The pretty yoke at the front re-
quires an embroidered beading an inch
and a half wide finished at one edge
with a band of swiss embroidery In
an open pattern. This, in turn, Is
edged with the narrow beading which
extends all around the neck. Narrow
cluny lace insertion Is stitched along
the lower edge Of the beading in the
yoke and a second row Of the same
insertion outlines the yoke and joins
1t to the body of the gown. In making
the yoke the wide beading is to be
stitched to the row Of swiss embroid-

cluny insertion at the other. and then
cut into two pieces Of equal length to
form the two sides. The second row
Of cluny is then stitched TO both
pieces.
The neck opening Is finished with
a narrow cluny edging sewed to the
narrow beading below 1t. The full
short sleeves are finished with both
insertion and edging Of cluny.

through a buttonholed slit at the front
and tied In q generous bow.

The number Of unemployed among

During August. the first month Of the
war, the percentage Of those out OF

in regard to pauperism point to a re
turn to normal conditions. In the
