Unusual Machine
Work

Hemstitching can be very neatly
way: Draw the number of threads de-
sired and haste the edge of the hem in
the centre of the drawn threads.
Lengthen the stitch on the machine
and stitch on the very edge Of the hem.
Pull the hastings out I'M pull the edge
of the hem to the bottom Of the drawn
threads. Hemstitching done this way
can scarcely he distinguished from that
done by hand.
Another way to hemstitch when you
wish to join two pieces of material Is &c
fold several thicknesses Of blottine
paper together and lay one piece of
material on one side and one piece on
the other, with the folds Of paper be-
tween. Keeping the edges perfectly
even, stitch through the material and
paper, having a very long stitch on the
machine, When the seam is sewed,
pull out the paper, crease back the
edges of the seam and stitch again on
both edges, having the long threads of
the former stitching pulled apart the
full width. This, too, makes a very
neat line of hemstitching.
The sewing machine can be employed
in mending torn lace. Draw the edges
of the tear together and haste it on a
piece of thin paper.
Then stitch back and forth as many
times as it is necessary, and when fin
ished carefully Q a off the paper.
Lace mended this way will be much
heater and more durable than when
darned by hand.

For the Traveller

A convenient trunk cover for those
contemplating a journey or for the
woman who is forced to live in a hotel
is made Of strong cretonne or denim.
Cut 1t to exactly fit the trunk. having
the top one Inch larger than the trunks
lid all the way around. and the ends
and sides cut long enough to allow a
two-inch hem around the bottom.
Through this hem run a strong tape
that will act as a drawstring, making
a bag of the trunk cover, so that in
case Of fire you can empty the con-
tents Of the trunk into the improvised
bag n throw it out of the window or
carry it down stairs.
When stitching the cover together be
sure to MAKE French seams or use a
double row Of stitching, so there will
be no danger of seams ripping if the
bag is Allied with clothing and other
articles.

BY MAY MANTON.
FOR YOUNG GIRLS AND
SMALL WOMEN.

Both young girls and small women
are sure to like this design. 1t gives
lust the lines that are needed for
youthful figures, and it includes the
very latest features of the season. The
three-piece skirt is Tapped over a foun-
dation to give a tunic effect. The
blouse is made with sleeves sewed to
the armholes, and the neck edge can
be finished with a shawl collar or made
high with single revers, also the sleeves
can be made in the elbow or full
length. The frock that means all these
possibilities cannot fail to fill a big
need. In the illustration it is made of
plain wool material combined with
striped silk. Practical women will see
at a glance it's possibilities for remodel
ing, for any two harmonizing materials
car be used. silk and velvet with wool
are much liked, but there are many
others equally correct. lust now, when
many of us are thinking of the sunny
South, linen and cotton poplins suggest
themselves as good materials for such
treatment. When the shawl collar is
used the neck can be finished, as in
this instance, with a little piece Of lace,
arranged to give the suggestion of a
chemisette, or it can be left open.
For the 16-year-old size will be re-
quired 55s yards of material 81, 3a
yards SO or "A inches wide, with 2lz
yards of silk for the trimming and
sash.
A May Manton pattern, No. 1872, is
cut in sizes for misses of ID, 16 and IS
years of age, and will be mailed to any
address by the fashion department of
this paper on receipt Of ten cents.

To Clean China Silk Dress.

Dear Miss Doom:
Kindly let me know through the medium
of the Evening STAR how to clean a blue

very soiled. Would it be practical to wash
it In soap bark? A. ,.
The best way TO clean it will be to
wash it in gasoline. Use the gasoline
as you would soap and water. Rub the
dress in it and then hang it out in
the afr for a day. Remember that
gasoline is explosive, so do not use it
In a heated room or when the gas is
burning. II you wish to be economical
you can use the same gasoline several
times by permitting it to settle after
you are through the washing. straining
Off the top and rebottling it.
