BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

Everybody is unanimous in the praise
of present-day blouses and firmly con-
WINGED that styles We're never prettier.
This is quite true, and undoubtedly We
must ascribe their, superlative charms to
the use of all the dainty soft and flmy
fabrics of which none seems too fine in
the making of dressy blouses.
Steadily and surely taffeta is gaining
in favor again. both for blouses and
youthful evening frocks. which could
hardly fail Of producing good results in
the deliciously dainty colorings~ that they
are being turned out in. Nile green, deli
cate corn color. lilac and flesh, pink are
the modish, ,tints, while the taffeta itself
is marvelously soft and shinmerinS and
in every way induces quaintness.
The vogue for narrow band trimmings
of fur adds a decidedly novel touch to
blouses and lends an air of soft richness
to the design.
This point is nicely illustrated in the
two designs shown in todays sketch.
The first model is. developed in a creamy
yellow French taffeta. The straight elbow
length sleeves are set into extended arm
holes under a corded seam and trimmed
at the end with a band of coney or
skunk and double ruff1ing of shadow
lace.

TODAY'S HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS
By Mary. Lee.

If there is time and inclination for the
task the cradle can be trimmed to match,
but the mother who has little time can
spend it to better advantage by making
warm. dainty, outer coat. a coy wrap
per or even simple little sacques. All
these will be necessary to the winter
baby's comfort, and quite good deal of
money can be saved by making them at
home. The new material, duvetyn, makes
up into most luxurious wraps for baby
as well as his mother. and so does white
eiderdown lined with soft India silk.
Practically no trimming is necessary
unless it be a bit of swansdown at neck
and wrists. Certainly not embroideries.
The winter coat is for comfort, not for
display, but some mothers are apt to for
get this and plan to have it as elaborate
as the summer wrap. Any woman who
knows how to sew can, with the aid of
paper pattern. make this simple garment.
The same remark will apply to the max
ing of a dainty wrapper. The newest
idea is to have a delicate color instead
of, white. choosing pink for a girl and
blue for a boy.
Quilting, too, is preferred to tufting
When the latter is chosen. then the baby
ribbon used for the tufts matches the
shades Of the kimono. The lining is al
ways white.
Cashmere makes dear little sacks for
babies wear in moderate weather. but
for midwinter a soft albatross or nun 8
yelling lined with thin silk is much
cozier. The little jacket will be as light
as feather. but also as warm as toast.

Babies Winter Needs.

While it is true baby's wardrobe, con-
sisting of well made, neat. dainty gar
ments, can be bought in the stores at
such modest prices it will not be worth
while for the prospective mother to waste
either time or strength making the tiny
clothes. there are certain baby belong
ings that can be made at home with little
labor and a decided saving of expense
For instance. trimming the baby basket.
1t is only a very simple basket that can
be bought for s., yet 81 will furnish the
materials for quite handsome affair.
round or oval wicker basket will cost
from 30 to 70 cents. according to size;
one yard of china silk. pale pink, at so
cents a yard. and one yard Of point
d esprit about the same price. pink
satin-covered pincushion will cost 10
cents, and a bolt of pink baby ribbon an
other ten.
These are the necessary materials.
The bottom of the basket is covered
with a sheet of cotton sprinkled with
orris root, and the sides are lined with
the silk overlaid with the point desprit
shirred. The pincushion covered with the
net is sewn into the basket opposite a
pocket Lastly. frill of the point d'esprit
is edged with two or three rows of the
baby ribbon and is set on with self
heading to fall all around the outside Of
the basket.
Evening star., 1914-01-22

The back and fronts of the waist are
joined on the shoulders with. a corded
seam and slightly gathered toward the
center. The neck is finished with shadow
lace double ruffing. and is trimmed with
band of the fur, following the line of
the neck across the back but running out
from it little in front. with rounded
ends topping small cluster of gathers
on either side.
The feature of this blouse is its novel
front fastening. The right side is crossed
over the left at the bust, with square
tab-extension turned back over a double
end jabot of lace. The tab may be caught
back in place with snappers or with a
close line of tiny button brilliants.
White chiffon and shadow lace make
the second blouse, with u foundation Of
fiesh-colored net or chiffon.
There is a very shallow shoulder yoke
to which the back and fronts are slightly
gathered. The long sleeves are set under
a cording in the dropped armholes and
caught in above a fitted cuff, which is
trimmed with a narrow band of white
fur and double ruffiing of chiffon. A
band of the shadow lace trims the sleeve
end. Chiffon ruffiing finishes the round
neck, under which a tube-band of fur is
run and loosely knotted in front. The
opening is bordered on either side by the
lace banding. which is turned in corner
below and continued around the entire
waist just above the belt.
White jackrabbit or mouffion will be
found best for the fur bandings.
