thing to do is to get good pattern
of princess slip. which is skirt and
corset cover combined. One can get
them in any bust measure and they
can be made open in the front or back
as ones dresses happen to be. Have
some one take your measures; 'front.'.
back, under arm to waist line, and
from waist line to the length the front
gore must be.
To alter the pattern, measure the
different pieces to waist line, as in
Dictated by the perforation and lay
pleat in each to make it the measure
you DESIRE Do the same with the
front gore, then fold over every other
skirt part gore the same number of
inches to insure an even length.
Perhaps the best material to use for
the top is long cloth which is fine and
strong, or, il one does not wish to
pay about IL cents per yard, bleached
muslin can be used. Cut the tops to
waist line perforations. Then have
your old skirt ripped up and pressed,
cut it according to the skirt part of
the pattern That is il it is a seven
gored one 1 do not know how a five
gored one would do, but think it
would contain sufficient material as
the slip is very much narrower than
the old style skirt Then having the
top and bottom cut, join at the waist
line, haste and try on and fit. 1t
care was taken in altering the pattern
and cutting, it should not require ex
ira fitting. Some of these slips are
long and finished with four or five
inch dust ruffle, and the aounce sewed
over. Others are cut only long
enough to sew the flounce on and have
it the right length. The dust ruffie
should be very scant; the founce two
and seven Fights yards around.
I recently remodeled four, and had
enough Of the founces left to trim
the tops. A part of the embroidered
founce was put from front to back
the desired depth, then a V shaped
piece was inserted" both back and
front to make the neck square. The
edges and also the piecing at waist
line was covered with insertion. The
other was Of lace, tucks and inser-
ton. Instead of putting in a V shap-
ed piece one was taken out making
the front come to point with VI
shaped piece; the lace part was turn
ed to the neck. The piecing at waist
line was covered with band of in
sertion. The long cloth must be cut
away from bene ath the trimming.
Finish arms eye with narrow bias
binding; the closing with buttons
and button holes.
After one has tried this kind of a
garment it is safe to say no others
will be considered for they are so easy
to make, wash and iron.
For ordinary wear they should be
five inches from the floor; for wear
under thin dresses they should be of
the same length as the dress with
which it is to be worn.

WILL CHANGE PATH
OF COMMERCE
COMPLETION OF PANAMA CANAL.
WILL DIVERT EUROPEAN
TRAFFIC WITH ORIENT.

Philadelphia, May 24.-Will the
main path of commerce from Europe
to the Orient continue to be east
ward through the Suez canal, or is
a large part of this tremendous vol
ume of traffic to be reflected to the
westward and moved to the far East
by way of the Panama canal. This
question was discussed today by
leading delegates to the International
Congress on Navigation, and in the
opinion of majority of the Panama
canal will get a large share of this
traffic.
Elmer L. Corthall, in paper on
the dimensions to he given 10 mari
time canals, predicts that the COM
pletion of Uncle Sans big ditch will
compel the Suez company to Increase
the dimensions of their canal, if they
wish to compete at all with Panama
for the Orient trade. Prince d'Arenb-
berg, president of the Suez company,
takes hopeful view of the situa-
ton, but admits that considerable
sums will have to be spent on i'm
provements at Snez. The bearing
of the canal situation upon the fu-
ture of ocean commerce is one OF
the most important and interesting
questions before the congress.

For a Time.
It's easy to understand how ordi
nary people get fooled by coffee
when doctors themselves sometimes
forget the facts.
physician speaks of his own eX-
perience:
Il had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe i
was injuring me although | had pal
pitation of the heart every day. (Tea
contains cafeine-the same drug
found in coffee-and is just as harm
ful as Coffee.)
Finally one day a severe and
almost fatal attack OF heart trouble
frightened me and ! gave up both
tea and coffee, using Postua instead
and since that time / have had alb
solutely no heart palpitation except
on one or two occasions when |
tried a small quantity OF conee which
caused irritation and proved to me
| must let it alone.
When we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to direc-
tions-but now We put a little bit Of
butter in the pot when boiling and
allow the Postum to boil full 15 min
utes, which gives it the proper rich
flavor and the deep brown colo.
Il have advised great many Vi
my friends and patients to leave off
coffee and drink Postum, in fact !
daily give this advice" Name given
By Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place OF tea and coffee
in their own homes and prescribe
it to patients.

planned in the little book, "The Road
