IN NEW DISGUISE

Only a sharp eye would detect in the very dashing blue wool jersey of French blue, shown in the accompanying sketch, the lurking mother hubbard of two decades agone. But it is even more simple, for there is not a yoke. The jersey cloth, which is very

wide, is plain press plaited from shoulder to ankle. The neck is cut squared across and a band of pearl gray wool chainstitch embroidery is laid across the shoulders behind to hold the plaits in place. In front is a very broad, straight band hemmed on each tjide and em-

broidered prettily in a scroll triangle, says the Kansas City Star. This band barely reaches to the arm pits, where it is attached to the dress with a stitching. At the waistline two long sashes are attached and these slip through triangles of embroidery fastened -to the dress behind, cross and are left to hang loosely in front. There is a border of chain stitching round the hem which does not appear in the picture.

Mother Hubbard Up-to-Date.
