to buy a smart and thoroughly prac-

service all the season.
There are a variety of designs to

the most attractive is OF black or

Shirt waists of sheer batiste are to
be recommended for GOODNESS. and
some very pretty models are to be
seen made up in this fabric. one OF
the most attractive, to my thinking
is made with a Yoke of fine tucks on
the shoulders the front groups OF
tucks alternating with rows OF fine
beading. A wide ruffie runs down the
closing In the front, a little to the left
sides The sleeves show lines of tuck
ing and beading running lengthwise,

quite lew amateur dregsmakers

Quite a few amateur dressmakers
find the correct setting on of the col
lar band the most difficult detail in
making a shirt waist. The sheer
fabrics have such a way OF stretching
that when the collar ts to be sewn
on IL Is often found to be a little
short The best plan is to whip the
cut edge directly as 1t comes from the
scissors. However. when the waist IS
too Tong for te collar, the latter must
never be stretched to meet it,
The collar in fact should be trif1e
longer of the two. There Is nothing to
be done but 10 sew the back Of the
waist 10 the collarbsnd and take OFF
any surplus material at the shoulder
