A Little Cloth Will
Make a Dress To-day

THOSE who hive never made
dro~s naturally hesitate to at
tempt re, for fear of destroying the
material. With the simple pattern
used for the dresses on this page,
which were designed especially for
the woman who wants to help reduce
the high cost of living, there is little
chance of the model not turning out
!'u0t as anticipated. Even the in
fated prices of materials need not
daunt the would-be amateur dress
maker, for there never was a time
when it took so little Goth to make
dress. This makes it possible for
us to use the best fabrics and still
spend very little for frock.

inc effect seen in some of The be St
frocks to-day, with short kimono
S eeves, fitted tightly, to give the
effect Of cap sleeves, which may be
any length desired.
Ordinarily, in making dress we
first cut and fit crinoline or muslin
pattern. The pale pink chambray of
which | made this dress, while cost
ing very little r ore than muslin,
was used for this purpose. Three
yards of material, at 80 cents a
yard, and 81 cents for worsted. used
for the embroidery and the gird'e.
made the sum spent for the entire
dress only S1.45. The point of this
dress Is that, viii the cost is So
very little, we have a house dress
much more attractive than the usual
type of working dress, as we'll as a
model that serves as a basis for
making other dresses.
The sleeves and neck are worked
in blanket stitch in soft shade Of
light blue worsted and the girdle is
made of many twisted strands of
the worsted. The pockets also are
embroidered in worsted. 1t takes
New-York tribune., 1919-12-21

worsted for the embroidery, taking
double thread of the worstel
and using several rows of it in
a running long and short stitch down
the front of the dress, the center
ones coming below the waistline to
form a point. They graduated from
there to a shorter length at the
sides. The neck and sleeves have
narrow border Of the worsted en-
brcidery, which is done in small.
solid squares. The dress is drawn
in tightly about tie waist, as the
rench frocks are, with very mar
row bet OF red patent leather. The
complete cost of this dress was SIT.
Very dark blue duvetyn or wool
velours might be used for this and
the embroidery could be gray or blue
worsted
The satin dress at the top of the
page has a conventional design Of
wool embroidery which is done in a
loop stitch and then sheared to make
solid tufts. A dress for country
wear, at the left Of this frock. has a
skirt of satin, accordion p.eated. and
the jacket is gray angora. If angora
IS not practical for your needs the
coat may be very effectively worked
out in any cloth, although the softer
materials ar more attractive.

sire.

page is from the same pattern. In
making it, usefulness and durability

is pale pink silk crepe. The bottom
Is cut in scallops with the skirt
onger in the back than in the front,
and these scallops are bound with a
very pale blue wash silk The en-
broidery, which appears elaborate, i,
really simple, being merely cross
fitch Of pale blue worsted, matching
IN color the silk which binds the
neck, s.eeves and bottom of the skirt.
The worsted roses may be used or
not. Strands Of the wool were
braided to make the gird'e and SIM

long rasseis.

Dresses of To-day
Are Easily Made

\VEN the most costly clothes
FL nowadays are constructol in
A% very simple way, so simple,
in facs, that any woman who
wishes to try can make them fo.
herself. The recent war has encour-
aged more women to work than
have ever done so before, and we
have become interested in the vari
GUS kinds Of work we are doing t.
such an extent that few of US have
much idle time on our hands; so i.
would probably be neither possible
nor profitable for us to make a
of our clothes; but the dresses of to
day are so easily made that We
wonder why it is necessary for dress
makers to charge such a 'armingl-
high prices for them, and for thi
reason many Of us are eager to make
at east some Of them ourselves.
This page has never encouraged 4
women to attempt too great eco
Monies in the matter Of their Clothes,
Tut we believe, however, that SAVING
should be made in some things, IN
order to justify the expense now
necessary in the dresses that they
a5so ute y must buy and pay high
prices for, because clothes cannot
be made to order except at great
expense. We are. therefore, show
ing to-day how these economies may
be easily practiced.

Heavy Embroidery
For the Skirt Portion
IF DIrVETYN ia nsed almost

IF DUVETYN is used, almost the
entire skirt portion of the dress
or as much as you desire-may be
embroidered in heavy threads of
either worsted or silk in self-tone or
contrasting color. When much en-
hroldery is used the se.f-tone looks
ho+ter The choice of embroidery
patterns and stitches alone gives an
Opportunity of getting different
Pleasing effects.
Another experiment which l made
with this model was in rough
back serge which looked somewhat

very little time to make the dress as
it has only two seams.
Taking this for our pattern we
may work out innumerable varia-
tions. In the first place we may cut
the neckline in several different
ways. If the dress is Of cloth it may
be curved down lever in the front
and rolling collar Of fur used,
winch may be made in one or two
pieces. When it is in two pieces the
openings should be on the shoulders.

