Hints on How to Make Own Dresses

The pathway of the home dressmaker has been strewn with rosea ever since the day that the chemise frock took its place in the sacred circles of the mode, and Its partial eclipse this season, observes a fashion writer in the New York Herald-Tribune, has occasioned many reproaches and dubious glances on the part of this thriftily inclined lady. The mantie of the chemise, however, has fortunately fallen on the athletic shoulders of the jumper frock, whose construction is almost as simple, and the nimble-fingered lady can settle down to at least another season of complacency. The first maxim of the French home dressmaker Is this: Always eliminate unnecessary trimming, think first of your line, study your figure, look at yourself in a long glass—if possible one with wings, so that you can examine your outline from every viewpoint. If you are slim and straight the world of fashion is at your feet. You have only to run up a little jumper and put a group of knife plaits on either side of your straight crepe de chine skirt to match and Paris could do little more for you. Making Plumpness a Virtue. If an unkind fate has endowed you with a little more than the necessaryplumpness, your problem is more difficult and calls for more selective discretion. It is a truism that the large woman must avoid horlzonral stripes mF 4 * f .

If you are what the French call roundelette, remember always to put some little touch Into your dress that gives length. It may be a narrow panel down the center front—for Instance, you can choose a printed cotton voile In a straggling flower pattern, making it up so that the long lines run from neck to hem. A printed voile model recently seen Is particularly adapted to the average j embonpoint figure, as Its flower design j runs up and down, giving a perpendicI ular striped effect.

Frills and Flounces for the Over-Slender Miss

As for the girl who really is a little too thin—she does exist, even in these days of narrow lines—fluffy frills and flounces are their salvation. Her corsage can he made with the lines of the material going round the figure, and . she should always be careful to put In a few gathers on the shoulder seam in front.- Nothing is better for any figure, and the very thin girt cannot do without them. She should blouse her dress slightly and pouch it over a sash that can t>e tied In a puffy how at the side. Her skirt may be made with the lines of the design going up and down, but It should be decorated with five or six little frills, cut on straight lines and finished with a piece of picot edge, gathered all round with most of the fullness concentrated on the hit*. Short puff sleeves are smart this year and would be charming with a little frock of this type. They can be made with small handkerchief ties knotted or tied in a bow on the outer arm. An appropriate frock made along these lines is a printed chiffon model, with the design running round the fig-

Many Novelties Are Being Shown in Near Jewels

No East Indian, or lady from South Sea Wes, was ever more gorgeously bedecked than the smart American who displays the latest thing In near Jewels. Tbe tinted pears are now offered in sets, a choker of tbe beads In rainbow tints, with earrings to match as heretofore, and now the bracelets. Some are tn still serpentine spirals, others are flexible, to close with a jeweled clasp, the -jewel” being also an Imitation, oftenest jtfkt a bit of colored glass. In rhe untinted smaller “pearls.” three or four strands are made into a dog collar, held In shape by several slender clasps. These strands are made into dainty and really becoming bracelets, and when tbe finer quality of manufactured pearls are used, with a clasp set with brilliants. it is difficult to distinguish tbe real from the imitation. Much jet and cut steel is being used in dog collars and chains, and for those women who like to express individuality in these matters many antiques are shown. One sees quaint cameos, beautiful IntagHaa.

buttons and fine pin tucks on either side, also gives length. It is the same color as the ground of the material and is edged with a tiny frill of the color of the design. Both colors edge the short straight sleeves. Though both back and front are each cut In one piece, the effect of a separate skirt and bodice Is given by merely adding a gathered flounce at a longish waistline in front. Be sure to arrange the fullness of the flounce more in front than on the hips, for, though the latter arrangement is charming for the slender demoiselle, her more plump sister must avoid emphasising the hip line The back of this dress Is made straight and in one piece. You will be quite in the swing If you give a two-piece effect in front and show a straight, unbroken line at the back — so many dresses In Paris carry this deceptive appearance this season. Ingenious Trimming Effects. If your flower design is printed on a beige or pink ground you will make your center panel about three inches wide, of beige or pink, cut on the straight of the material. It Is best to draw a thread each side, to be sure to get It perfectly even all the way down. You may trim It with three fine hand-sewn pin tucks running all the way down on both sides, and as a further decoration put a line of small buttons matching the design of the flowers in color down the center. Edge the panel on each side with a tiny frill or piping the same shade as the buttons. Then your dress will have all the trimming it requires. Put in small, straight sleeves about five Inches long and edge them with a twocolor tjapdzhalf an Inch in the color of the ground and half an inch in the shade of the buttons. Don’t go in for guffs. Leave them for the slim girl, as they widen the silhouette. You can add a six-lnch-wlde sash of the printed material, with a picot edge or finely bordered with a bias band. If you like, but It is not necessary, as the beltless dress shows to greater advantage on the stout figure. The Insertion of Godets. The nimble-fingered lady who Is able to essay something a little more complicated can insert godets to give a little variety to her summer skirts. These should be curved at the hem and generally fall a kittle below the straight line of the skirt itself. You can either have a godet inlet on each side or one In front as well. In the latter case it is better to make the front godet higher and put in the side ones on a lower level. No article on home dressmaking can be complete this season without reference to the jumper frock which plays such an important part in every woman’s wardrobe. There are long jumpers that are almost tunics, and these you may embroider with a large motif or a complicated monogram. Or they might be adorned with a scarf collar, its ends faced with a contrasting color to match the accompanying skirt. You may make the sleeves long or short Inset bands of a contrasting material and trim the hem of the skirt in the same way. The short jumper that reaches the hips is an even more useful model, but It ought not be made to wear with any old skirt. The jumper of today has Its own skirt to match and is worn with no other. It forms a petite robe complete. The only diversion you may perpilt yourself is a check and a striped jumper in perhaps blue- and white, to wear with the same blue plaited skirt: but the blue of the skirt must be of the same material and exactly the same tones as the stripe or check of the two jumpers. Inasmuch as It is better to have the stripes run horizontally this particular model should be limited to the slender type.

