Practical Under
garments

"THILE we all openly adore the
wv dainty lingerie whose praises
w are sung whereer needlework
is appreciated the practical woman
knows. down in the depths of her
secret heart. that for the average
woman a number of palmer pieces
must be added to the wardrobe;
some that will stand the wear and
tear Of our common enemy, the laun-
dress, and come back clean. untorn
and fresh looking each alternate
week. giving place to their more
fragile sisters only upon especial oc-
cssions.
Therefore, when doing the spring
shopping, we clutch our pocketbooks
6eterminedly in our fists as we slip
around the dainty piles Of white with
colOred ribbons arranged to tempt US
on the counters or along the
aisles OF our favorite shop. We make
a beeline for the more sedate but,
when we reach it, equally ATTRACTIVE
counter of white goods. where we
hurriedIy buy what we know we
ought TO buy. but what we do not
want 10 buy at all. Then the fascina-
again, as it is sure to do. and. oh.
goodness me, Then we go right to
work and make them too elaborate
again!
There is a way 10 have these at
once useful and pretty, simple and
dainty. Cross barred muslin OF a
quality that seems almost like dimity
wears well
Choose a pattern, when cutting out,
that combines corset cover and draw
ers. or corset cover and short petit
coat. The corset cover is cut all in
one piece. giving the fronts a gener-
Gus bias.
II you care more for line and neat
ness than for the accepted idea OF a
finish for the edges OF either Of the
lower garments, leave off the UNI
brella flounce or the straight gather
ed rufie and finish the edge first with
a narrow linen tape which comes
with a hemstitched design through
the center. Sew to this by hand, so
as TO get the proper fulness. machine
made linen edging from one inch to one
and a half inches in width.
The neck and armholes can be fin
ished in the same way, while a dainty
washable ribbon can be run through
the lace at the neck to draw in all
extra fUlness.
The lower part can be Joined to the
upper by means of piece OF the linen
tape about two inches longer than the
size OF the waist. and to which all
extra fulness at the waist line is
placed
This, when sewed twice so as to
cover all raw edges, has the effect OF
the French seam, beading or entire
deux, and is much stronger and more
durable.
Buttons and buttonholes finish this
garment, and the more IL is laundered
the daintier II becomes.
II is a comfort indeed to have some
undergarments that are always ready
90 wear.

DESIGN FOR A SEWING
APRON

stitch along the double lines Of the
whole design.
This work will preserve delicacy not
usual in a heavily embroidered solid
piece, and it will take far less time III
the doing.
To give a certain indescribabfe light
ness or laciness there are added small
. circles in groups of three, which are in
tended as English eyelets. They may,
however. be solid, and they may. more
over. be worked in color If desired.
Aprons are delight to the recipient
always. and the advantages of the
fancy-work apron with it's comm odious
pocket, are known both to those who
have had them and to all who have
done without.
1t is a pleasant piece of work. and az
nice to keep as it is acceptable when
given away.

THE design for sewing apron on
today'e page is offered in COM
pliance with a request. If 1 may
judge by the suggestions from
numerous correspondents. this design
should prove a popular number.
The apron is very simple in construc-
don. and after the embroidery is COM
pleted there will be very little trouble
IN the making Of ii.
Made of two pieces, the back is apron
shaped and the top piece a generous
circular pocket. One-half Of this pock-
eted apron is shown. and the making
OF it means merely the sewing together
Of the outer seam. which fastens the
pocket TO the apron.
It is expected that lace be eewed along
the outside edge after the seam has

The Distinctive Touch

AYO MATTER how plain the material
M OF the little corset cover or
- chemise. or how simple the gar
ments must be made. there is always a
way 20 give them a distinctive touch, TO
make them truly our own possessions.
This can be done by the simple little
embroidered wreath inclosing the given
name and dore with No. 20 white en-
broidery cotton. Use the heavier cotton
in order &c save the stitches and yet
20 give the same effect as that done
with finer thread.
A design can be copied from any pat
tern that seems attractive. and can be
used again and again In fact, the re-
peated design then becomes as much our
own as the name il surrounds, which
makes Il doubly personal.

You would have observed. had you

of the pocket.
No belt is supplied, because of the
prevalence OF the ribbon band. which is
the color touch and is folded over the
raw edge at the top of the apron,
hemmed fast and its ends allowed to
fall as strings.
The scallop, which you viii pad with
soft, untwisted cotton, is shallow

spent in doing it in close buttonholing

Colored Irish Crochet

T RISH lace is now dyed to match
the costume linen with which you
- want to use it, The dyeing OF
cluny lace has long been successful;
the tea-dipping and coffee-soaking
process has worked so well with the
Irish crochet that this latter is now
actually dyed.
The thread OF which II Is made
takes on a very fair rose pink. old
blue or dull lavender. The darker
linen shades are not so successfully
obtained in the hard Irish thread.
The small rose. or medallion. and
the round "danglum" OF crocheted
thread are the pieces most frequently
dyed. ~

as ever.

Poor Little Dollies!

THREE wee bisque dollies were de-
prived Of their legitimate arms,

THE MAN OF DESTINY
PAUL A. LAVOIE,
2731 Folsom street, st. Peters SchoOi,
eighth Grade. Age II Years

The first part of the nineteenth CEN
fury tells US the history OF man
rather than OF a continent. France
was the center Of Europe and Napoleon
the center OF France. His form OF mill
tary genius lifted him from the lowest
to the highest place among mankind.
and he was respected, feared and hated
in the eyes of all nations. He was in
a full sense the man of destiny, and
Europe was his prey. NO man dare
question his word. for the French army
was at his call and the nation lay at
his feet. not in fear, but in admiration.
June IS. 1915, was the crucial day in
Napoleons career The day on which
his mower was to fall, never to rise
again The beginning OF the struggle
at Waterloo was largely in favor OF
Napoleon The detachment which
should have been close on the heels or
the Prussians failed to appear and the
weary French were left TO face the
Prussians without support. At the end
the French army broke and fled in
disastrous rout. Napoleon. pale and
confused, was led by Souit from the
battle field.
What a great nation France would
be If this battle had been the reverse,
for all the nations of Europe would
have then been under his control, as
he had already conquered most Of them.
This also would have made France the
greatest country in the world with
Napoleon as emperor
