HOW TO CUT STYLISH SKIRTS AND WAIST&
Economy ID the 17M of Goods—Directions FOP Catting the Seven Gored Skirt—Instructions For Catting Loose Blouses and Tight Basques.
[Special Correspondence.]
NEW YORK,
Oct. 11.—Each succeed
ing season brings forth new ideas in dressmaking as well as in materials. While the changes of this peasou are not radical, they are still of sufficient importance to describe for the benefit of the home dressmaker who likes to be repaid for her labor in good results and stylish garments.
In the first place, economy is the main thing to consider. Goods 44 to 52 inches wide are the best value, as they cut absolutely ithout waste. An or dinary skirt is 40 to 41 inches long and is cut in seven gores—one front gore, cut on the double, so that the fold will come in the exact middle two front side gores, two back side gores and two back gores. If the material is in solid color or in a design alike all over, the whole seven breadths may be cut from 84 inches of the goods by laying one pattern up and one down, as is shown on the diagram. Then the selvage seams of the two side breadths are sewed to the bias edges of the front breadth. The next two side gores are sewed in the same way, but the back gores have the straight seam in the center and the bias ones meeting the bias ones of the side gores. A tape or a piece of some stout cotton must bo sewed in so that the seam will not drag. All skirt seams must be sewed from the top downward and any irregularity cut away at the bottom. The skirt should measure 4*4 yards around. Another quarter may be added fpr very stout women by making the gores slant a little more when cutting the skirt. It is in the finishing of these skirts that the newest style lies. It is now an admitted fact that all stylish skirts are to be artificially sustained. By that I mean that they are stiffened and held in place by various applications of featherbone. The front side seams have lines of it extending from top to bottom to hold them smooth and without a wrinkle. The featherbone used for this purpose is a quarter of an inch wide and very flexible.
It is presupposed that a facing of buckram has been cut to conform exactly to the shape of the bottom of the breadths. This is sowed flat, one edge over the other, and then this is stitched to a deep facing of sateen or percaline, and in some oases it is faced again with fine mohair. The lower edge is basted to the outside, and along this is stitched a row of wider and a little heavier featherbone. Outside of this the velvet binding is put on or one of the many corded braids made for the purpose. After this is on and finished the upper part of the facing is lightly but firmly cat stitched to the gown. This is all done even when the skirt is lined. The upper part of the skirt may be simply "held full" to the band, or it may be slightly gathered or shaped plaits laid in, sot that it fits like a glove. That is a matter of taste. In the back it may be shirred or laid in deep box plaits. An elastio is put in at the baok about 18 inohes below the waist, fastened to .the center scam and the two back gore seams. Every seam that is sewed should be pressed with a moderately hot and hoavy iron as fast as it is sewed. If this is done, the skirt when finished should look as if it had grown together, the featherbone around the bottom giving it that rich, firm sweep so stylish just now. The skirt should just dear the ground, but no more.
This is not sufficient in the way of distension, and there has to be an underskirt to wear with tho elegant new

gowns made on purpose. This is of silk, sateen or moreen. The edge at the bottom has one row of the wide featherbone, which is quite stiff, though flexible and unbreakable. To this edge is sewed a bias flounce, and this is corded with several rows of featherbone piping cord. In the handsomest of these skirts five to ten pipings are sewed in with this cord all up the front and sides. In the back there is a small bustle of thick featherbone act inch wide, and there are from six to eight round rings made of heavy featherbone in graduated sixes. The petticoat material is sewed around these so that hollow pipes are formed lbs whole length of the skirt, and that
sustains the fullness at the back of the outer dress. Any lady can make one of these skirts for herself. They are expensive to buy, but net so when made at home.
The waists come next aijd are divided into two distinct classes, the loose blouse and the tight basque fitted waist. A reference to the diagram will show Nos. 1 and 2, the foundation waist for the blouse. No. 7 shows the shape of the material to be applied to the lining mentioned above, and that will produce an effect like No. 8. The seams in the lining are to be sewed as usual and then feather boned. The shoulders should be taken in with the blouse. This is cut so as to have four plaits, each 2 inches wide. Lay the plaits first, just so that the inner edges touch, and if of cloth or other wool goods press them flat. Those in the back are only fastened to the waist line. Those in front reach the bottom. Where the line is marked

