Are EcOnOmizing
On DreSSmaking

New York.-A man who likes sta
more spools of thread have been sold
since America went into var than
ever before in its history.
This is taken to indicate that there
Is an important revival of home dress
making. 1t is difficult to prove this
condition of affairs. a prominent fash
lon correspondent writes, but the
spools of thread are good enough evil
dence that the women on this con
tinent are employing seamstresses to
make new gowns for them or to alter
old ones. And they are also doing
their own sewing.
On the other hand, the shops insist
that the sale of ready-to-wear gar
ments has been immensely stimulated
by the war. Women who are giving
their time to war relief work are will
ing and anxious to get costumes with
the least possible expenditure of vital
ity to themselves, and this can be
achieved through the ready.to-wear
departments.

that women of small means are buy
ing better materials and paying more
for their clothes than they have ever
done in the history of American COM
merce in apparel.
Those who think out the situation
say hat this is due to the employment
of thousands of women in new ways.
Instead of these women purchasing
cheap, tawdry things, they add $40 or
$15 to the price Of a costume and
buy a gown that gives steady service.
America Has Done Her Part.
The one outstanding episode in the
interesting and important movement
Of spring clothes, is the immense
stride in designing that America has
taken.
All that has gone before was ex-
%perimental, but this spring the clothes
are good. They make no pretention
of changing the silhouette as laid
down by the Paris designers; the only
drastic revolution in silhouette which
has been attempted by this country,
took place last summer, when the mar

with nut meats. The Juice of two
oranges may be used In place of the
lemons, making a pleasing variety.
Dreamed Sardines.-Melt four table

France has cut her silhouette as

It for tailored costumes, but France

sleeves will float away from the arms
