The fishermen. who were prepar-

seemed a distance of about 200 or
800 yards from shore.
The fishermen saw a raft-like OBJ

they ran to the waters edge where
the aviators landed and declared
their identity. The two French
fishermen then took the American
fiers to the house OF NJ. Croiffier

which was about a mile and quar-.

landing was made.

Making Ball Bats

That base ball bat which you are so
proud of required a great deal of
trouble and labor to make. Before it
ever thought Of being a bat, it was
part Of an ash tree and might have
grown In one of twenty different
states.
Finding good, straight-grained ash
to make base ball bats is a problem
nowadays, because ash is also used
for wheel spokes, and there Is q
limited supply. The best ash for max
ing base ball bats is what is called,
second growth white ash" This is
the part Of the tree which grows after
a tree has first been cut down. Second
growth is tougher and straighter
grained than the virgin ash.
Logging the trees to lumber mill
after they are cut is the first thing
which must be done to make your
base ball bats. At the lumber mill
the tree is barked. sawed, and cut
into handy lengths. Buyers from the
great sporting goods manufacturers
inspect this wood at the lumber mills.
buy up lot of 1t, and have 1t sent
to their factories.
The bat is then finished off, the ends
being smoothed up and trimmed.
Next, it is oiled and waxed. Then a
coat of a special sort of shellac is
put on It and set on fire. This gives
the finished product the nice. burnt.
smooth finish.

~ RESSMAKING in an age Of
machinery like our own is
quite a different proposition
- from dressmaking in an age
when every seam was sewn,
every hem was stitched, every thread
was spun, every fabric was woven by
hand.
For good or for i'll machinery has
absolutely revolutionized clothes-mak.
ing industries along with every other
sort Of industry. But the fumes and
smoke of all the mechanically run
clothes-making shops in the world
have not dimmed one whit the still
persistent charm Of fine hand work.
And one reason why France-or that
part of France we call Paris-persists
as the fashion center of the world is
because of her peculiar genius Tor
keeping intact the gift Of hand work.
French dressmakerS and designers
can take advantage of short cuts
made possible by the use of machinery
without overlooking the important role
q dressmaking and millinery or the
Aumand hand.
The American woman selects
handmade frock or a frock showing
generous use of hand embroidery,
tucking, shirring, faggoting, because
she really admires hand work or be.
cause she feels that hand work gives
her frock a stamp of superior quail
ity and distinction. She has no con.
science or compunction in the matter.
But the French womans attitude
toward handmade frocks and hand
trimming of all sorts is of a more COM
plicated sort. She admires hand work
OF itself and Is usually a very good
Judge of it; she knows that hand work
gives her clothes an air of distinction,
but deeper than these sentiments
there is the inbred feeling that to
make, use of hand work is something
she really ought to do. BY her mother

Martial ct Armand of Paris. have

Martial ct Armand of Paris. have
made use this Spring and Summer of
shaded colored embroidery on crepe
de chine-suggestive of the shaded
fiat embroidery done in China. Beer
makes use Of openwork hand en-
broidery on light-toned crepe de
chine, which Is sometimes posed over
black to bring out the detail OF the
embroidered design.
The device OF re-embroidery is seen
on some of the new afternoon and
evening gowns of lace--a trick that
gives the distinctive touch to ma
chine made lace, such as Nottingham
and Chantilly. The woman who
wishes to give a touch of hand work
to her own clothes may easily do this
re.embroidery, since the embroidered
stitches of metal or colored silk
thread or the applied heads or other
ornaments have but to follow some
selected motive of the lace pattern.
Hemstitching was never more in
favor as an ornament for simple day
time frocks than at the present time.
Crepe de chine and other silk crepes
as well as the light wooden crepes are
frequently ornamented in this way--a
design being achieved by lines of the
fine hemstitching and simple sorts of
drawnwork. The work is sometimes
done in a shade a trifie darker than
the pastel shade of the crepe. Hem
stitching and faggoting are used as
the sole trimming of many of the
white silk blouses worn with the two
piece tailored suits or with separate
pleated skirts and knitted cardigans.
There are thousands and thousands
of yards of fine tucking on the charm
ing frocks of light-colored chiffon

the air Of distinction that it is sure
to give.
Certain dressmakers in Paris--more
than others--uphold the Importance OF
hand work and bring out each season
new and interesting ways of making
use of all the time-honored forms of
hand establishment. Thee house of
Callot is noted for its employment Of
exquisite embroideries. Cyber. who
makes clothes for Mile. Mistinguett
and a number Of American actresses
as we'll, can be counted on each sea-
son to evolve some novel bit Of hand
trimming.
Some striking evening frocks from
this house, recently shown, are made
with simple, unbelted, straight or
slightly flared ilhouette-practically
the sleeveless chemise or sheath frock
that has been with MS for so many
seasons. Distinction and really new
note are gained by means of all-over
embroidery of fine pearls, of strass,
or of metal thread. One of these is
sheath of mauve.colored georgette
with a deep V neck built up some
what by ''modesty piece" Of flesh
colored georgette. The entire nile
green georgette sheath is embroidered
with fine gold threads in a curious
swirling design. A sheath OF mauve
georgette is finely embroidered in sill
yer threads and silver heads and a
salmon-colored crepe Is embroidered
with strass beads.
Madame Yteb, who was once maid
of honor to the Empress of Russia
has done much to popularize various
sorts of Russian embroidery and hand
work. Chanel has also made ex-
duisite use of Russian embroidery
since the war.
