Demand Created by Revival Of
Directoire Fashions.

The revival Of the directoire fashions
marks the return of the inevitable sash.
This is a welcome fact TO most women
who realize what an Improvement saAhes
are to any frock
Black velvet or satin Is a fayorite ma
teriaI for the directoire sash-girdle.
These are not difheult to make and
are inexpensive II fashioned at home. II
requires three yards OF three-ineh RIB
bon velvet Three-fourths Of . yard

three hooks and eyes TO fasten al the
side.
The longer sash end should be cut one
and fhree-quarters yards and the shorter
one yard long. The ends are bordered
with a deep silk fringe.
II black satin is used II requires one
and one-half yards. Cut the strips bias,

THE YOKE OR GUIMPE SHOULD
BE MADE TO FIT PROPERLY

One Of the most important parts OF .
woman's gown is the net yoke or guimpe.
yet few women are able 20 make net
yoke fit and set properly. Women do
not realize either that styles change in
materials for yoKes and undersleeves
Just as they do in fabrics for dresses.
This season fine white cotton net. silk
net, point desprit. shadow net and
tucked chiffon are the accepted materials
for this purpose.
II you have q low-cut evening gown,
but wish to wear a thin covering over
your skin, make a guimpe and collar of
fiesh-colored maline over very thin white
chiffon
The erect at q short distance VIII be
that OF a bare neck, yet at close view
will be thinly veiled.
White yokes require frequent cleaning,
and as II IL a great trouble to rip a
yoke out OF q gown. clean II and sew II
In again. II Is best to provide yourself
with two or three guimpes rather than
attached yokes.
Trimmed Down the Center.
Some OF the deeper yoles Of plain net
are trimmed down the center 'front.' with
q VI Aiug pcaAl NAOShCNCu
buttons. Joined together by narrow braid
or velvet ribbon. OccI sionaliy insets of
lace motifs are used as trimming and the
collar is finished with q narrow edge Of
Irish crochet.
One yard OF double width net is suf-
hcient 10 make guimpe and undersleeve
for the average-size woman. 1t Is best
to cut the guimpe without any seams on
the shoulders. To do this, haste your
blouse pattern together at the shoulder
without allowing for 4 seam, lay this on
q piece Of thin muslin or old lining and
cut a pattern from that.
Now try on the lining and see that IL
fits perfectly before you cut into the net.
This done, fold the net so that the CEN
ter front will come on a bias fold. BY so
doing the yoke will fit much smoother
over the chest and shoulders, and also
the edges in the back will be on the
straight OF the material, which will
prevent them from stretching apart and
gaping open between the hooks.
The collar must be cut ION the

WASHABLE LINEN BOWS
ARE ALWAYS DAINTY

There is nothing quite so dainty and
becoming as a touch Of white at the
COLLAR of a dress. When the frocks
are Of dark linen, this adds much to
their attractiveness.
Not every one can wear large jaoots
or frills, but a small bow always looks
well.
These charming bows are easily made
and what is still better, they are easily
Iaundered at home
Small pieces of linen are used for these
bows. measuring 81 by 81 inches. The
edges should be buttonholed in small
scallops.
Pleat through the center and finish
with a narrow fold Of the linen.
II a pattern is first cut from paper 1t
is much easier to cut the linen in the
desired shape.
VARIETY may be gained by making the
pieces of linen square, or the corners
may be rounded.
Two pieces Of material may be used
for a bow cutting one slightly smaller
than the other, forming a double bow.
An dainty spray Of flowers or de-
sign may be embroidered upon either
end. adding to the beauty OF the bow.
And dainty spray Of flowers or de-
sign may be embroidered upon either
end, adding to the beauty OF the bow.
This is a clever way TO use small odds
and ends of linen. One can never have
too many small bows for warm-weather
wear.
CoIors may be used to embroider and
buttonhole the edges, matching any
frock you desire to wear the bow with.

