Dress and How
 By May Manton

Gut along the outside edges of the pattern and mark all the perforatio and notches, then mark the basting line or row of tiny perforations neatest the edges for these represent your sewing line and when you keep perfect sewing line you keep a perfect shape and therefore the smart ness of your garment. Garry the markings through to the underside with tailor's tacks, then begin with the under blouse or lining
 Put the pieces together as the en- velope directs and use the French seams. that is. take up the seams first on the right side making as narrow d stitching as possible. then turn and take the second time on the wrong side, sewing this time on the line of perforations indicating the seam. In the case of the darts, bring the lines of pcrforations together and baste on the perforations. Make scam three cighths of an inch beyond the perfora- tions at the lower edge and continue them within.to the second line of per forations. then slope it up to meet the folded edge. Cut away one-eighth of an inch beyond the sewing then turn and stitch the second time closely and neatly. on the perforations and this time on the wrong side. Make hem on the right back edge as the envelope directs. For the underlacing, cut q straight strip of the material exactly as long as the back and one and one-half inches in width. loin one long edge to the back of the blouse bringing the right sides together and seam on the left side. Turn over on the seam and turn the remaining edge of the underfacing under just enough to bring the folded edge little within the line Of perforations and hem it into place. When the hem is tapped over to the perforations the facing will not be seen After the sleeve edges are joined, gather. In the pie ture, the cuffs have been omitted and only straight bands used with the frills attached and for thin material this is the better finish. If you desire the cuffs, you will find the directions on the envelope. To make as in the illustration, join the ends of the bands with the double seams, then join the bands to the sleeves with the seams on the right side. Join the ends of the frills with the double seams and finish the outer edges with tiny hand sewed hems, then join them to the
 lower edges of the cuffs, with the seams on the right side. Now to make pretty finish, cut bias strips Of white taffeta three-quarters of an inch in width. Fold the edges under 10 exactly meet at the center and it will give band three-eighths of an inch in width when met. We meet the edges in order to make the bands of double thickness for their entire width. Arrange one of these bands over each scam and stitch carefully into place, along both edges. Sew snap fasten- ings on the back of the blouse for closing. To finish the neck edge, underface with strip of bias crepe which you have cut one inch in width. As the next step make the skirt.
 Gather the founce and join to the side portions as directed, finishing the seams neatly on the under side then

The Newest
Novelties

Shirt waists of Georgctte crepe. embroidered with beads and silk of contrasting colors. The waists Of this material wash we'll and are very dainty and serviccable.
 Underwear of shell silk batiste is cool looking and fresh and can be had at very reasonable prices.
 Gowns made of silk and chiffons are charming and can be used for both formal and informal affairs,
 There is again tendency toward the use of separate coats. They are fashioned in such a way that the same coat may be utilized for street or even ing wear. Velour is very popular ma teriaI for the making of these coats.
 Light colored shoes seem more in favor than ever, and will be worn with tailored suits as well as with light dresses.
 Ribbons reign supreme for trim minss. The colors and qualities are Iimitless. A very new one IS the fibre ribbon which comes in all colors.
 Beautiful stocks and jabos, some of lawn, batiste, organdy, others more elaborate of fine laces and nets with hand embroidery.
 Quite a few waists are opened in the back and have high standing collars.
 Wool jersey suits of bright oo,ors are the thing for women who lead an out of door life. They arc light of weight, have warmth and are an all-round suit. Silk suits are favorites for afternoon wear.
 Bathing suits of taffeta and satin are more varied in color and design than ever before. At the same time they are stunning.
 Two-piece linen suits are noteworthy in the many subtle shade variations.
 Voiles are shown in two-toned stripe effects, the darker shade being a velour or pile weave. Some presenta- tions have white grounds with varied colored velour stripes. Poplins seem to be one of the prime favorites, having beautiful printed flower designs from the modest violet to the grand old chrysanthemum.
 Plaited skirts and jackets are good style. An evening wrap of charmeuse, trimmed with marabou IS attractive. A neck piece of maline, shirred over taffeta and completed with velvet bow of some contrasting color IS ex- ceedingly smart.
 In Baskst conception of coloring come beautiful combs for evening wear

to Make It

prepare the draperv. The lower edge must be finished. If ii is convenient. 1t will be well to have t hemstitched by machine and to cut through to get the picot that is so pretty on the Georgette crepe. Ifthis IS not feasible, you can finish with little bias bands of the taffeta that will match the cuffs and fc do this turn the seam upon the right side, then cut peplum bias strips as you have done for sleeves and baste over the edge. All th SC bands can be stitched along the edges by machine but 1t is prettier 10 blind stitch them, that Is 10 take the stitches from the under side with out catching them through to the right side, so that there is mo sewing visible. Next, prepare the drapery as directed on the envelope and arrange over the side portions. basting the upper edges and the side5 care. fully into place. Turn the edges ot front and of back under as directed and arrange over the side portions and haste into place Sew the seams under the plaits To finish the placket, underface the right side with a straight strip of material and cut strip .of the same length and twice the width Tor the back edge Sew one long edge to the edge of the back and fold at the center and fell the other edge over the seam, then you will have an extension over which the front edge can be lapped to make a neat closing, Now gather both front and back and join to your under blouse or lining and take care that the joining is made exactly as directed on the envelope but you must finish the left side of the skirt free from the center front and to do this 1t will be best to join to narrow band To finish the edge of the lining. which is left free, make d little hem with the seam allowance.
 For the over-bodice, first finish the shoulder edges Of the back, turn the seam under on the tiny perlorations and baste into place, then cut bias strips of taffeta three-quarters of an inch in width and fold at the center. Lay one under each shoulder and allow the folded edge to extend one eighth of an inch beyond the edge Of the bodice Miter neatly at the points and baste, then turn and blind stitch
 into place. Gather the fronts. Lap the right back over the front to meet the tiny perforations that indicate the seam, and haste into place. Sew neatly and strongly to the intnrned edges of the back but do not bring any stitches through to the right side. The left side must be finished for the closing, therefore. bind it with silk seam binding which is thin and inconspicuous. Sew tiny double snap fastenings into these edges for the closing. Ioin the under-arm edges at the right side with d double seam and finish the left side by un- derfacing the front edge and finishing the hack with an extension lap, as already directed for the skirt. Finish the arm-hole edges with bias pipings of the silk, then gather at the lower edge. Finish the side edges of the center trimming portions and all the edges of the side portions with bias piping.

Embroidered
 Wrist Bags

The wrist bag is necessary acquisition to every wardrobe, but 1t seems difficult for one to find just the thing that is appropriate for all uses. It is not article of wear we care U have an unlimited number of, therefore we must give quite q little thought to it's selection. The bag pictured here Is very smart and up to date. and one that will meet every requirement. Tho design can be carried out with elaboration or made simply. The newest materials being used at the present time for these articles are heavy taffetas and gros de Londres silk The latter s perhaps the better choice. being heavier and longer wearing. The embroidery pattern carried out in beads makes most effective and dressy bag.

 the skirt, which are joined one to the other. and the little over-bodice that is finished separately. Put together they make very dressy and attractive toilette but each one taken by itself gives quite different effect and if you will consider the garment in sec tions. so to speak, you will realize its simplicity. In the picture, the ma terial is lowered taffcta with the drapery and under-bodicc of Geor- eette crepe and the trimming of taffeta in white taffeta and both these ma terials are to be found in forty-four inch width

If you are using a combinat ton of materials, it will be necessary only 10 lay the drapery and the lining or under bodice on the crepe but to follow the methods shown on the diagram.
