A Home Repair Job

~ NE Of the least difficult trim
mings to put on the half-worn
~ winter suit Is a fur band round
the neck: the sleeves and the bottom OF
the skirt.
It involves almost no sewing, aoso-
lutely no planning. further than fairly
liberal measurement, and not any great
care in the sewing on.
Firstly. however, the skirt should be
q plain one, for obvious reasons. Tho
fur, necessarily. should be put on with
some care as to it's weight; the stitches
cannot be long, or the heavy fur Will
sag between them and pull the lower
part Of the skirt into Fuckers.
The fur should be none too short, 1or
the same reason.
II it be necessary to 1engthen the
sleeves the fur should not do duty as
q lengthener, but only as q means or
covering the piecings. The same may
be said Of the collar region, the FUR
bands being intended only to cover
lightweight standing collar OF the Rus-
sian order.
Now. the most sensible muff for this
little made-over garment is the cloth
covered center with fur along Its edges:
an exceedingly good model for the win
ter borrowed for copying purposes from
among a beautiful lot OF rich French
fancies in fur and chiffon cloth.
The Russian toque may be simple
crush crown Of velvet to match the suit
material, with q fur border round its
lower edge.

Workbag and Apron for
the NeedleWoman

WE HAVE donated attractive
" workbags to our friends who
embroider. and dainty sewing
aprons are frequently given to the
needlewoman; but a novel little idea Is q
combination gift of these two. which
Will more than doubly please the re-
ceiver. There is always a great salts
faction in possessing a 'set' OF any
thing. The mind is satisfied with the
completed whole. Here is sewing set
which can be worked out in any form
to please ones pocketbook and taste. It
Is pretty and easily made. This last
fact commendS it to givers who realize
how much a 'made-at-home" gift ID

One set is inexpensive Il white swiss

and round bag having a heart-shaped
bottom. The rounded portion OF the
heart appears at the aprons lower edge.
A tucked ruffie, with an insertion OF
lace. is an effective finish for the apron.
while a favorite color can be introduced
by ribbons run through swiss beading
at the waist line. The ends extend be-
yond for tie strings.

The bag proper should be gathered into
the heart-shaped bottom and the seam
effectively concealed by a tiny ribbon

apron ribbons can tighten the bag be-
low frill which corresponds to the
ruftie on the apron
more expensive set can be made OF
Dresden silk. This Is charming in a lit
tie round form. with a ruffie OF valen-
ciennes insertion and lace. Ribbon ties
for encircling the waist can be Of plain
color in any shade that occurs in the
pattern. A round bag with lace rut-
fie completes the two-part gift.
One striped effect is procured by COM
binlng ribbon with lace or point
d'esprit This should be edged with a
fluffy lace ruffie. The bag OF this de-
sign is very effective. Its alternating
colors gather into the top band with
lovely intensity of tone.
Select your materials, colors and
shapes. Fashion the apron and bag to
match. and then watch for the delight
full surprise of your lucky friend.

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 thumbtacks or pins SO
that they cannot slip during the
operation.
Transfer paper comes in white,
black. blue, red and yellow. I 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.

How to Apply the Design

THERE are two way. to apply
= this design to the material
upon which you wish to work it.
If your Vmatcrial is sheer-such
as handkerchief linen, lawn, batiste
and the like-the simplest method
is to lay the material over the de-
sign and, with well-pointed pencil,
raw over each line.
If your 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 of a 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
in this simple process. if you would

white cotton tape. Its Undiscovered ex-
terror makes it almost as. pretty as silk
and twice as durable. The fastenings
may be either the clamps that press
shut or buttons that fasten with worked
loops.
Some one has suggested that the trav-
cling public is large when judged by
the comforts intended for its use. The
stay-at-homes are numerous. too. but
all Of these little utility cases are
wasted when lavished upon them.

Fringing

"O FRINGE with the least poss.b!s
trouble, clip the edge of the
Il crash or linen up from the bot
tom at distances OF six to eight inches.
Each clip should be the depth of tho
fringe you intend to make. The draw
ing out of these shorter threads will
often prove less laborious and not 50
injurious to the material.
1t is well to know, also. that tho
drawing of linen threads Is made easier
if the dressing has first been removed.
Brush a heavy lather made from good
white soap along the space from which
YOU wish to draw the threads. Let
this drv in and It will disturb the orig
inai dressing SO that the threads may
be more readily drawn out.

Manhood.

Manhood is one of the essen
tial elements upon which nations
must depend for advancement.
If men are not coached in the
higher meaning of independence
they will never attain to man
hoods full report. From child
hood the boy should be made to
feel that manhood stands for
something. A lot of pigmies will
prove of little worth in the battle
of life.
In America it is absolute rot
to impress class relationship up
on the minds of youths. We
should teach equality among the
white or Anglo American race.
Teach the boy that Americanism
means manhood. In our present
movement toward a centraliza-
ton of wealth, all that will keep
off AFFECT slavery is an implant-
ing of the principles of manhood
in the rising generation. If a
boy develops with this principle
thoroughly instilled he will never
bend the knee to the sciOns of
wealth nor fawn at the feet of an
assumed aristocracy. Indepen-
dence is quality to cultivation.
Poverty should be no bar TO pro
greSS. One great trouble arising
from poverty stricken people is
that they fall into a condition of
apathy that is impaired to their
otfsprings and it means coward
ice and defeat. 1t matters not
if one be as poor as Jobs turkey
they might at least face life's du-
ties with clear eye and head
erect. Make of your boy man
ly man. Do not send him out to
make his way with the handicap
of an obscure insight into the in
tents and purposes of his citizen
ship. Manhood counts for more
than gold. Manhood is a price
less gem. Teach it, preach it.
Let 5 have a nation that will en-
dure. Elk.
