A SHOWER FOR THE
GR0OM---WHY NOT?

TIE bride elect is feted and made

his bachelor dinner is about the
only entertainment exclusively the
groom's. and this he has to pay for
himself. Now. why not give the poor
man a shower such as his fancee is

of this kind was given recently to a
prospective groom. his men friends do
ing all the cooking on chahng dishes,
besides serving the guests, which in
cludcd the bride elect and her special
chums.
The gifts were presented In a most

at the front door was heard. and a
messenger boy appeared and handed
the prospective bridegroom a huge
umbrella, which he was forced to open

How to Handle
Velvet In Home
Dressmaking.

VELVET suits are the rage this sea-
son, black as first choice and next
possibly brown or a rich dark shade OF
plum verglng upon the violet tones.
Many women are making these suits at
home, so the professional advice of a
dressmaker concerning the right han
ding of the material may not come
amiss. The advice applies to velveteen
as well as to velvet:
THE point In the manipulation OF
velvet or velveteen is to ascertain the
right lie OF the pile. The safest way
Is to hold the material up against one
and look down on It, when It should
shade dark. There Is a marked con-
trast In the shade as the piece Is turn
ed up or down. so there may be no
question as to which side gives up the
dark shade. When discovered this
should be marked with chalk or cotton
and vigorously used as the top when
the different parts OF the pattern are
placed on the fabric. With velvet cut
ting double is out OF the question
Each piece must be cut separately, one
for the right and one for the left side.
This weighty point being settled
any method by which marking the ma
terial may be avoided must be decided.
These are three In number. In the
first place, use steel pins or needles In
place OF the usual wire variety; sec
ondly. use silk instead of cotton for
basting, and. thirdly, when any work
becomes necessary, as In making but
tonholes, facings and so on, sew a
piece OF velvet pile outward over the
first finger of the left hand like a cap
reaching to the first joint. In this way
the necessary pressure against the fin
ger In working will do no harm, as pile
will press on pile.
"The point which now remains to be
| considered Is the all important treat
ment OF the seams. Velvet should be
! stitched with the pile, not against 1t.
This practically results In the necessity
OF beginning all seams at the bottom
and stitching upward. exactly the op-
posite from the usual method I'm such
things. Then comes the pressing, the
crux Of the situation TO most people.
but II is quite easily accomplished d

the leader of New York's -Four Hun
dred replied that the day of the society

wealth. the bluest blood or prestige OF
any kind is half so potent an open ses-
anne nowadays as the ability to amuse
people. In other words, individuality
counts far more than the divine
right" in smart society
The same idea holds good In the
world of dress. The day when the
edict Of one courtier was all powerful
has passed away. individuality is the
sartorial slogan, and the woman who
takes her clothes seriously Is cos
TUNED by a dressmaker who studies
her own points and accentuates the
best OF them.
A step from the beaten path is the
new wedgwood blouse and gown
Have you seen them? Well, If you
have and want to annex one OF these
pretty garments you can do so with
small expense. This is how it's done.
The next time you are near china
shop step In and look at the Wedg-
wood jugs and plates with their
charming blue coloring and snowy
white patterns that stand out boldly
against the blue; then go home and
try to initiate the effect with blue satin
and white cord. or. better still with
porcelain beads.
@ These porcelain blouses, as they are
called. are distinctly the thing now.
and the pretty blue nuance is most
becoming. The illustration win give
you a good idea of the beauty Of these
effects. The gown Is particularly
fetching and is made Of blue marqui-
sette over satin. The new kimono
sleeve is used, and the long crusader
tunic Is modishly bordered with skunk.
The blouse is of blue chiffon laid
over duchess lace. and In this way the
wedgwood effect is easily achieved.
The sleeves are of the ubiquitous XII
mono cut. and pipings of blue chiffon
edge the collar and cuffs This blouse
IS designed for wear with a street coat
and skirt suit.
A touch OF individuality may be
given to dressy costumes and evening
frocks by means of the silk and ribbon
flowers used so freely on millinery and
gowns alike. A girl who has more
brains than bank account has recently
made a fascinating frock for herself
trimmed with ribbon roses. The skirt
of this gown Is Of white lace over pale
rose color, and the tunic and waist are
of pale blue chiffon. A strap of the
roses down each side of the front
