Nose and Goggle Party.
A family of tun loving girls recently
gave an amusing party. It was called
a uose uud goggle party and helped u
number of young people to pass an
evening very merrily without much ex
penditure of energy and thought iu the
matter of a disguise.
Each guest wore n false nose and
goggles. The noses were purchased or
made by clever fingers of heavy card
board covered with chamois and were
not removed until after refreshments
were served.
As the guests arrived each was given
a curd perforated with ribbon run
through In order to wear the card
around the neck, so thut every one
could see it.
The cards had on one side n number
by which each guest was known, on
the other side a list of figures 1, 2. 3,
etc. (as many figures ns there were
guestsi with a space opiwsite each fig
ure for u name.
In the social conversation which fol
lowed each guest guessed who hla oi
lier entertainer was. Of course, with
intimate friends the familiar voice re
vealed the personality, but iu many
cases this was not easily done, if they
attempted to disguise the voice, mid
much amusement and many nbsurd
guesses were made.
As each guess was made the name
was placed opposite the number on the
card of the guesser corresponding to
the number of tho person with wham
he or she was talking. For instance, if
some one thought he knew No. 4 he
turned his card and wrote the name op
posite No. 4. etc. It was voted by all
the gay people who were present as no
end of fun and a most original way of
spending a Jolly evening.
When Cutting Striped Material.
One of the most difficult things for
the home dressmaker to accomplish is
the proper cutting of striped materials.
To be able to cut a striped dress well
is a proof that you are by no means u
novice at the art of dressmaking.
Skirts are always cut first. Lay the
material out flat on the cutting table.
1 and if there is no "up uud down" to
the materlul you will be able to lit tho
gores Into each other, cutting the ma
terial iu an economical way.
I Itemeiiilier to have the line of small
perforations found iu the center of each
gore of the pattern run straight with a
stripe. This will cause each cut edge
to be slightly bias and when Joined
i will look fur better than if u bias edge
was Joined to the straight.
Tin center of tin front gore must, of
I course, be on a stripe. Double your
I material before cutting In order to
j have both sides exactly alike. When
I cutting sleeves be sure the material Is
doubled and save yourself the trouble
of having one sleeve different from the
wther, thus ruining 'ic garment.
Stripes should run straight from the
shoulder to the waist Iu sleeves. Have
the stripes run straight down the cen
ter of the front and straight tlmvn the
center of the back wheu cutting the
bodlc'e. Alwity allow p'euty of mate
