The Truth About he
Afternoon Newspaper
Newspaper Talk No. 20.

The afternoon newspaper
is the source of FIRST IN
FORMATION about things
for most of the city's peo-
pie. Are you more inter-
ested in the message of a
visitor who tells you some
thing NEW, than in the
visitor who tells you the
same thing the next day?
A fact, an event, is new but
ONCE-and, as to news of
the day, the afternoon paper
brings to you while it is new.
After that, the novelty is
discounted, more details"
are useful, of course, if the
news has personal interest
but the first telling is the
important telling.

HOW TO MAKE A SHIRT WAIST.

Dear Sisters Of the Social Corner:
Who was it I heard saying Tell us
something about dressmaBing -
Now, [ am not going to pose as a
teacher of that art. although / sewed
at dressmaling for number of years
before my marriage. l will leave that
position to be filled by one that is more
competent: but I can tell you how to
make shirt waists and make them
well.
we will first make a very plain one.
and after you have done that proper
~, the fancy ones Will come quite
easy.
First, we will pay attention 70 the
cutting. The grain of the material
should run on the straight at both the
center of back and front. Nearly all
patterns require a little alteration. In
fitting your waist, when you have thu
parts all basted together, pin it evenly
down the front with. sufficient lap TO
the front edges to allow for the neces-
sary handling in the making. Have
d straight piece of muslin turned in
to one inch in width for your waist
band Pin this band snugly around
your waist and arrange your shirt
waist upon 1t. First pin the center
front and center back to the band.
Then distribute the front and back
fullness, keeping the shirt waist smooth
and even under the arms. The shirt
waist should be an easy fit from the
arms eyes to the waist belt Next pin
on small collar binding and make from
a double fold Of material. The full
ness at the waist line in the back
should be gathered into five inch
space, and this fullness should be sew
ed to the waist belt, top and bottom:
then the belt should be securely tackled
to the under-arm seam. where it is
let free, the ends finished with hook
and eye to fasten in front. Each front
of the shirt waist has its own little
band. which should exactly fit the fin
fshed front al the waist line. This
band is the same width as the inside
belt. 1t is sewed to the under-arm
seam at the waist line. then the full
ness of the front gathered into a four
or four and one-haIf inch space. and
sewed top and bottom, same as back.
In sewing in the sleeves, especially
If the material is fine lawn, it is we'll
10 sew in piece of narrow tape. 1t
IS a great protection to the sleeve in
laundering.
The collar should be cut in one piece
straight OF the material. The one
thing to be guarded against is not to
curve the lower edge so that it sets
down below the throat line. A collar
is always preJtier made to fasten in
the back If the shirt waist fastens
down the 'front.' the collar should be
seWed to the waist on one side from
the center back to the center front
and neatly closed with small muslin
buttons and buttonhole loops. The fit
ting of a plain cUT is quite as neces-
sary as that Of the collar. It should
mt snugly at the waist.
Wishing all a Happy Christmas.

it so?
The mother is addicted to drink She
loves her children as she loves her very

she loves the whiskey better.
The man in drink is bad: but the
woman is a sight that will make the
heart of 4 gentlewopan ache Why do
the young daughters go wrong Be
cause there is no one to guide or ad-
wise them for their good. There is no
pleasure or comfort in that home, and
so they seek it outside There is no
fGctheTly hand reached out to keep
them from the destroyer. There is al
ways some wolf around waiting for his
prey. Not even their good angel can
save them from his clutches. once he
gets his evil eye on that innocent
young woman. Who will answer at
the judgment seat of God for the down
fall of that young girl? The drinking
