Then after removing the waist from

and then follow the directions exactly.

edges Of the outside yoke over the
seam, turning the seam allowance
under to make firm edge. In dia-
gram No. I, you will see this part Of
the work in progress and the back
already in place. Make the finish by
stitching on the outside close to the
edges Of the yoke at front and at back.
Next you must sew the sleeves to
the armhole edges, for they are what
is known as set-in sleeves and must
be joined in this way before the
under-arm seams are sewed up. Basic
the sleeves carefully to the waist,
meeting the edges, the notches and
the large perforations exactly. Sew
first on the right side with a very
narrow seam, then turn and stitch
again on the wrong side, making the
second stitching on the marked out
line Of your pattern and taking up
just the seam allowance, for that
makes what is known as a French
seam and the neatest possible finish.
Basic the under-arm and sleeve edges
together and again make the double
seams. When this is done, you will be
ready for the cuffs. Join the ends Of
the deep cuffs and Of the lining sepa-
rately; press the seams open and ar

Decline Of Family Life.

THE signs Of the present day
indicate startling tendency
toward the disruption Of the
family life. Not only in the larger
cities is this tendency apparent, but
even in the village it is becoming
more and more noticeable. Domestic
science and economy are decidedly on
the wane, and family ties are holding
our people less firmly together than
in the past. Our steadily-growing
commercialism is undoubtedly the
principal factor that Is bringing about
this state' Of things; the youngsters
catch the money-getting spirit that
dominates the community, and The
love Of home becomes secondary to
the desire to accumulate. The Old
time housekeeper. in the calico gown,
is giving way to the club woman with
bejeweled fingers; and the restaurant
is succeeding the family kitchen.

pongee and the like, three-eighths Of
an inch should be sufficient, but for
wolfe and other materials that are
apt to fray. little more width will
be advisable. 1t will be advisable to

After having cut out your waist,
fold all the portions of the collar

hens. Gather the back across the
upper edge between the double
crosses, then lay the outside Of the
yoke over the back, the right sides

yoke meeting the upper edge of the
waist. Basic carefully, distributing
the gathers evenly, then haste the
lining over the under side Of the back
in exactly the same way. Stitch the
seam, taking care to follow the marked
outline Of the pattern, then turn two
portions Of the yoke up with the

$500 A Good Tailored Shirt.


This model is one Of the best; it
gives the high neck finish that makes
an important feature of prevailing
fashions and gives the long sleeves
with the new turned-over cuffs, while
at the same time, these sleeves can
be cut off and made shorter for real
warm weather. The collar is of the
turned-over sort and the band beneath
is full length, but the over-portion can
be either cut full length, with the ends
MEETING at the front, or little shorter
to allow Of adjusting a ribbon or some
similar finish over the neck band and
over the ends Of the over-portion.
Suitable materials are many, but
crepe de chine, handkerchief linen
cotton crepe and rice cloth are the
favorites. Pongee will be used for
travelling and for many occasions and
many women like the washable silk
crepe that is a little heavier than crepe
de chine and there is also taffeta
that is much liked for the purpose.
Whatever the material, however, the
process Of making is always the same.
First, lay the pattern out carefully
on the material and make sure that
you follow the directions on the en-
velope. Mark all round it with tracer
or with crayon and cut outside Of

The Influence Of Dress
@NE Of the greatest powers in the
world today is the power OF

ZINE Of the greatest powers in the
world today is the power Of
dress. 1t sways the mind Of
all; the wise, the foolish, the good, the
evil; the rich, the poor, the old and
the young. Good clothes are the
creators Of opportunity in society,
business and religion. The well-dressed
person exerts a psychological influence
that is irresistible. Good clothes are
staff to lean upon during life, and a
monument builder over ones ashes.
If wives and mothers realized to what
extent dress influences husband and
children, there would be far less slip
shod, unkempt women wandering
about a home from early morning
until late afternoons. The disheveled
housewife is source OF widespread
decentralization, that begins as soon
as the husband discovers that her
careful attention to dress when she
was being wooed, was for effect; and
not for its moral influence during
the days of home making. It is easier
after this becomes apparent to allure
him away from the home; he sees the
tidy nurse, saleslady or Office assistant,
always sn1art-appearing and the COM
parison with his unpresentable help
meet is unfavorable to the sweetness
he sought in married life. The untidy
carelessly-dressed mothers influence
on her children too is not salutary;
for carelessness in dress is evidence
to those slsilful Interpreters of human
nature, OF carelessness in thought, if
not in speech, and the child natu-
rally rebels against a government not
systematic, stable and prompted by
high motives.

