SARTORIAL HINTS.
BY Elizab beth Lee.

One of the greatest comforts in the
wardrobe Of the elderly woman is a pret-
ty neglige, not too fragile for general
wear, but sufficiently dainty and pretty
to wear should an intimate friend drop
in informally, or perhaps for the home
dinner when one is prevented from
dressing more in detail.
Something, in fact, between an elabor
ate tea gown and an ordinary long neg
lige.
To me the bordered goods seem especial
ly adaptable for making up into gowns
on this order, and this design is seen
on all the fabrics suitable for such de-
velopment.
There are the soft Indias and foulards
in the prettiest colorings. also challies
and substantial looking marQuisettes, all
showing lovely borders.
l saw a very dainty silk recently In
foulard, red printed on ivory, that |
fancied made up with creamy lace and
black velvet ribbons. l can imagine
very smart looking gown OF this silk built
on simple lines, as all negliges of this
kind should be.
The material might be shirred along the
plain edge to high waist line, the border
forming the bottom of the gown. The
closing could be at the left side If the
first shirring is made with heading no
opening over very small could be
finished with a wide lingerie collar, fichu
fashion, caught at the bust with knot
of black velvet holding a strand twisted
to the waist line closing, there knotted
again. long loops and ends falling down
the skirt. The sleeves could be in small
bell style falling over lingerie ruffles.
1t does not require great deal of skill
to fashion q neglige Any amateur might
make the attempt II provided with a
good pattern.
AS the silk is wide, four yards at 81 q
have seen it less) will be ample. The
velvet will probably cost another dollar,
while the collar may be just what one
wishes to pay for it. or it may be the

with a fluffy looking frill or ruchins of
something light, as lace or point de spirit
While the silk neglige will be lovely, it
the less expensive garment of bordered
challis, perhaps more SO, unless the
challis is very light and dainty looking.
This fabric in the darker colors Is not
quite suitable for evening wear, while
the silk answers for both day and even
The challis are pretty, made up with

creating a broad belt, and another at

down both back and front shirred sew
eral times at the waist line and then to
set on the bordered goods as an outline
to the panels, the borders running from
shoulder to hem both back and front.

figure and has all the effect (when fin
!! ished) Of a tunic in princess style.
The neck is cut out and finished with
a soft net tucker The closing is down

tunic Of white chiffon cloth. The train.
narrow and straight, is of the satin and
falls from the girdle-which, also, IS or
square end, several inches beyond the
rest Of the skirt.
The corsage is Of the violet satin
draped with a fichu ruffied like the tuplc
top, one side with a spray of satin roses
and the other with ruffie. Ihen there
is little skeleton yoke of the mousse
line. The roses figure again in a spray
holding down one point of the tunlc, ana,
it should be noticed. the line which they
make follows precisely the diagonal Of
the one on the corsage
1t is one of the important features OF
the new spring fashions that, with all
the tendency TO frills and furbeloWs,
there Is always symmetrical arrange
ment of trimming which prevents the
general ensemble effect from assuming a
mixed-up appearance that would De very
apt to result otherwise. and there are
innumerable subtle details that, though
they tax the ingenuity of the designer,
perhaps, to the uttermost. pass unnoticeo,
or, at least, unappreciated by the casual
observer of a finished gown.

folds with which some Of them are start
ed at the waist line should be arranged
with precision; any trimming such as the
ruffiing of the panniers in the sketch
should be of such nature as to preserve
the intended character OF the panniers,
and above all, the panniers themselves
should be constructed of a length and
breadth to suit the figure upon which
they are to be draped

the more they are condensed the deeper

There is a certain type Of person who
Is appreciated in every walk of life, the
home, the Office, the pulpit, the social
function, the schoolroom; in short, every
where-and that is the man or woman
who knows how to say what he or she
has to say and then stop.
How few people We know who talk too
little. And how many who are guilty of
the opposite offense! A great writer
has said that the smallest part Of his
art is in knowing what to write, the
largest part in knowing what to leave
out and when to stop. Apparently most
of us find the same difficulty In con-
versation-we have no trouble in finding
enough to talk about, but we do have
difficulty in knowing when to stop. AS
the wearied listener said of the speaker
who missed many excellent opportunities
to bring his speech to close: Our
terminal facilities seem to have been
neglected..
A recognition of the need of greater
conciseness, if much is to be accom-
plished, is expressed in the little sign
which hangs in so many business offices,

chance to leave a conversational meal
with this feeling, but think on the rare
occasions when we do meet with a COM
panion who really talks so sparingly and
has SO much reserve that we wish to
hear more from him, instead Of less, the
result is that his words are much more
carefully needed and better digested.
Although most of us are In q hurry
these days, we do not seem to have ac-
quired the fine art Of conciseness. And
that does not mean omitting half what
one really has to say or cutting 1t short
to save time. That's the kind Of haste
that makes waste. 1t means the fine art
of having something worth saying, say.
