A Trio of Useful Hints

T HE home dressmaker should.
above all. keep up to date in her
- tools. There are so many time-
savers that she can have at little cost
One of these is a pair of scissors which
is fastened to bias gauge. This is so
constructed that, after cutting the cloth
on the bias and adjusting the gauge TO
the number of inches the width OF the
pieces is to be, the bias edge Of the
cloth may be slipped into the gauge.
and, as the scissors cut ahead, a piece
uniform in width is cut of the material.
For cutting trimming bands. which it is
absolutely necessary to have perfectly
true, these scissors have no equal. And
they cost less than 81 all toldl
A black silk waist which must stand
hard service should have two Innings OF
white lawn or badSte. These should be
loosely tackled inside the waist and worn
on alternate days.
To make a perfectly fitting extra belt
on a one-piece dress cut a strip OF bias
silk about IA inches. wide and a trife
smaller than the waist measure Turn
in a narrow hem all the way around
and carefully slip-stitch this. Fold the
silk in half and shirr this fold. Along II
tack a piece Of. Whalebone three
inches long. Make a row OF shirring
each side of this row. each of these
rows being IL inches away from #.
Then along these tack pieces of whale
bone 21a inches long. Sew to the front
edges crochet-covered rings and small
pieces of two-inch wide ribbon; lare the
bow in front. safety pin may be
sewed on the inside across the lower
edge of the back. so that the waist and
skirt may be pinned together.

Children s Clothing

THILDREN'S clothes are always a
problem for the mother who makes

may profit by the suggestions here
given. For his or. her imperial majesty
creeping frock may be made by
stitching an extra piece Of material.
10x6 inches, TO the center back Of any
plain dress or slip. Attach by means
of buttons and buttonhoIes This band
is adjusted after putting on the dress,
which it keeps down over the under
clothes and stockings while the baby is
enjoying himself on the floor
In sewing the vents Of children's dress
es. which usually receive the hardest Of
wear, the continuous placket is the best
TO use. This is a straight strip Of ma
terial, cut on a lengthwise thread and
sewed to the edges of the placket in
straight seam. The seam is folded in
the middle and the other edge is then
hemmed in position. The band is
turned back on the side of the plackc,
overlapping the outside. so as to form a
facing; on the under side it forms
small extension flap.
Mitten time is coming: look UP your
scraps of velvet. plush or cloth to keep
the children's hands warm in the winter.
To secure a pattern, have the child place
his hand on a piece OF paper, fingers
together and thumb out. and draw
around it Round out the upper edge.
so as 10 allow plenty of room. Cut two
sections for each hand, and bind the
wrist openings with silk tape.

For the Economical

"A R OST of US who have none too full

ways of reducing the necessary cost:
BY cutting out the neck of a worn
lingerie shirtwaist in round. square or

cover. Cut off the sleeves of the waist
for peplum. and trim the cut edges

Two Made-Overs

IND you know that you could maks
over your old tailored shirtwaists
for house wear In the morning?
Cut out the neck at the coIarband ara
the sleeves at the cuffs. Supply instead
plain percale low collars and turn-back
cuffs Of some contrasting color. Cur or
also the skirt sections. which are usu-
ally torn BY pinning. and supply a belt
Of the percale. This belt will fastsn
over the skirt: thus. all you will need TO
complete your toilet when dressing hur-
rledly IN the morning will be a pin to
hold your collar closed.
Another made-over is the apron which
was originally a lingerie blouse. Use
the front. cutting a bib OF one sleeve
and tie-ends OF the other. The bacv

For. Embroiderers

NNE reason why embroidered ar
ticles are not completed is that
~ a woman gets a stamped piece
and a lot of embroidery silk. takes them
home. works on the piece for a time
and then puts it aside for several days.
Then when she is ready to take up
the work again she has probably for
gotten all about the scheme or arrange
ment of the colors. She may make
trip back to the store for the purpose of
inspecting a sample finished piece, but
only to find that the latter has been
sold.
One very simple, inexpensive and
practical way to overcome cMcum-
stances of this kind is for her. as soon
as she buys the stamped article and the
silk, to take crayons of corresponding
colorss and mark the different portions
Of the stamped pattern to correspond
with the finished piece Then is there
no danger of forgetting the colors of
the design she wishes to copy.

OF these accessories which. as I have
said. may be made at home.
There are the satin stocking support
ers. for instance. To make these, buy

the top. sew IN a strong bar safety pin
and then add the hook-and-button at

can easily be duplicated by clever

handmade gift Of a cap and bib

dainty bowknots, daisies and forget
me-nots? For your own little one. or
for your friends baby, this page sug-
gests an idea for Christmas, or for
christening gift, or just because you
love it.
You should work this on fine linen
or nainsook. I think that with very
fine work no padding is required, the
design being sufficiently close to give
q lovely effect If you wish, you can
Slightly pad the bowknots on the
turned-back flap OF the bonnet.
The forget-me-nots you viii work
across the petals, using fine mercer
tied cotton. Do the leaves also in solid
stitch and the stems in the finest kind
OF stem stitches. Pad the scallops and
work as usual with fine buttonhole
stitch.
When doing the daisy forms you
can give variety by working them in
eyeIet stitch. but the solid work is
equally effective.
When working the attractive flap
for the bonnet you viii find that you
can introduce eyelet work here with
greater freedom, for there is practi-
cally no strain and the design is solid
enough to allow the relief Of open
work
DO the tiny forget-me-nots as dl-
rected for the bib. and the stems and
leaves in a similar way.
Suppose that you do not wish to
work the bowknots solid. A delight