across it is shirred and tacked to the lining. In front it is fulled up and only fastened at the bottom. The shoulder seams are basted and sewed and the sleeves set in. The new collar, called the Lafayette, is cut in four pieces, like those marked 5 and 6. The lining is made of buekraiii, and it is stitched with a row of duplex featherbone all around the upper part and on each of the three seams. The outside is then made double and fitted over it, and it falls into position when worn without pressing. The bias seams should be slightly pulled when the featherbone is sewed .to it, which gives it an outward spring.
The new sleeves are in two pieces, and 4 in the diagram. They are not large, but the fit is very elegant and comes from the curve at the upper outer edge. When desired sprung at the wrist, a row of featherbone sewed along the edge holds it in place, and, in fact, is an addition anyhow. The battlemented, medici and tudor collars are all made by forming the foundation with buckram and featherbone. This is springy and therefore better than wire.
The basque waists will be very popular. They differ from the old style in having the darts higher and the shoulder seams almost reaching the top of the shoulder, and also in the better finish of the inside. This has a great bear ing on the perfect fit and beauty of a waist. The back seams are to be laid open and pressed. Then a row of the "boning" featherbone is sewed firmly by machine to the inner side of the darts, reachiu,g from the bottom of the basque to the top. This makes an improvement over the old styles. All the other seams are carefully treated in the same way, and two rows of featherbone in narrower widths are sewed along the fronts and hold the hooks and eyes.
The collar on and sleeves in, the last boning is done by stitching a row of the ten cord featherbone along the bottom of the basque or waist. It holds it firmly and solidly in place.
Some of the basques are pointed and some rounded. Some have center back seams, and some have none. A new fancy is to have but one dart on the surface of a waist, but there are always two in the lining. It is important that all parts of a basque should be cut evenly, every seam pressed, bound or overcast, feather boned stoutly and finally pressed again. If a reliable pattern is used and these directions are followed, the results must be satisfactory, and the garment will keep its shape as long as it lasts.
OLIVE HARPER.
The Downing of Scotty.
When Ballarat, the Victorian goldfield, was in the heyday of its prosperity, when men played pitch and toss with sovereigns and lighted their pipes with bank notes, a Scotsman, who was known as nothing else but Scotty, was said to have "struck oil." It was also rumored that he wished to leave the diggings with his pile of gold dust and nuggets without attracting the attention of the bushrangers who infested that part of the country and robbed the unwary.
One morning, with his swag on his back and his billy in his hand, Scotty slipped quietly away from the diggings, only to be met by bushrangers, three in number, some two miles from the diggings. He was "stuck up" and asked to deliver his pile. This Scotty refused to do, but offered to fight them, "one down another come on.'' The bushrangers accepted the challenge, and entering into tho spirit of the affair cms bushranger stepped forward, and the fight began in regular prise ring style.
At the end of the first round the bushranger had quite sufficient and retired to allow the second to come forward, but after two rounds he was landed and refused to fight The third bushranger, seeing that Scotty would probably escape, called upon his companions to give what aid they could* and they tackled Scotty.
After a ferocious struggle they succeeded in getting him down, and while one held his feet and another his he&d the third nushraager quickly ran through Sootty's clothes and after a

TEBBE HAUTE SATURDAY E YimTNG MALL, OCTOBER 16, 1897.
A Hasty Introduction.
"Speaking of introductions,8* said the mnch traveled man in the smoker, "reminds me of the queerest one I ever saw or heard of and in which I was one of the principals. I was crossing froma Nova Scotia to Boston on a schooner loaded with plaster, a chance that came to me in a country part where I was staying for my health. As the boat saved me 60 miles of stage coach riding to the town of Halifax, where the nearest steamer' travel was to be found, I took passage and fear ten
days was
tossed
about on a sea voyage that by steamer consumes 36 hours. "There was ajnother passenger—a tourist like myself—and the captain made several desperate efforts to get us acquainted, he knowing us both, but at each attempt before he could pronounce our names he was either called on deck or the ship gave a lurch and the introduction did not take place. "But one day, when it was so rough outside that we staid in our bunks in the captain's cabin and the wind was blowing great guns, the skipper, who had come below for something, stopped to say: 'You two gentlemen ought to be made acquainted. Mr. Smith, Mr. Brown Mr. Brown, Mr. Smith.' "That is the down east method of introducing people, and as our names were mentioned we each turned in our bunks to salute the other, the bunks being on exactly opposite sides of the cabin. "But at that moment each one of us shot from his bunk as if from the mouth of a cannon, and as we passed at that high rate of speed we caught each other's hand and shook it with a will and had just time to acknowledge the captain's politeness by saying as we flew past:
5
'Glad to know you, Mr. Smith.' 'Delighted to meet you, Mr. Brown.' "—Chicago Times-Herald.
The Beggar's Indignation.
A beggar accosted a gentleman and whined: "I'm paralyzed in both me 'ands, mister, an can't work, fer I can't grasp anythink with 'em. Could, ye spare me a trifle, mister?"
4
"I'm deaf," replied the gentleman. "You'd better write down what you have to say. Here's a pencil and apiece of paper." "Deaf, is 'e?" thought the beggar. "Then 'e didn't 'ear about the paralysis."
So he wrote down: "I've got a wife an six children starvin at home, mister. I've been out o' wurk fer six munths an ham in a dreffel state of destertushun."
He handed the paper to the gentleman, who read it and said: "I thought you said you werfe paralyzed in both hands and couldn't grasp anything, and yet you can write." "Did—didn't ye say ye was deaf?" stammered the beggar, who now really did feel paralyzed. "Yes, just to find out if you were an impostor, which you are, as I suspected, replied the gentleman. "Well, of all the bloomin frauds, yer the biggest!" exclaimed the beggar. "The hidea of yer sayin ye was deaf an tryin to impose on a pore feller."
And he shuffled off, sniffing the air with righteous indignation.—London Tit-Bits.

