"Xow that you mention it, that is another rood point about the rem nant, very often you can make a short length do when you start out with the firm intention of doing It. You know how it is when you buy goods from the piece. Your pattern aays 5 yards. You ' are so 'afraid you won i nave quite enougn in case you want to "cut that overskirt fuller or something, and you buy six. Then when you come to cut you find you can get the whole thins out of four. Now with a remnant you have, say. 3 34 yards to make the same dress out of." Oh, but Sally, it can't be done!" "Of course it can be done. Maybe you wouldn't want to do it with new goods off the piece, but let me tell you that it is a mighty good thing to know how to skimp and piece on a pattern. It's like knowing how to make a one-egg cake, even though you never have to make anything less than angel food. First of all, measure your paper pattern to the eighth of an inch. If you can save an eighth here, and an eighth there, you will begin to find that you can work your paper pieces into spaces that would be waste were you to cut exactly according to the pattern. Don't worry if little corners of the pattern overlap. . They are easily pieced, especially when it is under tne. arms on the waist or sleeve. Sometimes it is easier to -tret two packs out than one piece cut on the fold. Do it, and put a row of buttons or trimming down that seam which can come under a fold to look like closing. You can often piece a skirt under a tuck or a pleat. . Fagoting will hold extra length to a sleeve that had to he cut short. f Generally speak I ing. it is easier to add length to a sleeve than width. You can always face a skirt, you know, and it often sets better when you do. ' Fretting: and Fussing: Makes v Sewing Task Harder, Work la Easy if You Can Keep Yovr Head and Do One Thing: at Time.

The goddess Iris, in Greek mythology the rainbow; she was the daughter of Electra and ' the granddaughter of Ocean us. and so her flower carries in its petals the tints of sky and ocean It has the phanging, irradiant luster of the feathers of the peacock, the bird of Iris, a shimmering ecstacy of color, which is to be found in no other flower. The flower is difficult to describe. while the characteristic tint blue, there are odd combinations of soft purple and brown, yellow and madder brown, yellow and ' varying tints of lilac and purple. The color combinations at first glance are start ling and yet on close inspection they become right and natural. If the iris were difficult to grow it would take its place beside the orchid, in fact. it is often called the poor mans or chid." Most countries have native species of iris; the wild blue flag of Oregon hillsides and dry pastures is our na tive iris. Germany has no native va riety, but she runs true to form, here as elsewhere: she has simply perfect ed species from different countries and given them to the world as Ger man iris. It is estimated that the so called German iris occupies about nine tenths of the garden space given over to growing of iris. The fleur-de-lis, the national flower of France, is the species of iris which is native to the shores of the Mediterranean from fcpaln to Asia. The Siberian species re supposed by most people to be aquatic plants, but they will thrive well in gardens if given plenty of water. Irla Popular In Japan. The Japanese people, make much of the iris. They use its fleshy matted roots for strengthening the thatches of their houses. One type which we know a the Suzanne ia the Japanese flower of mourning: it could not be called beautiful it fairly drips gloom from its dark mottled petals, but it is most striking and interesting. Some varieties almost as expensive as the orchids come from Persia and the dry cliffs of Lebanon, but they are not for the amateur they are very difficult to grow. Then there are the Spanish and English iris, which have bulbs in stead of fleshy roots; the Spanish form has finely cut green spears instead of the broad sword-like leaves at the German type. By way of classification the Iris Is divided into two series the rhiso matus (fleshy rooted) and the bul bous. In the rhizomatous the subdi visions are rather bewildering there are seven eub-genuses, but only two pogoniris (bearded iris) and apogon (beardless iris) are commonly grown In gardens. Fogoniri sis the group in which we are most ineerested; it com prises the varieties of the iris Ger manic, together with the dwarf beard- grown as the Germanica, The German iris is perhaps the easiest of the worth-while flowers to grow; it asks so little in the way of soil and cultivation from the gar dener. The only stipulation which it makes is that the drainage must be good. The thick roots will be very apt to rot if water stands on them during the rainy season. The gardener should be sure that the soil is kept sweet the application of lime will help If there is a suggestion of sour ness. Poor,' rocky soil answers very well for the iris, but if it Is too thin and poor moderate applications of bone meal will be needed for fertil izer. It is possible to make the soil top rich,, which will produce rank growth, but very little bloom. The Germanicas will not need watering, though It will be necessary for the Siberian and Japanese varieties, which are more or less aquatic in habit. -Thorough Baking; JVerdrd. After the blooming season is over the iris needs a thorough baking in the sun in order to cure the roots. This characteristic especially recom mends It to the city gardener who is in the- habit of taking a vacation in summer; he may be away all summer if he desires and his Iris will take care of themselves. There is no other flower which will stand neglect during the hot summer months. Generally speaking the iris grower will secure splendid results if he gives his iris one-fourth -of the attention which roses or other spoiled garden favor ites demand. ' 1 Owing to this peculiarity the iris does not combine well with othei flowers, most of which demand water and some shade during the middle of the day. The iris must have sun all day Jong; there will be little or no bloom if planted in the shade. Low matting plants should not be planted among them with a view to covering the ground left to themselves' the iris will very soon Increase and fill in all the odd spaces. Even when not in bloom the broad green spears are attractive, so that an Iris, garden la never bare and ragged. They will make glad the south side of a stone wall where nothing 'else can be grown on account of the heat which the wall the lonely woman opened, her door wide to the cheery' little seam stress. v "They didn't want me todav at Mar- tin's, so I thought I'd bring my own sewing over and have a chat."

