sure to be in plain tailored finish,
unadorned by any sort of tucking.
A small pocket on the left side, or
on both sides, is sometimes added
to relieve the plainness. This is a
very simple piece of work, the
pocket section being first neatly
finished at the top, then turned un-
der at the other edges, and basted
to position, and stitched in the
machine.
Different styles of sleeves are ap-
propriate for it, for while the regular
shirt waist sleeve is preferred by
many for tailored shirt-waists, the
plain lego mutton has come to be
popular for every style of waist.
The Dutch collar is popularity
worn with practically every style of
waist, a great deal of ingenuity and
taste being displayed in the differ
ent styles of Dutch collars prettily
trimmed with various laces and in
sertions.
Among the most practical of skirt
styles Is the seven gored skirt. For
that reason, it is one of the skirts
, most frequently selected by the
woman who has to weigh we'll the
pros and CO.'S regarding serviceable-
ness, before she decides on a style.
This is true of most of the skirts
having fewer cores, the four, FIVE
and six gored skirts. They wear
well and they call for less scanning
in the making.
! The problem of keeping the little
folk in clean and misunderstanding
garments involves a constant re-
plenishing of their wardrobes.
Wash suits are worn by them all
the year round, but when summer
approaches, larger supply of new
ones has to be provided than at any
other time of the year. Then, the
most practical styles from the point
of view Of the dressmaker as well as
of the garments serviceableness are
he styles chosen by the mothers.
A material that will launder we'll
and will take good many launder-
ings is the one that is chosen. For
style, the simpler the cut, and
the fewer the seams, the more the
garment recommends itself. One
does not look for novelty in partic-
ular so much as for attractiveness
and comfort.
A familiar style for a boys suit
is the style consisting of a blouse
and knickerbockers. This model
may be used over and over again,
developed from different trimmings
with resultant different-looking gar
ments. Galatea, as everybody
knows, is one of the most service
able materials for suit of this sort,
and it is generally trimmed with
rows of braid. A belt of the same
material trimmed with braid may
be used, or the bright black leather
belt. Contrasting colors, blue and
red and white are combined in
different ways in these suits. The
suit of all white is really quite as
practical as colored suit, and is
very pretty indeed.
The regulation shirt for men as
turned out by the careful home
seamstress is naturally superior
garment to the ready-made one pur
chased at exactly the same expend-
iture. There is nothing very fear
some and mysterious about the max
ing of a mans shirt. Like the max
ing of woman's tailored shirt
waist, it requires accuracy and neat
ness in the cutting Of the pieces and
in the basting and stitching of
seams. Any woman who is ac-
customed to consider these details
in her sewing can he confident that
she can herself turn out a thorough
" Yell.made shirt.
