Care Needed In
Cutting. Out

Never attempt to cut out on a
small space. If you have not a cut
ting table, use the kitchen table
Use pins lavishly and haste freely
and carefully. If you insist upor
making Innings instead of buying
them ready made, make several al
a time and have them ready.
Be sure that all bias effects. skirt
breadths, bodices or trimmings are
really bias. and haste through the
center always. cut exactly on a
straight diagonal line from corner
to corner of a square of goods. Lay
a fold down the center of the back
lining and a narrower n from the
shoulders in front. Do not stretch
any part of the material, but have
all Innings a trifie loose.
Match the parts carefully together
and sew them from the bottom up
both skirts and bodices. Never
stretch a curved seam. Make the
shoulder seams as nearly a straight
slant as possible. but with the front
a trile shorter than the back. Their
in sewing stretch the front to fit,
basting with small stitches. This

curve to fit the hollow of the shoul-
der.
If the arm curve in the lining Is
too large or bulges, make a tiny
triangular fold, but the outside ma
terial must be cut to fit, as nothing
can be done TO alter 1t il it is toe
large. If the lining or outside is toe
tight, cut the curve a little.
Putting in sleeves is n of the
most difficult processes in dressmak-
ing. Run a thread around the arm
hole to prevent stretching. Fit the
sleeve into its armside on the figure,
pinning carefully. Remove, basic
then try on again.
No n rule fits all sleeves, but fol
the long, plain variety, cut so that
the portion between the center elbow
and the center shoulder is on the
straight of the goods.
DO not hem or bind selvages. else
they will pucker. Scallop them or
leave plain. Stretch all skirt seams
and sew with a long stitch.
Where possible always put a
gored edge with a straight, but if
two gored edges come together be
careful not to stretch them.

POLI'S-"The Camel's Back. "

British domestic life of the upper
class, despite it's traditional consery-
atism, has provided the skeleton of
deliciously refreshing comedy, THE
Camels Back" the latest product of
the factle pen of Somerset Maugham
which opened last night at Polls
The Camels Back" is truly a mod
ern epic in every detail. even threat
ening at times to tread into the ultra
modern era. An eighteen-y year old
''fapper" who uses damn" and hell
profusely for emphasis. and a grand
mother approaching the octogenarian
period, who steps out not intrequent-
ly with her gentlemen friends" are
two of the characters that are indie
ative of the modernism of the pro-
duction. Maugham also has injected
into his new play sufficient spice to
satisfy those with a hankering for
farces of the Avery Hopwood type
without oyerstepping the convention
al bounds of propriety.
Facetious dialogue, brilliant satire
and humorous philosophy abound in
THE Cameps Back" and the small
but talented cast takes advantage of
it's effectively. There too, is the inevi-
supporting pillar to the base of the
production. Throughout it all the
author has created fun out of mar
riage, free love, psycho-analysis, and
the present day moraliSt.
The story is woven around an Eng
liSh barrister, an ardent advocate of
the decencies of the social structure
to which he is accustomed. The
manner in which he is forced to take
another slant on life Is the essence
of the comedy.
Dissatisfied with her husbands ap-
parent dissatisfaction and stub
bornness, the barrister's wife pretends
to have a. love affair with the fiance
of her niece and subsequently denies
ever having admitted such a situa-
ton. The husband naturally is con-
fronted with dilemma, and in the
called in to convince the barrister
that his mentality is not up to the
standard. Through the three acts
the harrister is constantly jolted
from his conservative ways-frst,
when his ward departs from the path
he has laid out for her; second, when
his mother refuses to leave the asSo-
citation of her friends of a shady repu-
tation, and again when his wife re-
lates her Fabricated story of in
fidelity.

ably the character Of Valentine Le-

per, who with Gavin Muir, an easy

excellent match in the too few love

The crescendo of the humor came
in the final act in a love scene be-
tween the barrister and his cook, the
latter character being portrayed by
Margaret Moffat. Miss Moffat has

SO evenly. balanced is every char

select any particular stars, but if a

should go to Ann Davis, as Lorna

Armand. Each role is hawlessly in

In the Next Room is one of those
rare melodramas with mystery un-

ADJUSTMENTS

nNE OF tho most extraordinary
weeks for legitimate drama that
Washington has ever known was
inaugurated last night. Seldom have
SO many eminent names been grouped
within so short a time limit. Changes
in customary forms of theatrical ex-
preston on the part of eminent ia
vorites make this brief but brilliant
season the more interesting. Otis
Skinner, who for q long time has
been appearing in a rather conven-
tional play, Mr.. Antonio" resumes
the splendors Of fantasy, and in
Sancho Panza rivals his own emil
nent self as he appeared as the
whimsical Hadj in "kismet." Ethel
Barrymore varies her PAGES in an
interesting manner, which may or
may not satisfy her admirers as to
it's precise adaptability to her talents.
