TRIALS OF A DRESSMAKER.
pimcottlrn of Remaking fluwna and lie
Httinn the Diaaatlaflecl,
"OJradunlly and through ninny tribti
Intions am I gaining knowledge." nid
the dressmaker In an Interview In the
New York Time. "Moreover, I am
learning to control my temper. There
was a time when It made inc fi ghtiiiK
nuid for a customer to bring a garment
Imrk after It had been worn and com
plain that it didn't lit The air 1
Dsed to put on at such times were
wonderfully high and mighty.
"You accepted the dregs, t would
ay severely. "If It didn't CI you
Should have mild ho at the time.'
"As a rule the troublesome cus
tomer was very meek. 'I thought then
It looked all right,' she usually replied,
'hut after I bud worn It I noticed sev
eral defects that hud not been apparent
before.'
"Of course the end of the argument
was that I fixed the dress, but I al
tvaya charged extra for the alterations.
Now I make them without extra
charges. Oh. well, perhaps I do add
a little to the original price to cover
subsequent ripping and sewing, but
that Is not the point What 1 am try
ing to get at la that I no longer' raise
I row over those after-wearing re
pairs. With nine women out of ten
!hey are a necessity. A gown may set
faultlessly when leaving the shop, but
when It has been worn once or twice
It Is apt to develop unexpected ec
centricities. That is the result of
tbaping itself to the figure. There are
few women who have not physical ups
and downs that run contrary to the
lines of perfect beauty. Clothes are
bound to accommodate themselves to
these peculiarities, hence the belated
appearance of wrinkles and ridges.
"Even with my own clothes I have
come to realize that slight changes arc
necessary fter the waists get set
to the figure, so I cannot blame the
customers for demanding equal at
tention to their wardrobe. The only
thing I do object to is the fact that
they put all the blame on me. They
attribute the late crop of wrinkles to
my Incompetency, whereas the defects
are really the result of their own
Taleal Imperfections."
When Woman U the Architect.'
It would seem that the woman' of
lo-day should be the architect of the
dwelling. It is she who must fit and
dress the home and, as she generally
would be if she also planned the un
dressed house. Every woman should
know where the drainpipes are placed
In the bouse, and be sufficiently well
Informed to oversee the plumber in
bis work, and know bow to test the
plumbing when the work Is said to be
finished. With a faithful adherence
to this knowledge, much diphtheria,
typhoid and such kindred diseases may
be avoided.
The housewife should also know
bow to manage the draughts of the
furnace or the valves of the steam
pipes. It requires close attention and
hard study to understand house con
struction, yet the resourceful women
of to-day are certainly equal to It.
As the heating of the house is a
very important Item, it would be well,
unless thoroughly versed on the sub
ject, to consult an authority. The old
time Baltimore litater has given way
to the furnace, which, if properly built,
will send heat to every corner of the
bouse. The furnace need not neces
sarily be extra liir.'e to heat the entire
house, but a well selected, reliable
make Is the one to choose a few extra
dollars Invested in this article will re
pay the owner In the long run.
For cheer and health's sake the grate
fire still holds its own, and is invalu
able for carrying away the perms of
many diseases that would otherwise
create havoc. To be sure, dust and
ashes accompany the grate fire, but
the end Justine the means. On moder
ately cool spring and autumn days,
when the furnace fire Is too warm, the
open grate fire, or its equivalent, gas
logs, wilM'e siirttepit and may be cx
tiCguIshoTiit wwrk""w..
It Is only a question of time when tlie
liome will be reorganized. The march
of progress cannot be hindered. Just
as elcjftricit has been used for the
lighting of streets, so will sclent i tic
principles be IniroJUced into house
and home, and as woman wax origin
ally the inventor, the manufacturer
and the provider, t-lie should again
take the rel'is iu lie: own bands and
be prepared for any emergency. She
should understand the shelter the
house lt:'lf, its healthf ulness. its in
fluence on mind and soul, the food
and clothing which sustain and help
the body, ami the general management
end daily care of all those means re
lated to the one great end. It would
seem that architecture offers a field
for women, but not many have cared
to grasp the advantages yet. I believe
that women, better than men, under
stand the secret of developing a house
from the Inside, and embracing simpli
city, stability, breadth and dignity.
When more women follow this study
there will be more delightful liouies

