No. 126,, Take the pattern of the piece to be ! mlatten and pinning the paper to tile exact size and shape needed. Remove I the s l!pper, and cut out the fitted pat tern in material (allowing for turn- I nigs), four times, as each Insertion |. should be lined. Then pin and aftercards seiv to the inside of the slipper

one of the pattern pieces, and sew another piece to the outside, turning in all edges neatly*, of course, and stitching lining and outsid e together. To strengthen the top edge, bind it; or if the stuff used for the insertion Is very limp, run a piece of narrowclastic through a hem or under the binding at the top, as this will keep the slipper well up at the back. EGYPTIAN SILKS FOR BLOUSES. Although there is no change whatever in the actual patterns of blouses from those we have been wearing, novelty is brought about by variations of detail and, above all, by new materials. The newest blouses are of Egyptian foulard and patterned tussoria. The feeling is strong again for thrce-piec e suits, and the blouses belonging to the smartest models arc worn outside the skirt waists. Tailors prefer this style to the tuckcd-in waist, and are finishing their blouses with deep, straight bands that cover the hips loosely, and are trimmed, maybe, with lines of fine braid, or they drape the blouse-waist, and add cafrochons or material buckles. The blouse of Egyptian foulard, illustrated, came straight from Paris and belongs to a three-piece suit. I lie skirt and coat of-which, arc of navy blue gaberdine. The. novelty of the design lies in the yolk, worn outside ment fastening. The foulard is in bright, mixed'colours, and the yolk, developing into .a. centre-piece, ami the. battlements are hemmed with black satin, with which also the colthe shoulders, and the crossed-bat t lelav and cuffs are lined, the 1 oil-over edges revealing the satin. A clmrm of the. collar is that it is (’overly arranged to fold back, so that it can be worn fiat, forming a black satin laydown collar to the yolk. The frontwaist is draped and buttoned to a band, hemmed With black satin, that encircles the rest of the waist. A black satin, upturned hat, with plumage arranged in the new way, is illustrated with the blouse. Tailors are making their new skirts to wear with blouses, as illustrated, of broad-clot ll and satin. The two skirt ji they... lu.voSu*riuisf are those slight I v draped and those severely simple, with right front crossing over to the left find hanging in a straight line to the loot, exceeding, slightly. I lie length of the left front. The corresponding coal may pass the length of the blouse, or extend only to the upper line of the belt, nnd,_ if the sleeves are wide, may even ex-’ pose the cuffs of the blouse. Coats of this tvpc nre generally worn open, and arc always loose-fitting. The smartest are much braided, unless fancy cloth be used, as is often the case for coats, though the skirts will probably be of plain cloth.