through the center Of the front II Of
plain net, q pretty way to trim II Is TO
run by hand four or FIVE thread tucks
about the base.
When the yoke is cut and ftted have
some one pin the collar in place, letting
Il take the natural shape Of the neck.
Pin II securely to the yoke all around
ana then quickly haste It into place.
Collar and yoke may be Joined in
three ways: First. by a very narrow
French seam; second, by a row Of lace
Insertion set in, and third. by beading,
which you can make yourself
The first two need no explanation OF
how to make. but the beading Is a bit
more dificult.
How Beading Il Made.
After the collar has been basted to the
yoke q stiff piece Of paper is sewed
over the seam line on the wrong side.
The basting threads are removed and
the collar and yoke are turned in at
their respective edges like a narrow hem.
Join these hens with the beading stitch.
which Is made with coarse cotton. Begin
at the extreme end Of the lower edge
OF the collar and then twist the needle
twice around this stitch, taking another
stitch in the lower edge. Now put the
needle through the lower edBe again
an eighth Of an inch away. and repeat
the process until the beading Is finished
around the entire collar.
Face the upper edge and the back OF
the collar with a straight piece Of net.
The yoke opening. too. is faced. Hooks
and buttonholes serve to fasten them
in tho back. A hem is run In the bot
tom OF the guimpe and through 1t ma
piece Of hat elastic is placed. fastened
at the back with hook and eye. Have
the elastic moderately tight so It will
hold. the guimpe In place under the bust
and arms The collar Is boned to stand
erect. Long. close-fitting sleeves may
be added to the guimpe. These are cut
from a coat sleeve pattern, but made
TO fit the arm snugly.
Very often the back seam is left open
at the wrist for a few inches and fas-
tened over with loops and small GRO
eheted buttons.
A fine lace edge or one OF Irish GRO
chet finishes the sleeve at the wrist
The making Of a net guimpe Is not hard
when one has a little patience and OBJ
serves the rules here set forth.

SOME USEFUL HINTS WORTH
NEEDING IN CLEANING HOUSE

Perhaps you do not like to be reminded
of it. but still you must plan 1t, as April
Is nearly ended and it is now time to
think about housecleaning.
Commence to see that your store Of ar
ticIes to. clean with will be on hand.
There must be plenty of soap. borax, am
monia, brushes. and cloths. II is always
well to see that there are plenty of clean
cloths on hand, for 1t retards work to
have to stop and wash the soiled cloths
and wait for them to dry, before proceed
ing with the work. Toward this end
sort and wash out ali dust cloths, brooms
and brushes. and also have a few new
ones on hand.
New ChamOis Needed.
Have a nice piece of new chamois for
the windows and several pieces Of fan
mel for furniture polishing. Also have
bottle OF furniture polish ready.
An excellent solution that is said to
clean everything and hurt nothing Is
made in the following manner: Six bars
Of laundry size white soap, one pound OF
borax, and four ounces of pure am
monia. The soap is cut into small pieces
and boiled with the borax. When the
soap is completely dissolved, add FIVE
gallons of warm water. and when the
mixture is partly cold, add the ammonia.
This should be made UP a couple of days
before the cleaning commences in
earnest
Clean all oiled or painted floors and the
woodwork with this soapy solution. This
will remove spots and streaks of dirt.
Dry thoroughly quickly and then apply
oil, paint, or varnish, whatever is needed
Carpets may be cleaned In he same
solution which is applied with scrub
bing brush. The soap is rinsed out with
a cloth dipped in warm water and rubbed
over the carpet
All spots on furniture may be removed
with water and ammonia. A tablespoonful
OF ammonia, or more II needed. is put
into each bucket of water. To remove
the mark left by ammonia, rub with fur
niture oil.
While enameled or painted furniture
and white walls are cleaned with water
In which teaspoonful Of borax has been
dissolved TO each quart, and then wiped
dry with soft cloths.
The Washington herald., 1912-04-28

Clean wall paper with chunks Of dry
bread, rubbing always in the same direc-
ton and never twice over the same spot,
or It will look uneven.
Wash the cane seats Of chairs with
soap and water. Turn upside down and
soak the under side with warm water
Leave to dry and the cane will shrink to
its former proportions and look like new.
BEFORE starting In to clean at all, see
that you, yourself, are in good condition.
Much of the success of your cleaning will
depend on whether you are in a good or
bad temper when you start. Take the
day before on and enjoy yourself with a
walk, call or matineee-anyway you can
set the most enjoyment.

extends down the shoulders and forms

The skirt is made with fiounces gath
cred as little as possible and bound
with bias strips OF the silk. The tiny

placed around the scaIlops, and the

Potato Salad.

Chop one teaspoon onion measured

the leaves to garnish.
Use mayonnaise or boiled dressing and
mix gently with a silver fork.

inches from the chalk marks, and you

the shoulder seam and measure one-half
OF armhole. then place seam Of sleeve
one inch to the front OF exact half. and
you cannot fail to have a good-ntting
sleeve.

It Is the same old story Of mutual
