double seams are advisable, but t you are using velvet, heavy silk or serge, a lining will be necessary, and very thin silk or silk and cotton Inouseline Is good for the purpoes. Cut the lining exactly as you have done the outside and the directions given for the one will suffice for the other.
 First, close the shoulder and under arm seams. Baste and stitch on the basting line and press open if you are 70 use lining. It there IS a thin lining, take up first a very narrow seam on the right side, then turn and baste again on the basting line and take up a second seam on the front lining. Close the seams of the sleeves. If you are using a lining, close the shoulder and under-aTm seams of the Inning and the sleeve seams and D@ess all the seams open. If you are making it without q lining. make the douo$r seams m the sleeves. Finish the lower edges in any way that you may like.
 Turn the edge of the right front of the blouse under on the tiny perfora- lions that indicate the seam and again on the first line of perforations and stitch for a hem. If you are making the blouse with lining, stitch the lining together exactly as you have done the outside, then arrange one over the other, with the wrong sides meeting and take care that all the seams and edges are placed exactly together.

' yERlIN, the one, ever present
 " feature of the season Is to be
 found in the use of fur We might well say that 1t Is fur to the right of Us and fur to the left of us, fur wherever VIC turn. "It not alone Is used upon suits and upon gowns, It also makes very attractive finish tor the chemisettes that 5 many women are wearing with open necks. and as trimming for almost every garment that one can wear. The very wide huff collars, as they have been called, are perhaps a little over heating for the average woman. There are some very attractive and charming collar and cuff sets shown oi velvet and of satin, trimmed with tur, that are really fascinating. The collars follow the general trend Of tiaring at the upper edge and almost enveloping the chins and the lower part of the face, while the cuffs are turned back, cut in deep points. They are t0 be found in various colors, but a. cspeCi- ally charming set for wear with q dark gown. Is ol cardinal red satin with fur as finish. A quite novel collar. dc signed to be worn with any gown. Is known as "Abbess" and is still in circular, haring shape. but consists h narrow alternating circular strips of black and white satin. while 1t Is finished at the lower edge with folds uf the black satin and q bow at the back where the closing Is made. IL iS known as "Abbess' and in way, 1T suggests the collars that are supposed 10 conceal the counteuances of the religious enthusiasts There are all sorts of small scarfs and throws too to be worn in place of the fur when the day is mild. A smart one is made of velvet, shirred to form big Asa tiln bow at tine back and Is passed around the throat with long ends that are finished with shirrings and points 10 which tassels are appended. One end hangs straight over the coat and one hangs over the shoulders, for how ever we may accomplish it. whatever else VIC may wear, we must wear some form of the Choker collar fl we would be smart upon the street. The fur trimmed chemisettes, for the most part, show the fur used in very narrow strips It edges the collar and some times 1t finishes the front edge. It is really very charming, and since fur Is almost always becoming, 1t makes q most satisfactory finish against the skin Just how or where all the fur is obtained, we must not ask, 1t is enough that 1t Is offered and that 1t Is very charming. We long since ceased to think that only the rear

skins were worth having; we have learned that fur IS a material as well as cloth, to be used wherever 1t will give q good effect. A most fasci- hating afternoon visiting costume for a debutarte who makes her rounds in a limousine, Is of blue taffeta, brocaded with silver figures. It con sists of a simple, gathered skirt and a belted Russian blouse. The blouse and the skirt are edged with wide bands of white fur and the collar and cuffs consist of fur and fur Is used on the front edge of the blouse, and 1t Is wonderfully beautiful costume. At a glance, we might consider the fur to be foN. but investigation shows Clearly that u is nothing of the sort; 1t Is on some cheaper skin, bleached and treated to give the desired effect It Is beautiful. II IS essentially youth frt and altogether the costume Is one of the prcttiest to be devised and what girl could ask for more
 Whether We like the separate trains or do not, they evidently have taken their place for the season and 1t is pleasant to state that in many ot the later and better developments, they are really graceful and attractive. There Is no necessity for growing a train, even over a short skirt: the effect ot an appendage. of being wholly unrelated to the gown, good designers have managed ro avoid and to so han dlc them as to give al quite different result. One of the pretticst that yer has been seen Is of rich red velvet over a gown oi white net embroidered with iridescent beads and trimmed around the lower edge of the skirt with flat rcd velvet roses. The train forms q little drapery over the hips and at the back, starting at each side oi the front at q mere nothing. and growing wider until it grows into the train itself. There Is d wide girdle also that connects the two and while tho train Is not attached to the skirt and while the latter is complete beneath so that it can be lifted for the danc- with ease, 1t gives the effect of havin5 been made for the costume and oi becoming an integral part thereof
 The velvcts of the season are simply wonderful The chiffon velvets and the waterfall sort are having especial vogue and are made mp in d thousand attract i've ways. In the lighter colors. such as pink. blue and pale green, they art essentially youthful in effect and art being extensively used on the chil dren's dresses and for the children coats. As a matter of course, the inevitable fur trimming is found. but III the case of the children 1t takes tho

Sss5 Russian Blouse. 34 to 4 bust

kind are made Of glove silk, taifera. faille silk and even of velvet and can be worn over skirts TO match or skirts that harmonIze. Whether q belt or dTaped sash shall hold the fulness is question that each woman IS 10 decide. The garment IS just simple one and consequently IS especially adapted 70 5he home dressmakers needs. There are the fcwest possible seams and since both the seams and the basting line are given, il Is impossible 10 go astray. In one diagram, the pattern IS shown laid out on material forty four inches wide, and iu these days, that Is an established width for variety of materials. In the other diagram, the parts are arranged as they are to be put together, with indi- eating letters to facilitate the making. These diagrams do not show seams but they are found in the pattern and arc indicated by a TOW of tiny per forations one-haf inch within each edge.
 As a first step, smooth the pattern out carefully. Lay Il out on the ma terial and pin into place. Then, mark thc basting line and mark all the notches and perforations that serve to help in tho making. Cut on the outside edge of the pattern. Be cause of the wide lap, 1t is advisable tu cut the right side wider than the left, therefore. cut the night side the size of rhe pattern. but cut the left side one-half inch beyond the large perforations which indicate the center front. The one-hait inch will serve as a seaT1 and take the place of the seam which is given on all other edges. If vou want a shorter blouse, cut off oae-half inch below the cross lines ot perforations, and for the shorter sleeves, cut of one-hall inch below the cross lines Of perfoTations in the sleeve pattern. As next step, mark the various notches. the basting line and other indications through to the under side of vour material with the tailors' tacks that have been described so many times. Then remove the pins and pull the two pieces of the material apart and then after clipping the threads we wiil be ready 10 begin the work of sewing.
 If you are making the blouse of crepe de chine or of talie,a or of washable material. it will require no lining and in light weight stufis,
