HINTS FOR HOME SEWING

In every season the shirt waist
holds its own as one of the most
practical of feminine garments. Its
trim appearance. it's general service
ableness. its becomingness to almost
every type of woman, are always in
its favor. This summer will prove
no exception to the rule, for every
up-to-date woman will include in
her wardrobe Il number of the smart
new shirt. waist styles for wear with
her separate skirts. Many attract
i've and becoming models have been
designed for the spring and summer.
For the regular shirt-waist styles
the white and colored shirtings
which have been generally adopted
are among the materials which
make up most attractively. Fine
Scotch madras, white or printed
batiste, cambria and percale are
materials which make up effectively
and which give good service. A
new material which is being used
for shirt waists is cotton crepe. This
is used to an equal extent for plain
tailored shirt-waists as for the lace
trimmed ones.
One type of shirt-waist which is
always popular and always good to
have is the Gibson style. The deep
tuck over the shoulder, covering the
armhole seam, is embodied in an
astonishing variety of models, from
the very plainest to those which al e
adorned with different sized tucks.
New shirt waist features which may
become fashionable never GUST the
Gibson feature, but simply get in
