LETTING DOWN THE
LAST YEARS RROCK
That Has Been 0utgrown by the
Little Maid.

Mothers OF growing girls are frequent
ly harassed by the way the children
constantly grow too large for their
clothes Last seasons dresses are al
ways too small, while the materials are
perfectly good and will easily stand an
other summers wear.
When lengthening the sleeves Of
dresses. add cuffs OF new material, II
the material In the frcck has not faded
to a too marked degree: but II this is
the case. a band of white linen or any
contrasting color may be substituted.
This can be put on as a folded-oack
cuff. or a straight one II a trimming Of
narrow braid is put on at the Joining
point.
II the waist line OF the dress Is too
short II can be heightened by inserting
a broad belt OF the same material used
for the cuffs The length OF the skirt
may also be increased in this manner
II there Is not a deep enough hem to let
II out. or II the skirt has faded.
When lengthening a hem, rip out the
stitching and press with a hot iron
over a damp cloth in order to get rid
OF the crease around the edge before
the facing Is sewed on. You VIII find
1t much easier to adjust the facing
smoothly by this method than II you
do the work first and press It after
ward.
LenEthened with Lace.
Dresses made Of sheer lawn, dimities.
or any thin material may have the
skirts heightened by setting in several
rows of lace Insertion; fine tucks can
be placed between the rows II you wish,
and the hens OF the frocks can be edged
with lace.
Children's petticoats should always be
made with tucks, so they can be let
down. II this is not enough to make
them the desired length. a rune Of en-
broidery can be added to the bottom Of
the hem. Flannel skirts are made longer
by adding a row of crccheted lace
around the hem and one or two rows of
insertion above the hem.
When making frocks OF serge or other
thick material, II is best to lay a small
piece directly under the elbow: in case
the sleeve wears out at that point, the
hole can be darned down neatly with
out the necessity Of slipping a piece
underneath. Always use ravelings of
the materials TO darn a woolen frock. A
piece should be kept from the new ma
terial for this very purpose This saves
matching the material in darning wool
and also renders the darned place almost
invisible.

The vogue is to wear a wrap or lace
over afternoon and evening gowns.

In chlldren's coats one sees the
new oriental aud Persian silk Innings
which have been so delightful Tor
women's coats,
Collars on some Of the thin light
dresses are 80 deep Rs TO resemble
oapes and are often OF embroidered
bntiste.
Many slender skirts OF accordion
pieats are seen IN Paris, Usually they
are draped nearly 70 the knees and
fall straight below,
On SEMI tailored waists IN white
touch OF color appears IN girdles,
buttons, vests aud collars, Dark
waists have white trimmings.
Corsets are lower than ever IN the
bust. IN fact, almost all the most re-
cent models are practically girdle
tops
Broadtail, fat caracul. ,sealskIn,
moleskin, the new ohihchilla squirrel
and ermine are used as narrow edg-
ings on the dresaier suits for the
coming season.
The very carefully designed pam
nier coat Will probably be seen a good
deal among autumn evening wraps.
II not handled carefully, the pannier
Is not q success on outer garments
The white season is affecting even
negligees. Far more than usual OF
these airy garments are seen, made
Of India silk and lawn, fine linen,
voIle, allover embroidery and lace.
The most open OF such negligees re-
quire silk slip underneath.
This summers delicate and ephem-
eral parasols positively require to
live IN dustproof bags when they are
not In use. Four pieces Of linen or
other sturdy material should be cut
six inches wide along the top and two
inches at the bottom, then these
should be sewed together and run
with ribbon top and bottom, 80 as to
pull up securely when the parasol is
inside.

Some Of the new dark tailored suits

rose, blue and other tones.
Some OF the large hats are entirely
covered with silk, loosely draped over
crown and brim IN such a way as

Mousquetaire sleeves are favored
among the long styles. But three
quarter sleeves are still used for
dressy gowns and suits.
Little wings, usually In white, black

! JaekaIs and croeodII. Enn,-

Jackals and hyenas are very fond of
crocodile eggs. The former is the more
successful poacher of the two. Ma
tives of central Africa say that the
jackai has sixteen eyes. with one OF
which he watches the eggs and with
the fifteen others he looks out for the
crocodile. The hyena, on the other
hand, being very greedy, has all his
eyes on the eggs and so often falls a
victim to the watchful crocodile in mo-
tionless hiding. The natives say, too,
that the crocodile sometimes knocks
its prey Off the bank or off the canoe
with its tail and then seizes it with its
wide open jaws.

camphor LAUREL, In Ianan.

