The home-dressmaker who undertakes to make an up-to-date
lingerie frock must draw heavily on her stock of patience, for
its success will depend upon the multiplicity of its small but
effective and dainty trimmings. A few lielts of German Val. lace,
many rows of tucks and some fine shirring are not enough.
There must be various kinds of lace, or a combination of lace
and embroidery, tucks on the straight and lucks on the bias,
medallions inset and edged with single, double or even triple
rows of lace edging, insertion intertwined to form a geometrical
pattern, and for the yoke and sleeves, lace of one weight inset
into lace of another. On some of the smartest dresses of this
sort, three sorts of trimming appear and yet the effect is not in
congruous or inartistic, aijd it is the skillful combination of
fabrics that tests the home sewer's talent and patience. Many
women have ceased to attempt the task of making elaborate
lingerie frocks, for factories arc turning them out in such pro
fusion and such triumphs of trimming and tinting that there is
really little or no economy in making the frocks at home.
Here arc sonic actual figures in lingerie frocks. A home
dressmaker bought twelve yards of batiste at 45 cents a yard.
As the gown was to be made princess and she was slender, she
selected baby Irish medallions in a good imitation at 75 cents
each to form her girdle. The medallions were long, narrow
ovals, and it required eight to form the princess girdle effect.
Three bolts of German Val. lace, at $1.00 per bolt, were required
for making the geometrical figure above the hem of the skirt,
across the bust, outlining the yoke and finishing the sleeves, with
a bolt of narrower edging at 75 cents for finishing touches. As
she was .too thin to wear a now-necked dress, her yoke was
of Irish all-over inset with medallions made of the German Val.
insertion, pinked out with flat ruchings of Val. edging. This
all-over cost her 75 cents more. Counting shields, small findings,
buttons, etc., her gown passed the sixteen-dollar mark without
a stitch of work. Later, she found that at various of the local
shops she could have duplicated her dress at the same price,
without setting a stitch herself.
To-dav's drawings show some of the newest models in lin
gerie frocks, which retail from $12.50 to $25.00, and which will
offer suggestions for home dressmakers ambitious to show their
skill in needlework.
Quite the newest model is the panel princess gown which
comes in white, pale blue, pink and lavender mercerized batiste.
The panels are of fine tucks, bordered by German Val lace in a
clnny pattern. The sleeves show medallions of guipure veuisc
edged with tinting of Val, and the yoke shows a combination of
batiste ruchings with the Val lace, finished with a guipure veuisc
medallion.
Another one-piece frock in mercerized batiste offers a pretty
decoration in Wall of Troy design between the skirt section and
the ruffle and across the bodice above the waist line. All these
insets arc of French Val, which also forms the girdle
with insets of baby Irish medallions.
A frock for a slender woman in mercerized batiste has a skirt
laid in narrow folds and bands of cluny lace, edged with a
pointed Val pattern. The pointed yoke, reveres and sleeves are
made almost solidly of batiste guipure, cluny and Val edging.
Simplest of all, but very effective, is the little gown made
entirely of fine tucking and German Val insertion and edging,
the insertion being set on in a wavy pattern. A single baby Irish
medallion finishes the deep yoke, which is made from fine pin
tucks.
Any further information about these frocks or any topics con
sidered in this department will be cheerfully answered on receipt
of a self-addressed and stamped envelope. No questions, how
ever, will be answered in these columns.

"Baby's Staff of Ufe"
Why' It Makes Healthy, Strong Babies
(J First place it's a wheat food.
J Why? Ask the doctor; he will tell
you that all the elements needed to
make firm, rosy flesh and strong muscles,
bones and teeth are locked up in a kernel
of wheat and in no other grain. And
there's no sugar in it. Why ? Because
sweet foods make flabby fat and not solid
flesh.
ffl 'And there's no pepsin or other medi
cine in it. Why? Because none is
necessary. It's own food properties make
it easily digestible. Babies so weak that
they can't retain or digest anything else
thrive in it. It helps and strengthens the
little stomach not only for the time be
ing, but for all time. In short, it's an all
, around, natural food one that all ba
bies need and crave and not hhtff
else.
fj Try it for sick babies it will make
them well. Use it for well babies, big
or little just see how they will grow!
How sturdy, strong and happy it will
make them, what appetites they will
have, how sound they will sleep.
