FADS FOR WOMEN.

When the neckband of shirt waist is
too large, instead of pinning 1t over to fit
the collar fancy neck dressing. make
the band At properly, for it is easy to do,
consisting of ripping the band from the
front edges to the shoulder seams. This
done, it is easy to discover whether the
waist can be drawn up and the fullness
run into the shoulder seam. One-quarter
inch taken from the backs and fronts will
make the band meas sure one inch less. If
the fit is smooth on the shoulders and the
seams cannot be opened, then run quar-
ter-inch tuck on either side of the front
closing and replace the band.
The fascinating little boleros seen in
the shops marked at such high prices
may be made at home by even all ordi-
nary needlewoman, and, incidentally,
much money will be saved
Quite IA number of the new models show
this accessory either in effect or as a sep
arate garment. and If this part of the
gown can be fashioned for the dressmaker
her charges will be considerably lessened.
One must buy pattern either traced
for working, or the paper pattern and de-
sign separately. Then decide upon the
material and the decoration. Net, thin
silk and velvet are used for the founda-
ton: braid and embroidery for the trim
ming.
One' and one-half yards of wood brown
henrietta at 90 cents yard and a rem
nant of pretty brown and cream plaid tai
feta, three-fourths Of one yard, costing 30
cents, were responsible for smart little
frock for girl of six years.
The silk was used for a panel down the
front, the belt, the band cuffs and the
flat piped band that furnished the Dutch
round neck.
There was a long French body made
with three side pleats on each shoulder
Joined to a short killed skirt hemmed on
the bottom). under the belt, and the cuffs
confined bishop sleeves. All the plaid
was cut on the bias.
Many Of the newest cloth gowns are
made with big square revers. but they
are not stiff. They are merely shaped
pieces of the material, allowed to fall
away from the V-shaped neck.
Children's and infants garments copy
the empire and moyen-age effects. and
frequently the latter look much better
upon small girls of four than upon large
ones of forty.

Down in Cairo the newspapers,
especially The Bulletin, are making a
hard fight against official corruption
and are receiving some severe criti-
cism from persons who appear to
have been stepped on. That is what
to expect every time newspaper
with courage and self respect starts
to throw the spotlight on abuses.
Usually the newspaper is left to fight
the battle alone, but in this case
some of the Cairo ministers have
espoused the cause of the editors A
newspaper that tries to please every.
body all of the time never amounts
TO much. A good newspaper always
has some enemies, because it picks
ont what appears to be the right
course and sticks to it unless it
learns that it is on the wrong track.

to make a much better case against
