TAILORED sHIRTwAIsTs.

The imam tailored shirtwaist to
wear with the spring suit will be one OF
the most popular fashions for the COM
ing months, the sensible lines of these
smart wash silk blouses and their gem
eral becomingness making them an ex-
cellent model.
They are. however. one of the most
difficult waists for the home dressmak-
err. There is no chance to drape the
goods to lend an artistic finish. and no
chance to gain an elaborate effect with
trimming. for the cut and the finish are
what gives to these tailored waists their
charm.
In the first place. buy good silk. Thin
and cheap silks never look we'll after
they are washed, and seldom set we'll.
Secondly. buy a good pattern. and be
sure 1t ia the right size. Don't be
afraid to haste your waist. and alter it
wv OF three times. ii. necessary, for
h fitting is very important.
The sleeves should be without full
ness. and set into the slightly elongated
shoulder with two rows of stitching,
the same ne a mans shirt. while the
collar bands should be cut with care
and fitted well, SO that no fullness need
be given to h front of the blouse.
Collar and cuffs should be interlined
with heavy muslin. and buttons with
shanks and rings should be used. since
these blouses wash better and iron
more smoothly II no buttons are left on.
