Fltzhugh's hall wednesday evening

Fitzhugh's hall Wednesday evening
was one OF the most pleasing social
functions ever given here.
Each performer on the program
reflected much credit not only upon
herself but upon her teacher as we'll.
Especially pretty was the May pole
number which was most unique in
character. Sixteen young ladies
gowned In white participated. The
white May pole crowned with May
basket Of carnations with its pink
and light green ribbons presented a
picturesque appearance. The stays
was most attractively decorated in a
manner BETTING the season. The
guest list comprised the parents and
friends Of the pupils. Following the
program ice cream and cake were
served. r
Miss Remlinger, who is a gradu.
ate Of the Cincinnati Conservatory
OF Music, has made q most success
full record as teacher. She has
given several entertainments here
but this easily eclipses all former
ones.

The man who is always stalking" his reputa-
ton, would not as rule be very much out
should he loseit.
Sometimes man or a store will slide, quite
stretch on reputation acquired without any
reliable or logical reasons for it's existence, but
there always comes a time when even a good
rputation will squash out" unless there is the
right character back of it. d. -
We have built up good reputation for fair
dealing, dependable merchandise and liberal
policy. ii e
And whenever we reach a time when we do
not want to improve the service of our store,
we'll get just what we deserve.
But, If there is any chance for improvement,
you may safely wager all the spuds in the patch
that we will be on the ground before the dew is
off the vines.
Improve the service is the watchword.

certain indications to be cleaned and
certain novelties TO be seen and OF
course the month Of weddings will al
ways bring beautiful costumes and
certain important events. while the
trousseau are apt TO be suggestive.
II is evident that the Russian blouse
is 20 be a favorite throughout the sea-
son and a hint that may be CLEANED
from advance information that comes
from important designers, gives evi-
dence of still further favor. Il is
shown in net and il is shown in other
thin materials as well as in the heavier
ones. A very dainty and charming
one that makes part Of a trousseau is
Of sheer white organdie to be worn
over a skirt Of tafeta. II is a wonder
fully dainty garment and a really
fascinating garment for organdie is one
OF the lovliest fabrics that ever was
woven The blouses are called Russian
and they are 70 a certain extent, for
they are belted and the blouse and
skirt portions are cut in one but all
sorts Of liberties are taken with the
neck, the V-shaped necks, the round
necks. the rolling collars and other
finishes that certainly are not Russian
are 20 be net. The organdie blouse in
question is finished with a big rolling
collar suggestive Of the cape idea. To
further enhance its daintiness, the edges
are all finished with picot. there is no
trimming sewed on.
Every variation Of the cape Is max
ing itself manifest We have cape
wraps Of all sorts and all kinds and
cape collars in almost limitless variety.
The summer furs have really developed
into a great many summer wraps that
are fur trimmed and there are very
handsome and at the same time service

only trimming is q little band OF con-
ventionalized flowers around the crown
which is embroidered with tiny beads
onto the material itself The beads
are very beautiful in color and they
really make singularly striking effects.
Much Of the bead embroidery is simple
10 do. in fact none Of it is really eX-
acting for even il the pattern is in
tricate. it is necessary only 20 follow
the design. The actual work consists
merely in sewing the beads where they
belong.
What VIC know as the sports but
which are really the outdoor costumes
are bringing about some extremely
interesting Developments One OF the
latest fancies is combining the MILDLY
with the cape An exceedingly smart
model shows blouse Of tho regulation
sort but with a deep cane that IS al
most too big to be called a cape collar
that rolls away from the neck and
ripplcs oVr the shoulders in most

Hats for midsummer are Of various
materials. but some Of the smartest
and best liked are Of flexible hair braid
woven 10 form plaid Of delicate pastel
colors that is exceedingly attractive
for warm weather wear. The hats
take the simple regulation form Of the
wide brimmed sailor and the accepted
trimming consists Of a band Of moir6
ribbon finished with fat tailored bow
without ends
Bathing suits have been discussed
again and again for many Of them are
so extreme as scarcely 10 avoid mention
but as might have been torseen, the
costumes selected by women Of the
hest taste, while they show many OF
the newest features, are by no means
bizarre or by no means extreme. An
extremely handsome one seen at a
nearby beach is Of striped salt water
satin, black and soldiers blue, and the
suit is made in what might be called
the harem or Turkish style with very
wide full bloomcrs that are Joined to

