SIMpLEAND PRETTY
DESIGN FOR WAIST THAT WILL
BE FOUND EASY TO MAKE.
If Elaboration Is Desired, All-oVer En-
broidery for the Cape Collar and r
Cuffs May Be Utillzed-Suit-
able Fabrics to Be Used.

A woman of the writer's acquaint-
ance says that for a certain period,
at this season of the year, 1t is her
daily habit to cut out and make shirt
waist before breakfast. This she con-
tinues to do until she has about two
dozen waists of the simpler sort. On
the finer waists she appliques designs
OF embroidery, or lets in a bit OF lace
to enrich the upper part of the gar
ment.
Some women may not believe that
a waist can be made before breakfast,
but let the doubter study the accom-
panying design and she will probably
realize how quickly it may be cut out
and stitched up. The first waist will
require a fitting, of course, but the
others will not-and the fitting neces-
sary for this design is practically con-
fined to the arrangement of the COL
lar over the back. AS will be noted, 1t
does not fit in front.
To make an elaborate waist quickly,
one can use all-over embroidery for
the cape collar and for the cuffs. For
trimming on the edge frill OF narrow
embroidery may be used, or one OF
plain material with a scalloped edge.
When the waist is constructed OF
sheer material, plain net will make a
charming frjll for the collar and
sleeves. In any event, an edge that
displays a lace effect or the finish OF
embroidery is always more decorative
than any other
Besides the usual silk materials with
which every woman is familiar beau
tiful fabrics are to be found among
