NOVEL KIND OF TRIMMING
Suggestion for Those Who Don't Want
Beads or Embroidery and Prefer
Something Newer Than Applique.

Have you a dress in the making that
needs" something in the way of a
bit of distinguishing decorativeness?
No, You don't want embroidery, and
you don't want beads, and you prefer
something newer even than applique.
Well, If you are looking for something
startlingly new, the following ought to
prove of paramount interest to you:
Provide yourself with some plain,
narrow taupe or ribbon, either satin
or metallic, apply it in the desired
motifs on the underside of the gar
ment; secure it and finish the edges
with machine hemstitching. On the
right side you will thus have achieved
an unusually interesting embossed eff
feet.
Metallic ribbon thus applied is par
ticularly lovely on evening dresses.
And it is a very new departure from
ribbon embroidery.

HOW TO MEND Prayed EDGES
Guns That Are Worn Can Easily Be
Put In Good Shape With a Little
Work on the Machine.

Guns that are worn on the edge can
be easily mended by wetting the cuff.
Wiring as dry as possible: smooth the
cuff out with the hands. With scissors
point start the stitching. You will be
surprised how easily the cuff will rip
open.
Smooth out the edges and then turn
in the ragged edges on both sides of

Walstcoata for the Stout.

For the older, stouter woman who
finds suddenly that her favorite dress
has grown too tight, try the waistcoat
idea. Cut away the front OF the waist
and add new side front sections cut
away at the waist, allowing a deep
pointed waistcoat to extend down over
the skirt. This gives the extra room
in the waist and the long lines a stout
figure must have. A panel Of new ma
teriaI viii give more width to the skirt.
Deep cuffs and fancy belt can be
added of material The same as the
vest. A charmeuse could be remod-
eIed In this way, making the side front
sections, waistcoat, cuffs, belt and skirt
panel of crepe de chine, or a serge
dress might have the panel as well as
