used by the dealers and. 20 the credit
Of women buyers, let Il be said, the
slogan is being met with enthusiastic
response. We are seeing very charm

hot weather wear. and We are seeing
American fabrics Of finer and more

condition which the country must

As matter Of course, we are seeing
the patriotic colors and the flag at

it has been necessary for the Attorney
General 70 point out that flag stickers
must not be put on envelopes and

Why is il that when we become enthu-

tons that is nearest each edge indi-
Gates the basting line and that line
is most important. therefore, mark It
with care. Mark all your perforations
and notohes. You ran do this either
with the tailor's tacks that have been

The pattern envelope directs you 20

left for an undertaking, and that is
quite correct, for any material that is

will be better TO allow one inch on each
back edge Of your lining, Of your
blouse and over blouse; then you can
make an inch hem on each, turning
under the first time one-half inch and
The second time one inch and when
YOU lap them you will have the two
sides exactly alike.
Finish the back edges Of the lining

dart together at the front Of the
lining on the wrong side and stitch
on the peliorations, then turn the
darts toward the under-arm edges
and stitch fiat. Close the shoulder
and under-arm seams. and for these
and all other seams use the double
seams, first a narrow seam on the
rieht side and a second scam on the
wrong side taken on the basting line.
As the next step finish the back
edges Of your blouse exactly as you
have done those OF the lining, then
close both the shoulder and the

The military influence is apparent
in great many ways. There viii be
a great deal Of khaki color worn, not
alone in the costumes that a great
many women are preparing for the
fields and for the outdoor labor that
they contemplate in the later season,
but also for general outings and tramps
and occasions Of such sort. Among
the latest output are blouses Of fine
materials. handkerchief lawn and wolfe
and the like. 70 match 80 that one can
wear a khah-colorcd costume without
discomfort. even on the warmest day
that the Summer may bring forth.
There are some very charming jersey
silks in what are known as regimental
stripes. too, that make exceedingly
effective costumes for sports and for
country wear and the dark blue with
a CLINT Of gold is a favorite combina-
ton. Mention has been made in
previous letters of the very extensive
vogue Of the cape. The distinctly
military cape with rs coat front has
been gaining steadily in favor. Today
il is shown not alone in the serviceablc
serge that is admirable for travel and
for camping and foI general wear but
in such materials as white satin for
use upon the piazza and for occasions
that call for a dress OF a similar sort.
Il is such a graceful model and such a
handsome model that il is charming
in whatever fabric il is shown and let
il be added. Il is a very generally be-
coming model. Il DISCUSSES the figure

garment is worn. The neck Of the
blouse also is finished with a rolling
collar and that collar is turned out
over the one Of the coat. The bit Of
white and the CLINT Of gold on the black
background are very charming, and
as a matter Of course, the idea can be
carried out in blue or in gray or IN any
one Of the iavorite colors. IL is a
season Of quiet tones Tor street wear,
gray and beige and tan and brown
and the like are favorites and the
treatment will be suggestive for one
and for all. There has been something
Of a return 20 waistcoats too, and a
great many Of the wool suits are worn
with waistcoats Of white pique that
are exceedingly chic. A iavorite model
is cut TO form a deep point at each side
Of the front and is finished with a high
naring collar IL suits the severe tail
ored suit perfectly and il has just that
little hint Of the military suggestion
that is constantly cropping up in one
way or another.
There is an evident return to the
favorite separate blouse. We shall
wear a great many blouses Of thinner
material with heavier skirts and since
there never was a more thoroughly
satisfactory or comfortable costume
for warm weather, the return is well
come. The best dressed women at the
Spring resorts established the vogue
and il already has met with cnthu-
siastic general response. For morning
wear, for sports and for occasions OF
such sort. cotton and linen materials
are the best and wolfe and handker-
chief lawn are having great vogue.
For the afternoon you can, Of course,
use crepe de chine and Georgette crepe
and as dainty materials as you like for
the separate blouses and skirts. In
great many instances the blouscs are
touched with the material Of th'
skirt 20 give the costume idea, although
that treatment is not essential. Wha
makes the smaitness Of these blouse
is the care with which they are mad

and finish Of the sort.
