Basting the Seams.

The patterns are bought by the bust
measure, and as a rule very little fitting
is required. After the goods is cut out
and all preparations. notches and num-
bers carefully marked. the tucks and
piaits provided for must be basted ac-
cording to the directions on the pattern
label. then stitched and pressed before
the various pieces of the garment are
Joined.
Except in very heavy materials the
seams are basted so they come on the
right side. At this stage the waist Is
tried on and pinned in position at the
back front, wherever the waist IS
to close.
The neck is first to be considered One
must be careful when making any adj
justment necessary.
If the waist is to be worn with stock
or Numbered linen collar the goods must
not be cut away too much. but rather
must fit snugiy to the base Of tho neck
without being tight or high.

Valuable Hints
For the Hostess

Those who have country homes are
more out of doors than ever in this mont n
OF brilliant days. yet there is much work
going on within doors. even in the coun-
try, preparatory to making outdoor living
possible. 1t is the month of garden par
ties and festivities of social kind. a
month of light frocks and light food and
the housewife looks about her for -. Is,
as to making the house cool and as to
the production of dainty. appetizing dishes
for the table
Specifics for keeping cool in hot weather
are put forward from time to time by
those who have fads and want to air
them, but in the case of houses each idea
must be considered separately by those
who inhabit them.
\ suggestion might be taken from the
method pursued in hot countries, for in

OF outside blinds, especially of wooden
shutters, which close down the middle
These shutters allow the windows to be
left wide open inside the room. or wet

aperture and kept moist to prevent the
entrance of flies and other insects
The shutters themselves need only be
drawn together and not fastened, making
room beautifully cool and dark
Wnere there are no wooden shutters
very thick striped material can be used
for blinds. which will shut off the sun
Very eifectually, but is apt to make a
room rather stuffy.
One of the universal demands in hot
weather is cooling drinks. Iced tea seems
to appeal to great many people when it
is made also lemonade. To a quart of
rather weak tea allow ut least four lem
ons. and YOU will find that the mixture
will please those who dislike the plain
tea. This solution can be modified to suit
the tastes

night before. and placed next to the ice

Fitting the Neck.

If il is too large at this point it may
be necessary to take up the shoulder
seams in order to bring the goods closer
to the neck. Whether they are taken
up an equal distance straight across. or
slanted from the neck to the armholes,
will depend upon the set of the garment
1t will be well first to try taking up the
seam all the way across. but If the arm
hole pulls. or the waist is drawn out OF
place. then the seam must be slanted.
When this change is made the material
may be little high at the center, front
or back OF the neck. and. il 20, must be
rounded out to fit.

SHOES TOO LOOSE.

Two-thirds Of modern foot trouble are due
10 tho fact that almost every one-man'
woman and child-wears his shoe too loose.
remarks a writer in THE Woman's Home
Companion" The shoe itself may be cor
rect as to size and shape, but it is not
fastened tight at the only point OF control:
namely, the instep. When you set your
foot upon the moor or pavement in the act
of walking, the shoe adheres and, II 1t be
loosely fastened over the instep, the foot
pushes down into the toe Of the shoe At
certain spots on the foot this slipping
causes friction. These spots are the soles
Of the feet; the tops, ends and inner sides
Of the toes: the great and little toe joints.
and occasionally even the back of the heel.
When the friction thus caused is continued
hour after hour and day after day, one or
more OF these spots 10 almost sure TO be-

ing. called "callus," is formed. As tho
friction and pressure go on the resulting

SMART BLACK NECKWEAR
It Comes in Many Styles, Usually
with White Added.

Black stocks so generally worn few
years ago, have certainly come into their
own again. They have not yet been ac-
nuired By the masses. but one glances up
frequently on Fifth avenue or in the ex-
elusive shops to notice them on well
dressed women. There IS no fixed style
for them; they are produced In innnite
variety by the makers of smart neckwear.
while many OF the most becoming ones are
doubtless tho inspiration OF the wearers
themselves and the work OF their own
hands. A predominating style Is straight
collar or one made OF folds Of the material.
with tabs, crossed loops. four-in-hand
tic or merely trimmings OF black buttons.
Whether Of satin. taffeta. moire or corded
silk these black stocks usually have some
white about them. The very ultra one
among the severer types, has top piece
Of white pique, which Is about three-quar-
ters OF the length OF the stock proper. ana
leaves an opening just under the chin
Where the plaue band ends there is the ap-
pearance OF wings. With other stocks the
white pique or linen band extends clear
around. The little fancy embroidery or
lace turnoyers. which usually appeared on
the black stock few years ago, are not
worn lust now, though time Will probably
bring them into vogue again, as history
has a sure way OF repeating itself In fash
ions as elsewhere.
