A New Waist Protector.

I have made a new kind of protector to wear over delicate silk and lingerie waists under a coat. The prettiest is made of white China silk, that can be washed, although any light color may be used. A piece of silk about twenty-four inches wide and tfvo yards long Is selected, and beginning at the endß, the edges are Beamed together for a depth of twelve inches, to form the sleeves. Then the ends are prettily shirred and narrow white elastic run in so that they will fit closely about the wrist. When the arms are slipped into these odd sleeves the width of the silk protects the back of the waist, and there is fullness of material enough, so that it may be draped over the bust afid securely fastened by fancy pins. The whole waist is thus perfectly protected by this simple little garment.—Harper’B Bazar.
