Urges Ingenuity in Utilizing Odd Material For Costumes

Ora Cne, New York Designer, Recommends that Every

Woman Learn To Be Handy wiib &toSt. Mentions

of Increasing Ti,eir Attractiveness.

Ways

The post-war waves of depression! and hard times with which Europe has been menaced for many months are sweeping through the United States with all indications pointing to their continuance for at least two years more, until taxes and prices are readjusted and the markets of the world can once more receive the sur plus produce of this country. The unsettled condition of the country is maHing it imminent that an in creasing number of women "requisition and use every article that can be

obtained at reasonable prices and constructed to either follow or improve the prevailing mode." OraCne, New York designer of women's costumes, who is visiting here, stated. "Too many women," the designer commented, "buy any clothes that happen to strike their fancy, without stopping to consider whether they are becoming or suit their personality. A woman," he continued, "should seek to express her personality through her selection of clothes. Many women are inconsiderate of their husbands in the large amounts they expend on costuming themselves when by requisitioning some of their innate ingenuity and a little imagination they could gown themselves modishly and tastefully with less extravagance. Should Learn Sewing. "Too often is the remark heard: 'I can't sew a stitch.' Every boy an.l

pirl should know how to sew should at least know the stitches and rudiments. Sewing," the designer stated, "should be included in the curriculum of compulsory education. The law compels one to be properly clothed. It also should compel them to learn simple sewing accomplishments. Every woman should be able

to show her ingenuity with the needle I

and inventive ability in costuming. Speaking of the opportunities to learn sewing, crocheting, embroidering, and such accomplishments Mr. Cne pointed out the fact that such learning had been made accessible to everybody by the free courses in sewing and millinery offered by vocational schools and the numerous corre

spondence schools in the country which afford a chance for those not located near vocational schools. Mr. ,

Cne mentioned the dress forms, such as many women have been making here in vocational classes, as an invaluable aid to the woman wishing to increase her ability in sewing. Distinctive Touches. 'Skilled designers and cutters devote their time to creating new models and the patterns for them at small prices are available to everyone," Mr.

Cne said. The distinctive touches in costumes, he said, can be obtained by j

simple and clever decorations which nny woman is capable of doing. A t mch of flowers, some applique work, embroidery or beading, added to a gown will often increase its chicness.

Intelligence in adding these touches

comes from observation and practice.' Mr. Cne, with his four-year-old daughter, Flo Rose, who acts as his mannikin and model, is giving demon

strations of dress building and showing how seemingly useless articles which persons have tucked away may

be converted into something of service to them. His daughter has a litttle traveline dress made from a Gren

adine mourning veil of which there are an infinite number in the country, he says. He builds dresses on his model in three minutes. Late in the fall Mr. Cne and Flo Rose are to give

several demonstrations m this city. The little girl can model gowns and hats herself and will demonstrate this fall at the Fashion Art Institute in Chicago and also in Boston, Mass.

I GROW MORE POPULAR j y grew happier and happier as thej days went on. I planned a little routine, and followed it every day as though it were a gay adventure. I suppose people will smile when they hear what the "adventure" was. I know my family would have smiled unless they would have been furiously angry at the idea of a Bennett one of The Bennetts doing housework. I had my breakfast in bed Parker insisted on that. But then I made up the bed myself, swept and dusted my room and the living room downstairs, and went out and worked an hour in the tiny garden I had insisted on planting. For this work I wore one of the big, short sleeved cretonne aprons I

had purchased. Then Parker insisted

i helped cook luncheon, and after it, II had my bath and dressed and went j outdoors to lie in the shade and read or work.

Usually I worked. Mrs. Taylor often came around and showed me how to do plain sewing and to darn and mend. "And I'll teach you to knit too," she promised to my delight.

Towards the end of the day. the villase woke to life. Up to 4 o'clock

housework, gardens or office work

kept most of the people busy. Four o'clock was the lull in the day. That was "my hour" as Winthrop called it For I began serving tea then hot or iced, as my guests liked it, and cakes that I baked myself in the morning. Parker brought out a tray and placed it on a wicker table that we kept on the lawn. This was drawn up to my big hammock, where I could lean back in the corner with all

yet be able to reach all the tea things, i Mrs. Taylor was often there, Margery and Ella came often. There were two girls that I liked most of those I met. They were cousins, one was married, the other engaged. "I shall miss sitting here and playing lady when you go, Connie," Ella said once as we Idled over the tea.

