,LONG-DISTANCE VIEW

the observance of these lines In the de-
signing of the gown beautiful will result
successfully, and they will be found of
marked advantage in the use Of sharply
contrasting materials.
If you draw an imaginary line across
the bust, drop the arms first and draw
it also round the arm; keep your plain
material above this line on the neck
and on the arms, with your figured stuff
below It throughout.
Whether skirt materials are combined
In a straight line or an uneven decora-
tive one, the connection Of several stuffs
should occur at the hip line, at the
knee line or at the line running half
way between floor and knee.
Keep contrasting materials in masses.
If the lower section of the bodice be
made of the lighter shade, see to It that
the upper part OF the skirt which joins
it matches, and then get in the contrast
at the neck line and the sleeve ends.
Girdles are a dangerous proposition,
and should. In color. be made like the
bodice and hip portion, If the waist
measurement is at all too largo to be
graceful; but in the case of an abnor-
mally small waist gayly colored girdle
or contrasting leather belt will enlarge
it just TO the appearance of comfort.
The long mirror and the large room
are the salvation of the woman who
would combine materials. Before the
mirror. with materials In hand and an
idea in mind much may be done in the
way of successful combination; and the
habit of basting is cautious one. by
which good effects may the more readily
be got.
Wherever it is the intention to COM
bine cashmere prints or Persian silks
with plain material. or to use the sim
plest OF bordure stuffs, or to bring in
the bias plaids as an edge, the coarse
needle and basting spool will save the
agony OF a long siege of ripping and
will preserve the good fabric intact
All curiously made dresses, all unusual
efforts in the field of design, all at
tempts at combination should be begun
and carried almost to the point of COM
pletion with basting thread. The actual
finishing Of a well-basted garment is q
minor piece of work compared to its
construction.
IN this way only can good effects be

For Slippers

TT Is comparatively lately that the

fore the closet door seems to have
been the fnal aim and object OF the

held In place. When all Is said and

Of the sketch, and then by folding back
each side of the front to show the
shield
The collar Is secured to the neck line
of the blouse before the shield or front
section Is placed. The shield is fastened
in down the left side by sewing ana
with ornamental buttons. and 1t is but
toned down the right side.
The shield is made without band
collar, this being more desirable for
midsummer wear.
Speaking Of materials. linen IS always
reliable for the well-dressed child, and
white linen is the first choice. A white
collar on dark blue suit is next best,
and then there is long line of colors
and stripes, any and all of which are
correct for the 4-year-old boy. Delicate
blues are to be avoided. because Of their
well-known propensity for fading, and
pink is, like lavender. less boyish color
than some OF the more decided reds,
blues and browns.
Galatea ranks next to linen, and the
coarse union linens. also linenes. which
are all cotton. are strong and desirable
among the less expensives.
For the white collared suit the en-
broidery design here shown for the col
lar may be traced upon white linen, and
that for the shield upon dark blue or
striped stuff but both Of them worked
with white cotton.

tackled along the line of joining where
the chiffon or tulle founce is fastened to
the skirt.
Hanging from this at distances OF
three or four inches are single rose

pink ribbon and each one attached to a
leaf made OF delicate. narrow green rib

TROLLEY RIDERS
HAVE GRIEVANCE
Complain Again Of the De-
Iayed Service on the
Stanton Line

Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL:
We regular riders-of Richardson
Park. Newport and Stanton under
stand that the City Railway line is un-
der new management-from the news
paper reports. But what improvement
Il has made over the old management
is hard TO see. II some of the stock
holders depended on getting into town
in time to 20 to work or II they could
have been at Fourth and Market
streets this morning at 7.l5 and heard
the language not it to print, perhaps,
q say, perhaps) they would look into
the welfare Of a workingman. The
conductor and motorman of the car
that leaves Stanton at 6,45 a. m can
not make any better time, as they are
held up by every milk can In the coun-
try; no room for passengers to ride.
Then the people like this morning
who have to be at work at a certain
time can't make connection at Fourth
and Market at all. Why? Because,
like this morning, the big motorman
on a Shellpot car would not wait for
the transfer OF passengers. Although
both he and Maryland avenue cars got
three bells to wait. they do not.
Then Il is 10 to - minutes wait for
the next car, which causes a working
man to loose one hour for being late.
Mr.. New Manager, do something to
improve the conditions of the Stanton
Newport and Richardson Park line
and you will receive the prayer Of the
good people who leave more nickels az
your door than any other riders, be-
cause It cost Is cents to ride FIVE miles
going that way, when you can ride six
miles for a nickel on the Peoples Linz.
