"Hon. Cole l.. Blease, Gov. of S

SKIRTS SURE TO BE WIDER
Change Is Being Made Gradually But 1t Is Noticeable in All the
 Newest Models.

The most noticeable feature of the ever-changing fashions is the gradual widening of skirts. There are suits made with full circular skirts set on a deep yoke. Other styles are in tiered designs, with three circular founces. Some plain suits with long coats have plaited panels introduced to give fullness. A few skirts are gathered and set on deep yokes.
 Many dressy afternoon gowns have a flounced or plaited skirt. On the newest models, even when the ex- tremely long tunic is employed, the underskirt is sufficiently wide to give ease in walking In evening gowns the skirt fullness is quite marked, the side sections being rippled sufficient ly to allow of broader train than has been seen for several seasons.
 The skirts of all garments are ex- tremely short, except in the case of a few evening gowns, which have the skirt very short in front only, with a gradual tapering of to point in the back. where the skirt Is long enough to touch the floor.

FOR THE WOMAN WHO SEWS
Proper Way to Thread SIX Into Needle-1sve Small Pair of sels-
 sors Always Handy

Always thread silk into needle by before it is unwound from the spool in the eye first. If the silk is put in from the end you break or cut it un- twists more easily than if it is thread ed from the other end.
 Don't bite threads. It is an easy thing to have small pair of scissors always handy. You can have one fastened about your belt with a piece of ribbon or tape Biting thread is a bad habit because it breaks the enamel on the teeth, thus making work for the dentist probable.
 Clip all bastings to be removed at five or six-inch intervals. They can then be pulled out without wrinkling the fabric.
 If you are making skirt or waist with plaits or tucks in it, try press ing them into place before basting them. Pin them in two or three places and press with a cool iron. re moving the pins as you come to them. It is then an easy matter to oaste the plaits or tueks exactly in place.
 Don't sew on black at night. 1t IS very trying on the eyes: White sew ing is the only sort that ought to be done at night, and that should be done in clear, shaded light.
 Never sew in the dusk. Nothing tires or injures the eyes so quickly as doipp fine sewing ,n an lnSuffi- cient light.