| ure. Its puff sleeves are finished with bow ties and the sash will give additional fullness to the thin figure. Ths little frills are cut on a straight line picot edged And gathered onto the skirt at a low waistline. The floating panels that are so fashionable this season are a boon tn rhe home dressmaker, they are so simply made. The foundation should be a simple straight-line frock. T'be skirl should be 15 or 16 inches off the ground, and it would be. wiser to give It some fullness, especially over the hips. You can then cut long strips qi the material, each sbout six inches wide. Some of these sliotild be long and other* short. An attractive ar rangement Is to have alternate long panels reaching the hem or a little below and shorter ones which reach tc either two-thirds or half the length. Oi to introduce variety you may have alternate plaited and plain panels. This last suggestion Is particularly appro priate for the many printed materials that are enjoying such a vogue this season.

MARY (SRAHAM BONNER. —Mil I I «amMNT W VUtMN ' i * AFTER THE PARTY Mrs. Cucumber Green, whose real name was Margaret, but whose pretend name was

Mrs. Cucumber Green, as probably you all know, had had a party. Allie Baa, her favorite rag doll, had helped with the party. It had been a huge success. The other children had come and had brought their dolls. Every one had had such a good time.

In the Little Ex* The dolls had press Cart. behaved so well. Every * mother had been so proud of her children as they had every right to be. After the party was over and Mrs. Cucumber ‘ Green’s children had been covered up with the blanket in the little express cart, Allie cuddled up in her mother's arms in the bed by Number Four Green Lane'. Back of the bed, or rather at the ; side of the bed toward the wall, was a i •quite wide space. This was called, by Mrs. Cucumber Green, Number Four Green Lane. This was the make-believe street In which she lived. When she walked along this space, up to the end where the back wall was, she pretended she was at the market. Then she would talk to make-believe shopkeepers and buy all sorts of make-believe tilings for housekeeping. The wall paper was a very gay one and there were figures on the wall paper she pretended were people who were her neighbors. The street was called after the Green family who had always lived there. All the make-believe Greens Mrs. Cucumber Green said had always lived in the same place. Here Mrs. Cucumber Green kept her toys. Number Four Green Lane was a very busy section. I can tell you. Now that the party was all over which had been such a success and which would be something they could talk about with pride and joy and happy remembrances for some time. Os course Mrs. Green would give other parties, as she had always given a good many parties and was fond of entertaining. Allie was fond of entertaining, too. She enjoyed speaking to all the guests. Mrs. Cucumber Green changed her voice to speak for Allie. That made it easy. , In a squeaky little voice Mrs. Cucumber Green would say: "Yes. I’m Allie. Os course I remember you. And you remember me. too? “Yes, they all say I’ve grown, though I can’t see it myself. “Do take your hat and coat off, won’t you? You won’t feel the good of them when you go out if you don’t.' “Ah. yes, that’s better. Now you’ll , be more comfortable and you won’t catch cold when you go out." Allie was a good talker as you can see. But now they were in bed, and soon they would be asleep. How Allie did cuddle up in her i mother’s arms. Her mother held her | 'very close. "Oh. my darling, darling, darling Allie Baa.” she said. “You looked so sweet today with all your clean clothes. How nice i| was to have all dean clothes, even your stockings and worsted slippers were dean for the occasion. You looked so wonderfully, wonderfolly. my darling Allie Baa." Allie Baa snuggled even a little doe er. It was so nice, to hear her

mother’s sweet words of praise. "Oh. muv vI e dear,” Allie said, in her dear little squeaky voice, "what a lovely day we had.” And Mrs. Cucumber Green answered : “I’m so glad, my darling, and we shall have more lovely .days.” Then Mrs. Cucumber Green’s

eyes slowly closed « What a Lucky and for a little Ra _ Dol( j Arn .» while Allie was wide awake. She turned ever so slightly in her mother’s arms—not enough so as to disturb her—just a very little bit Then she looked at her mother whose eyes were closed, sleeping so beautifully. "What a lucky rag doll I am,” she said to herself, “to have such a good, good mother.** Warn’t That Much “Swelled” Marion was at the dinner table.
