Even the school girl and the young

Hon. to Make the Capes Decreed
By Dame Fashion for This Season

could be easier2 And If the following
directions are accurately followed the
result cannot help but be satisfactory
even to the most fastidious, says the
writer in the Philadelphia Press.
When the material employed is
see that the goods Ia properly ~sponged.
That the material should go through
this process is most necessary. Not
only does 1t prevent shrinking after the
garment is sponged. but 1t keeps 1t
from spotting, and 1t Is most necessary
to guard against the latter, II one
wishes the cape to appear we'll SO long
AS It lasts.
This work can generally be arranged
for without extra cost when purchasing
the goods, but should this not be pos
sible, it can be done at home with very
little trouble. When the material is of
double width let 1t remain with the
original fold down the centre. and place
between IL a piece Of wet muslin that
entirely cover one side of the goods.
The Importance of having the muslin
thoroughly wet must not be overlooked.
for il 1t is only dampened it will not
sufficiently wet the goods. The cloth
should then be rolled tightly, with the
muslin between, and laid away for eight
or ten hours. When this time has
elapsedo the cloth should be hung on a
line in the opel air to dry.
II the color Is OF a delicate tint, it
must be shielded from the direct rays
of the sun, or it may fade. At this
point it is not necessary to press 1t, as
1t will be necessary to do SO when the
cape is finished, and if you a been
careful to keep the goods nice and
smooth, while shrinking, 1t will not be
difficult to work on.
A good pattern secured, the next step
is to find a large fiat surface, or which
the goods a be placed for cutting.
An extension table will serve the pur-
pose admirably. OF if that cannot be
procured, a bed sheet or a large sheet
of heavy paper can be pinned tightly

Both of them were spendthrifts, as
far as that goes. Mrs. Vernon was a
beautiful young woman and much ad-
mired."
And a little gay, p~erhaps?'
mot that l ever heard" responded
Sir Percy coolly, looking Lord Baude-
sert in the eye. ut would be hard to
believe that General Talbott's daugh-
ter were not everything she should be.
He Is, / think, altogether the finest
man I ever knew
Lord Baudesert, with a catholic in
terest in beauty, asked:
You sew Mrs. Vernon this afternoon.
Is she still beautiful"
Sir Percy paused before answering
this question.
Eyes. she is still beautiful, but she is
no longer a girl, of course. II you Will
excuse me now, I Will join my aunt in
the drawing-room."
Sir Percy went from bad to worse
because as soon as he appeared in the
drawing-room Mrs. Vereker and the
three girls fell upon him like playful
sheep and began to ask him all manne
of questions about Alicia Vernon. Was
she q great beauty, as Mrs. Vereker
had heard, and vas h going to marry
somebody else, nov that Guy Vernon
was dead? Jane wished to know how
Mrs. Vernon dressed her hair. Sarah
inquired il her sleeves were large or
small, according to the latest London
fashion, and complained that, for her
part, Americans changed the node of
their sleeves so often that she could
not keep up with them. Isabella
yearned to know whether Mrs, Vernon
smoked cigarettes or not. Sir Percy
almost laughed at the latter sug-
gestion. He had never seen any
woman in his life so careful to pay
the 1.-THE Of mint, anise and cummin to
he world as Alicia Vernon, or more
ready to avoid the weightier matters of
the law. The slightest aroma of fast
ness was rigidly forsworn by her. and

than did the lady of the violet, eyes.
In the midst OF this patter Of ques-

Sir Percy had promised to stay an
the evening, but he broke his promise
and left early. re began to believe
that Fate, and not he, would settle
when and how Lucy Arnlytage would
hear the painful story Of his youth.
During the next week Sir Percy Carl
von saw General Talbot every day,
ana for hours, and ii was inevitable
that he should see much of Alicia Yer
nor. He did the regular sight-seeing
with them, drove with them through
the park. went with them to Mount
Vernon. and. tn short, acted as Their
c;cerons. Nothing could exceed the
grace and compoeurc OF Alicia

buns that he had experienced during
his life. II Sir Percy Carlyon had been

FUSED TO tell her-the name and habitat
OF the woman he loved.
Cards and invitations began to pour
in upon General Talbot and his daugh-
ter. but the dinner at the embassy was
the first formal entertainment which
they attended.
Sir Percy's firet meeting with Lucy
Arrnytase after Alicia vernon's arrival
was purely accidental. He had taken
his late Afternoon walk eastward. and
as he crossed, after sunset. the de-
serted plaza OF the Capitol he noticed

Read the directions on the pattern
carefully and see that it is placed on
the goods accordingly. When all the
pieces are arranged, pin them securely
in place and proceed TO cut the goods
along the outline of the paper, being
careful not to let the edges wave or
you will have an irregular. ugly seam
that viii not set well. All notches must
be clipped and perforations plainly
marked, either with tailors' chalk or
with thread.
The pieces are now ready to be bast-
ed together and stitched. Care must
be taken to see that the notches along
the seams are placed exactly opposite
each other, and when two bias edges
come together q piece OF narrow tape
should be basted in with the seam.
Next the front facings are applied, and
it is a matter of preference whether
they be turned back on thu right or
wrong side. If the design of the cape
calls for no other trimming, a facing
IN the right side makes a very pretty
finish. To arrange this join them TO
the garment with an ordinary sean
along tho front edge, and after turning
in the pack edge of the facing for a
finish. haste it fiat to the cape. After
running q basting thread along the
front. turn so as to keep it in position,
and finish it with two rows Of ma
chine stitching. When the cloth Is of
a light weight the facing should be
lined with O light weight tailors' cam
vas that has been previously shrunk.
After the edges of the seams are
bound, the cape is ready to have the
lower edge finished. which. if the ma
terial Is OF a light weight, is lone with
an ordinary hem varying in width from
one to three inches.
When the goods has considerable
body, the raw edge is bound with a
piece OF silk binding such as is used
for finishing the seams. the hem turned
up, and either stitched or caught to the
goods by hand.
The garment is o ready for a thor
ough pressing, and TO do the work
properly several good hot rons will be
needed. In order to prevent the cloth
becoming glossy. the board or table on
which the pressing is lone must be
well padded with several thicknesses
of flannel, covered with a cotton cloth.
The goods is laid right side down on
the padded board, and a well-damp-
ened cloth laid on the wrong side and
tironed until perfectly dry.
The collar is then made according
