Dye Before You Patch.
"Never patch garment just before it
goes to the dyers," was the advice Of a
young woman in a dyeing establish
ment. "Unless the patch and the thread
1t is sewed on with are exactly the same
kind of material as the garment they
will come out of the dye pot different
shades. Here is blue skirt that was
brought to us cream colored. The cloth
had worn through in several places,
and the owner had patched the tiny
holes so painstakingly that the patches
could not be detected in the original
color, but after the dyeing they show
ed up darker blue. The amount Of
dye any material will take depends
upon how much cotton, wool or silk It
contains. It is so hard to determine
that exactly that any garment that has
to be mended can be matched much
better after dyeing."-New York Sun.

INSECT INVENTORS.

WasPs and Ants.
The best commentary perhaps on
such sentence as The inventor II
just Z clairvoyant who translates his
6orecastings to castings is that among
our greatest inventors are the insects"
writes James A. Ford in America. "As
warning reflection on human clever
ness these insect inventors should
not be forgotten. The wasp made ex-
cellent waterproof paper ages before
man ever thought Of doing 80, and
made It. from wood pulp. We have
been using that material only for q
couple Of generations. 81.
1.-The bee and the wasp used hypo-
derm1c needles long before man ever
thought Of them, and the bee uses
formic acid as an antiseptic to pre-
serve its honey from fermentation.
THE spider made the first suspen-
s1on bridge according to all the rules
Of tho craft and some spiders make
excellent airships. One of them even
makes Z diving bell.
THE bee makes a wax that We can.
not initiate.
Tho silkworm is still the ,unrivaled
Of silk.
TO these we might add the ant
which makes tunnels and subways;
the mason bee, with it's cement work,
and the great peacock moth, which
calls its kind from a distance by WIRE
less telegraphy. But to complete the
story we should have to reprint Henri

are extensively used both for trimming
and for girdles 81
For the all around useful coat that
can be worn for motoring, for travelling
without which no trousseau is com
plete, mohair in its various forms is a
favorite material. A handsome one is
Of dark blue alpaca, the only finish
being machine stitching arranged in
rows and with belt, collar and cuffs Of
suede leather. We are to see great
deal of alpaca used both for coats Of
this sort and for those designed for
hard usuage. Alpaca has become a
handsome material when it is chosen
of good quality and of suitable color.
A very lovely travelling coat is Of the
material in tan color and is held at
the waist line with single button.
1t is finished with machine stitching
used with great reserve and is almost
severely plain in finish.
Tussah is liked for coats, too, and is
admirable for many uses. White
tussah lined with color is pretty for the
trousseau coat to be worn in the
afternoon or upon the piazza or for
similar occasions, and the colored
tussahs are to be found in such infinite
variety that they can be put to almost
every possible use. Wool Jersey is
another material that is being shown in
coats and the coat Of jersey that is
trimmed with taffeta makes an ex-
&c ,dingly' handsome garment as we'll
as a practical one. Beige colorcd
jersey cloth with a very wide band at
the lower edge and a cape collar Of
black taffeta is smart combination
and one that bears the approval of the
best designers that Paris can afford.
Pa Travelling costumes of wool Jersey
cloth are made in Russian blouse style
also, and very smart ones are made {
with the genuine Russian blouses
buttoned we'll up to the left shoulder
and finished with a straight collar and
with full skirts, the trimming being
taffeta applied as bands while there is
usually belt of leather or one of the
trimming material. The jersey cloth
is light of weight, it is satisfactory to
wear and is so essentially practical
that it is constantly being put t o new
uses. The silk cloth has already been
utilized for afternoon gowns. A very
charming one that is to make part
of trousseau is of dark blue em-
broidered in gold threads. The cor
sage is in Russian style belted with a
cord made OF bias folds of gold cloth
and the effect is as beautiful as it is
novel. ~. w. psE
The many gored skirt is being pushed
by some designers. The house Of
Jenny has put forth a model of black
taffeta consisting of elven cores with
silver braid used to cover each seam
and over the lower edge. Accompany
ing it is little blouse open at the front
/, to form narrow square and the edges
of these fronts are finished with the
braid and there is little center front
portions or vestee Of silver cloth 81

THE present might be
called the children's
summer, so very charm
ing are the fashions designed
for them. In this group, there
are shown good models. They
not alone will be useful for the
late summer, they also make
suggestions for the coming
season, for they give the newest
features. The bloused frock
No. 9171 makes a. good ex-
ample Of the belted model that
is so we'll liked and the long
blouse may be held by a sash
or by a belt as desirable, but in
either case it takes pretty and
becoming lines and besides
being smart, it is thoroughly
comfortable to wear. The
gored skirt is Of the modified
circular sort, consequently, it
flares prettily. Plaids always
are good for little girls and
plaids can be found in cotton
and in linen and in wool so that
it is easy to copy the idea for
any season. The coat that is
shown on the next figure is
held by a wide belt and just
such belts make a somewhat
important feature Of the ad-
vanced models. Here, it is
made Of a lightweight cheviot
trimmed with 'broadcloth to be
adapted to motoring and to the
cool evenings that occur in the
late summer. For the school
coat Of the autumn, it could be
copied in any suitable material.
The wee children are repre-
sented by the boy suit and the
tiny girls dress and both these
costumes are interesting The
girls dress is finished with a
very deep collar that gives ex-
tremely becoming lines and
marks the tendency toward the
tapped fronts or surplice idea.
The boys suit is eminently
child-like and at the same time
It is masculine in effect and that
combination is found in the
newest and best models.

