'TOM" TELLS PATRICIA
"WHY?v

Dear Miss Grey: 1 agree
with patricia" that 1t is
proper that the young man
should take her out, after
she entertains him at her
home.
L am sure he is not self
ish, possibly thoughtless. I
think as you, Miss Grey, that
1t is probable the young man
likes the so-called s'home."
This especially appeals TO the
men of moderate circum-
stances. We like to take our
girl friends TO the very best
shows when we can, but it
is not always possible. Not
that we are eight" but we
sometimes have to be careful.
AS q means of good whole
some enjoyment, I take my
friend to the best picture
shows. It's inexpt 1sive and
entertaining, and she enjoys
it.
The true, thoughtful girl
is the girl who will not al
low a fellow to elbow her

kind who is always liked.

THE HOME
DRESSMAKER
MATCHING ARMHOLE AND
SLEEVE,

SLEEVE,
"Is there any rule which may
be depended on for putting
sleeves into a waist correctly"
The question is asked as often
as there are seconds in a minute
by women who try to do their
own sewing. Unless you know
how to put sleeve into a waist
1t is one of the most battling bits
of work in the dressmaking art.
Fortunately there is n general
rule which usually works success
fully If carefully followed. In
fact, there are two good rules:
The average, normal-sized arm
hole measures from IA 1-2 to
Is 1-2 inches. For this sized
armhole the point for the front or
inside seam of a sleeve is 2 3S
inches towards the front, measure
ing from the under-seam of the
waist toward the front. Pin the
seam to the armhole at that point,
then measure from the UNDER
arm seam of the waist towards
the front 4 1-2 inches and pin the
sleeve in at that point. Then
measure again from the UNDER
arm seam of the waist up towards
the back 1-2 inches and pint the
sleeve there. Between the 12
and 9 1-2 points the sleeve is
basted plain into the armhole,
and the waist should be held to-
wards you during this basting to
preserve the curves.
Holding the sleeve next to you
gather the remaining edge, and
haste into the armhole, distribute
ing whatever gathers there may
be, with perfect evenness.
The second rule is to crease
the waist, on warp thread, close
to the armhole, beginning at the
shoulder seam and extending to a
short distance below the bottom
of the armhole. Then crease on a
warp thread, close to the bottom
of the armhole, letting this crease
cross the first one. At the in
tersection of these creased lines
make a third crease diagonally up
to the armhole. Pin the inside
seam of the cleeve at the point
"a here the creased line touches
TIE armhole. Follow the other
measurements for basting the
sleeve in.
To make a sleeve set right
across the top, after 1t is stitched
in and the seam finished, turn
the seam towards the shoulder
seam, and where there is a lining
for a distance of two or three
inches across the top. Where
there is no lining stitch it on the
machine.

sensible and humane answers
to the wise and otherwise
cases put before you has
tempted me to lay my COM
plant with the others.
To begin with, 1 notice
you invariably recommend
against marriages of con-
veniences," and i agree with
you. But l have been won
dering If you would give the
same advice against return-
ing to a husband for the
sake of q home?
1 married my husband sew
eral years ago, and although
we had little wealth, we were
very happy As time went
on, we grew better eff, and
like many another, he could
not stand prosperity. He be-
came a confirmed drunkard.
Absolutely without cause, as
he admitted in his sober mo-
ments, he became insanely
jealous, even of my sister
and woman friends. He was
obscene, brutal, and beastial.
Finally I left in cheer des-
peration, and by SO doing
forfeited my share of his
estate, according to the laws
of his country. Now L am
broke, down and out, and
prevented by diseased limb
from earning a living by
manual labor.
He offers me my home and
begs me to return for baby's
sake. 1 know it would sim
ply be a return to the old
conditions. But his money
would give the child the
chance that 1 am unable to
give her. And he idolizes
her. Even in his drunken
RACES he would show a wor-
shipping love for the child.
1 would not give her up,
and rather than give her to
him, 1 would take her with
me ''tO oblivion" That it is
foolish to talk like that, I'll
admit, but what is one to do?
i am half sick with worry,
and the mere thought of CO.
ing back to him is nauseat-
ing. Sometimes, though, L
think L could go anywhere,
do anhtying rather than see
my wee grille deprived of the
joys of childhood. Already
she is talking of Santa Claus.
Thank goodness she is not
old enough TO miss a Thanks

sell some of my clothes to
buy others for her and food
