The Home Dressmaker 
The Turn of the Year. —The Christ¬ 
mas goods sold through December are 
quickly pushed aside by the Spring fab¬ 
rics, garments and millinery that must 
attract Southern pleasure seekers. From 
the chill of snowy streets we look into 
shop windows gay with flowery hats, 
gauzy fabrics and the most summery of 
sports clothes. One good thing about 
these styles for Palm Beach and Miami is 
that the forehanded woman who wants to 
do her Summer sewing early can get a 
good idea of advance styles and favored 
colors, and as the “white sales” in Janu¬ 
ary and February include standard col¬ 
ored wash goods, one can usually buy to 
advantage then. It pays in every way to 
buy and make up these Summer things 
early. 
Another Straight-line Frock. — A 
great many of the cloth dresses seen are 
the straight and beltless type. Many of 
them have been seen with a lace panel ex¬ 
tending from the collar all down the 
front, while others are trimmed with but¬ 
tons from neck to hem. The dress at the 
left gives a newer idea in the way the 
braid trimming is put on. This dress 
was midnight blue kasha cloth, perfectly 
straight and plain. At the left side two 
rows of fancy silk braid, black and red, 
extended from shoulder to hem. The in- 
The little hat, with a shaped crown and 
narrow drooping brim, was made of the 
same material as the coat. A narrow 
line of fur around the crown was the 
only trimming on the hat. This was a 
very pretty outfit for the small girl, and 
we liked the way the fur was put on. It 
was not only novel, but was an attractive 
way to use small pelts without joining. 
An Attractive Trimming. —Next to 
the coat is a simple dress model that is 
made attractive by unusual trimming. 
The dress was dark brown twill, and was 
the plain one-piece style. At one side of 
the front a vertical band of bright green 
silk was let in, and finished at the bot¬ 
tom by a little bunch of flowers and foli¬ 
age, embroidered in orange, green and 
blue wool. Darning stitches of orange 
wool finished the edges of the insert, and 
the only other trimmings were frills of 
heavy cream-eolored Irish crochet finish¬ 
ing neck and sleeves. As finished, it was 
quite a dressy little frock, and yet it was 
plainly made. We often find, on study¬ 
ing garments in the exclusive shops, that 
it is color and line, rather than elaborate 
work, that gives the air of style. 
A Modest Party Frock. —The little 
dress at the right shows a style prevail¬ 
ing, with many variations of color and 
material, for dance or simple evening 
A Group of Attractive Models 
ner row of braid was broken at about the 
waist, and here six flat black and red but¬ 
tons took its place, the braid being con¬ 
tinued on down to the hem. In the back 
the dress was trimmed in exactly the 
same way with the rows of braid and the 
buttons. The long tight sleeves were fin¬ 
ished with two rows of braid. The dress 
was high in the neck, and had a double 
turn-down collar with a tie of the braid 
in front. In the original model the col¬ 
lar was of gray flannel, which was a nov¬ 
el touch we have noted occasionally, but 
we think a collar of linen or pique would 
be more becoming. 'We also see such col¬ 
lars of colored kid. The hat figured, of 
light brown English felt, was trimmed 
with a double brush of darker brown. 
English felt is a fabric with a slightly 
hairy surface, often used in made hats. 
It is often combined with kid, in colors, 
gold and silver. 
Colored Embroidery. —The next fig¬ 
ure shows a variation of the same model. 
This was a dress of black twill, the only 
variation in cut from the first figure be¬ 
ing the full bell sleeves gathered into a 
wristband. The trimming, however, 
made it very different, this being wool 
embroidery of the gorgeous peasant type, 
showing a good deal of red and green. 
There was a broad band of the embroid¬ 
ery all down the front, and a band on the 
lower part of each sleeve. A small round 
collar of white linen was finished at the 
edge with blanket stitch in red wool. A 
similar dress of light brown twill, with 
the embroidered trimming in dark brown, 
coral and black, was very pretty. As 
originally seen, this dress had no girdle, 
but a tall wearer will find it more becom¬ 
ing with a narrow- belt of the material, 
which breaks the long line of broad em¬ 
broidery. 
A Pea Green Coat.— The child’s coat 
in the center was gay enough for a 
Christmas card, for it was bright pea 
green broadcloth trimmed with natural 
red squirrel. The cut of the coat was en¬ 
tirely plain, but a pleat on each shoulder, 
taken without stitching down, made it 
flare out. The closing sloped over to one 
side, the only visible fastening being a 
large fancy button, more than half way 
down. Across the front, near the bot¬ 
tom, was a short band of the fur, set on 
like applique, and there was a similar 
hand on the back. The high turn-over 
collar and turn-back cuffs were trimmed 
with the fur also, that on the euffs being 
set on, not forming a band all around. 
wear, and it is a style especially suitable 
for a slim or unformed figure. It con¬ 
sists of a plain long-waisted bodice and 
a gathered skirt. Such dresses last Win¬ 
ter w r ere entirely sleeveless, but there is a 
■tendency this season to make them with 
little sleeves, as shown, which is not only 
more modest, but in most cases more be¬ 
coming also. The model from which this 
sketch was taken was not the usual light- 
colored silk, but was black chiffon velvet. 
Let into the skirt around the hips was a 
broad band of vivid 1 petunia-colored cord¬ 
ed silk finished at one side with a large 
poppy of deep purple velvet, with a silver 
center, the petals being edged with silver 
also. The little sleeves were of the petu¬ 
nia silk, finished with an upstanding cir¬ 
cular frill of the purple velvet. The neck 
was finished with a line of silver. This 
was a very handsome dAiss, because of. 
the materials and color combination, but 
quite simple in the actual making. 
►Saving Time Sewing on Buttons.— 
Here is a suggestion for putting on the 
buttons on those smart new gowns which, 
like Old Grimes’s coat, are “all buttoned 
down before”: 
“When making dresses with a lot of 
buttons, as in Patterns 2144 and 2047, in 
December 0 R. N.-Y., baste a tape meas¬ 
ure from top to bottom of dress. But¬ 
tons can be. spaced % in., 1 in., or any 
distance desired, and sewed on beside the 
tape measure. I saw a black satin dress 
trimmed with two rows of white buttons 
from top to bottom of dress. The wearer 
told me this way of sewing them on. 
“m. s. m.” 
Notes and Novelties. —Cranberry is 
often listed among the new colors for 
coats, dress goods and millinery. This is 
not the bright red we usually associate 
with this fruit, but a deep red bronze, 
somewhat similar to the color we used to 
call raisin, but a little redder. We think 
it more becoming in fabrics with a vel¬ 
vety surface than in shiny silks. 
Among heavy cottons we find eponge in 
a^variety of colors, woven like homespun, 
75 cents a yard ; as it does not crumple 
like linen, it is desirable for plain tail¬ 
ored dresses and separate skirts. The 
imported novelty cottons costing from 
$1.25 to $3 the yard or more, include 
ratine in varied weaves, etamine, ma¬ 
terials with openwork or drop-stitch ef¬ 
fects, and some embroidered and bordered 
fabrics. All the shades of yellow, from 
cream to deep orange, sand, beige and { 
many vivid reds are favored.
