F'lounces are the newest fashion,
They ripple up and down and around
all the newest frocks In the most en-
chanting manner as you can see by
the clever models sketched In all
of these styles the flounces are cir
cular and the home sewer is likely to
find II difficult to set them on the
dress or skirt unless she has special
instructions.
Two of the dresses above have a
circular f1ounce which also forms the
side Grapes. The center one merely
uses it around the bottom of the
skirt. All of these fiounces may be
set on in this manner.
For thin cotton materials, silks and
soft satins. fine covered cord makes
a dainty heading. Use soft cable
cord, which comes in various sizes in
black and white. For the heading
of a founce on a dress fine cord is
best.
Sometimes both black or white
cord show through the casing of the
material, in which case dye the cord
to the color of the dress before 1t is
used.
Cut a true bias strip of dress ma
terial to cover the cord and sew the
cord into the fold of the bias with
fine running stitch, as shown in
Figure /. Next sew the cord to the
top seam line of the flounce, the cord
turned down against the right side of
the flounce. Figure 2.

SURPRISING THE WRONG PARTY

SURPRISING THE WRONG PARTY
Cuffy Bear was almost frantic
when he saw that his father was
more than likely to eat up the whole
birthday supper before any of the
guests arrived. His mother had told
him not to let anybody touch the
food until she returned. But his
father had paid no heed to his warn
ing.
Then there was another reason why
Cuffy was worried. He had fully
expected to enjoy some of the goodies
himself. Now he plainly saw that
his father intended to eat everything.
Desperately Cuffy jumped for the
pig, which Mrs, Bear had brought
Rome the night before. He couldn't
bear the thought of not having a
taste of 1t.
