Work Regarded Superior to That of
Women, Due to Certain Knack
for the Work.
“This costume is the style you want,
inudame, but it is considerably more
expensive than the one at which you
have been looking,” said an assistant
ut a big shop. “Oh, yes, the material
is the same, but the cut of it is much
better, and it is man-tailored through
out."
It sounded as if the last part of the
sentence ought to be sufficient to ex
plain everything, and there is no get
ting away from the fact that garments
which
are “man-tailored” have a
great superiority in appearance over
women’s
tailoring
work— and,
of
course, are much more expensive.
It is not a matter of sex prejudice
or imagination, for there are few
trades which are so fully open to wom
en as various branches of tailoring.
Ituther is the superiority due to the
greater physical strength of men and
a certain knack for the work which is
natural to some men.
“Tailoring is not exactly a trade
which anybody con learn,” was the
opinion of a leading tailor. “High-
class tailoring is a real art, and some
men are born for it lq the same way
thnt others nre born to paint great
pictures. Very often the tailor’s gift
is hereditary from father to son.
"There are three main reasons why
women tailors are Inferior to men In
the work which they turn out. Women
have not sufficient physical strength
to do the heavy pressing which makes
or mars a garment; they cannot ap
proach men where ‘cutting’ is con
cerned, and the general finish of wom
en's work Is not so good as that of
men— in total effect rather than de
tail.
"Until comparatively recent years
tailoring was purely a man's trade, but
now there are scores of women en
gaged upon It. The bulk of wholesale
work, consisting o f average price
men’s suits and women’s costumes, is
done by women, so far as the actual
making is concerned. The cutting of
such garments is usually done by ma
chine.
“Certainly the superiority of the
‘man tailored’ suit or costume is not
a fallacy. Women enn do excellent
work, but they are not such good tail
ors ns men in the results they achieve.
Their work is less definite. Moreover,
it is a certainty that if you took a
tailoring expert into a mixed crowd
of men and women he would unerring
ly select which garments had been
‘man tailored’ and which were wom
en's work."

The determination to build a home
H not arrived ut hastily; and after
that object has been fixed In mind '
there U required on the part of u
Rieut proportion of home builders the
saving of raouey enough to make the
first payment of such an amount tliut
the contractor who erects the home,
the lumber and muteriul dealer who
furnishes the materials, and the bank
er, who many times supplies the
money, are assured that the builder
will stick to his determination, (let
ting ready to build the home requires
time in many instances.
After the
site is secured and the prospective
builder has reached the point when
he will enter into the contract for the
erection of the home, then comes the
time to select the design of house that
Is wanted.
Ideas of what is ideal in a home are
us varied as taste in dress. Some build
ers would have nothing but a bunga
low, while others would have anything
hut a bungalow. A great number of
builders, however, have fixed upon the
stucco house as the most attractive
in exterior appeurance and select a
design for this type of house. It is to
this class of prospective builders that
the house shown in the accompanying
illustration will appeal.
Here is a stucco house that will give
the builders about the maximum
amount of home for his money. It Is
of frame construction, with stucco ap
plied to either wooden or metal lath,
forts that the American family wants,
and ahso have combined these com
forts and conveniences with exterior
beauty.
However, what appeals to
one prospective builder will not appeal
to another, and by securing a lurge
number of designs practically every
Individual will find just about the
sort of home he has visualized as be
ing the kind he wants.
To secure home-building Ideas a
visit to the local architect, the lumber
and muteriul dealer, and the contrac
tor who will be asked to bid on the
building job w ill be worth while. These
building specialists all have available
a wide range of homes, both perspec
tive view and floor plans. With these
pluns before them, prospective build
ers will be able to select the home thnt
meets his requirements and can be
built for the amount of money he
wants to invest. But in going over
these plans it will surprise anyone
how much real enjoyment he will get.
Home building now Is popular be
cause it is the best and practically the
only means of securing a comfortable.