general directions for the making. The
guimpC is shown on all over lace thirty
six inches wide and the skirt here is
made of founcing, therefore, Il must
be laid on the crosswise fold whereas
in the diagram it is shown on the length
wise fold, but the directions for making
will remain. Since it is laid on the
crosswise fold there will be no piecing
required The guimpe. bodice and
tunic are laid on material thirty-six
inches wide, which is the accepted
width for taffeta today.
As the first step we will make the
guimpe. Smooth the pattern out. lay
il on the material as it is shown, then
pin carefully into place and cut around
the outside edges Mark the basting
line and all the markings with the
tailors, tacks that have been described
often. There is no marking in the
attern for a neck line as low as this,
therefore, leave the guimpe as it is and
ait until the bodice is cut out TO get
he line exactly as you want it. Close
he shoulder and under-arm seams,
using the double seams, then turn the
right back edge under on the circles
and turn the edge under again on the
seam, and hem. Finish the left for the
underlap, that is, underface to the
depth Of the circles with a straight
strip Of material Finish the lower
edges Of the sleeves, either by having
them hemstitched by machine then
cutting to get the picot edge or by
sewing lace to them. Cut the cuffs,
which are foundations only, from plain
net and arrange the sleeves over them.
Close the seams and place in the arm
holes as directed. For this use, gather
the blouse at the lower edge and Join
to the peplum for the peplum will
hold it perfectly In place and is far
better than the casing with elastic.
The skirt 10 be worn under this
tunic should be finished at the high
waist line but without the frill there
fore, YOU will cut it off one-half inch
above the first line of circles. Sew up
the back seam using the double seam,
below the notches. Then underface
the right side of the opening, finish the
left with an extension lap, that is, cut
one strip. Of material one inch in width
and another two inches in width and
the length of the placket. Underface
with the narrow strip and join one
long edge Of the longer strip to the left
side Of the opening, fold at center and
hem the remaining edge into place over
the seam. Lap the undertaking over
the extension lap and stitch together
firmly across the lower edge Gather
the skirt at the upper edge. Adjust
the betting over the figure and sew the
fastenings into place. Be sure that
it fits exactly, then arrange the skirt
over it and underface the upper edge

A Handsome Costume and
Directions for it's Making

The bodice and tunic really make
the feature Of the costume. The en-
velope that accompanies them is eN
oeedingly clear. The neck line given
in the pattern is the round one so tha
there will be no change TO be made
At the under-arm edges If the fronts
the bodice are circles. Fold on the
double smaller circles and lap to thI
larger ones, to form upward turning
plaits. AS the next step, finish all the
edges Of the bodice. In this case
turn the seam up on the right side and
sew it into place lightly with a running
stitch. Then sew the velvet ribbon
over it. Lap the back over the front
as directed and attach the right side
to position, taking the stitches fror'
the underside, through the double ed
Of the material but not through III,
ribbon. Lap the left side and bastc
into place. Then mark clearly Just
where the snap fasteners must be
placed 20 attach it firmly and ac-
curately. Remove your hastings and
sew the fasteners. To make the tunic
on the lengthwise fold, it will be
necessary TO join the selvaged edges Of
the material, to get the required length.
Then close the back seam and press it.
To get the finish illustrated, turn the
lower edge under first one-half inch
then again for two inches to obtain the
hem you have allowed and sew it
lightly into place. Then arrange the
first row of velvet over the sewing and
the other rows Of velvet as illustrated.
Sew TO position at the upper edges
only. Turn the seam on the upper
edge over on the right side between the
circles, slipping the material as ne
oessary to make a smooth turn. Then
sew the velvet ribbon over the edge.
Arrange the tunic under the edge Of the
bodice, allowing the bodice TO extend
over to exactly the width Of the seam,
and take care that the points come
exactly at the circles. Sew it into
place as directed for the under-arm
edge, and all the work Of making will
be done. Adjust the gown on the
wearer and mark the neck line Of the
bodice on the guimpe, then IL will be
easy to mark again one and ope-halt
inches above that line and to finish
with picot.
