Once before J Pierpont Morgan was
hailed as the saviour of the republic.
It was afterwards discovered that what
he had actually done was to buy front
^ the government $200,000,000 of bonds
for about $11,000,000 less than the
market price. He then sold the bonds
to the people and pocekted the differ
ence. With such salvage, salvation is
a profitable employment.

'.NEEDS MUCH CARE
DRESSMAKING AT HOME BY NO
MEANS A “SNAP.”
Only Thorough Practice Will Give
Proper Results—One Fault Par
ticularly Common with the
Beginner.
The proper cutting, fitting and fin
ishing of a dress can be done only
after thorough practice. Accuracy in
i the small details will do much to make j
fhe garment perfect; another matter j
which is often neglected is the careful i
handling of the parts, so that they are j
not stretched out of shape. Careless- ;
J ness about this latter will cause the i
dress to fall into unsightly wrinkles at '
the seams.
! The last-mentioned fault is iiartieu- I
' larly common among beginners, and j
when committed is very difficult, and ;
in some cases nearly impossible, to
remedy. Every piece of figured ma
' teriai must be cut out separately, and
not on the double, even though the
pieces be identical in shape, for this
material seldom folds quite evenly.
Velvet and all such pile materials
should appear dark when held against,
the wearer, and checks and plaids
match both lengthwise and widthwise
in every piece. Stripes may either be
cut on the straight and treated the
same as plaids, or cut on the cross
and the lines made to fit with each
other.
It always pays to shrink cloth be
fore making it up, for by this, later
damage by shrinkage is prevented.
Wring out an old sheet in water,
leaving the sheet quite wet, however,
and spread it out on a table; then lay
the cloth, unfolded, on the wet sheet
ahd roll up the cloth and the sheet at
the same time. Let the sheet remain
this way over night, then spread it
out and press It smooth.
Cut out the pattern after it has been
laid on the cloth, and mark the perfor
ations out with chalk. With the help
of correct patterns, some of the diffi
! cuities incidental to fitting may he
avoided. However, very few figures
follow the normal line exactly, and a
certain amount of overfitting is by no
means uncommon. Sometimes this is
caused by tho alteration of one part,
thereby throwin another out of line.
When tliis occurs the whole garment
has to be refitted.
MODEL OF MANY USES.
Costume That May Be Made Available
for Numerous Occasions.
The costume shown is a generally
isei'ul model that could be made up in
soft broadcloth with handsome trim
mings for calling or church, in soft
ihallis or cashmere for house wear or
J
IEL.
in handsome silks for evening, with a
vest of handsome lace. The surplice
effect of the blouse is always becom
ing and this season almost ali bloudes
are made-with a vest,effect. Some of
the extra’blouses are ..almost garish
in their ■ many materials and fatjcy
vests, trimmings of buttons, etc.(-but
these waists should be bought only by
the woman with a large wardrobe and
a fat purse. To wear a waist of these
'■ bright plaids every day would be
I deadly, but if you can have many and
| wear the gay one once in a while all
well and good.
For the Slender Woman.
Occasionally we hear the slender
woman is the style of the season,
though goodness knows that the angu
lar girl takes little comfort in the J
assertion in her favor. This season j
there are dress types which the slen
1 der girl is going to find to her advan
tage. In the shirt waist line1'there
| will be found the various styles with
broad shoulder effect. The double
1 plaits over the shoulders, the outer
| ones covering the upper sleeve gath
1 I erings, is an accepted style which is
1 becoming to almost every slender
1 woman. Then there is the square
bertha efTect, which has the same good
points to be considered. The jumper
waist would be a poor pattern for
most women if it did not have the
broadening shoulder caps or the man
darin sleeves. This winter's coat,
with the broad shoulder effect and
mandarin sleeves will be a welcome
change from the V>rim long coats of
i last season, which fitted over the
I shoulders and boasted only the ordi
i miry straight coat alcoves.

A WAIST
“WRASTLE”
By JAWSES W. FOLEY
"I’ll be ready. John, just as quick as
you come and button my waist for
me.”
"Yes, dear.”
"Don't begin at the bottom, John.
You can’t button a waist from the bot
tom. Begin at the top—in the coliar
there.”
"All right,” said John, cheerfully.
Pt-nse.
"What’s the matter, John? Can’t
you And the buttonholes?”
