For Stout Figure
ARE THE BUTTONS ON TIGHT?
Much Time Lost and MiIady Is Vexed
Because of CareIessness of
Manufacturers.

You know the little verse about the
battle that was lost because of a train
of circumstances that had rise in the
fact that a certain horseshoe nail was
loose, and you might revise that little
verse quite within the bounds of the
possible to tell Of other battles that
have been lost because of the looseness
of buttons or fasteners at critical mo-
ments.
Now, really, isn't it a vexation to
buy an expensive frock or suit only to
have a button come off on the first
occasion Of wearing it? Perhaps the
button is lost, and as there are no
others like it in the workrooms of the
shop where you bought the suit, you
have to get along the best you can
with one button missing or get an en-
tirely new set of buttons that perhaps
are not half so suitable or attractive.
An important fastener on your
frock becomes loosened the second
time you wear it and the third time it
comes off altogether. Then you are
not quite sure where the ORIGINAL fas-
tener went and by the siis..zs the frock
has sagged or pulled down in that par
ticular place and when you do cor1e to
put the missing fastener on again you
are never able to restore the original
trimnesS of the frock.
In the shops where ready-made suits
are sold great deal of time has to be
taken in readjusting buttons and hooks
and eyes, and when the clothes have
been in stock any length of time it is
sometimes necessary to sell them
cheaper because of missing buttons
and fasteners or to go to the expense
of putting on an entirely new set of
buttons.
AS a result of this a nationwide
campaign has been started on the part
of retail men to see that manufac-
turers spend more time and thought on
this really important matter of the
loose fastener.

WHITE WINTER is FORECAST
Palm Beach Likely to See Preponder-
ance of Snowy Attire; May Be
Summer Fashion.

White has been continually enpha-
sized from the French summer re-
sorts. The vogue for white frocks
commenced with the models shown
at the races, and has been so much
reiterated from the fashionable villes
d'eaux, at Deauville, at Vichy, and AK
les Bains, that the question is asked
If this does not augur a white sea-
son for Palm Beach this winter and
also perhaps a white season for us
next summer.
The French fashion magazines
speak of the "Uniforme Blanc" COM
menting that many of the young
girls in their white taffetas or white
mousselines seemed to be so similarly
attired, many of them with the seal
loped flounces, that it had almost the
effect of a uniform.
White satin combined with the
many laces which have returned to
fashion is also emphasized. The tire
mendous opportunities for dainty
treatment in the sheer white fabrics
combined with lace gives opportunity
for the designer which it is quite Ger.

America.

embroidery and with tunic and sleeves
faced with tan-colored satin. The
tunic is long at sides and back and
the waistline Is merely indicated by
the loosely draped girdle of self fab
ric. In developing garments for the
stout figure the important thing to be
considered is avoidance of a too-pro-
nounced waistline. Extremely fitted
effects are never good, and success in
designing clothes for the stout figure
has been arrived at by a recognition
Of this fact.
The frock sketched requires mere
ly fur neckpiece and smart hat to
complete modish street outfit for the
autumn days.
The style range in furs is quite as
elastic as in other items of apparel.
While large animal and shaped scarfs
and clever little coates and dolmans
are good, the small neckpieces brought
out in the spring have not lost caste.
Sable, mink and marten collars of one,
two or three skins are decidedly chic
and for fall and early winter will be
much worn.

BLACK JET AGAIN POPULAR
Used in Ali Sorts of Ways on Evening
Gowns of Black charmeuse
and Net.

Black Jet in paillettes, embroidery,
cords and tassels is being profusely
used with charming results on evening
gowns of black charmeuse and net.
Broad bands of black jet are set at in
tervals on black net tunicS.
Overblouses and boleros of jet are
usually made over a foundation of
black charmeuse, though flesh color
chiffon and white georgette crepe are
also employed as foundations.
An effective net and charmeuse
model which shows the long-bloused
bodice so popular at present, is made
with a deep U-shaped jumper blouse
of net outlined with heavy jet beads.
The underbodice consists of three
lines of color. First fold of flesh
colored chiffon, next to broad band of
black satin and then a band of vivid
green blue chiffon.
Over the narrow skirt Of black
charmeuse falls two panels of net, out
lined with jet beads. Three bands of
jet varying in width trim the panel.

How to Make Handbag at Home

handbags, so you would probably do
well if you chose tasseled finish for
the bottom of your bag. Chenille tas-
sells are used on velvet bags very
often. If you make bag of brocaded
silk use a dull gilt or silver tassel.
Then there are beautiful beaded tas-
sells that go well on silk of any sort.
Beaded bags are still in vogue, so if
you want to put lots of work on your
new bag. make one of that kind. 1t
will take a long time to make the
right sort of bag, but if you work care
fully and intelligently you can for
a few dollars make a bag which, dupli-
Gated in the shops, would cost $40
or $50.

Famous Parasol,

It was not until the 18th century
that the parasol became distinctly an
article of feminine costume. Large and
elaborate parasols have from time
immemoriaI been a mark of honor and
official dignity in the Orient. In India,
in 1877, when the then Prince of Wales
made his famous tour, he was CON-
PEELED, that he might properly impress
the natives, to ride upon an elephant
and have over his head a parasOl with
a frame of gold, and with a covering
stitched with precious jewels.

Social Justice.

We may build charity institutions to
take care of the poor, the widow, the
orphan and the sick. But if we stop
short of justice we shall offer a sacri-
flee which God will reject. A man
may by legal business processes scalp
his weaker business rivals, and with
the money he may endow institutions
of various kinds. But the sacrificing
of his plunder cannot atone for his
lack of elemental justice. 1t is more
necessary that he shall have more JUS
tice and less money to give away.

Accordion PIeating Treatment of
Silk and Wool Effective.
Important Feature to Be Avoided is
a WaistIine Too Pronounced or

Accordion pleating is used more this
season than at any time in recent
years. This treatment is given to silk
and wool materials of all kinds, and
unquestionably it is very effective.
Unfortunately, accordion pleating is
not especially serviceable for an en-
tire skirt, but when front and sides
only are pleated, or when, as in the
dress shown in the sketch, long tunic
protects the pleating at the back Of the
skirt, it is very satisfactory.
