suit Of their study and skill, produce
clothes that fit the stout woman per-
fectly, giving to her the same smart
style that the slender woman acquires
in ready to wear apparel.
OF interest at the moment are very
attractive dresses for the stout woman,
r developed in novelty cotton materials,
effective patterns on both dark and
light grounds, with motifs in contrast =
ing color; as for instance, dark blue
ground with white motifs, q white

In an effort to clothe themselves and
their families at less cost than ready
to-wear demands, many women have
gone back to home dressmaking. 1t is
a step in the right direction, but can
you imagine home so lacking in
womanly skill that a sewing basket is
not to be found, growing girl does
not know how to thread a needle or
wear a thimble? Unfortunately, there
are many such in our midst, but if this
condition is corrected by the high cost
Of living the hardship has not been ex-
perienced in vain.
I have fond recollection of my mothers
businesslike sewing room, from which
came forth nearly all the clothing we
five children required, and thankful
ness for the practical education ac-
quired frsm my mother, the knowledge
Of cutting, fitting, sewing and buying.
Twill always believe that the girl who
cannot sew is handicapped, and that
the family who buys all they wear
ready made are lacking in economy.
But / must qualify this by saying
that this economy of home production
is not without exceptions. About the
first exception is ip clothes for the
woman of generous proportions.
The average nome dressmaker and
the professional seamstress as well
know little or nothing of the scien-
tisc measurements and the figure re-
ouirements of the stout woman. They
do not know how to fit and drape and
trim the stout woman's clothes SO as
to modify her proportions and give her
the same degree Of style as other
women.
If you are stout or have a stout
mother, sister, daughter, cousin, aunt,
grandmother or friend, you viii prob
ably agree with me, and IL you are in
need of some midssmner dresses, cool.

their aid by producing gar

acts upon an entirely different prin-
ciple. While perfectly harmless, it has
the peculiar property of removing by
absorption the dead and half-dead par
ticles of scarf-skin, as we'll as I'M

takes away from instead of adding to
the complexion, differing in this re-
spect from cosmetics. The result is q

cold cream and washed off in the
morning.
The correct principle in the treat
