Prepared Especially For This NeqVstaps,
by Pictorial ReUteqe

This is one OF the cleverest novelties
of the season in lingerie. 1t is an
envelope chemise or combination corr
set, cover and pantalettes. 1t is suit
able to development in batiste, lawn,
linen, China silk or crepe [silk or
cotton) and is most effective and
serviceable trimmed with embroidery.
The simplicity of the garment
makes an irresistible appeal to the
home dressmaker on account Of the
minimum of work required. Two
yards of 45-inch or 2b yards Of &C.
inch material are required for aver
age size.
In cutting, first fold the material,
then place the front section of pat
tern on lengthwise fold. Arrange
back on a lengthwise thread.
If an opening is desired at the
front, when beginning the construc-
ton, first clash down fold at centre
front from upper edge to large 90"
perforation. Adjust a casing under
meath front between CROSSINGS of
small 80" perforations; insert tape
and draw in as desired. Join front
and back sections as notched; close
centre-back and shoulder seams.
Bring small 90 perforationS at low
er edge of front and fasten with
buttons and buttonholes. The en-
broidery may be added after the
making of the model, or the chemise
may be finished with a narrow tor
chon edging.
The fit of a gown depends very
largely upon the lingerie that is Worn
underneath it, so there is always an
effort TO minimize fulness. This is
true even with the new circular skirts
A corresponding abundance in the
lines of underwear would create a
"bunchy'' effect, hence no matter how
ample the skirt, petticoats and other
articles Of lingerie viii remain scant
Crepe de Chine in coral color is
frequently used for underwear. 1t is
said TO give just the right tint to the
transparent guimpes of flesh color
eauZe that are so fashionable.

1t would be impossible for me To
tell YOU how to remove the spots
from your white silk dress unless
knew what caused them.
Grease may be removed by spone-
ing the place with chloroform after
the material has been stretched over
u piece of clean white blotting
paper. General soil may be removed
with gasoline. If you use this 1t
would be advisable To plunge the
whole dress in the fluid. letting Il
soak for some time, then rubbing
the soiled places between the palms.
Rinse in clean gasoline and hang in
the air to dry.
Caution-Do not use gasoline in
warm room, or near a fire, or even
where there is a lighted gas jet. 1t
is highly inflammable.
Gasoline is not effective. as q rule.

New Coat Models

Among the new showings are coats
of velvet, of plush and of fur fabrics
according to the Dry Goods Econ
omist. These garments have a slight
~ heightened waist line. In fact. q
few are made in empire effect, which
style seems to be gaining Roadway
as the season advances While the
long waist line continues to be fea-
tured it is not so prominent as il was
earlier in the season. Some coats
are made long WASTED in the back
and have u belt placed at The high
waist line in front. Others have a
belt both at the low and the normal
waist line Many novel ideas Of this
kind are being shown.
Yoke effects are featured very
strongly. In many instances the yoke
appears only in the black. The fare
at the bottom of the coat continues
to be a noticeable feature.