"There, I've got the first one,” said
John, triumphantly. "By Jingo, I
haven't, either. I've got it buttoned
into a hole in the lace. I'll have tc,
unfasten it. There—now we're get
ting along.”
“You're awfully clumsy, John. How
many buttons have you got fastened?’
"I’ve got one, all right,” lie-declared.
“This lace collar is the hardest part
of it. I guess it'll be plain sailing as
soon as I get that done.”
"Well, let us see. if I can do that,”
she said a little impatiently, twisting
around before the mirror and putting
both hands back of her neck.
"You've got the second one buttoned
into the third hole,” said John, watch
ing her manipulations. “Maybe I can
fix it now; my fingers are rested.”
"Well, for goodness sake, hurry, or
we’ll be late. I’m getting all tired out
standing up here, and my hair’s com
ing out of curl. Can’t you hurry a lit
tle?"
"I’m hurrying as fast as I can,” he
suggested, amiably. "It’s new work
for me, you know. I don’t see wha;
they make waists button up the ha(
for, anyway.”
“Have you got all four buttons
the collar fastened?”
“Are there four of them?
gracious, I thought there were only
three! I missed the third one—the
collar’s folded down so. I’ll have to
unfasten the last one and button the
third.”
"Well, John Dixon, you are smart!
Didn’t I tell you there were four but
tons on the collar?”
“I didn’t hear you. dear," he said,
meekly. “Don’t twist around so.
You’ll have the second one out next.
There—I thought you would. Now
i’ve got to bogin all over.”
“My face is getting so red I’m
ashamed to go anyhere,” she began,
dabbing some powder on her nose.
"How far down are you now?”
“Don’t raise your arms up that
waj ” he cautioned her. “You make r
it gape in the back, and I can’t, button
it at all. There—the collar’s all done
now, deario. Just a few minutes
more. One—two—three—four—five
six—seven—eight—” he counted slow
ly. "Only seven or eight more. Now!
ibat’s all hut the hook and eye.”
"What makes that, little bulge up
there near the top?” she inquired. |
looking sideways into the mirror.
"Wall, I declare, John Dixon, if you
haven't missed one of the top but
tons, and got it all buttoned crooked!
Well, you are a smart one!"
"That don’t make any difference,”
said John, soothingly. "Nobody will
ever notice that.”
"Now, John Dixon, if you think I'm
going downtown with a hump on my
hack like a camel and my waist but
toned crocked,' you’re mistaken! Be
sides, I’m so warm and tired I don't
care whether I go now or not—so
there! You can unbutton, the whole
thing, arid5I’ll take it oif and stay at
borne.”
Tears.
l or goodness sake don’t, cry over
a tittle' thing like that,” said John in ,
distress. “I’ll button it up again in a «
J .fry.”
> "i’m not crying over the waist. I’m
crying because you’re so cross and
mean and hateful. Don't start to but
ton it ’up again. I don't want it but
toned.”
“f wouldn't act like that, dear,” ho
protested. • “There isn’t any use quar
reling about a little thing like button
ing a waist.
"I'm not quarreling,” she declared,
tearfully. “I’ve stood up here for half
an hour, until I'm' all tire4 out, and
I’ve been just as patient as I can be,
and you say I am quarreling.”
Mere tears.
“Haven't xgu got another waist that
buttons easier?” he suggested. "May
be I could button another one in a
minute.”
“No, I haven’t,” she said. “They
all button down the back.”
"Then I guess we’ll have to give it
up," he admitted. “I'll telephone down
and tell them not to hold the tickets.”
"Jqim Dixon, do you mean to say
you’re going to miss that performance
because, you’re so stupid you can’t
button my waist for me?”
"I don’t soe how I can button it if
you won’t .^let me try,” said John,
meekly.
“Who said anything about not let
ting you try?” she retorted, tartly.
"The trouble is you didn’t want, to bo
bothered about it in the first place,
and you didn’t try.”
Two or three minutes later it was
all done. John bent'Over and kissed
her.
If you had tried in the first place,
dear," she said, “instead of being im
patient with me and not caring, wo
would have been spared all this
bother.” m
”i know, I know." he agreed, hum
bly. “But It’s all right now, isn’t lt?’jte
”1 do hope my eyes won’t be red,'^,
she murmured. "And Jehn, tell me, is f
my hat on straight?’’.—Success Maga- *
