All About Seams and Darts
and Things

"HERE promises to be winter full
of surprises for the man who
follows the fashion this year.
With the first touch of the crisp fall
air the modists are spreading out their
newly imported wares, fresh from
Budapest and the Rue de la Rue max
ing a veritable fairyland of the shops
along the Avenue. Let us go. like Au-
cassin and Nicolette, hand in hand, and
see what these myrmidons of style,
these, one might almost say, arbiters of
fashion, have to display.
All of the coats are being built more
degage than last season. That is, there
is a more complaisant flare to the
back-breadth, with just touch of
swank to the decolletage. If the wear
er can trust himself to hold one posi-
ton during the day, he may be relieved
of the fear that an ever-so-tlny strip OF
shirtings is showing between the waist
coat and the top of the belt. This is
Notifying, as we all know, and many
a careful man will welcome this cut Of
tunic which obviates this danger oil
such occasions as reaching up to turn
on the electricity.
Of course, every one who knows
has been waiting to see what the big
houses would put forth before putting

This is the time of year when every
host says to himself, What shall do
for Halloween" for no energetic pater-
familias should let any holiday, legal or
illicit, 90 by without making the chill
dren stand for another party, or at least
stringing streamers Of colored paper
from the electric lights to the individual
salts. But when you consider what
problem it is to think up something APP
propriate with which to tie up the table
on, for instance, st. Swithin's Day, or to
arrange for just the right kind of party
TO give on the fiscal New Year, the
question of Halloween becomes COM
paratively simple.
First come the decorations.
AS you all know, Halloween means
"All Hallows Eve" and was originally
celebrated as an evening devoted to All
tIallows. Nobody or nothing which was
not Hallow could celebrate at that
time, and it was the ill-feelng which
arose among the poor people who were
not Hallows and who had to sit by and
see All Hallows running about celebrat-
ing that later on led to the French Rev
olution.
In view Of the history of the event,
what could be more appropriate for
table decoration than bituminous coal?
Fill nod attractively with these glis-

A Pretty Suggestion for Halloween

tening black nuggets, so that the pieces
which fall off on the table-cloth will
spell HALLOWEEN" This should be
placed in the centre Of the table direct
ly under the electroler Then place al
each plate an individual piece of coal, to
which is tied one end Of a yellow rib
bon, which, in turn, is tied to the cleo
trolier The yellow ribbon, with the
black coal, makes up the color scheme OF
yellow and Lack, in keeping with the
old-time Halloween Jingle:
"YeIlo1O and Black, YelloW and Black.
Mumbelty-bumbelty, Yellow and Black"
When the dinner is over, these pieces
of coal can be utilized in bright little
contest of wits, in which, at a given
signal from the host, each guest throws
his or her piece of coal at his or her
right-hand neighbor, the ribbon keep
ing the coal from falling to the floor af-
ter it has hit its mark.
But to go back to the table decora-
ton.
To carry out the spirit of the thing,
detachable cuffs of varied patterns can
be filled with candy and placed at each
place. Then, when the cuff is picked
uD, the candies will roll about the cloth,
causing a merry scramble. If you have
time, touch of library paste added to
each piece of candy before it is placed
III the cuff will make it sticker, if any
thing.
When you have the table arranged in
this fashion. cover the whole with a
rubber blanket.

the arrangement of the most patent
article of his apparel.
For such a man there is the George
V style undergarment, lacing up the
side from bottom to top with grace
full little ribbon of blue charnleuse. 1t
is high of waist-line; in fact, there is no
waist-line, giving the whole thing a
crashing effect of the First Empire
fashion, but there are, neverthe-
less, a little line Of buttons run
ming right up the front as far as
it goes. These give an added sense
of security and yet are not in any
sense prudish. The blouse may have a

How to Dress Baby

1t very often happens that the father
is called upon to dress the baby.
Sometimes he responds. In such cases
it is as well to know the ground plan
of "the little Stranger" and the com.
binations whereby the various articles
Of clothing are made to adhere
In the first place, there is the basic
upper garment, or band" This is
slipped on over the head like shirt
In order to accomplish this, hold the
child between the knees (your knees),
wad the band up so that the hole for the
neck is on top. Then quickly slip it over
the baby's head. You will then find that
it is the arm-hole through which the
head has been inserted, which is OBJ.
viously wrong. Take it off and try it
again. This time it will be the other
arm-hole that is the lucky aperture
This leaves only one other chance, and
you can easily make it in three Insert.
ing the arms in the arm-holes is more
difficult than inserting the head in the
arm-holes, but if you can do it without
causing the baby to choke you may
count yourself lucky. Then pull the
band down snugly in front and back
and attach it lowell, if you started
from scratch, there isn't anything to at
tach it to yet.
This leads us to the basic undergsr-
ment. You will find these in pile on
top of the baby's basket Select one and
taking it by the upper corners with the
thumbs and four fingers, fold it into the
approximate shape Of triangle. This
will not look right. In fact, it will not
be right. The next thing to do is to un'
fold it and refold it into the approx.
mate shape of a paper soldiers hat
This will look even worse. You may
then fold it into any shape that strikes
your fancy. They will all be wrong.
Then take the cloth and spread it out on
the bed. Pull the baby from the laun-
dry hamper into which he has fallen in
the meantime and lay him on the cloth,
about in the middle. Wrap him up in
it like loaf of bread.
When all the cloth has been used up
and the ends tucked in, look for the
safety pins. You will see them on the
table across the room. Insert them at
random, pinning the child to the bed.
spread. This will hold him safe until
you can get his mother.