'Ill miss the gossip, I hear such

a lot of it here," Margery announced,

neiping herself to ' another muffin

"Say. Con, have you met Ben Marlowe

and his wife yet? They're the swells

or the village " "Don't say 'swells,'" Ella reproved

"and don't call her 'Con.' I know she doesn't like it, only she's too sweet

to say so.

"I wouldn't call her Con if I didn't like her. I always give my best

friends nicknames."

"Oh, but I like it," I protested,

airaia or an argument.

"Margery is so frank." Ella began.

i nis was a favorite complaint of hers

"She always tells everyone just what

she thinks. I wish you would take alone I want to scream. So I have

a lesson In manners from " "From Con! You might take a lesson from her yourself!" "But I'm the one taking lessons!" I put in. "Look here, I'm making & dress. Parker is showing me how to Join the seams with fagoting." This diverted the talk for a moment. The dress was carefully examined, and some other people came in for tea. "It's nice batiste," Ella remarked. "You didn't get it here." "No, that stuff is a dollar a yard;

I got some with that silky finish when I was in New York " one woman

said. "This was an old dress ripped up and made over," I hasened to explain. An idea came to me then. If I pretended to, make over my old clothes, surely they would not think me an heiress! But Margery was examining the dress. "You do nice work," she said. "I wish I had the patience to sew. I'm so nervous, when I sit down to work

to jump up and do housework, or go out and see somebody. "Come here and sew when I do," 1 suggested. "We'll work together. Then you can talk to me and you wont get nervous." "I'll come after lunch tomorrow," she said. The sewing party grew. Several of the young girls living near me developed the habit of coming over with their work about 2 o'clock, and from 2 until 4 we all sewed, out under

the trees. At 4 I served tea and for

almost an hour we talked. Mrs. Tay

lor came often to these "afternoon

parties" as she called them. "You like the girls," she remarked once as we sat alone. "Oh, very much," I answered. "Ella is so sweet, she never says a word against anyone. And Magery is so frank and outspoken " "Yes, that's her great fault. Margery has no tact. Of course her husband is dsaigreeable " "Poor girl!" I said. "But I like

frankness. I know how I stand with her. If she didn't like me, she'd tell me as soon as she would tell anyone else." "Sooner," Mrs. Taylor laughed. "Well, so much the better. She's so wholesome after the girls I have known." "She likes you a great deal. They all do and those that don't - know you want to meet you " - - .- "Oh, let's have a party and ask them all!" Mrs. Taylor laughed, but the suggestion was taken up by Ella, and next week she gave a reception for me, and I was introduced to nearly everyone in Wellsville. I was very happy then.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am the mother of three married children, two daughters and one son. My husband has been dead for seven years. Since his death I have made my home with

my children, changing about so that!

no one would get weary of having me around. ! It may sound strange but I am hap- , pier with my son's wife than with either of my daughters. My son's wife is very sweet and she loves her husband so much that she includes anything that is his in her love. I have a special room in their home and I am made to feel that at any time I am welcome and wanted. One of my daughters is not happily married, and when I am with her I can see that I am only making it harder for her. Her husband does

not like me and he is very irritable!

all the time that I am making my visit. It is my other daughter who i3 my problem. I am sure that she loves me and when I am away from her she thinks she must have me with her. But when I get there she is very unkind in the way she treats me. She corrects my grammar and my table ' manners and she doesn't like my clothes, and by the time I have been with her a month I feel absolutely wretched. My son and his wife are going away for three months. He is sent away on business and he is taking his little family with him. I can stay at their home and be perfectly contented, but my daughter with whom I cannot get

aiong 13 very anxious io nave me wun ; a

her. She has had one of her rooms papered just so that it will be prettier for me. j I do not want to hurt that daugh-j ter's feelings, but I would be much happier in my home, or rather in the i home of my son and his wife, which

seems to me the place I want to call home too. What would you advise me to do? CLOUD. Stay in the home of your son and

your wife, where you will be happy, j

It is foolish to be so afraid that you will hurt your daughter's feelings, when she shows such little consideration of your feelings. It would do her good to know the truth and might make a sweeter woman of her. Probably when she gets older she will fall into many of the little habits for which she criticizes you now.
