The Placket.

The placket is then folded over SO that
the faced edge meets the stitched edge of
the extention. and the seam below the
is almost always finished in the regular
way. When the placket is at the center
back the seam is always on the bias. and
therefore must, in order to prevent its
stretching and thus allowing the skirt 10
sag, have a tape basted and stitched in
with the seam. The tape must be KEEP,
straight and not allowed to sag or be
pulled. The skirt is turned on the wrong
side, and, with the placket closed, the
lower edges of the extension and facing
pieces are overcast together.
Betting Skirt.
If belt is to be used as the waist fin
ish for the skirt, nothing is nicer for the
purpose than a piece of heavy silk ribbon
about one and one-half inches wide
Grosgrain is preferable to other weaves.
1t is applied by basting the ribbon along
the right side of the top of the skirt, SO
that the lower edge of the ribbon comes
e-uuarter of an inch below the edge
of the material. The ribbon is then dou-
bled over SO that it completely hides the
raw edge at the top of the skirt, and is
pasted In TINS position "A Slngle row oi
stitching holds the belt in place. When
a belt of the material is preferred a
lengthwise strip Of the goods must be
used. The piece should be about two
inches wide, and one edge is Joined to the
waist line of the skirt with an ordinary
seam The opposite edge of the strip is
turned down one-quarter of an inch and
the goods folded over SO that 1t conceals
the raw edges of the seam. The edge
of the belt should be hemmed by hand to
the wrong side of the skirt, and row of
stitching made to finish the ends and
top of the belt.
For very stout figures a facing is pref
erable as waist finish for a skirt. and
it is applied in the same way as on the
drop skirt.

PAWN BROKERS DO NOT
ALWAYS LAND ON TOP
BY Associated Prssa-

New York, June 21.-The pawn
broker does not always get the best
of 1t. An investigating committee here
has just found out that 200 pawn
brokers in New York City have on
hand several thousand summer unfit
orms on which they allowed police
men from SO to $50 apiece.
The pawn brokers say they have
been accustomed to take up these po-
lice uniforms in the fall, saving the
police the bother of slowing them away
IN moth balls They generally allowed
the bluecoats liberal sums in the be-
lief that the pawn tickets would be
promptly redeemed in the spring. Now
il develops that a new type Of uni
form has been adopted and none of
the policemen are going back for their
old suits The result is that pawn
brokers are selling out at 81 a piece
uuif rms on which they allowed from
three to five times that amount.
