The Home Dressmaker 
A Serge Street Dress. —The wom- 
au’s dress shown in the first picture is 
dark blue serge with sleeves and tucker 
of Georgette crepe. It is very plain, but 
carries out prevailing style in its pariier 
pockets a;id invisible fastenings. In this 
case the wai. i" '’as en d along the 
shoulder and und n ; he arm, on the left 
side, the placket being disguised by the 
pocket opening. The crepe guiinpe is tlio 
same color as the serge, the sleeves hav¬ 
ing a little mekfn-shaped puff let in ou 
the under side near the cuff, whi<-li gives 
may be buttoned up as shown, which is 
vt>ry snug and comfortable, or turned 
down like a cape. The coat figured was 
made of heavy cloaking; if .a lighter 
cloth is used, it should be well interlined. 
The little hat isr of stitched «-loth, 
trimmed with velvet and tassels of col¬ 
ored silk and beads. 
A Girl’s Jacket Smx.—The «-euter 
figure shows a young girl’s jacket suit, 
perhaps her first. While not what is 
called strictly tailored, it is very plain, 
and if a soft cloth is selected, it is not 
the Useful Serge lor Mother and Son 
a preUy extra fullnc.ss. 'I'he little slash 
in the center of the waist In front is 
looped together at the top by two fancy 
buttons, and thei-e is a narrow embroidery 
r)f .silk and beads around the pockets, hem 
of skirt, cuffs and neckband of guimpe. 
'rhe hat is a high-crowned, narrow- 
brimmed shape of black velvet, trimmed 
with a group of curved eoque feathers. 
A great many di-esses of the class figured 
are trimmed with soutache braid, often 
the whole front of the waist covered Avith 
soutache put on in the old coral pattern, 
or laid across it in bauds, the skirt be¬ 
ing bamJed in- the same way. The absence 
of any front cbjsing is a marked feature 
in stresses and separate blouses, hut is 
bey<md the skill of a home dressmaker. 
Stiff and wiry materials are not e.'isy to 
make up with a 'tailored Iini.sh. and 
should be avoided. In thi.s case tlie suit 
consists of a pleated skirt which, for a 
young girl, would be improved by a 
nigh belt with suspenders or a jumper 
effect, worn over a white blouse. The 
coat is a military model of the French 
type buttoue<l straight down the front, 
loose-fitting, and drawn in by a stitched 
belt with a square brass buckle. The fur 
collar could be brought up high around 
the neck; the plain sleeves have deep 
fur cuffs, and the pjit<h i>o<d<ets are 
buttoned at the top. The coat has a 
fancy lining of fioweml luateri.al. In 
not a style becoming to stout women, 
unless there Is trimming to break the 
width. 
A LrraxE Middy. —The boy’s suit ia 
one of the prevalent middy styles here 
•shown with shorts, but often seen with 
full-length sailor trousers. The cut of 
the blouse differs a little in its fiare from 
former models. The material is the 
usual blue serge, the white hat having a 
figured band. 
A COMPOBTABLE CoAT.—In the second 
illustration, the child at the left wears a 
comfortable coat lOf serviceable style. 
Both back and front show a flaring panel, 
wider at the bottom than the top. At 
each side a deep pocket is turned up, 
buttoned at the top, which i.s finished 
with stitching. The deep folded collar 
the model figured the material was beige 
colored cloth with mu.squash collar and 
cuffs, the coat lined Avith cream and bhm 
flowered silk. It is a good idea, Avhere 
economy must be considered, to line a 
child’s coat or jacket with a nice flowered 
cretonne, selecting a pattern of small 
floAvers, brightly colored, ou a light 
ground. Cictonne has been used (juite 
freely as a dress material during the 
past year or two,^ and a smooth <)uality 
makes a nice lining, A young Avearer 
always appreciates a pretty lining, and 
will take pride in a made-over garment 
that is thus given a smart and up-to-date 
air.
