An inner staybelt is used to make
the joining of skirt and waist trim
and practical. It's an easy thing to
do-putting the two parts of a dress
together, but it must be carefully
done since much of the hanging and
fitting of a dress depends on it.
First the edges of the staybelt
should be stitched as in the illustra-
ton. This is for irmness. Then the
lower edge of the waist is gathered
and basted to the belt-wrong sides
together. Then the upper edge of
the skirt is turned under, the skirt is
shirred and then basted on the stay
belt over the raw edges of the waist
shirrings. In this way both outside

finished.

NEW YORK-Are your exercises
helping you?
Perhaps you have large hips and
are making them still larger with
the exercises you are doing. Or you
may be inclined to lankiness and
quite inadvertently indulging in ex-
ercises that will reduce you even
further to the proportions Of a soda
slipper.
Almost every person needs her
own individual set of exercises, says
Miss Jane Bellows. director of physi-
cal education for the National Board
of the Y. W. C. A.
Exercises should be selected with
as much thought as n spends in
picking out a new hat or dress More,
in fact, for an inappropriate bit of
clothing is only a temporary annoy
ance, while the wrong kind of set
ting-ups may cause one permanent
physical harm.
The individuals occupation, her
posture, weight, muscle tone and
condition of health must all be taken
into consideration, declares Miss Bel
lows in her book. individual Exer-
cises," Just published by the Wom-
ans Press of the Y. w. G. A. In
this book more than 100 different
eight counties to make hats. From
these leaders in the various parts
of the state probably five Or six hun
dred girls will have learned how to
make hats for their own use.
There is at present some eighty
clothing clubs in the state, according
10 the report in the agricultural
paper. The leaders are especially
commended for their work for they
do this line of work voluntarily.
Most of the leaders are women with
homes to look after and II is GER
tainly wonderful how they upkeep
their outside work which benefits
them in a large way. All are earnest
their endeavors and receive hard
Iy any community support. Some
times the parents do not give any sup
port while sometimes the expenses
must be borne by the leaders but all
ways they are faithfully on the job
not letting a mere encouragement
stand in their way.
One of the most active counties in
the state IS Monmouth. The Junior
extension clubs there are devoting
their main efforts on canning al
though clothing is given considerable
time. The purpose of this work is
to teach the methods of canning by
actually DOING the work; to teach

sition from the New York office of the
