They long ago affected the military

their yachting clothes. thsy positively
laid siege to the MILDLY blouse. which
they wear for athletics and for school.
A mans sweater isn't his own any
more. since women prefer its sleeve and
shoulder line to the exclusively wom-
anish SWEATER. and women now are
veerinE over to the fencing shirt as q
daily blouse.
It is a very sheer. full and beautiful
little garment that has somehow es-
capped undue popularity, perhaps be-
cause It belongs to \ peculiar type OF
woman who, while she may be slender.
has unusual breadth across the shoul-
ders. The woman Of the fencing blouse
should measure about six inches on the
shoulder from collar line to top OF
sleeve. because the requisite amount OF
bloused material necessary at the waist
line for fencing Is not balanced by the
fulness across the shoulders and bust.
The fencing shirt usually Is made OF
sheer. soft batiste. It never - starched

pattern.

shirt are cut q little fuller than a per-

with a few gathers stroked in at the
back OF the neck (as In a workman's
blouse) and at each side Of the front
neckband. A casing run with white
silk elastic and finished to fit the waist
measurement blouses the garment over
exactly like childs sailor blouse.
The sleeve is cut for a two-inch
bishops wristband at the hand and
with only a few gathers at the arm
hole. The top line Of the sleeve shows
very little rise. being cut high under
meath to admit Of raising the arm.
The cuffbands and the front hem are
then opened for the insertion OF five
inch kemstitched frill. which falls over
the hands and cascades down the front.
The fencing shirt Is worn with stir
turnover collar and Windsor tie. and
has a distinctive style most becoming
to the mannish girl in spite of Its frills.

Thinking it Out

r]EEP your thoughts on your
work! You will never make
~ yourself over into successful
dressmaker, although you may be
the neatest OF seamstresses. II YOU
cannot put some mind into your gar
ment.
This thoughtful attitude OF mind
may not be one Of your gifts. but 1t
may be cultivated by the persistent
worker who Is willing to master the real
secret OF putting this and that to-
gether. "This" may be q deep skirt
yoke Or q Jersey or fitted cuirass.
and shat may be q pleated lower
section depending from it.
Now let US suppose. for the time
being, that the lower skirt. which
you have pleated mechanically ac-
cording to the notches. proves too
large to At into the hip piece-just
what do you intend to, do? Nine
tenths OF the thoughtless. who make
their clothes without once sharpen
ing their wits upon them as they
sew, will cut off the extra pleat or
two. and thus At in the pleating sue
cessfully. But one woman out OF
given ten will keep the skirt exactly
the width the pattern allowed and
will use her mind to evolve the
theory that certain width Is re-
Quired for walking purposes. and
that therefore the springinE In OF
the top OF each pleat will produce
the desired shortening Of the whole
without a sacrifice OF the lower
width.
This is but a single instance OF the
necessity for staying wide awake to
the task. Each season's models
vary to such an extent that there
can be no royal road to dress manu-
facture. Certain basic principles
alone can be- taught, just as 1t -
possible to teach only the main
points OF pattern cutting.
Peculiar styles bring. each one. it,

will readily follow. but which the

THERE are two ways to apply

THERE are two ways to apply
1 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 to lay the material over the de-
sign and, with a 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 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
