[LSO! {ARDWARE CO. B do not look to Paris to produce the best examples of tailored gowns, As in the making of shoes all the world concedes the American product to be the best, so in the pro- duction of the tailored costume Ameri- cans have set the standard for Europe, or for those Europeans who can grasp our conception of clothes made for utility and hard service but not devoid of beauty. A design by Paquin is pictured here developed in smooth-faced cloth. Par- allel rows of machine stitching, show- ing a perfection of workmanship in the most approved tailor-made style, appear wherever there is a logical position for them. Around the bot- tom of the tunic, down the front edges of the coat and about the bot- tom, at the edges of the belt and where the sleeves are set into the body, these rows of exquisitely regu- lar sewing challenge the eye to find a fault. Small points, made of folds of the cloth, as exactly uniform as the machine stitching, are set in under the belt. These decorations are tests of good tailoring. Turned-back cuffs and a flaring turn- over collar which is extended into & facing of the coat are made of a fig- ured corduroy velvet, and buttons on the coat and skirt are covered with this material. These elaborations hardly belong to the strictly tailor- made according to our ideas of its highest type. They suggest the visit- ing gown and make this an excellent model to follow where one desires a gown which will do service for both kinds of wear. The skirt {s longer than is the rule in street dresses. The tunic is set on to a fitted yoke and shows scant full- ness. The front of the coat is very like that of the last Poiret blouse and will be seen in the finest of blouses for the coming season. It is no re- flection upon the ability of the wonder- ful Paquin that she appropriates an idea occasionally—and makes the most of it. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. | Home-Made School Bags l HBE school bag is a great conven- ience to school children and a conserver of books, papers, pencils and handkerchiefs as well. It is bet- ter to carry the burden of books in a bag than in the arms. A bag leaves the arms free and does not interfere with the stride nor the proper car- riage of the body in walking. Bags are usually made of canvas, or of canvas covered with cloth. Hard twisted waterproof worsteds, craven- ettes or rubberized clothes will pro- tect the canvas stiffening which holds the bag in shape. Remnants of suit- ings or of cloths used for coats, in plain colors or dark plaids are select- ed to make the most substantial kinds. Fancier bags of plush, like that shown in the picture, and bags of leather are intended for older pupils. School bags are usually oblong in shape and measure about twelve inches in length and ten in width. They are cut in the form of an envelope, so that extra width must be allowed on one side to fold over and form the flap. The sides are joined by a straight strip of cloth from two and a half to three Inches wide, which is stitched between em. The same are turned to the outslde and finished with bindings of heavy woolen braid or strip of thin leather. All the edges of the bag should be bound in this way. A long, flat, oblong piece of cloth stitched to one side of the front of the bag makes a pocket for pencfll.' etc. At the other side a small pocket is placed, which will carry a drinking cup. A flap should be provided for | this pocket. The flap on the bag and those on the pockets are fastened down with snap fasteners. The bag of plush, shown in the pic- ture, is made of a single piece lined with Skinner’s satin. A small pocket is inserted at the front for the purse ! and handkerchief. The edges are dec- orated with a narrow plaiting of satin or satin ribbon. Three snap fasteners across the top hold the front and back together. Silk cord and tassels pro- vide the handle. This bag may be used for a shopping bag, but made to match a small neckpiece and muft, will delight the older school girls or the young woman in college, and add much to her comfort. Before undertaking to make a school bag it is a good idea to examine those shown in the shops. Only fairly sub- stantial ones are to be had from a do!- lar and a half up. The home-made varieties are cheaper and will stand more wear than the cheap ready-made bags. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