There is a stringent law in Japan
that when one camphor laurel is cut
down another must be planted in its
place. The tree is hardy and long lived,
attaining to an enormous size. Il is
covered with a small leaf Of a vivid
green color. The seed. or berries. grow
In clusters, resembling the black cur.
rant in size and appearance. And the
wood is employed for every purpose,
from cabinetmaking to shipbuilding.

HINTS BY MAY MANTON
A SMART AND
Nd
USEFUL GARNITURE

=
What is variously known as a gar
niture, over-blouse and ouirasse,
makes one Of the most practical ac-
cessories of dress and is exceedingly
smart. Can be made from all-over lace
finished with a little edge or It can
be made Of taffeta braided or embroid-
ery, or It can be made Of lawn ba-
tiste or linen, trimmed fifth embroid-
cry or lace banding, or II can be made
Of rows of lace banding sewed to-
gether to make an exceedingly smart
effect, and however 1t Is treated, ad-
justed over the gown, It completely
transforms a plain one into a dressy
one, and withal, It means very little
labor for the making. There are only
two pieces and only the shoulder
seams. The garniture is slipped on
over the head and held to position at
the waist line by belt or cord girdle.
The belt can be arranged over the
garniture or passed through slashes
as indicated in the back view. The
peplum can be made square or point
ed and simple as the garniture is. Il
is found to serve for many occasions
and for many purposes. Colored taf-
feta finished with scallops and ad-
justed over a white lingerie gown is
charming. Lace always is handsome
and the various treatments suggested
will find a place.
For the medium size, the garniture
will require 1-2 yards Is or rs yard
36 or "A inches wide with IA yards
of lace edging or banding.
The May Manton pattern 7475 is
cut in three sizes, small "a or SO, me-
dium 38 or 40, large "a OF "A bust. Il

A CRAZE FOR
TAFFETA EXPECTED,
MIIIIn3rS and Modistes Exploit.
ing Il In Spring Designs.

II ore can judge the future by the
present we will be wearing taffeta for
everything except underwear. Even
the rumors last November Of what was
to happen in the spring were not half
as serious as the condition.
The miliiners, as usual, have the first
showing, and they have invented hats
Of every degree in taffeta of every
color, shot and plain. If you have seen
any OF the displays during the last two
or three days you must have marvelcd
as TO why and how every one seemed
to unite on taffeta on the same day.
Whole hats are made of 1t. large hats
have crowns of it, small hats have
bows Of it, all shapes have brims OF It.
Straw is quite thrown in the back
ground by the appearance OF this soft.
iridescent silk that is a rich cousin to
the taffetas Of other days. 1t Is akin 20
satin and therefore will find a warm
place in the hearts of large multitude.
The French milliners are not using
the silk as lavishly as the American
ones, but as both are combining to use
it in many ways there will be little
chance Of escape from it as soon as the
spring season in millinery starts in.
1t has long ceased to be the fashion
to wait for Easter to display ones hats
or, in fact. 10 wait for any glimpse OF
warm weather.

Concerninu Coats.

The cut OF the coats again shows the
straight line from shoulder to hem,
says the Dry Goods Economist. While
there is no indication of any attempt
to draw in the figure in any exaggerat-
ed way, the absence of fullness in the
skirt gives the appearance Of slimness.

Fashion Fancies,

Gold lace is used to a great extent

The new lingerie blouses are to be
trimmed with tichus, set up high On
the waist and giving the effect OF a
collar.

Few pompadours or elevations of any
kind are worn. The hair is dressed to
make the head appear small.

front with a wide flap, the same idea

An attractive boudoir cap is in the
shape Of an empire drummer cap,
much like the cooked hats children
fold from newspapers.

again and is likely to count strongly
among hat trimmings during the next
three months.
