Shirrinas Give FuIIness.

Plaits or shirrings to give fulIness at
the hips is one of the styles that is
taking well. In a new coat model a
plated panel is set in over each hip
extending to the bottom of the coat
and the top is covered by the belt at
the waist line. The same idea of side
fullness is carried out in a skirt model.
The yoke of the skirt is round and the
lower section is cut on circular lines
and put on the yoke evenly, except for
six inches at each hip, where the
lower section is shirred to the yoke,
giving an attractive fullness in a novel
way.

Quickly Made.

A pretty style for an apron that is
quickly made requires a piece of linen
or organdie about eighteen or twenty
inches square, according to the de-
sired size. This is hemmed all around
and edged with lace or a buttonhole
scalloping. The four corners are deco
rated with insets of lace, worked in
embroidery or in any way the decora-
tor pleases. A casing is set across
one of the points for taking ribbon,
which when drawn up and tied around
the waist creates a bib. Feather and
cross-stitch work is very effective on
an apron in this shape.

We have had handkerchief cases,

a novelty. The girl who is careless
about putting away her stockings, and
who consequently never knows where
to find certain pair, but fishes about

finds what she wants, should try the
stocking case scheme. The case may
be made of any preferred material
as linen, silk, sateen with an outer
covering of something sheer, as wolfe.

being to suit ones fancy.
To make a case holding a dozen
pairs of stockings one needs a strip
about nine inches wide and over
yard long. At one end the strip is
turned up to form pocket, and at
the other it is cut into a pointed flap

Or surest hand can always hit;
| For, WhatSoe'er we perpetrate,
We do but vow; we're steered by fate,
| Which in success oft dsnherits,
| For spurious causes, noblest merits.
| Who has not heard of Micawber,
that famous character IL fiction, who
was always waiting for fate to turn
up some good luck for him, always
waiting.
There are more Micawbers in this
world than people magine-supposed
| ly sensible men and women who de-
voutly believe if you are destined to
have good luck it will come to you
whether you put forth any effort or
not. The years and disappointments
do not show them their errors of judg-
ment-they still continue to believe III
fate.
1t is comforting to have some kind
of hope to pin ones faith to, but those
with the ability to reason conditions
| out for themselves are firm in the
opinion that people with but few ex-
| ceptions, make their own fate. wheth-
er good or i'll.
1t takes determination for a girl
who has no money to go forth to Sc
| cure a position, but she would wait
forever and a day for a position to
come in search of her. All life's af-
fairs work on the same general prin-
| ciple.
There are young women who be-
| lieve because they are thrown in a
| particular mans society, that he must
| surely be intended as the one to wed,
no matter what his faults or follies
may be- Girls who are not bound
| down by fate notions" give the mat
ter of marriage deep and serious
thought. They will not encourage a
would-be sutton whom they know to
be a drunkard, profiigate or work
shirker, for they can look ahead and
see what little chance of happiness
| they might expect.
Fate makes no ones led; you make
it yourself if you willfully accept that
which you know to be baneful.
Young girls should be encouraged to
to persist in the belief that this cannot
be done, but it must be planned along
useful lines. Too many mothers bring
up their daughters with the belief that
the sole object of their existence
after their sixteenth or eighteenth
BIRTHDAYS catching a beau, and
little later on marrying him.
More careful mothers direct their
girls minds at tender age from love
and matrimOny, teaching them useful
knowledge-if poor, how to become
saving housekeepers and home-makers
even before a manageable young
man comes a-wooing.
The well-to-do mother teaches her
daughter the subtle power of congeni-
atty and, to discard a dozen suitors
until she meets a man who is worth
her love. and would wed her for her
self alone. If the parents of rich
girls believed in fate adventures
would have a rich field. The parents
of such girls listen to the story of the
meeting of the two young people, the
attraction each has for the other and
so forth, but instead of setting it down
as fate that they should look, love and
wed. they bring the young man to
practical view of the situation, telling
him when fate shows him the solu-
ton of how he is to make as good a
living for their daughter as they are
now doing, they may listen to his pro-
posal.
He may still continue to have an
abiding faith in fate. but he realizes
that hustling brings the fruition of his
dreams much sooner.

PROBLEM OF THE SKIRT
CAUSES MOST CONCERN AMONG
WOMEN PLANNING CLOTHES.
Designers Are Making Struggle for
Less Full Skirts-Waist Line to
Be Smaller in the New
Designs.

Inc designers say that there will be
u struggle for less full skirts before
the winter is well advanced. That is
drop of poison in the present cup OF
happiness. Women have shown en-.
thuslasm and gratitude for the reten.
ton of the full skirt; they are glad
that there is some chance of using the
suits of last spring.
If the designers win out in an effort
TO bring back narrow skirts before
the new year, then women will find
themselves compelled to buy new
clothes or go in for the process of al.
iteration, if they would be in the
fashion.
What About the New Skirts?
Each of the women who are regard
Ing the prospect of buying new clothes
Tor the autumn is far more concerned
with the skirt than with any other
part of the costume, unless it be the
high-crowned hat, which is really a
nerve-racking knot for the woman
with long face to unravel.
The truth concerning skirts is that
80 many varieties are offered, no WON
an need actually worry. Even the
full tunic is admitted. True, the skirt
beneath the tunic is not as narrow as
1t was last November, when Jenny and
Callot flooded the country with skirts
that had a narrow line about the
ankles, but sharp contrast is stili
made between the tunic and the lower
skirt. Both are cut circular and each
Is lifted at the hips, for the umbrella
shape rules son a majority of the
gowns. When this wide circular cut
is thoroughly understood and well
managed, it is far prettier than the
skirt which is full at the waist and
narrow at the ankles.
Waist Line Is Smaller.
This season such fullness at the
waist line will be eliminated to large
extent, which is good news to all but
the emaciated women. The cut of
skirt which is widely adopted and
dominates the field of clothes is what
was once known as the mbrella skirt.
1here is no better name for it. 1t fits
the waist, is smoothed out over the
hips, falls Imply around the ankles,
its fullness folding up on itself, and
with hem sometimes irregular and
sometimes even.
There is no struggle to keep the
fullness from falling in front of the
knees; for that idea of squaring off
the front of the gown and putting the
fullness at the side is evidently put
back on the shelves with last years
fashions. 1t was never attractive, but
1t was tolerated and accepted because
it was one of the ways out of a serious
sartorial disaster.
