A Shaped Belt

IF THE heavily embroidered linen
belts. or well-canvased cloth ones.
Il persist in slipping up to disclose
the waist and skirt attachments, there
is a way out-and it's all in the shape.
Was there ever a problem in the realm
of fashion that could not be solved by
some woman's genius?
There are women who have Just ex-
actly the correct contour to be per-
fectly fitted about the waist line by a
straight band of material, which stays
put" but is that a reason to suppose
that every belt must needs be straight?
1t is quite enough of a tax on the gen.
eral amiability to accept the lace stock
made In one size only" for every neck
(the saints be praised for collars In
quarter sizesD, but, while the ready
to-wear beltings in embroidered gal
looms and the like are necessarily
straight, all belts turned out by tailors
and at home need not conform to q
pattern fitting half the public.
A very simple solution is the belt
round the waist, but cut two inches
and a half wide in the center back
ard sloped gradually to a width of an
inch and a quarter at each side of the
front. The extra width in the back lies
over the hooks on the skirt band, and
the usual narrowness in the front slips
more readily into most belt buckles.

Button Making

vVy HEN may buttons be made at
\" home? First. last and often.
but not always, because on
some of the more magnificent costumes
the buttons must necessarily be of rich
est crochet. with the undercovering of
satE showing through. or else covered
with satin. which requires very accu-
rate manufacture, or of the jeweled va
riety. The handmade button is, how
ever, not to be despised. and with deft
fingers beautiful buttons may be made
at home. 1t is delightful pickup

conversation sprinkled in after the first
button or two.
Some OF the narrow novelty bra1ds
woven round and round and seWed as
they are woven make rich buttons. The
gold and silver braids are used In but
ton-making for evening dresses. A bas-
ket weave combining the two is new
and effective covering. but is too diff
cult to recommend except to the very
experienced.
Button decorations and centers OF
shaped opaque beads. which may be had
at the fancy work counters, are particu-

want to embroider, because, the mould

then attempt to embroder it. 1t is much

How to Apply the
Design
IT HERE are two ways TO apply
this DESIGN TO the material

IT HERE are two ways TO apply
L this design TO the material
upon which you wish to work it.
If your material is sheer-such
as handkerchief linen, lawn, batiste
and the like-the simplest method
is 10 lay the material over the de-
sign, and, with well-pointed pencil,
draw over each line.
If your material is heavy, secure
a piece of transfer or impression
paper. Lay it, face down, upon the
material; lay the pattern upon this /;
then draw over each line of the
paper design with a hard pencil or
the point of 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
execute it satisfactorily. One is.
see that your material is level-cut
and folded by thread-and that
-FOUR design is placed upon it evenly

cut buttonholes the desired length, but
be very careful TO prepare them well.
because so many of them will not be
cut on the straight OF the goods and
in shape. If there Is any chance OF
thus spelling the effect of your pretty
corset cover after doing your embroid-
ery so well, use a stiletto and punch
(but never CUT eyelets instead of but
tonholes, remembering. however, that
even the largest eyelets you can make
will accommodate only a narrow ribbon.
/ think 1 can't refrain from urging you
to use white ribbons, they seem SO
much more IL, keeping with your dainty
flowers.
The lily sprays for this set have pur-
posely been drawn very simply. for l
never want to present a design which
may prove discouragins, either by rea-
son OF complications or of too much
work.
For the rapid embroiderer and the e1-
ceedingly ambitious needlewoman. how
ever the lily sprays may be repeated as
often as desired.
This is the kind of design that my IN
eenious reader likes. for here she may
exploit her knowledge of addition ana
subtra ction, with the result of securing
a certain amount Of individuality.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-01-10

at every point.
The second is, when placed accu-
rately, secure the design to the ma
terial with thumb tacks or pins so
that they cannot slip during the
operation.
Transfer paper comes in white,
black, blue, red and yellow. l 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 desi gn.

A Busy Woman S Bag

~HE kind 1 mean is a very useful
one, and not only may or can be
made at home, but must be, for
they are not purchasable, although the
material is. The busy woman may be
one who holds a position or one intent
upon some Of the worlds work or in
terested In her own pursuits, but who
goes out from day to day, and not
empty handed.
The bag In question is her constant
companion. and becomes. on the busiest
Of days. her dearest friend. Not the
small vanity bag-that has its place
nor yet the ordinary shopping bag
which might well be called 1.-The sample
bag'-but something more commodious
and "homely,' as the English use that
word-domestic, useful Women need
this large bag for their office luncheons.

OF gloves to furnish up for a later en-
gagement, more handkerchiefs. and
even for overshoes.
And the way to make It? AS large as
is necessary and of very durable mate

the most OF her trotting gowns. This
time durability does not imply "a side
OF sole leather" but it does mean a
hide OF soft suede leather, II that
pleases her fancy. and laced in at the
top with leather thongs. drawn through
round holes made with a shoemaker's
or saddIer's punch. Then there Is
corduroy, particularly good to look
al in browns and dark green: or.
again, gray and dull blue veIveteen
may be used. Either one is soft In
tone, and will admit of a stenciled dec
grafton in a darker shade Of the same
color. Satin ribbons wear longer for
the drawstrings, If run through q
rather wide casing. Whether the ma
terial be cloth, velvet, leather or
heavy ottoman silk. these bags are bet
ter looking when they are made with a
four-inch top fulness above the casing.
The bag itself should be from twelve to
sixteen inches square, lined with firm
China silk or sateen, according to the
use to which it may be put; or else
made without lining. A very nee
essary point is the stitching of the bot
tom seam twice, for extra strength.

The corset cover is to be sewed to-

tiny kind of French fell that requires
almost no material and is as dainty as
no seam at all. Join the shoulder seams

to the cover in French fell (after the
waist gathers have been run in), or a row
of beading for ribbon may be inserted be-
tween the two-a very satisfactory way
OF tying in a corset cover at the waist
line. Three pearl or linen buttons, each
one on a scallop. and three buttonholed
loops under opposite scallops will be the
best way to fasten it down the front.

with felied seams, and it is almost nee
essary. with the present style Of dress

An Old Enemy,

Persons who rise in the world are
not always as frank about their for
mel places in life as good sense and
humor might lead them to be. Dean
Hole in his book of "reminiscences,
Now and Them" tells a little story
of one whose humor did not desert
him in time of prosperity. A foot
man who had begun life as a doc
tors boy grew interested in the study
of medicine and spent his leisure
hours reading medical books. He
came to the United States, worked
hard as a student and as a physi-
clan for many years and attained a
large practice. After some years of
absence he returned to England.
Seated one day at luncheon with
those whom he had formerly served,
he suddenly astonished the company
by holding up the mustard pot and
addressing it with, Hast thou
found me, o mine enemy"
Afterward he explained that the
only reproof he had incurred from
the lady who was then at the head
of the table was evoked by the neg
lected condition of the mustard pot.
