WORK ON CENTENNIAL

Jackson Miss. Feb 14.-Pro-
motors of the Mississippi Centennial
Exposition, TO be held at Gulfport
in 1917, have decided to take
Echances with the senate. rather than
the house, in starting their appro-
priation bill on its road, asking state
aid in the sum OF $125,000.
This decision is no doubt due to
the low pressure" sentiment that
has thus far prevailed in the house
while on the other hand the sem
ate is manifesting a rather liberal
spirit in dealing with appropriation
bills.
The two Yawn bills, introduced IN
the Senate Friday will be heard be-

the Mississippi Centennial Exposition

HINTS FOR THE HOME DRESS
MAKER.
How to Make the Peasant BIoues

How to Make the Peasant Bloues.
The lowly peasants of the countries
now at war have given to American
women fashion which is absolutely
unique-that is, the peasant blouse.
With this blouse, the peasant wears
dainty apron, which has been trans.
lated into various styles by American
costumers. In some cases it takes the
form of a turned back tunic, or
pointed one. Many of the more exclus-
i've dressmakers have kept to the
apron drapery just as the peasants
wear it, and the quaintness of the eff
feet is charming The material used
on these aprons is usually the same
as that used in making the bodice.
One yard of silk, velvet or poplin is
enough to make the blouse, and anoth,
CIR yard will make the apron. This is
decorated in different ways, such as
embroidery around the bottom of the
apron, like the dainty little ones worn
in "Sari' or by bias bands of the ma
terial used on the rest of the gown
Bone the upper part of your bodice
ever so slightly down to the waist
line, and put one at each side of the
front to keep it firmly in its place
A crinoline foundation must be fitted
to the figure before the bodice is made
of the silk and carefully lined.
The apron is shaped from 10 inches
at the top to IS at the bottom. 1t is at
tached to the bodice by means of, a
regulation waistband, which extends
out from under the V-point at the
front OF the bodice. The bodice proper
is laced together in true peasant fash
ion by means of a silk cord, which
falls in soft tassels in front
Smart gowns in this most attract
i've and novel style are made in tat
feta and lace combinations. One seen
recently had skirt of heavy faille
in Prussian blue. with an apron of
Chantilly lace, bound with rope OF
the faille. The peasant bodice was
made of brocaded chiffon in a lighter
shade, and was kept in straight lines
by rows of shirring. A LAGER of narrow
velvet ribbon in palest flesh color
added a decorative touch to the
blouse.
The sleeves worn with these cos
tunes are often full and long, in white
wash goods-voile, batiste, marquis
cite, etc. The economy of this plan is
evident.
