matter of necessity with a
great many women. Now
~ even those getting along on
what we politely call a strict
" limited income" almost always have
q choice in the matter. Readynade
clothes are undeniably inexpensive.
And for the housewife there is often
greater economy in spending time and
strength in doing without a maid and
other household helpers than in max
ing clothes. 1t is only the exceptional
woman who can be chief cook and bot.
tie washer and seamstress and dress
maker as well. And with maids as
high priced and as scarce as they are
today, she usually selects bottle wash
ing in place of dressmaking.
Still, there Is possible choice in the
matter. You may find that in the do
ing of some of your own dressmakinS
you save enough to pay for certain
amount Of help In your homework.
With some women the element of
economy hasn't great deal to do with
clothes and they like to wear the
clothes they make themselves.
This has all raised the status of the
homemade dress. Any one can afford
readymade things of sort-home-
made clothes no longer carry with
them the stamp of real poverty that
they once did. Moreover, there never
was time when the touch of hand
work and individual care was more to
be desired than It is at present-and
this, of course. you cannot get in the
very inexpensive readymade clothes.
Half your battle of home dressmak-
ing is fought before you put on your
thinble or take up your scissors. You
are well on the way to victory once
you have wisely chosen your model.
One Of the best preliminaries to the
whole business is to keep your eyes
open wherever smartly dressed women
or good1ooking clothes are to be seen
I'm the show windows and show
cases, at the play or at the numerous
fashion shows. Study these pretty

on cheap muslin and then to fit this
and make adjustments as needed.
But this, of course, adds to the ex.
pense and the amount OF time needed
in making the dress. Unless your
figure departs radically from the
standard used in the pattern this pre-
liminary is hardly necessary. Rather
than add thus to the cost and work
of making your frock in this way, get
some one more expert than you to
help you with the cutting and fitting.
A word or two about choosing your
paper pattern. Always note well the
arrangement of fullness of the skirt.
Many models at present follow the
smart fashion of extreme scantness,
especially at the back of the skirt.
But this excessive scantness is not
necessary to a smart costume, and I'M
less you are slenderly proportional
you will never look or feel right in
a frock cut on this Standardized sill
houette. There is really no possible
way of altering such a skirt to suit
the more rotund figure. Tonattempt
to do so is to ruin the entire contour
of the frock.
Next study the neckline, for this Is
stumbling block to many an anna
teur dressmaker. The severely plain
neckline may be given an attractive
and workmanly finish if it Is machine
picot-edged. Sometimes you can finish
plain neckline with row of small
nailheads or beads to cover the little
hem or fold of material. There are
certain sorts of collar effects that can
be achieved by the amateur, others
that cannot. The surplice closing with
a long roll collar-so popular some
years ago and still occasionally to be
seen-needs more skill in cutting, fin
ishing and pressing than most of us
possess. But remember that the neck
line is the detail of frock that is
most frequently observed, and that
calls for the most precise sort of treat
ment.
1t is always little discouraging to
the inexpert dressmaker to hear

that line all the roads now? Well,
there isn't a single one within miles
or town on the road to Barley. Now,
why can't we use our rs cents to
buy some buns and wieners and
maybe some lemons. We can cook
the dogs ourselves. get some mustard
at home and make lot of sand

the lemonade. Then we can set up a
little stand a couple of miles out of
town, sell the sandwiches at a dime
leach and the lemonade at cents
a glass and there you are"
Bob brought his fist down on the
box that served as a desk. "Golly,
fellows" he cried, that sounds like
a great bunch to mel"
How will we get the stuff out to
the stand and who's going to make
the stand?" inquired Porky.
Bob withered him with a look.
That's fine question to ask a club
that's planning a big hike" he
scoffed. If You pull any more dumb
ones like that I'll make you carry
the stuff all out yourself. We've got
our bikes and we can do it easily.
How many of you are in favor of
Bills plan?"
Perky joined with the others in
enthusiastic approval, thereby almost
repeating his fall to the floor.
| "Good!" said Bob. "All right, now
let's get, busy. Bill, you and Red
gather together some boards and
some nails, and get stuff ready to
make the stand. Paint up some sort
of sign to put on it, too. Perky and
will take the money and see how
much stuff we can buy with it.
Mother will give me the mustard
and the sugar, 1 know. We can be
out there and start our stand before
noon and with what we make this
afternoon we can buy more stuff for
| tomorrow"
Less than two hours later the
sandwiches were made, the lemons
were squeezed and mixed with
the sugar and the materials for the
stand were strapped to two of the
bicycles. The four boys were ready
to start out the road to Barley.
This was good idea about the
lemonade, Bill" complimented Bob.
I'VE can add water when we get out
| there, and it's a whole lot easier
to carry it this way. Now is every
thing all ready? We still have Is
cents left as change for our first
customers. All right-let's co."
"Hey--wait a minute" interrupted
Porky. do you realize that it's
almost time for food? You're not
going out there without eating, are
you?"
1--WE sure are" replied Bob. "We're |
going to get started right away. You
can stay here If you want to-the |
rest of us will have one of the sand |
witches and a drink of lemonade for |

The other boys mounted their bikes, |

COLUMBUS LETTER
(By Chas. w. Rife)

/ tBy CnaS. w. Rlfe)
| 1t was an interesting fact which
developed during the legislative
hearings on the proposed new gaso-
line tax of three cents per gallon.
that the only interests which ap-
peared in favor of the 100 per cent
increase were those of the utilities
and railroad corporations. Not an
other argument in favor of the pro-
/ posed increase was made before
members of the committee. This
significant fact that only unselfish
motives are asking for this added
burden on more than million au-
tomobile owners of Ohio is worthy
of. the attention of every tax pay
er in the state. Goodness knows
the utilities have Jared well enough
at the hands of the present legisla-
tive without them attempting to
shoulder upon the auto owners the
burden of state government cost.
; But increased taxation 10 the auto
owner means many machines will be
stored for it will be cheaper to ride
in buses, traction cars and the reg
ular trains than by the operation of
their own cars. Ample publicity
was given to the hearings of thu
Legislative committees on the pro-
posed gasoline increase, and while
representatives of the people and
auto clubs appeared opposing the
measure, only the railroad and util-
tiles favored such bill at the pres
ent time.
If reports are true Congressman
j. T. Begg will be candidate for
another term in Washington rather
than for governor of the state next
year. For a time it was evident
that Begg would be candidate for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor next year. Recently he has
been coming in touch with the rural
folks who haven't responded with
the enthusiasm that he would like
to see. This is because of his stand
on the farm relief bill which most
rural residents of the state thought
was a good thing for them, and
would help them in their hour of
need. Begg was a bit worried when
the farm federation changed it's at
titude, and wired President Coolidge
to the effect that the bill should be
given trial Previous to this he
was of the opinion that Ohio farm
ers were solidly against the BILL
Begg is finding out from the farm