Thn Patriotic- Woman of Japan.
With all social barriers down, hand
in hand and heart to heart, the mil
lions of Japan are working for one
common end the crushing defeat of
Itussia and the glory of their country
In victory.
The practical, every day side of the
Ituatlon, divested of possibly fine
cpun theories. Is that the wealthy
and aristocratic men and women are
working with the humbler classes to
organise relief and aid societies.
The oldest and best known of these
Is the National Red Cross Society,
founded in 1687 by the Government,
and presided over by his Imperial
Highness Prince Komatsu. until his
death a year ago. The present presi

Gown of RrlflesmaMe.
The fashion of dressing bridesmaids
exactly alike has Its disadvantage!
quite apart from the fact that a given
costume may be equally suitable to fl
whole bevy f girls. Think of thir
teen gowns nnd thirteen hats exactly
alike let loose In London, says the
Queen. At a time of the year when
the bridesmaid's gown may be trans
formed Into an evening dress, or taken
abroad, it may not matter so much;
but think of the possibility of meet
ing those thirteen frocks one after
another at Ascot, for instance. It is
pure tragedy. Why should the grour
of "attendant maids" be dressed alike?
Why should they not carry out a
scheme of color, each unit pluylng net
part in the construction of a harmon
ious whole. A group of eight brides
maids, who were dressed recently in
the hues of azaleas, were a great suc
cess. They wore soft, clinging frocks
of voile de solo, two In pale sulphur,
two In faint salmon pink and two in
the color only seen In the azalea and a
similarly tinted rose. They carried
bouquets of azaleas.

A scrapbook of one's gowns is one
of the late wrinkles which young
women are lending themselves. Every

wore, with samples of the trimmings,
buttons and linings (if fancy). Is pasted
into the pages, the result being a little
biographical sketch, ho to speak, ol
one's wardrobe foi life. Beneath each
dress are written the date when it was
first donned and any Interesting data
concerning It that one can recall. A

she was proposed to, her weddin"

Coral AgHln Popular,
A Jeweler the other day sold that
one of the results of the present war
In the Far Kust was likely to be a re
vival of popular interest in corol
jewelry. "No coral Is superior to the
Japanese coral," he went on, "and the.
Jupunese make most artistic uses of
It. Japanese coral runs from pure
white and white mossed with red to
an exquisite tlesh tint, resembling pink
pearls, and a delightful rose color. The
last two are very beautiful and very
expensive. A string of perfectly
matched beads of rose coral is al
most as valuable as a string of good
pearls of the same si.e would be, and
quite as beautiful. It is years since
women of fashion have chosen, to ac
cord their favor to coral, but this may
be because the commoner red shades,
often carved like cameos, are all they
see. With the present craving for new
and strange stones and combinations,
I should think these superb Japanese
corals might worthily be ndded to the
American woman's collection of
jewels." New York Tribune.
Faded old shades are popular. "'
KpHulets appear ou most of the new
blouses.
The smallest scrap of lace plays a
big part. ... .. .. ,.,.... ,.:
Silk Unites match the dress or Its
trimmings.
Beaver f.iilshed ribbons are much
worn on huts.
A cluster of chestnut burrs Is an odd
hair ornament.
Heavy white titchings are always
smart ou black.
Adjustable fancy vests brighten up
many dark gowns.
Mili-rings form girdle effects on
many house frocks.
Black gowns of smooth finished cloth
were never smarter.
Almost all of the "opening" gowns
have deep, tight cuffs. ,
The Dutch neck Is a pretty finish for
warm weather waists.
Jet fringes are favored for sheer
black or white frocks.
Ostrich feathers are commended
both for beauty and durability.
Embroider your linen gown with
graduated water spots iu pale colors.
Pastel voiles and etamlnes are
trimmed with wide silk braids to
match.
For the luxurious cloth gown, em
broidery is the favorite decoration,
braids in various kinds and width
lending a decorative touch to the
simpler costume.
The linen suit of dark color Is very
practical and can bo very much re
lieved by a bit of soft white tulle
about the edge of the dark collur or
a whole yoke of white.
The prettiest materials for shirt
waists to wear with the brown suits
are the pongees, linens and champagne
colored batistes. Their tints harmon
ize beautifully with the softness of