Flashes of Coming Fashions

ONCE September is the month of
weddings, it must also be the
month of trousseau and trous-
seau always afford interesting OPP
portunity for the consideration of the
latest fashions and fancies. While
there is nothing distinctly new to re-
cord there are interesting variations
and there are adaptations OF material
that are suggestive and in every way
worthy of consideration. To the
casual observer, the conditions that lie
back OF even the simplest things may
not be apparent, but those of us who
must study the fashions from every
point of view are keenly aware that
designers are putting forth great efforts,
and that an immense amount of in
genuity is being used to cover the
shortage of dyes and the shortage of
trimmings that are inevitable under
existing conditions.
Hand embroideries and fancy
stitchery of all sorts have been ex-
tensively employed throughout the
season. As new and attractive
finish for tailored suit as has appeared
is machine stitching utilized in various
ways. An exceedingly handsome going
away suit for bride of the week is
made of Fall weight wool gabardine in
a becoming shade of blue. The coat
and skirt both are finished with ma
chine stitching over a stamped design
such as would be used for soutache
braid. An exceedingly smart linen
costume, again in blue with revers Of
white, is trimmed with straight rows Of
machine stitching arranged in groups.
There are three of these groups on the
skirt set a little more than their own
width apart. There are three rows at
the upper and three at the lower edge
Of each cuff and the collar of white
linen is edged with three rows of the
stitching. set closer together. Until
one has seen such a costume and
realized its effect, it is difficult to
understand how effective it can be.
In some cases, the machine used for
the purpose shows tiny little chain
stitch on the right side but more often
it is the plain lock stitch that is en-
ployed and it is the color contrast and
the line of the stitching that makes the
effect. Machine hemstitching has
been so extensively employed as to al
most create distaste. The simpler
form of stitchery is being greatly used
and while it does not SEEM to serve
quite the same purpose, will to some
extent, supplant the more open stitchery
and is certainly exceedingly handsome
and exceedingly effective when we'll
handled. The first to appear was seen
fully eighteen months ago on French
costume of dark blue stitched with red.
Since that time, the idea has been
applied in numberless ways and with
such good result that it seems likely
to take a definite place. 1t is used
upon silk. it is used upon linen and it is
used upon wool, while it also is used
upon the thinner and lighter materials.
The simplest form of embroidery and
stitchery that is easily within any
woman's reach, is utilized to bring

about exceedingly novel and really
fascinating effects. A charming street
gown, is for example, of white broad
cloth. 1t consists Of simple blouse
and skirt which is gathered at the
upper edge and the lower edge of the
skirt is finished with over and over
stitchery in light blue silk approximate
ly one inch in width There are tabs
or panels of white silk embroidered
with blue, arranged over the blouse and
skirt in a most effective way There
is double collar, the upper one OF
blue batiste, the under one Of white
broadcloth edged with frill of the net
that is embroidered with blue. The
quaint and attractive sleeves are in
bell shape, the under sleeves of the
white net embroidered with blue. The
entire trimming is accomplished with
the needle and wonderfully beautiful
and attractive it is. Since only the
simplest forms Of needlework are used
and the stitches are all of the familiar
sort, the idea is one that would be
turned to practical account.
Unusual combinations of materials
are apparent, too. in the trousseau of
the month and afternoon gowns OF
silk and of Georgette crepe are made
fascinatingly novel by trimmings of one
sort or another. A dainty one is Of
white silk combined with silk net.
The full gathered skirt is of white silk
and there are two deep hounces of.net
arranged over it. Each of these
founces is attached with putting Of
the material and is open at the front
where the ends appear to be held by
tied bows of velvet ribbon. The
blouse which extends below the waist
line to form peplum is of the plain
material shirred to form it's own girdle.
The elbow sleeves are finished with
deep flounces and puffs of the net while
the wide collar shows two puffs Of the
net and little velvet bows in front to
match those on the skirt. 1t is a
marvelously dainty costume and an
exceedingly chic costume, yet it is as
simple as it can be. A very dainty
gown of Georgette crepe is shown with
little black glass beads and black
shadow embroidery used sparingly upon
the blouse. Novel Georgette crepe
costumes are, trimmed with velvet
ribbon and wherever one turns there
is evidence Of combining apparently in
congruous things is made manifest in
extremely attractive ways, Chiffon
and silk are combined to make wonder
full costumes and colored chiffon shares
the honors with white. An exceed
ingly dainty costume is made of the
material in a pale pink and the skirt
&c tri,n,ned with i0Seto IF yyhife taffeto
showing printed designs of tiny rose
buds. Each of these medallions is
framed with a little futing of white
lace. There is sleeveless jacket of
taffeta that accompanies the gown and
the sleeveless bodice of silk can be
worn with dresses Of organdie, of net.
of batiste and of all such fragile ma
terials Chiffon and velvet make
favorite combination for Fall afternoon
dresses, and ribbon, both silk and velvet