U. 5, ARMY HAD 75,0O0 RAILROAD
 MEN EN FRANCE

For the past eighteen months, or so, some 75,0oO healthy, aggressive young Americans have been railroad ing in France, their Jobs varying all the way from that of the doctor general of transportation to those of track-repairers and engine-wip They had been engineers from the Santa-F'e,' writes Edward Hunger ford in Everybody's for August, and firemen from the e. conductors from New York Central, brakemen from the Pennsylvania, mechanics from the Southern or the New Haven; bridge gangs from the Milwaukee or the Northwestern-an army of 71,436 en- listed men and 2,5S3 officers, and all in the khaki of Uncle Sam. These men have been helping operate some 5000 miles of French railway-a svs- tenn in size roughly approximating the Northern Pacific. and known as the United States Military Railroad in France.
 There has been . deal of misun- derstanding in regard to our raflroa d in France. In the first place, it is not a corporation; and in the second place it is not even a railroad-not in the sense at least that we Ameri- cans know and understand railroads For while American engineers hay planned, and American workers ,ald 9f7 milss of track-trackage slightly less in length than that of the ines of the Lackawanna Railroad-tf1is track, with few minor exceptions. has not been new line reaching across country, but has been confined largely to yards and to sidings And while we have built and shipped some 16,G00 locomotives and some 1S,0O0 freight-cars from America to the United States Military Railroad in France, each bearing the talismanic U. s. A upon it's gray sides, we still have no railroad in France"

BridgepOrf Man
 Claims Mother Now We'll Again !
Mir. Wm. Shirley of 1776 Main Street testified several weeks ago that Cinot had
 relieved his mother.

It was only two weeks ago that William Shirley of 1776 Main street reported that CINOT had worked mir acles with his mother in her case of rheumatism but MT. Shirley has again returned to the HartiEan Drug Store S1 Fairfield avenue, where the CINOT Expert is introducing this Herbal Tonic, and now says that his mother S completely cured and that she is greatly pleased over her success and wants to extend credit where credit is due.
 Mrs. Shirley had been failing for some time and had complained re peatedly to her son. Everything pos sible was done to relieve her of her suffering but with no apparent suc- cess. She had sick headaches and 6ladder trouble. At nights Mrs. Shir- ley could not sleep at all and 1t began to look doubtful if Mrs. Shirley would be long with us. She was terribly constipated and had backaches that made life reign of misery.
 'But.' said Mir. Shirley "I am sure glad to come hack the second time and tell you again what we think of CINOT and the great relief that it has given my mother. Her bladder trouble is a thing of the past and at night she SIeepS Ilhe a papN. IT sure IS won der full and I just can hardly believe that my mother is herself again. Of course the proof only is to look at her and you can see that she is retuvenated.
 Don't spare any words in telling everyone what we think of this tonic l want to go down on record. My mother feels that there is a great as- sistance that she ought to perform for all sufferers as she was and wants you to use her name to tell people where to go to prove that CINOT has put her on her feet again.
 Did you ever feel that same way that Mrs. Shirley felt? If you do now is the time to get relief. Go to the drug store of Joseph Hartigan, s1 Fairfield avenue. and talk with the CINOT Expert, who is introducing this remedy to the Bridgeport public Adv.

NO FREIGHT ON R-4 GILLETTES
 OFFICERS OWN

Boston, Aug. 1-erPsistent rumors that shipments of merchandise had been made by the R-34 were dis counted today by an official of the Gillette Safety Razor Company, whose product was one of those often mentioned in connection with the latest shipments.
 He stated Tho flight of the air ship to Mineola and return was pure ly a scientific enterprise under the direct control of the government of Great Britain
 Tt is true that a number of Gil- fettes wore taken back in the air ship but those were secured by the oficers of the RIA Tor their personal use.
 Tt appears that they suffered nc fittie inconvenience in flying to America through the effect of raw cold air on the skin and the lack of warm shaving water. and they pro- cured Gfiiettes to obviats this incon- fenco and discomfort on the trip home"

 Grirlsby fishermen made their position very plain, declaring they could not operate their steam traw- lers with the new priced coal and sell fish at old prices.
 In Manchester it was pointed out that the smaller industries would be most seriously affected, while lead ing coal operators said they would re- ccivc nothing from the advance.
 The public generally also took alarm. when it was pointed out that with coal at the new price it would have to consent to increase in gas prices that would make up a deficien- cy every year of some s36,O0O.0Oo.
 The steel trade took immediate ten per cent; drain pipe, s1.5O per ton.

VACANT RENTS
 WILL NOT GUT COST ID TENANT

Although there are more than 500 vacant tcnements in this city at pres ent real estate men say the chances of a reduction in rents are remote. They think the landlords will install modern conveniences in the cheaper rents and then maintain the present high charges.
 The Bridgeport Housing Co. reports that there are still more than 200 government tenements to be rented and 1t is expected that they will be rented as fast as they are completed. It is said that the reason for the popularity of government tenements Is that persons residing in undesirable sections had been glad to move into government houses. which are modern and have heat furnished at a cost slightly above the rent charge.