I
ors in Greater Demand.
Already the showcases In ribbon de
partments prophesy the coming of the
holidays, for a lot of new und beau
tiful articles for wear and for house
hold use have made their appearance.
Lingerie ribbons, hnir bows, shopping
bags and many other kinds of bags,
slippers and sashes are always in de
mand. but they grow In Importance
with the approach of the holidays,
since nothing Is liked better for gifts.
This year wilt see them more popular
than ever because they are less extrav
agantly priced than other gifts that
hare equal charm.
All women like pretty furbelows and
therefore they choose them ns gifts
for their friends. The pretty lingerie
bows, garters, rosettes, clasps, sachet
and powder bags— and other bits of
finery made of ribbons require time
und palus'sklng care and these add
more value to exquisite little gifts
than can be measured In dollars and
cents. A few of the novelties which
will figure in this year's holiday dis
plays are shown in the picture above.
At the center of the group there is
a shower rosette made of narrow satin
ribbon, usually in pink, but pretty in
any light color. The rosette Is made
of many knotted loops varying in
lengta. with Ihe short ones at the cej>
ter. These, with a few short ends,
are sewed together at the base of Ilia
loops. Eleven pieces of ribbon, also
of unequal length, and each having a
little bow at one end. are sewed to tha
buck of ihe rosette, wldch Is then fas
tened to a medium-sized safety pin.
This rosette Is to he used on a night
Cress or petticoat where It is pinned
to place when wanted.
Two pairs of garters are shown, each
made of a plain satin ribbon shirred
to a flat elastic hand. Each of tha
garters at the left Is ornamented with
a double bow of ribbon In which a rib
bon pansy Is set and two buds. The
pansy is painted at the center. The
garters at the opposite si.de are finish
ed with small clusters of ribbon flow
ers. The group includes little rosettei
of ribbon with tiny ribbon or chiffon
roses at the center, each fastened to
a small safety pin. These are used
wherever needed, ns on the shoulders

or some one of the various sheathing
materials designed for this type of
home. Being rectangular in shape, it
is the least expensive to construct.
But by the addition of the sun parlor
at one side, and the garage ut the
other, It has a well-balanced, attrac
tive appearance, enhanced by the pan
eled effect in the gable.
The dimensions of this house are
only 26 by 36 feet, but it requires a lot
60 feet or more wide, as the sun par
lor projects 10 feet at one side and
the garage 20 feet at the other. How
ever, the garage may lie located at the
rear of Ihe house, or may be smaller,
as this was designed to hold two cars.
The advantage of having the garage
adjoining the house is that the heat
ing plant in the home may be used to
warm the garage, which is well to do,
as it prolongs the life of the tires and
makes the machine available at all
times.
While the home as shown in the il
lustration is set on a brick foundation,
concrete may be used. The basement
extends under the whole of the bouse,
Including the sun parlor. The size of
the basement provides plenty of spuee
convenient ami attractive place in
which to live. Rentable houses are
scarce, and the person who moves now
adays is glad to get any sort of shel
ter. That is where the home builder
is better off thuu the renter.
BEWARE OF INEFFICIENT MEN
Supposed Interpreter, Unable to Inter

From Prison Term.
A. It. Hawley, president of the Aero
club, told in New York the other day
an inefficiency story.
“Beware of the ineflicient man,” he
said, “for if you have dealings with
him It is you, not he, that will suffer
from the inefficiency.
“A foreigner in outlandish garb,
claiming to be an Armenian, came
here to solicit funds last year for his
compatriots. It happened that another
Armenian was arrested at the time,
and the first chap was asked to go to
court and act as his interpreter.
“Well, he reluctantly consented to
net, though the truth was that he knew
no Armenian whatever. Anyhow he
stalked into the courtroom, listened in
grave silence to the prisoner's passion
ate protestations of innocence, and
then turned to the judge and said in
a low voice:
“ ‘Your honor, my compatriot has
confessed all. He begs yon, however,
to be lenient for suffering Armenia’s
sake.’
“The Judge thanked the Interpretei
warmly'for his services and then sen
tenced the Innocent prisoner to five
years at hard labor."
