitered
Other dainty covers for summer rooms
are OF plain material. with a border Of
figured chintz, the chief color Of which
IS the same as that OF the material.
Still another variation Is the white
cover or spread. with a COlOred border
OF plain color or Of the figured chintz

CoRsETS IN VARIOUS NATIONS.

The American WOman's figure is not.
we are told. built upon satisfactory lines
fo= the present up-and-down fashions.
The American hip IS inclined toward the
exuberant. and grows more so with ad-
vancing years. II refuses 10 subside 70

the Philadelphia North American.
II this be true OF our own women. how
much more is il so OF the fair-faced
women Of Germany. who grow Fat be-
fore they are forty? The generous figure
is in reality more prevalent IN England
than in America, although its rotundity
IS less OF the hips and more OF an all
over sort
With these prevailing and apparent dif-
ferences in figure characteristics 1t Is
only reasonable that corsets should
boast, each one. a nationality. Now.
the German corset Is no further ad-
vanced than the English. II as far, and
England openly proclaims that her very
high-class goods in this line are from
French makers, and she does not men
ton that they are even so much as an
adaptation TO English proportions.
7 IS @ significant fact that only one
corsetmaker in England has ever won

are their own art in the exquisite COM

present disability to compete with the
durable and intensely practical American
models may mean tremendous devsl. p
ment in the American corset. With a
certain French obstinacy they have re-
fused to consider the adapting OF their
own designs 10 our needs. This they
have done IN rare instances, and happy

Because OF this Unwillingness TO ad-
