collar is wired to maintain its perfec;
shape. 1t is clever idea and an idea
worth needing for it gives the high
effect without discomfort inasmuch
as the collar is cut down at the front
and passes comfortably under the
chin. A very lovely gown, again
designed for afternoon wear is Of white
Georgette crepe with deep border Of
cut work in dark blue. The skirt Is
made straight and very full about one
or two inches shorter than the found
alton which is of soft white silk faced
with blue to match the embroidery
this blue extending just little above
the depth of the border on the skirt
itself. The bodice shows the bordered
material used with exceeding clever
ness and the half low neck referred ia
above makes feature. The sleeves
are in three-quarter length. I'm
doubtedly, the style is an ideally
comfortable one for midsummer wear
and for the woman who can adapt Il
with safety, it has advantages without
number.
Russian blouses OF thin materials
were mentioned some weeks ago but
they are growing in number and ap-
pearing in SO many different forms
that they seem to demand further
exploitation. A very charming cos
tune seen at display of French
models consisted of an elaborate skirt
of black taffeta with deep white yoke
and belted blouse of Georgette crepe
in Russian style that finished Just be-
low the edge of the yoke. Separate
blouses of the crepe of pongee and OF
various silks are being very generally
exploited and are pretty to wear in
place of the more conventional blouse.
Some few of them are finished in
genuine Russian style closed to the
left shouldersand with high collar
but in compliment to the coming
season of warm weather, notifications
are general and very lovely blouses
of Georgette are seen with big rolling
collars that give the open neck.
Dainty and attractive ones are made
of white with collars and cuffs of color
and are worn with girdles that are
richly embroidered with beads.
Blouses of pongee are much exploited,
too and are pretty for morning wear
and practical women are always quick
to recognize the advantage of fashions
of such sort. In one of its latest forms,
the blouse has appeared in handker-
chief linen in dainty colors suggestive
of the spring flowers and the linen
blouse will find thousand uses.
For the street there are all kinds of
fascinating little collarettes of tulle
and of lace and ostrich trimming are
being generously used. They make
a really ideal finish for the spring
costume, they are generally becoming
and they are offered in such wide
variety that something should be
found to suit each face. There are
the simple ruches that fit closely about
the neck, there are cape collars and
there are collarettes of numberless
kinds. The combination of ostrich
with soft crepe or with ribbon is very
charming and exceedingly becoming
for the ostrich has softening effect
and suits almost every face.

A Pongee Gown an
By May Manton

quite simple one with the fronts
Tapped in surplice style. The skirt
consists of three hounces and the
foundation extends to knee depth.
The diagrams which accompany
the patterns show both the blouse
and skirt laid out on material forty
four inches wide. Since there is no
material wide enough to cut the
hounces in one piece, the selvaged
edges must be joined to give the
necessary length. If the material is
narrower, the piecings will be made
on different lines but the pattern will
be laid out in the same way. The
organdie used for the little crossed
over portion or chemisette and collar
NAV be white or blue or flesh color as
may best suit the individual for it will
be correct whichever of the three
colors is chosen. Colored accessories
are much in vogue and white is al
ways dainty and generally becoming.
Here, the blouse is a very simple
one with fronts that are gathered at
the shoulder edges, but the pattern
includes a cape and peplum which
can be used if liked and for which
directions will be found on the en-
velope.
To make the gown as it stands,
first smooth out the pattern Pin all
the pieces into place and cut around
the outside edges, for the seams are
allowed and you have no calculations
to make, the work has been done for
YOU. Mark the perforations and
notches and carry them through to
the under-side with tailor's tacks.
Be sure to remember that the tiny
perforations within the edges indicate
the basting and sewing lines
Gather the fronts of the blouse at
the shoulder edges between the double
crosses and join to the shoulder edges
of the back, taking up first tiny seam
on the right side, then a second seam
on the wrong side, and stitch it to the
second seam on the perforations.
Toin the under-arm edges in the same
way and Join the edges of the sleeves.
To make the cuffs neatly they require
to be lined, therefore, you must cut a
lining exactly like the outside but from
some thin material. preferably Habutai
silk or the silk and cotton Mouselline
that is so much used for lining summer

measure the number of inches from the
center front of the belt to the edge of
the blouse and cut an opening just that
many inches to the left of the front Of
the skirt. UNDERTAKE. the front edge
of this opening and finish the back
with an extension lap.

Highlander Won
Prizes at Fair

R. H. Crummett, of Crabbottom
Highland county, has on exhibit
ton at the Planters Bank the
grasses and grains which he sent to
the state fair.
Mr.. Crummett, althoug h he took
several premiums with his farm
products does not advise Highland
ers to change present methods of
farming to more extensive raising
of grain. He believes that High
landers can raise more to the acre
with a little attention, and as they
always must produce what stock
consume, the returns would be
of great value.
Mr.. Crummett's exhibit was
composed of vetch, alfalfa, rye,
corn, wheat, oats, peas etc. He
took first premium on sheaf of oats
and second on grasses, grains and
foreign crops.
The grain and grasses will remain
at the bank for several DAYS before
be takes them back to Highland
Staunton Leader.
