An Even Skirt Hem.

Here is helpful tip for girls who
do their own dressmaking 1t Is an
easy matter to turn up the hem of a
dress on ones self If the following
directions are followed:
Put on the skirt; rest one end of a
yardstick on the floor. and, holding II
straight up and down. mark where the
other end comes on the skirt with q
piece of chalk. going all around the
skirt in this way. This will make a
mark all around the hips one yar6
from the floor.
Remove the skirt and, using the yard
stick as a measure. turn up the skirt
one yard from the mark. This will be
absolutely even. If you wish to make
the skirt shorter-say two or -four
inches from the floor-turn 1t up two
or four inches less than a yard from
the mark. This plan has proved in
valuable in actual experience.

strenuous aspects is far apter to take
a generous attitude toward weaker

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

There is great deal to be said about
skirts. In spite of the fact that they
are inseparable from the bodice, they
possess distinction apart from it and
show no end of individuality in their
treatment The ubiquitous tunic is
found in all guises, from the short,
hip length to ankle length. and always
very full-bsruffied. fur trimmed, regu-
iation or empire wasted and plainly
hung from the top-all according to
fancy.
The illustrated evening frock shows
an interesting skirt oddly fashioned
and quite new. Black panne velvet is
used here with white chiffon. The for.
mer makes the odd little bib covering
the lower portion of the corsage and
the deeply pointed tunc caught in
about the waist under shaped plas-

gwen away. She would feel hopelessly
wrong If she continued to wear it.
The American Version of Fullness,

The high hope that runs in the heart
OF each American woman who feels
constrained to alter last years skirt
because it fits too snugly at the heels,
or is draped as it shouldn't be, Is that
the present American version of the
full skirt will win out. But there is
really little experience to use as kim
ding to that hope. Whenever all the
French houses have united on one
silhouette, it has invariably won out
with the rest of the world.
The American trick Of putting a full
tunic over tight skirt, showing more
or less of the narrow hem, rules the

tron of heavy silver lace. The tunic
runs into two points in back as we'll as
in front, while at center front, back
and over either hip the material is
draped up in folds. Beneath this hangs
the undermine of white chiffon, veil
ing a plain, narrow skirt of white tat
feta that is faced about the hem with
a foot-wide band of black velvet.
The corsage is very simple and shows
wide-armed sleeves and a square de-
colletage. A single rose is caught upon
the left shoulder to add a touch Of
color
1t would seem almost permissible to
allow ones fancy to run away in the
present season of eccentricities. It may
at least be granted some startling
flights, for in even the most cursory
glancing about the shops and display
rooms innumerable novelties and inno-
vations are in evidence

WHAT GIRLS MAY DO.
The Business Girl and Kind Heart
BY JESSIE ROBERTS.

Recently a girl working in a factory
heard Of a woman who was lying sick
and neglected and was reported to be
ill-treated by the relative who was
weary Of supporting her. She went to
see this woman, who had no claim on
her other than the human one of pity
and kindness. Finding conditions even
worse than they had been reported
to her, this girl had the woman taken
to hospital at her expense, paid for
bed there. bought the poor creature
the necessary garments. and has taken
time to see her every day. and to cheer

How to Make the Tunic.
There are various tunics used on the
American gowns. but the wise woman
will avoid the pleated one. and pos
sibly the gathered one. The kind that
hugs the hips and flares below, cover
ing almost all OF the lower skirt, Is the
best. 1t will look more like the skirts
that are bound to come.

Coats for morning, afternoon. even

The High Military Collar.

Everywhere one sees the adoption OF
the high collar that we always asso-
ciate with the military uniforms of all
ages. The new one smacks more OF
Louis the XIV than of Gen. French OF
Gen. Joffre. and it is far more becom-
ing. which is good. 1t stands straight
away from the neck at the back and
does not curve in at the sides in a
regulation manner. 1t Is usually cover
ed with fringes of gold braid.
