The Full Skirt
With Tight Bodice
BY ANNE RlTTENHoUsE.

What ID to Be done about these
full skirts is beyond the vision Of
reporter. The public is fighting
over q solution Of the problem. Some
women fancy the wide distended
period skirt Others insist they will
have nothing to do with the fashion.
The French designers sit back and
smile. They believe that tho world
will discard the short narrow skirt
even If it does not take up with these
pictorial affairs that are borrowed
The house Of Callot has given its
impress to skirts that stand out two
feet from tho hips. And other dress
makers have persuaded their patrons
ito try q little bit Of fullness TO
see how it goes" And the whole

the full skirt Is launched. by its disci-

yet it is only worn by the minority
To the majority it still appears like

Look at the sketch OF today. Would
any one think that this was q

full skirt is of yellow tulie. that
Spanish citron yellow. and the rosettes
which trim it are Of brown taffeta
with long streamers: above it comes
tight little bask of taffeta with one
Of the conspicuous rosettes on the
right shoulder. There is a fragility
in tulle that gives an evanescent
quality to a skirt Of this width. Yet
the dressmakers do not hesitate to
copy it in onion skin taffeta. making
the rosettes Of brown lace with rib

There is no hesitancy anywhere in

WaY to Mend Mating

Sometimes when moving a piece OF
furniture. especially IL it il heavy.
the mating will receive an ugly tear.
To mend this. simply darn the mat
ting with raffia in colors to CORE
spond. This can be very neatly done
and it is much better than to patch
it or to mend it with thread. Some
times it will be found necessary to
run heavy cord across the patch
through which to pass the rama. With
a large darning needle the cord can
be sewed in place and fastened Sc
curely. On the edge Of the mating
worn and frayed places are often
found and these also can be neatly
mended with raffia.

of the cloth, dark-colored linen tape
may be used in the same way.
When making drawers for a little
girl. use three thicknesses for the
belt and work strong buttonholeS
well above the seam. 1t can then
be ripped off when the garment is
worn out and used again, thus saw
ing the working of more buttonholes.
Sew an extra row of buttons above
the first row on underwaists. They
will be very handy to use when d
child grows and the length of a skirt
need for very stout buttons on chill
drens clothes. place cotton tape
back of the buttons before you begin
to sew. and place a pin between the
button and the material Now sew
the button firmly. Remove the pin
and wind the thread round and round
the button on the right side and 70
will have button so firm that it
will never come of. 't
Pretty lace caps for babies are
easily made by using white lace all
over and drawing in the fullness at
,, the back with ribbon run through a
tiny hem. The edges of the bonnet
are trimmed with lace ruff1es and the
long strings are made of fine inser-
tion about three inches wide. Some
pretty caps are made from scraps ot
lace and embroidery of all kinds anG
shapes. sometimes with three or four
different kinds in one cap. edged with
narrow ruffles of lace and finished
with a pompon Of lace or ribbon.
A very pretty quilt for a child S
bed is made of 12-inch squares OF soft
white muslin. Each block Is white
material, with a design in the center
showing Little Miss Muffet. Old King
Cole. Red Riding Hood and other lit
tie nursery friends. The outlines OF
the figures are stitched with red
floss This makes very attractive
quilt. 1t is bound around the edge
wide.
A dainty carriage robe is made OF
fine dotted Swiss made over a pink
foundation and lined with q thin
sheet of cotton wadding. The robe
may be ruff1ed with Swiss. edged with
lace or finished around the edge with
small pink and white silk cord. II
is a good plan when making a car
riage robe to put pocket on the
under side in which to place small
articles.
A pillow for baby's carriage is
made with wide insertion and ribbon
the same width. 1t is tied bolster
style at both ends, the frilled portion
being finished with narrow lace and
ribbons.
The pad for the baby carriage may
! be made of white linen. very plain
with border of inertion sewed
about three inches from the edge
! This is run through with ribbon
making a fiat border to the pad wher
completed. Finish one end with but