ingly rich and exceedingly handsome,
but they make really ideal suits for the
late Spring and early summer; for
the earlier season, faille, taffeta and
the poplin already mentioned will be
given the preference with gabardine,
broadcloth, serge, covert cloth and a
great many little checked suitings, for
costumes of the more useful sort.
Black and white checks are having
great vogue and are, many Of them
treated with rare success. Brown and
white and brown and tan color are
pretty too and fashionable and there
are, . great many blues that make a
charming effect. but the black and
white may be said to be given first
choice. For the smart suit that can
be worn for visiting and also for shop
ping and more prosaic use, the check
suitings, covert cloth and the gabar-
dine suitings are made with full, cir
cular skirts and belted coats that are
smart in the extreme and among them
are to be found so many models that
It is quite simple and easy to adapt
one or the other to every figure.
As has been mentioned in previous
letters, there is a notable tendency
towardthe use Of embroidery, scallops
self trimmings and finishes Of all such
sorts and they are very handsome;
narrow fringes are being employed
too and what is known as TON
Thumb" is one inch fringe of
wool and it is to be seen edging
the tunics and coats Of street costumes,
while the silk fringe is employed for
similar purposes on the indoor gowns.
A suit Of dull, blue wool poplin is for
example, made with moderately wide
skirt and with very full, long tunic
and with belted coat that falls just
about to the hip line. The skirt, the
tunic and the coat are all cut in big
scallops and the scallops are edged with
wool fringe Of exactly matching color.
Bound scallops and bound edges meet
one at almost every turn. A charming
dinner gown is made Of lace flouncing
showing sand-color background with
threads of white forming the pattern;
the foundation skirt is Of antique blue
tafeta and it is yelled with a full
gathered skirt of net that is bound
with the taffeta and there is a third
skirt of lace, gathered, to be soft and
full. The bodice is very quaint and
what is known as "old-fashioned
and it is made entirely of the taffeta,
with square neck and bound edges
takes the form Of plain, little coatee.

Of the fact that we started out
with some apprehension as to what
effect the. war might have upon the
supply Of fabrics and the supply Of
designs, the season has proven to be
one Of exceptional fascination and Of
infinite charm. We made something
of a sudden jump from narrow skirts
to very wide ones, but already there
is a tendency toward moderation
and the really smart costume is the
one that shows extremely becoming and
graceful lines. The suggestions that

.FADS AND FANCIES OF FASHION

its quaint effects, infinite charm, seems
to cry out mistakenly for reiterance Of
that fact, since it is so easy to be we'll
dressed on the one hand and also so
easy to make mistake in choice.
For afternoon occasions, visits, tea
dances and the like, silk suits are prom
ised great favor and the suits Of faille
Of taffeta and Of poplin are fascinating
in the extreme. A great many shades
Of blue are being shown and the sand
tones. grays and tans are marvellously
lovely. Taffeta suits apparently have
tendency toward the circular skirts
and soft full jackets. The skirts fro
quently are finished with wide bias
folds edged either with a little cord
or piping finishing the upper edge.
The coats are very becoming, very
attractive, short and jaunty and for
the most part, longer at the back
than at the front. Faille and popiin
will be the favorites undoubtedly. In
the darker shades, they are made
quite simple for comparatively useful
suits; in the light shades, they are
very dressy, very beautiful. There is
notable tendency toward sleeveless
effects, toward boleros and Eton-like
Jackets, with bound or otherwise fin
ished armholes, while sleeves are sewed
to the lining or suimpe beneath. Best
effects are obtained, however, when
the sleeves match the jackets, for ex-
cept on very youthful figure, the
contrasting sleeves are seldom be-
coming, unless the gown is one that
allows Of lace, net or soft chiffon.
A very beautiful visiting costume
is made Of faille in sand-color and the
skirt is soft and full, gathered at its
upper edge, but laid in a plat at each
side of the front to give the panel sug-
gestion. 1t is finished only with
cord at the lower edge. The little
coat is bolero with slightly elongated
back and without sleeves and on each
front, it shows embroidery in single
design. The sleeves are Of the same
silk, however, long and Aarirg over
the hands, while the fronts Of the
blouse are of white Georgette crepe
overlaid with lace that exactly matches
the faille in color. There are bits Of
gold found in the girdle that gives
brilliancy. Later we will wear great
deal Of pongee and the pongees are
shown in new and most interesting
weaves. The dyed pongee will be
used as a matter of course, but un-
doubtedly the natural color is to be
given choice and some Of the first new
crepes and new poplins are exceed
