IN DRESSMAKING
How to Make One Of the New Skirts With
Military Pockets.

skirt with the edge marked by triple
crosses on the fold as indicated in one
diagram. Remove the fold from the
remaining piece of material by press
ing over a damp cloth; then cut in
two lengths. Lay them together, the
right sides facing and take care that
if there is figure or nap, it runs in the
same direction on each. Then lay the
front Of the pattern on these pieces
with the long straight edge lengthwise
and the panel with the line Of per-
forations lengthwise as indicated on
the second diagram. Cut the belt full
length. In the diagram, it is laid out
with the second half indicated by
dotted lines which simply mean that
you can cut half of the pattern, then
fold it over and cut the other half.
II the frill at the back is not to be
used, cut the back of the pattern off
on the upper line of perforations, or,
turn under on the upper lines If you
think you may want to use it again with
the frill, before laying it on the ma
terial. Pin the parts carefully into
place, then trace all around the out
sir' : edges with tracing wheel or with
tailors' chalk or with hast;ng thread as
you like, but be careful that you mark
in some way, for these outside edges
give the basting and sewing line and are
alf-important to the success Of the
skirt. Mark the notches and perfora-
tions, then cut as far beyond the edge
Of the pattern for seams as your ma
terial renders desirable. If the cloth
k closely woven, you will need only
three-eighths of an inch, but if it is
loosely woven and trays readily, you
must allow more. After cutting, mark
the traced edge, the perforations and
all markings that are needed, through
to the under side of the material with
the tailors' tacks that have been de-
scribed in previous lessons; or, pin
through the two pieces where each
mark is needed, then turn the cloth
over on the under side and mark the
points indicated as you have on the
first side. Remove all the pins. fold
the material and lay it aside.
As first step, turn the seam allow
ance on the front edges under, then
turn again on the lines Of smaller
perforations, haste and stitch the
hens. Join the three pieces Of the
skirt, meeting the notches exactly.
Next. we must make the pocket panels

coat, (of course, it would be very
nice for her to have one.) She must,
however, set down on her list several
print morning dresses.
Have you made your list-of things
you can't do without with self-respect.
Have you included an umbrella Have
you included gloves for stormy weather
wear particularly (You know it ruins
dress gloves).
Now make list of desirable things.
make it carefully and don't change it
on impulse. These things remember
are things you will be the better for.
but which are not absolutely indis-
pensable.
Keep these lists, keep copy in
your purse permanently if you can.
And then, watch for the bargains.
know l am reversing the advice
usually given. think woman can
watch for bargains and keep her
head--providing she keeps her list
and doesn't permit herself to buy
anything in list number two, unless
she has on hand everything in list
number one.
When girl has this list habit estab-
lished a great point is gained.
Another point is to allow girl
during her teens to handle fixed
income Of her own. Even if it is
only fifty cents week, let her have
it regularly and be obliged to cover
certain expenses with it. She will
waste money with it, and buy the
wrong things, but it isn't nearly so
bad as wasting more later because
Of not having had this experience.
Get your girl to decide on some
one color that shall be the prevailing
color in her summers wardrobe, and
some second color that can be used
tastefully with it, rendering that
black and white can also be used
with anything for variety.
As she chooses things during the
summer try to have her stick to this
color scheme, her few things will
count for so much more
Then, as I said, when the summer
is over, get her to drop all her sum-
mer things, pack them away and get
out last winters things to make over
and use with what new she can have.
There will strong temptation to
hold on to some favorite dress that
has been warm-weather triumph,
and use it in the evening in the winter.
And then the care Of clothes. Try
so hard, to teach that.

It is natural for girls to take pride
In dainty surroundings and attract
i've receptacles for their belongings.
but the mother must remember that
this is never fully brought out unless
the girl herself has had hand in
preparing these places-has worked
to make them pretty. ! recall a
young girl who had given her very
handsome shirt-waist box. made Of
costly materials and at great ex-
pense. She neglected its care and It
was ruined. A shirt-waist box was
a necessity, 50 she set to work and
herself made a new one. 1t was
amusing to see the care with which
she looked after this new, cheaper,
and less beautiful one, and the at
tention she bestowed on its con-
tents.

TEACHING GIRLS
TO CHOOSE CLOTHES
An Important Part Of a Girls

System in Buying--A Sub

Mother and Daughter.

nOSSIBLY much more important
thing than it is usually consid-
cred as part Of the girls educa-
ton, is the correct choosing of clothes.
How often we see young ladies
suddenly coming into an income
through their own earning power,
misuse and waste their money, buy
ing here and there whatever fancy
directs with little idea of fitness,
either to the wearer or other clothes
on hand.
believe | know woman who fol-
lows the best plan with her young
ladies': | will give it as clearly as |
can.
To begin with, never try to carry
over the clothes left from one season
to the very next one, save them until
the second.
By that l mean don't try to use
the lighter winter clothes we'll into
the summer for occasional wear, but
put them resolutely away for next
winters making over. So also don't
try to stretch your summers heavier
things into some sort of fall and
winter use. Save them for next sum-
mer.
By doing this you will find the old
clothes will seem new, new colors
will be on the market and combina-
ton Of the old with something new
will seem a wholly fresh combina-
ton You will not spend any more
money in the end, yet your clothes
will seem fresh ones.
Second: Make list, and keep it
strongly in mind, Of things that are
absolute necessities. mean-things
that for you are required for your
health, and your particular business.
Now this will be different for diff
ferent people and must only be made
out after careful thought.
For an instance: A business girls
outfit of necessities must include a
rain-coat Of some kind. On the other
hand the stay-at-home mother Of
family Of young folks who can do
errands for her. does not need a rain

and to do that nicely, we must cut the
pockets Of the same material as the
skirt, also the facings. Cut the
facings one inch in width and six
inches in length and haste over the
pocket panels with the center Of each
strip over the cross-line Of perfora-
tons. Then, cut an opening on the
line Of perforations through each
pocket and the facing, seam the edges
together, neatly, taking up as little
as possible, then turn the facings
through the openings to the under
side Of the panels and fold with little
Of the facing extending beyond the
seam to give the effect Of a piping
and to make a neat finish. Basic
carefully and stitch around all the
edges as illustrated. For each pocket.
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1915-04-15

cut two pieces Of material each three
quarters Of an inch wider than the
opening, and six inches in depth.
Turn the outer edges of the facings on
the lower edges Of each pocket under
and arrange one of these strips under
