One of the features of these rompers is the fact that the leg portions are open at the side for their entire length, so we must provide buttons and button-hoes for the closing, but we will first put on the belt
 Gather between double crosses and join to one long edge of the belt, bringing the notChes in the belt at the hemmed edge. Fold the belt on the perforations and stitch the second edge into place. Turn the seam allowance on the remainder of the belt under and stitch
 Now we are ready for the buttons and button-holes. Work button-hole in the center back of the belt and in each side just back of the opening and sew buttons on the backs of the rompers to correspond. Work button-holes in the hem on the right side of the back and sew buttons on the left. Then work button-holes at the back edge of each opening and one in each knee band and sew buttons on the front.
 Cut the trimming material on the bias, in strips two inches wide. Apply over the neck and sleeve edges and if the neck is square, mitre 1t at the corners. Stitch on both edges.
 When this is done the rompers are really complete, as the pockets are not necessary, but their addition makes each kiddie so happy that almost every mother will want them. Fold the upper edges under on the perforations and turn the amount you have allowed for seams under on all the other edges. Arrange one pocket over the left side of the body portion with the upper edge on the perforations and stitch into place. But slip the rompers on the little chap before placing the lower pocket. It

must be at just the right height. and ar range it where it will be the most con Venient.
 The leg portions can be opened out when the rompers are to be washed and ironed but 1t IS not necessary to open them en. tirely every time they are donned The belt buttons to the back and when the sides and back are buttoned into place, everything IS neat and secure. It will hardly take as much time to do the work as 1t has to read these directions and you will have shapely, well-fitting rompers for only few cents.
 SCalloped edges are very fashionable and they really do not mean much work. for we use heavy embroidery thread for the purpose and it fills up rapidly. Figured striped and plaid materials are prettier trimmed with plain goods, but plain gingham or butchers linen is very attrac- tive with the scalloped edges and, while it will add little time to the making, 1t is worth while if your time is not too precious, Colored scaliops on white are pretty and white scallops on colored goods are effective.
 If you like to finish the rompers just as they are shown in the large illustration, get transfer pattern of scallops with dots, the kind that requires only the pass ing of warm iron over it to stamp on your goods. Then button-hole and cut out on the edge. The mercerized rope thread is good to use and you will be sur pised to find how quickly the work can be done. Besides this is the kind of sewing you will like to do while you are sitting on the piazza if you are out of town on your vacation. or idling a morning on the beach. IL is really fancy work and every woman likes to have a piece of needlework on hand

PADS AND FANCIES
 OF FASHION

WYE are receiving daily advices from
 M the other side of the sea and it
 is evident that designers and dressmakers are busy preparing for the fall, but to most of us, the question of the appropriate costume for the moment is of vastly more interest than what we shall need when the heated season is past, so that real interest is found in present fashions rather than those of the future. in what accessories will freshen the costume that has seen service what will be pretty for the gown that Is in demand for an unexpected need.
 From Paris comes the insistent cry for black and white The combination is always cool in effect and is particularly lovely in the thin materials of summer As has been stated a great many times and as is self-evident fact, lace makes an important feature of summer fashions and lace is a most satisfactory material with which to bring about the desired combination. Charmeuse has become an established favorite both for costumes for the street and for carriage and dinner gowns. Exceedingly beautiful costumes are made of white charmeuse and black Chantilly lace and others again of the white satin with white lace that is lined
 
 filmy sort. Experience teaches that thin silks of the kind are not over-warm for midsummer wear and the combination of materials undoubtedly is beautiful. The introduction of the panier during the earlier season has resulted in great many draped effects. An exceedingly beautiful costume worn at an important function IS of white charmeuse with drapery of white Chantilly over black chiffon. The foun- dation skirt is straight and narrow as all foundations continue to be. Above generous hem, there IS wide band of the lined lace and there is softly draped over skirt of the same that is open at the front and drawn away at the lower edges to form beautiful folds. Both the founda- ton bodice and the over one are made in kimono style, but the over-bodice is cut out at the front much after the manner of a mans evening waistcoat. leaving the uncovered satin. Down the front of this under portion and down the front of the skirt above the band are set crystal but tons in continuous row, and the note of color that often IS found III these black

 Buttoned Into Place.
 Sun bonnets have the double advantage of being picturesque and practical This one is just as dainty and pretty as it can be. It frames the child's face after a most fascinating manner and at the same time protects it from sunburn and tan. In one view it Is shown with separate crown that is buttoned into place and in the other, the crown and brim are stitched together. and it can be made in either way with equal propriety. although the buttoned crown provides easier launder- ing. White linen. lawn and the like are much used for bonnets of this kind and for more practical uses, plaid ginghams and similar fabrics. Scalloped edges are extremely we'll liked and the little bonnet made after the manner illustrated with the brim embroidered and all the edges scalloped is dainty and charming, but, nevertheless, the simple plain bonnet that is made of plaid gingham is eminentiy to be desired for the morning hours.
 To make the bonnet for child of two years of age will be needed s4 yard of material P, 3o or A inches wide

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NOTES
County Fair-Canning Factory-Mem-
bership Dues.

The County Fair Committee have
been out soliciting subscriptions for
the stock Of the proposed company.
About one-half Of the business men
have been seen and $4.17O has been
subscribed. In order to secure the
fair it will be necessary for many of
the subscriptions to be doubled. The
farmers are also being solicited by
Mr.. Frank Williams.
y
1t will be necessary to close the
canning factory proposition within
the next thirty days i his factory ID
to be secured for Sumter. Tre far
mers have not responoej % tnc Ca.i
for acreage as they should have done.
About 130 acres OF sweet potatoes
have been pledged, SO of tomatoes
and the same for green beans. 1t is
thought that there are many farmers
who have delayed this matter and
they are requested to confer with the
factory will pay soc for tomatoes, soc
for potatoes. and 45c for green beans.
The company will be organized with a
capital Of $4,000 and work should
start upon the buildings by January
1st.
The Industrial Committee is now
figuring with two other proposed fac
tories which will be announced TO
the public as soon as the preliminary
arrangements are made. In both OF
these cases Sumter will be expected
to take part Of the capital stock. II
Sumter wants factories 1t must be ex-
pecSed 70 pay for them in stock sub
scriptions. Recently a plow factory
was proposed but upon consideration
~ the Industrial Committee and the
Board Of Directors 1t wss rhoueht
that the demands Of the promoters
were to great. This concern has since
been organized in Florence.
All membership fees are now due
and should be paid. The Chamber
needs the money. Instead of an an
nual fund Of $4,000 we need $4,000.
Spartanburg is raising $4,000. Sum-
ter has the best location in the State
for distributing houses and certain
factories There is only one way to
secure these factories. We must ad-
Vertise for them and when they come
TO Sumter with a good business-like
proposition we must be prepared to
meet their conditions. Distributing
houses and branch esta blishments can
often be located without local capitaI

new office buildings, new stores. i'm.
proved electrical and gas power sta
tions and generally improved faciu.
tles we are in a position to do ad.
vance work and to secure these new
agencies but ii takes money TO go af-
ter them. There are $50 members OF
the Chamber of Commerce There
should be 500. Many business houses
are not members who are receiving a
benefit from this work.
sumter needs more small cottages
and homes for rent or for sale. There
are at least twenty families looking
for houses TO rent. Since the pas
plant will soon be in operation. q
modern apartment house is needed
and would pay handsomely There
certainly could be no better invest
ment for capital.
