COME of the very smartest vests or

are no end of possibilities in bright color
combinations if one knows a pretty dc
sign. The ohe shown on the page toda Y
is smart in its simplicity and will lend
itself to many interesting and original
ideas.
The upper pattern can be stamped
just the size it is to serve for the front
of the vest, as seen in figure l. Or the
design can be used as shown in figure
= or yet again turned sidewise to serve
az in figure g.
The long stitches are done in chain
and the solid spots are simply worked
over and over. silk floss Or wool is used
for the .embroidery-in fact the use OF
both makes smart combination. The
most brilliant colors should be used on
the smallest spots or in the single long
stitches. The buttonhole stitch Is used
for the edging in walls of Troy. but IL
the design is applied as in the other fig
uros the vest should be bound with silk
braid
Modish materials for the vest are
SILK jersey, pongee tricotine or linen,
Most of them are not more than nine
inches wide and the vest is held in place
with elastic.
Working out the vest in novel color
combinations Is fascinating For In

serge suit. Tan, with old blue or gold,
Is becoming to the brown suit.
For the one-piece dress that is TO be
made at home the vest solves many
problems. For the whits linen dress done
In varied greens, or reds, 1t Is very
pretty and colorful.
The vest slips on over the head like
IL jumper and the pattern can be easily
cut by trying 1t first with newspaper
or u piece Of muslin.
For the benefit of those not familiar
with stamping designs the directions fol-
low:
Trace the pattern carefully on to the
goods with tracing paper. II tracing
paper is not very transparent, make
tracing against the window pane, Trans
fer paper can be purchased at any good
stationer's--the blue or black for light
colored materials. white for dark ma
terlals. The transfer paper Invariably
Is made with too much carbon compost
tion. which can be removed with a soft
cloth before using. Unless this precau-
tion is taken the line formed in tracing
will be too heavy.
When applying tracing to material II
il necessary that the tracing be held
firmly in position with pins or weights
and that the carbon Iaper be slipped
between material and tracing carbon

A Daily Fashion 1dh by Florence Nose
CAN you imagine what would have
~ been the effect IL "A dressmaker some
ten or fifteen or twenty years ago had

the suggestion that very attractive

IL you by chance are not so young but
that you were ordering frocks at the
dressmaker's in the days of 1909 or
mayhap 1899, can't you just figure what
you would have said had your dress
maker suggested that you should have
your new reception gown made in this
way?
OF course. you would have regarded
the suggestion as absurd you would
have thought the dressmaker had taken
leave of her senses, and of course you
would have regarded the design as a
suggestion from one of those freakish
dress reform organizations that disre-
garded the mode for the sake of hygiene
and comfort. For here are all the things
that the dress refo ormers were ever eager
for-comfortable collarline, sane skirt
length, and a loose waistlne. Well, any

BRALNINESS IN 4 WOMAN y
DOES NOT ATTRACT MEN
Therefore the Clever One Hides Hers il She You'd Fan Win
Man-Be Wooed and Won-Afer Marriage There's
Another Side 70 the Story

THERE is a saying which runs, "Be
l. good and you'll be lonely" which
ought to be twisted around to BE
clever and you'll be lonely" This ap-
plies In particular to young women
not averse TO finding husbands. Men
do not like clever women. or rather
they are not attracted to them IL they
think they are clever.
In the possession of brains, or, TO be
more exact, in letting the world know
he has brains. a man has all the ad
vantage. A woman will sit by the
hour listening to his ideas and his
achievements when she hasn't any
earthly idea what he is talking about
Then size goes upstairs and confides to
any ready feminine ear the fact that
John G. is a wonderful talker."
DUT as for a woman with too much
- brains" frankly a man is bored
with her He will call once or twice,
bring around another man or two to
meet this perfect whizz who can keel
up a brilliant conversation all evening
long; and then somehow his interest
wanes This girl will make splen-
did wife for some one else.
And the next morning with the
memory of the brilliant conversation
still in his mind he hies him to the
| telephone to see IL some wide-eyed
young person with a ruffiy pink dress
would like to go to the movies on
Wednesday night.
Thus ends the reign Of the clever
woman!
In spite of these obstacles, however.
! clever women are marrying every day.
How do, they do It? BY keeping their
brains well under cover. If they have
accomplished things it must seem to
be made to appear they happened by
| the merest accident. a woman's
word may be law in an office a library
or a school, but when she opens the
door for the man she would fain call
her own she must be completely
shorn OF that robe of authority and
garbed in the sweet placid garments
OF one who is led and never leads.
TNlfE clever woman who would ever
l. enter the estate of the normal
young woman must keep in mind that
Tor her the highest form of art is that
| which conceals its art. If she is able
to talk circles around men about the
! Peace Conference, If she knows they
are all mixed up in naming the vari.
Gus major engagements of the recent
war, for the good of any hopes she
may have about romance, let her
keep these sweeping bits of informa
I ton to herself.