What to Do With Your
Christmas Presents

1t may seem little early to be writ
ing about Christmas presents, but #
the women are going to begin doing
their Christmas shopping early we men
will have to throw up our first line of
defence and plan what we are going TO
do with the gifts, so that by Christmas
they will all have been disposed of, and
we may have the day for singing carols.
1t has been cleverly said by some one,
probably the writer, that a man Is
known by the presents he keeps. How
true this is of life Any man who can.
not manage to lose his pair of ham,
mered brass ff-links down the drain
or spill cream on his Byzantine tap
estry scarf by the end of the first week
after Christmas is indeed backward.
Of course, there are presents that can
not be lost with any degree of convic-
tion-a leather lounge, for instance. In
such cases the thing to do is to start a
little fire in that section of the house in
which the present is quartered, STA
tioning yourself in the next room with
a hand-extinguisher (adv.) to prevent
the confederation from spreading.
But we are chiefly concerned here
with the presents which can be easily
lifted and disposed of by one or two
persons. What to do with the leather
gift book, for instance? Or the en-
broidered portfolio in which to keep
shaving paper, with legend like this
done in pine cones thereon: when N
me your razor you wipe, may you al
ways take great delight" These are the
big problems Of Christmas giving and
receiving. Obviously, you cannot give
them away to any one else, for this is q
free country and a man doesn't have to
take thing simply because you want
to get rid Of it, Equally obviously you
cannot drop them on the sidewalk as
you walk along, because the civic pride
societies are right on their toes these
days, and won't let you do anything u
mess up the highways. Of course, you
could wrap them up in disguised bum
dies and leave them on some ones door
step or send them to the Sporting Ed
tor, but that would be bit thick: You
want to get rid of them honorably, if
possible.
There is always the ruse of calling
the postman back and saying: Here,
you dropped this from your Bag" If
he says mo" tell him you saw it drop.
If he still insists, knock him down and
sit on his head until he agrees that he
did drop it. This method, however, is
dependent on several conditions for its
success, such as first being able to
knock the postman down. Then, too, it
is too Rooseveltian to be consistently a
part of Christmas Week.
This narrows the matter down u
practically no method of getting rid OF
Christmas presents, which is rather
discouraging conclusion to reach after
having come so far The only remain
ing suggestion would be to refuse to ac-
cept them at all.

A FASHION PAGE FOR MEN
Something in Patterns!
Step This Way

forth anything for themselves. Kalb
fleisch has led the procession with his
cneviot trouserings, with openings at
the bottom Of the legs to admit the feet.
This concession to convenience has not
detracted from the Moyen Age effect
which lends such stunning distinction
to everything that comes from this
house.
From Kammerling, Kammerling d
Kammerling we have what promises to
be one of the smashing tone effects Of
the season-the basque effect applied to
the morning coat. We are privileged to
be able to give herewith the working d.
rections for its making:
There are twelve pieces in this pat
tern-front and back of coat, back and
front of coat, front and back of bertha,
collar sleeve, cuff and vice versa. Ii
this doesn't make twelve, add front and
back of pajama coat.
All seams are allowed, except those
specifically stated above. The basting
line is the dotted line leading from the
edge of the piece.
For medium size-thirty-seven years
seven yards twenty-seven inches
wide-or six yards thirty-six inches
wide-or four and three-quarter yards
forty-four inches wide or twelve yards
seventy-two inches wide material will
be required.
Follow the layout on this page. First
cut out the skirt. Fold the material
lcngthwise, through the centre. Then
unfold it and fold it breadthwise
through right tackle. Pin securely. For
piecing join sewage to selvage and back
to sewage again, two lengths.
Now arrange the remaining pieces as
shown in diagram. Take up the darts.
Lay them down. Take them up.
If the coat is to be made with the
yolk effect, place the material over the
lining from the neck-edge to one-half
inch below the shoulder seams, and fin
ish the left end for an extension under
lap. Look out for a delayed pass with
lie Gore around right end
Gather the sleeves with two rows Of
shirrings and face the left edge. Then
turn about and face the right edge.
Then face the window. This leaves
nothing to be done but to leave note
for the milkman telling him to discon-
tinue the cream until further notice.
In negligees for men we find still
further advance from the old-fashioned
pepper-and-salt underwear of former
years. Men are coming to see the i'm
portance of looking as we'll in the gym
nasium locker-room as they DO in the
lounge upstairs, and
