Insurance Axon Batsnn, of HOME DRESSMAKING. One of the hardest features of dress- making for those dressmakers who are self-taught, is the mdam skirt for street wear. It is an easy matter for any one who: has any knack at all about dressmaking to make good looking summer gowns, so long as the d'ress is pretty in color and light and airy in effect}; it is not gazed at so aritically. But the skirt of the street gown is another matter. It continues to be plain or nearly sq, and when made by an experienced person, seems as if carved“ 50 correct is its every fold. Bu't wlben' made by the amateur it is very apt to be about in the middle of the firont and long on the sides, and in- stead of having that smooth effect about) the foot, it falls into a series of hollows. There is no use of saying it, is easy to make a. perfect hanging 010mb skirt. In is not easy. Brut any half-way oom- petentf person can, with care, improve upon the majority of skirts seen every day. There are several fashionable designs for skirts this spring. Tlhere are gocred skirts lined throughout with lining and oultside made up together, and there are gored skirts made with a separ- afte ”de" over a foundation skirt to which it is joined only eat the waist- band. Tibere is also the circuiar skirt, which has bulb one seam, and this is sometimes lined, and sometimes made in drop style. Tlhe Ukirts are lined so that the seams are all twrned toward the outside. This leaves a smooth finish upon the under side of the skirt. Cloth skirts require an. inner facing abomt the foot to pre- serve tlhe smoothness. and to give the flare that is so fashionable. The best stiffening is heir cloth of the best grade. It does not pay to buy a cheap quality. The good grades are not heavy and they give a. buoyancy that nothing else can. Then, too, good .haircl-oth. will last as long as the skirt I does. Poor grades of hairclotlh and oth- er poor stiffenings soon loose their stiffness and leave who skirt in an un- enviable condition. bum. .. ..--- .- , the velveteen or braid that is used to ptrotect the edge of the skirt. The seams; of the lining are tmrned toward the. oulten‘ drop when the skirt is com- plated- .- 1 0 l 9.. L- 1‘... lznnr‘ When the skizrt is to be lined throughout, the lining is seamed sep- arately, and the haircloth, after being seamed. is laid against the wrong side of the lining and stitched into place. along the top edge. 'Dhen the skirt breadths proper, seamed and pressed, are fitted over the lining.. placing the hairclotah between the lining and out- tihB case of the foundation and drop style of skirt. This gives an interlin- ing. that is held by a row of stitching on the lining at the top, and by the outside at the foot. Haircloth» as well as all other lirnings should’ he cut on the grain of the lin- ing and outside. Lap the raw edges and and stitch and then cover each .raw edge Wilth a scrip of lining stitched down on each side of the sUrip. This ents the hairs from ravelling and working through the goods, as it is sure: to do if left with maw edges. Home dressmakers do not pay enough attention to basting. By basting lib- erally, half the tret and worry will be overcome. The pressing, too, is a very essential feature of a well fitting mg and outside. La; and stitch; and uh edge with a smip down on each side prevents the hairs working tbgr‘opg‘h 't lbg'umly.

When we come to count over the qualities that endear our friends to us, almost all of us think first of cheer- fulness. Sunshiny men or women, who bring a bright thought or word or ev- en a glad smile with them, are always welcome as the flowers in May. Each heart knoweth its own bitterness, each soul has its own troubles and trials and vexations, and so we turn to the one who can lighten our sadness with the radiance of a cheerful spirit. Sunshine of the soul is largely a matter of cultivationH for there are but few so unfortunate as not to have had some grief. The selfish sit down and brood over their sorrows. They give themselves up to fits of despondency and moodiness, and are a kind of mor- a1 wet blanket on the pleasures of all with whom they come in. con-tact. They tell you their sorrows and hedew you with their tears until it seems there ‘must be a kind of luxury of woe in l which they rejoice. ‘ I O I. ., ‘A__‘_ After all, the cheerful'spirit is but an example of “that brave attitude to- ward Life" of which Stevenson wrote. It is a courageous bearing of inevitable burdens; a determination not to fret and not to add to the sorrows of the world, the griefsg o; ‘one's own heart. ““ ‘-_-â€" A woman who had had many sorrows and heavy burdens to bear, but who was noted for her cheerful spirits, once ‘ said in explanation: “You know: I l have had no money. I had nothing I 4 'oould give but myself, and so I made. ‘ the resolution that 1 would never sudden any one else with. my troubles. I have laughed and told jokes when I could have wept. Ihave always smiled in the face of every misfortune. I have tried never to let any one go from my presence without a happy word or a brighlt thought to carry with them. And happiness makes happiness.