"Have you fixed my will so that it cannot possibly be broken—so that there absolutely no chance for any disputes over its provisions when I am gone?'' "Yes," replied the eminent lawyer. "Every possible precaution has been taken to make sure that your bequests will go to those to whom you have devised them.'' "You have not forgotten to name yourself .as my executor, as I directed?" "I have done so,«sir." "And you are certain that every 'i' is properly dotted and every 't' crossed as it should be?" "Yes, sir. There is not a single loophole of any kind or character in the document. Every possible contingency has been provided for. I will 'itake my legal reputation on that, Mr. Peebles." "Well, now, tell me, Hooks—not professionally, but as a man and lifelong friend—whom do you honestly think stands the best show of getting the property?" "Well, if you put it that way—er— h'm—I do "—New York Journal.
Begging and Religion.
Before a London police justice a professional beggar told an interesting story of his methods. He admitted haunting the neighborhoods where religious meetings were held, and he appealed to women coming from these meetings with the quotations: "The Lord loveth a cheerful giver." "Those who give to the poor lend to the Lord." "The birds of the air have nests, the foxes have holes, but, like the Son of Man, I have nowhere to lay my head." The prisoner said that he found this method very effective, especially in the winter months, when women wore thick gloves and could not tell the difference between a penny and a half crown.
Japanese Sarcasm.
The growth of Christianity among the Japanese is not without opposition. The Yorodzu Choho, Tokyo, says: "In the long history of Christendom we know of not a single case of & country saved by it. With Montezuma's Mexico and the incas' Peruvian empire tho coarse of Christendom was absorption, destruction, annihilation. It has killed India, politically at least It has killed Burma and Anam. It has killed Hawaii, after keeping it alive some 40 jean. It has killed Madagascar, and it will yet kill Abyssinia, Egypt and Marooco. What security have we that Christendom will not kill China, Korea and even Japan, if the opportunity offers? Christendom does its destructive work mot only by guns and bayonet* but by means much more formidable. It kills non-Christian countries by its rums and whiskies and by its foul dis-

The Borne of the Hot Devils. The greatest natural wonder in Java, if not in the entire world, is the
celebrated Gheko Kamdha Gumko, or "home of the hot devils," known to the world as the Island of Fire. This geological eccentricity is really a lake of boiling mud, situated at about the center of the plains of Grobogana, and is called an island because of tbe great emerald sea of vegetation which surrounds it and gives it that appearance.
The "island" is about two miles in circumference and is situated at a distance of almost iexactly 50 miles from Sola Near the center of this geological freak immense columns of soft, hot mud may be seen continually rising and falling like great timbers thrust through the boiling snbstratum by giant hands and then quickly withdrawn.
Besides the phenomenon of tbe boiling mud columns tbere are scores of gigantic babbles of hot slime that fill up like huge balloons and keep up a series of constant explosions, the intensity of the detonations varying with the size of tbe bubble. In times past, so the Javanese authorities say, there was a tall spirelike column of baked mud on the west edge of the lake, which constantly belched a pure stream of cold water, but this has long been obliterated, and everything is now a seething mass of bubbling mud and slime, a marvel to tbe visitors who come
The Wisdom of Kruger.
A golfer in South Africa left his property to be equally divided between two sons. Not being able to agree, tbey decided to let President Kruger arbitrate. He said to the eldest, "You are the eldest, are you not?" "Yes," was the answer. "So you shall divide the property." This pleased tbe elder immensely. "You are the youngest," continued Kruger to the other, "so you shall have first choice."—Golf. (Jrtd

Old, Young People.
People age quickly in this American life, and instances of preservation of youthful strength and vigor in mature years are pointed to as remarkable. We are educated to believe in early decay of physical beauty and strength, especially in our women, and permit the decline to continue with a passing sigh. Most women have a worn look in the early twenties, the figure loses its roundness, the face the glow of youth, and from that time on they age rapidly. All this is wrong and unnecessary. Let everybody to whom this word may come, men and women alike, learn from skilled experience the cause of your trouble, and secure this invaluable advice. Dr. Greene, discoverer of the famous Nervura, and many other wonderful remedies, invitps consultation at the office of Dr. Greene's remedies, 148 State St., Chicago, III., either by personal call or by letter through the mail, and in either case advice and consultation will be absolutely free of a charge. This offer is for everybody, old and young, rich and poor, and thousands of happy people tes tify to-day to the practical nature of this experienced advice and the marvelous curative power of his remedies. Don't be satisfied to grow old prematurely when the advice of this famous physician is at your disposal for the asking, wholly free of charge.
