CUTTING
The proof of good dressmaking is
In good cutting, if a dress be well
cut, you will have no trouble at all
about putting It together. These few
hints from an experienced dressmak
er mty, therefore, be of eervlc# to the
amateurs among my readers.
When you are cutting out a skirt,
always allow plgnty of turnings
tround the waist snd hips; and re-
member that If your hips are large
In proportion to your waist. It la best
to gst a pattern a couple of Inches
larger than the waist, rathtr than
ona that just fits. It Is easy then to
take the goods in at the waist If tha
pattern la too large at this place.
When you are cutting a striped
skirt, remember that even though
yon mar be told oh the pattern to
place one side to a selvage, it Is ad
visable to use rathtr your own com
mon sense and. as a rule at least, to
cut each tide slightly on the bias. If

palls her. She Is a girl particularly
fitted for marrlago and yet an early
unhappy romance has mado her re
ject all later lovors. She looks for
ward to her future and It seems blank
and she ukt me "What shall I do?
To me, to be without friends. Is to
be without happiness. Myrtilla com
plains, however, that she has no op
portunity for friend-making. She Is
busy all day and economy compels
her to rent a small room and take her
meals out. She cannot entertain and
she can not, she contends, accept so
cial favors from others. She has no
plsco to receive man callers and alto
gether it teems a rather hopeless
proposition to tall Myrtilla how to
make friends.
My own recipe It, "Be friendly,"
but Myrtilla has a self-contained,
somewhat repressed nature. She
wishes to draw people to her, but can
not let herself out. I am going to
suggest to Myrtilla, therefore, that
she begin to make friends among peo

stows upon them. She will thus have
the glow of gratification that comes
rrom being looked up to by somebody
and ths will be relieves. from a soli
tary lif* by the new Interests which
will crowd upon htr.
I once knew a girl, who. like Myr-
to a big - ‘
ttla. came to a Big city and for a
long time waa alone. At last her
loneliness almost threatened her rea
eon. She seemed to have no gift of

babies came, but the elder boys and

know things that she would tell aim.

There was no loneliness now that she

not only for himself, but for her, and
the days of her desolation were over.
1 shall suggest to Myrtilla that ski]
begin either with children or wltk
old people. In either instance sks
will find satisfaction and response.
The old people yearn so much for the'j

will go more than half-way In the
