furious rate of speed, approached
from the north The old man was
directly in the path of the car and
by an effort that seemed TO consume
every ounce of strength in his body,
he tried to run to the sidewalk. Fear
combined with feebleness made his
effort to run appear ludic. GUS and
the driver of the automobile, thor

not make any effort to check the
speed ~
When within ten feet of the old
man the motorist gave the steering
apparatus a sudden turn and tho

When the old man reached the pave

ported himself against the wall Of a
building and it was several minutes
before he had sufficiently recovered
from the shock TO proceed on his
Journey.

USE OF BELTS AND GIRDLES

The long, unbroken lines in recent
dress styles are being replaced by
broken line effects at the waist. a
large proportion of the smartest dresses
for evening, afternoon and street wear
have the waist line accentuated by the
use of belts, girdes and sashes. 1t is
almost the exception to see a dress of
any kind which is not made with a girdle
or belt Some of them fasten in the
'front.' some in the back some are made
with ends ard others are finished in the
front with a stiff pleated tailored bow.
There is tendency to trim dresses
with strong color contrasts in oriental
colors and designs. Velvet dresses with
touches of oriental embroidery have the
same effect on the sirdle, revers or col
lar and cuffs
The crushed girdle, sometimes to a
depth of six inches, is worn with even
ing dresses. Extreme models have a
broad bow finish in the back, with sash
ends. These sashes are made of satin
or maline, and are often caught in with
the drapery.
Dancing frocks for young girls have

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

Astonishing things can be done with
the fanciful weaves that fashion has at
last consented to permit us to use. For
many seasons we have been more or
less confined to plain fabrics with the
result that however varied the ways of
making them up. there was always con-
siderable monotony about prevailing
style. All that is changed now as if by
magic. Nothing is too odd or too diff
ferent to be just the thing, in one way
or another. and no scrap is too small
to he made use of somewhere. In spite
of the luxurious aspect of clothes in
general it is really a season when econO-
mics are not only possible. but interest
ing.
In the model sketched. a fetching cos
tune designed for formal afternoon wear,
an olive green broadcloth is combined
with green and gold diagonal striped vel
vet and fur. There is long, plain skirt
of the velvet with tunic hung straight
around at the top across the front, back
and one side and caught high up at the
other, forming a low drapery with skunk
banding trimming the lower edge and
emphasizing the graceful outline.
The top shows an attractive bolero.

side. The bolero has long. close sleeves

bolero wrinkling under the arm into
curving folds that accentuate the shape

manner. EpauletS of cloth applied
to the sleeve and shoulder bands of fur
across the shoulders. Fur also edges the
long sleeves and series of tiny bone
buttons along the edge of the bolero
makes up another telling detail.
There are SO many ways of introducing
original touches this season that fashion
may be said to be almost matter of
individuality. which is. of course, just
what it should be and what the critics
of dress have been hoping for so long.

An Easy Lesson in
Home Dressmaking

A we'll fitted coat will hold its shape
to the figure and hang straight along
the front edges when unbuttoned If the
coat is inclined to flare away pin several
small, dartlike tucks about one-quarter
of an inch deep at the front edge and
sloping to point about two inches back.
just over the bust. These tucks must be
marked with a thread and the pins re-
moved.
The canvas is cut accura tely along the
line of baSting thread. The slashed edges
are brought together and a piece of mus
gether and the canvas in shape. The full
ness in the cloth is disposed of by gath
ering the edge to fit the canvas, after
which it is dampened and shrunk with d
hot iron.
| The front edges OF the coat and those
| of the lapels must be tapped, in order to
make them firm and give a good shaping
! to the edges. At the crease of the lapel,
! toward the inside of the coat, ma row
! linen tape is sewed to the canvas To
prevent stretching it must be drawn
tight and the edges of the coat are again
pressed
The front facing and that for the collar
must be cut to fit the coat. and If altera-
lions have been made in the coat the
surest way to get satisfactory results is
to lay the strip of cloth to be used as a
facing over the fronts of the coat and
turned lapels and haste it in this position
before cutting it out. The facing should
extend about three and One-ha!f inches
inside of the center front line.

A Straight Strip.

The front edges of the right side of both
the lining and coat must be faced with a
straight strip of the lining material, about
two and one-half inches wide, one edge of
which is turned down and hemmed along
the line of stitching. After both the coat
front and the front of the facing have
been faced the two edges are basted to-
gether and a single line of stitching is
made one and one-haif inches back from
the edge. running from the turned lapel
to the bottom of the coat.

it is not perfectly clear to you how to so

how to proceed. The edges of the coat

Facing the Collar.

The collar facing. if OF cloth should be
cut without ID seam and from the cross
grain of the material Velvet should be
cut on the bias.
After the collar facing is fitted join the
ends to those of the front facings and
press the seams open. Basic the facinss
to the canvas of the collar and to the
fronts of the coat about two inches from
the edges. Turn in the edges of both the
coat and the facingS and haste them to-
gether ready to stitch.
With this finish, the buttonholes are
worked through both the facing and coat
material.
If a fly finish is preferred leave the edge
| of the facing of the right side separate
| from the coat below the lapel, and the
| facing will form the fly. Turn the edges
| of both the coat and facing in to match
the rest of the coat and on the edge OF

the edge of both the coat and facing d