But when It comes to the humdrum stuff like fin bad arrangement: overcrowding in the vase results in a mass of color which Is not pleasing. Wide bowls with heavy glass frogs in the bottom to keep the spikes apart are very ef fective, for the beauty is of line as well as color. The Japanese fashion of arranging a single flower with a few spears of green Is really very charming for the iris. It is easy for anyone to start grow ing iris they are not expensive, that is unless rare new varieties are to be chosen.. The increase Is eo rapid, that even a small beginning results In masses of plants in a short time. Af ter a small number of varieties are gathered together it Is often possible to trade with other fanciers and thus enlarge the collection with little or no expense. Some enthusiasts plan to visit the iris gardens and choose one or two good - sorts which appeal to them each season? And, by the way, the only satisfactory way to choose an iris is to see it in bloom. There are some gardens in the vicinity of Portland where nothing else is grown and a visit to these gardens is well worth the time it takes. Ordering from a -catalogue is never very satis factody, for even if the blooms are pictured they give very little idea of the real beauty of the flower. A discussion of partticular varieties woufd be of little value, for there are so many to choose from and at best I could only name those which make a personal appeal to me. The begin ner will profit if he learns to call each variety by name, for he will know what he Is ordering, and tnen, too, there is a certain satisfaction In, be ing able to address a flower familiarly by its first name. REMNANTS ARE BIG SAVING ; IT'S ALL IN KNOWING HOW H TT'M! See Blanks are advertis ing a big remnant sale for today," said Sally, reading from the .Extravagant Girl's paper while the latter finished her break fast. "You can usually pick up good things fit their sales." "Oh, but Sallyriremnants are such a gamble 'and such a bother, too! Don't you think so V "Can't say as I do," declared Sally. "They're a gamble if you go after them hit or miss or without knowing the real value of the goods. Then, I admit you can often be etung and find you are paying full price. But I've had a lot of luck with remnants. Sometimes, when I have had a hank ering -for a special kind of dress or waist that I really couldn't afford to buy at the regular counter, I just wait till a remnant sale comes along, and I can pick it up so cheap then that I don't feel extravagant." "Well, of course, I see your point. I always feel about remnants that you buy them because they are cheap and stick them away and forget them. just bundle up your work and ring the next doorbell and have a nice neighborly chat . while your needle flies. Sewing alone, with your mind rac ing along with your needle, will make you nervous in no time. Of course, we all have to do it. But I find it works out better, instead of using the sewing time for planning meals, fill ing chinks in the budget, going over old quarrels, or imagining new ones as so many of us do when our, hands are busy and our minds Idle, to plan a definite line of pleasant, calm thought, much the same sort of thing you would choose to think about while trying to go to sleep at night. Think oi old friends, good times gone by, and so on. Reminiscing is always less .strenuous than planning for the future. "And then do not sew too steadily. Never sit more than half an hour over your work. Jump up from your chair and walk around the room a few times, go to the window and peep out to change the focus of your vi sion, run downstairs for a glass of water or a nibble at a cracker. It breaks the tedious strain. And I find, too, that it is a good plan to have something at hand like a few salted nuts, some small hard candies, fruit or cookies in the afternoon when the sewing gets tiresome. Stop ping just long enough for nibbling on these breaks the monotony, too. ','You can't be too particular about the light in your sewing room. Never sew where you can't push up the blinds and pull back the curtain. Never sit facing the light. Let It come over you Jeft shoulder. Move your machine so it does the .same thing for that, too. At night have a high-power green-shaded lamp to drop over your ;work, or else wear an eye shield. It Is easier to work on all black if you lay a white cloth or paper on your lap, but try to leave the work on dark goods for daytime. Some women like to sew in a low rocker, but it always gives me the fidgets. But whatever kind of chair vou choose see that it is low enough I so that you will not have to hitch your heels on the chair rung. I find a footstool Is about the handiest thing in the sewing room. And don t bend over your work. It is the worst habit you can form. Bring your work up to you. If you once get me started on this subject I won't stop, there is so much to be said about having the right kind of sewing tools. Some day I'll tell you what I think about that'."
