Glorified Nightgowns 
There never was a time when the fit of 
a garment was so easy and simple as at 
the present. It is an opportune time to 
get our girl interested in sewing, and 
the making of her own garments, for she 
will attempt the simpler articles and 
gradually work up to the more difficult 
and intricate pieces. A sewing teacher in 
a nearby Summer school told the girls 
that most of them wore glorified night¬ 
gowns to school. It was amusing, but 
truthful, for most of the tub dresses of 
the present are the kimono draft. 
It has always been a simple matter for 
me to use a plain size 36 pattern, and by 
means of a newspaper work out several 
designs from the one. However, since 
an increase in weight (and being but 5 ft. 
2 in. tall) has made the size 36 pattern 
impossible, I have longed to draft my pat¬ 
tern from personal measures. I have 
several magazines at home and access to 
several more in our local library, which 
deal with women’s home problems. All 
the articles on sewing and matters per¬ 
taining to sewing are read with keen in¬ 
terest. 
From various sources I have combined 
ideas until I have formulated a draft for 
a kimono nightgown which in turn may 
serve as a glorified nightgown draft. The 
tools for drafting are few. Lacking a 
tailor’s square one may use a carpenter’s 
square or a short one from the 5 and 10- 
cent store, a yard stick, tape measure, 
good scissors or shears, pencils and paper 
60 in. long if it can be secured. These 
are indispensable aids. 
Measurements necessary are : Length 
from shoulder to the floor. 
Arm’s-eye, taken loosely. 
Bust measure. 
Belt waist measure, loosely, plus 4 in.; 
4 x /2 in. wide is a good width. 
In the picture, A B is length from 
shoulder to floor. 
B D, width of nightgown. 
A C, B D‘, or % width. 
A E, 14 arm’s-eye measure, plus 2 in. 
E. F, % bust measure, plus 3 in. 
F. O, parallel to A C. 
C O squares A E in length. 
F and D are connected by vardstick. 
A H is 4 in. 
A G is 4 in. 
A I is 5 in. 
LI G is flack neck outline. 
H I is front neck outline. 
On the line O O down from C make a 
dot li^ in. and on F O in from O make 
a dot I 14 in. Connect from H to the 
dot on the line C O with a dotted line. 
Then from this dot connect by another 
dotted line to the dot on the line F O. 
This is to make a more attractive line. 
Now measure on F O outward 3 in. 
and make a dot. Then on F D downward 
measure 3 in. and make another dot. 
Connect these two dots (designated as M 
and N) by a curved dotted line to make 
a smooth-fitting underarm. In order to 
make a smooth-fitting hem measure up 
from O li/4 in. and in from D 6 in. and 
connect by a dotted line. 
The pattern is now ready to cut out. 
If the drafting paper is double it is wise 
to cut out the under draft (or back it 
will be) first. The front (or upper 
draft) will then give the front neck out¬ 
line. A woman with average ability or 
native ingenuity may so manipulate the 
pattern that two garments from the same 
draft may not be recognized as being of 
so close relationship. 
The use of the bindings, tatting trim, 
picot edge materials, and the like, may 
transform-a garment and redeem it from 
the commonplace. 
Use of scallops, bias folds, the flounce, 
or frills of various outlines on the sleeves, 
may change the whole effect. The neck 
outline may be scalloped, cut V, round or 
square. It may be left plain, or have'a 
collar, the shape of which may be varied 
to suit the taste of the individual. The 
length of the sleeve may be adjusted to 
suit the individual need or taste, and 
the edge may be plain or cut to harmonize 
with the design. The length of the gar¬ 
ment is readily adjusted, for all one needs 
to do is know the length of garment one 
wears—-how many inches from the floor— 
and allow the depth of hem desired, or if 
scallops are desired, no hem is allowed in 
the draft. 
If a vestee is wished or a square front 
of different color is part of the color 
scheme, it is a simple matter to cut out 
the cloth and put in the vestee as a set- 
in. This is much easier done before the 
side seams are sewed up, but care must 
be exercised that the curved outlines 
around the neck and under the arms do 
not pull and sag out of shape. 
If one wishes to use this pattern again 
and again, I should suggest that the 
measurements he written on the draft. 
As an added precaution, my patterns al¬ 
ways hear the date of the draft, as well 
as the name for whom drafted. In this 
way the parts of the pattern are easily 
identified. the twins’ mother. 
Frank Talk on the 
Price of Dentifrices 
You wouldn’t pay a fancy price for 
a cream separator simply because of 
flowers painted on its base* A sepa¬ 
rator can do no more than skim milk* 
And likewise when you pay more 
than 25c for a dentifrice, your imag¬ 
ination does the spending instead of 
your common sense* A safe dentifrice 
can do no more than clean teeth. 
Ask yourself what you get for what 
you pay above that price* Perhaps a 
fancy name; useless drugs; a “cure- 
all” theory; or possibly plain grit. 
When you pay 25c for a large tube of 
Colgate’s Ribbon Dental Cream you 
have bought a dentifrice that is safe 
and that cleans teeth the right way* 
Colgate’s is free from grit and harm¬ 
ful drugs. It “washes” teeth and does 
not scratch or scour their precious 
enamel. It is the safe c6mmon 
sense dentifrice. A large tube, 25c*
