nevertheless, contrlves to be very
dainty. The manufacturer who turned
out the two envelope chemises shown
here will not dread a comparison be-
tween them and their handmade coun-
terparts. They are just as effective and
just as durable. 1t is in little details Of
finish that the handmade garment gets
beyond the limitations Of machinery
and cannot be exactly copied. The
chemise at the left is of white silk with
a crossbar of green. There is a yoke
of plain silk, also a border about the
bottom and bands over the shoulders
made of it. Bows of narrow ribbon
with their hanging ends finished with
soft silk balls make fascinating and
original finishing touches.
The lovely garment at the right is
made of pale blue satin with heavy
silk embroidery and real tillet lace to
enrich it. The empire waistline makes
it graceful. This is gathered in with
satin ribbon tied in a bow with long
loops and ends. The same models are
not less beautiful or less elegant when
made of fine cotton fabrics.

AS mothers become busler, or less in
clined to spend time in sewing, in or
der to give it to other affairs, they
have learned to look to the specialist
to help them out with frocks and other
clothes for children. And manufac-
turers have met the growing demand
for ready-made or partly-made clothes,
by turning out examples of good de-
signing. in practical materials, that
the most gifted amateur cannot hope
to excel. Even those mothers who
prefer to have the children's clothes
made at home, look to the display of
children's frocks made in the shops for
models TO guide them. Wraps they
nearly always buy ready made.
Since the school girl must be out
fitted by the time September appears
over times horizon, dresses and wraps
for her make their entry in July.
These ~fOrerunnerS of fall styles this
year show that the neat effects
that were featured in spring have
come to stay a while, all because they
were so heartily welcomed. They

Moral Issues.

In all that tends TO obscure and con-
fuse, men are beginning to see moral
issues more clearly; that all issues
are moral. Every commercial and in
dustrial question is moral. Huge
gains no longer blind us TO the meth
DDS by which they were made. The
philanthropy of the giver no longer
sanctiies the rapacity of the gamer.
In all the whirl and confusion. the
dust and the uncertainty of the hour,
the eclipse is passing from the ten
commandments and the golden rule.

In certain lines of women's apparel
America has become independent of
other countries in the production of
styles and materials. In some things
we are conceded to excel, rs in the
designing and making Of tailored
suits and shoes. We have been driven
to depend upon ourselves in produc-
ing the bulk of the readymade under
wear worn by women whose demands
are peculiarly American.
The proportion of undergarments
made of washable silks grows larger,
and crepe de chine gains on fine cot
ton materials every day. There are
several very good reasons for this,
but the main one is the Unborn love
of luxurious clothes, especially in
the matter of undergarments, which is
rooted in the eternal feminine nature.
Hand stitching is the hallmark of
elegance on undermuslins, so that
women who know how to sew for them
selves have q great advantage over
those who do not. But there is not
much hand sewing or hand embroidery
on manufactured underwear, which,
