the proper tools with which to work.
If the sewing room is furnished neatly
and comfortably twice the amount of

absolute necessities for every sewing
room is a small kitchen table painted
white Into the drawer may be put
scissors, chalk, tape measures and 9TH
er small articles that are indispensa-
bic in the sewing room. This table
can be used to lay the goods on while
cutting out garments, and it will be
found a great help when 1t comes to
basting seams and hens of skirts and
other garments.
The sewing room should be furnish
ed with low chair for use when at
the sewing machine, as high chair is
most uncomfortable, making one lean
over and strain the back A large
mirror also is necessary. for when one
is fitting ones own clothes this will be
found most convenient. A great many
Eteps will be saved If roomy waste

BOOM FOR BOWLING.
Greatest Season In History of
Game Now In Progress.
TWO BIG JOURNEYS COMING.

Pittsburs Busy Preparing For Ameri-
can Bowling Congress Tournament
Feb. 20 to March educational Asso-
citation In New York May 4.
This season the game of tenpins has
come TO be recognized as the national
winter pastime. Ten years ago a state
ment of this kind would have been re-
ceived with smile of incredulity. To-
DAY the enthusiastic teIpin artists can
bowl a game Of tenpins in any city
from Boston to San Francisco and
from Montreal to the City of Mexico.
No other athletic sport, with the posi-
bile exception of baseball. has shown
anything like an equal growth or has
so much capital invested in its promo
ton.
Probably every business, trade ard
profession and the majority of frater-
nal orders are represented in five man
teams at our different state and ma
tional tournaments. The newspapers
themselves have learned that the vast
majority Of their readers demand of
them the bowling news of the country.
Beyond these facts there is a more
important feature which is being rap

ing.
One could keep on writing endlessly
about the neckwear, but | really must
tell you about a collar of ermine made
by clever girl who has more brains
than money. This young lady had an
ermine muff that had survived her in
fantile days in a good state of preser-
walton. This pelt she determined to
make into one of the new neckbands.
With this end in view she cut a paper
pattern of a collar whose shape was
similar to that of the old storm af-
fair that stood up high and close in
the back and sloped down In front
This modern collar, though, crossed In
front In tiny laps like the velvet rib
bon one wears at ores neck. The pat
tern was laid CT the skin side of the
ermine and cut with 4 sharp razor,
allowing for a slight turning in. Edg-
ing the collar all around was an inch

But who said the directoire gown was

costume for centuries. One hears, too,

society matron was wearing with her
mauve crepe de chine gown a direc-
toire cCat of black satin lined with
violet ottoman silk. The coat was
cut up at the sides. and one caught

repeated IN the feathers of the large
black sill hat. This repetition of color
in coat lining and hat is one of the
new ideas of the season.

This has already been tried in the
east with considerable success, there
being both the interstate and the east
ern leagues, which each have eight
cities in their circuit in. New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut, but the
great desire of the bowlers through
out this vast country is to see the east

now on in and around New York
Two great buildings have been Sc
cured for the two recognized national
tournaments = namely, the Madison

sixteen alleys.
Meetings have been planned and a
national organization is being dis
cussed with a national commission
which will roll the game Of tenpins
similar to the present national base

to the American bowling congress in
the west and the National Bowling as
