Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

Every thoughtful woman is considering how she can prac- tice conservation this Winter and such an apron as this one is a valuable help. It protects the gown that is worn beneath and at the same time it is pretty and becoming. It can be made of a striped cotton material as it is here or of a checked ma terial or of a plaid gingham or of plain chambray or of butchers linen with a little fancy stitchery in color around the edges to make very charm ing effect. Women who have sufficient leisure maylike the last suggestion. For the very busy women who must practice con- servation of time as we'll as conservation in other direc- tions, simple stitched edges are desirable. White stitched with blue or with red is1pretty, and blue stitched with white or with buff makes an attractive effect. We, long ago learned that it is worth while to- make the simplest, most prosaic gown pretty because whatever is at- tractive is restful, and we can accomplish. more when sur- roundings are restful than when they irritate the eye and through the eye the nerves.
 For the medium size will be needed, 4 yards of material e7 inches wide, 3 yards 36.
 The pattern No. o582 is cut in sizes 34 or 36, B or 40, A or A bust. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion De- partment of this paper, on re- ceipt of ten cents.
 There are two quite different ,ays in which you can make this blouse, as it is here with a complete under-bodice and a separate over-portion, or with the over-bodice attached to the under-arm pieces and the un- der-bodice omitted. In the. illustration, the under7bodice is made of Georgette crepe and the over-bodice is made of satin. That combination is liked for the separate blouses as we'll as for the gown, and the char mouse shows aA little braiding design that is worked in worsted couched on, that treatment being a new and a smart ohe.
 For the medium size will be needed, 1N yards of material A inches wide for the under bodice, yard A for the over portion to make of two ma terials.
 The pattern No. 958o is cut in sizes from 36 to A inches bust measure. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of fifteen cents.f
