Their morn popularity naturally makea tliem and or Icaa of a common draw adjunct, on this account It la eonnklerrd someto originate a thing of an achievement raqulra-ment- a atyla of belt that morta the of the faahlonabla woman of tha day. Leather bclta hava fallen to tha level of the monntonoua and allk girdles ara not new. all of which makea tha advent of a tailor belt constructed ma-of wldo braid with a trim buckle eo th! ny of a pleaeant occasion. Think of being abla to make your halt at homo, too, which la quite poaelbla with tha one that la fully deacrlbrd hero. Many women balk at tha tbouyfat of wearlny homemade dress accessories almoat aa atronyly aa they do at In yowna of home manufacture. They conjure up visions of frightful atmcltlra that proclaim to all tha world that they have been manufactured ecoBut I nomically and amateurishly. defy anyone to detect tha liand of tho little home oeamalrraa or even of milady lustraherself In tha accompanylny tion a. and yet tha woman who made this belt doesn't know a tailor s yoosa from a brood of chickens. Tho desiyn of the belt Is simplicity itself. Thera are no fancy ornaments to make It too dressy fur shirtwaist suite It looks csropliuuxlly well wth plain waists, ami at tlis an mo time it adds a pretty touch to a cost unis that Is made to reveal a httla of tha bodice tictwcen the top of the skirt and the lower part of the JarJot. Ko many of the new coats ara huJIt to disclose the (lyure at tha waist th.a w are Inclined to behave either that the coat model la responsible for the increased fondness for extra fins belts or that because the baits themselves ara so pretty women refuse to have their charms hidden To round this difficulty coals are shortened very much all around, except Just In front. Kot tha least attractive feature of this belt lies In Its adaptability to tha figure. It la soft, yet possesses enouyh foundation to retain a becoming breadth as it wrinkles yracefully ntiout the waist. Tha material used for makiny this belt Is a very wide silk braid that Is heavy, and Is woven In a lone basket pattern, which yives tha braid a bias appearance and permits It to stretch. A yard of ilia braid Is more than wliat la alto-yeth- er. gt TTiEZJFtxrrr cr 'Zjm m VYEzrrJ. piny ths edyea well ao that there la no further chance for them to fray tha trick Is greatly simplified. When turned rlyhtsida out this will ylva you a perfectly shaped pointed tab on lha end. and then tha llnlny can ba fitted under the edyea without Increasing tha bulk and ths whole basted down, ready to be togi-ther- . ili-.I i i, i' ...r i,. ro.il Machine stltclilny looks best on this belt, and, besides. It gives a very nccue- -. aury firmness to the ends and the edges. One ruw Is sufficient for ths long sides, though taro rows doss together are very pretty, but tbs point must be done with not less than Tour or five rows to givt It firmness and make It hold tta shape. Without reinforcement of tho stitching this part of tha belt would get askew and look flimsy, while Its whole beauty Ilea In Its trimness, which yet lucks nhy stillness. . At this point It Is well to determine upon the desired or required length of ! the belt. The yard Is. of course, much j too long for the average waist, and. be- sniuo. the sli vlclilog of Uie In a ul til l number of Incl.c but to the original r. this is rather uu advantage. Fold lli belt around the waist, and after allow- : ing an inch for turning under ahvre the bitvkle goes on and about four more shank of the Inches to pass through buckle and Itava loose after it has been securely fastened, cut off the extra : inches or whatever Is left over, it iuay be one or it may be eight Inches. The next step In the inauulacture ot this licit novelty depends upon the skill j of some other workman, for even the j cleverest novae cannot put bines or j i'u'ne tnvlal eyelets through a inbne. ths belt in tills state ot ineumplrlcnrsa to bell specialist or a custom shoemaker pf lugh class and gi t him to Insert four or five large brims eyelets, if the buckle is brass or gilt, hnd be sura to see that the eyelets tit the tongue of the buckle.

It isn't necessary to hava very large eyelets, such aa thuse used on many of the new low aliovs-- ln fact, a rather small one looks better. With this rest accomplished, which Is one. the belt is far from being a e practically finished. All that Is left for the maker to do is to attach the buckle. and tins is too simple to require much the shank fur that purpose description Is there nn.l all the trick require Is lo slip the nuckle In place and finish the end ot the braid ns neatly and fiat as possible. Of course, a small hole must be punched through the middle of the end to make a way for the longue, but even ilmt Is not difficult. As I said in the beginning, the style of buckle is all a nmllcr of taste, but Hie choice ot a plain gill ohe with a narrow run an a slender longue Ovnl buckles seem lo is recomii'i give a pi- - i'ler iippearaiv e to ths waist, and wil'i t'.is blind which crushes up threa-quarte- ra stitched. vide yourself with a generous length of it. To lino tho belt enough soft silk or satin la needed to make a Was strip the sauia measurement ns tho belt, and lor a buckle Individual lists will have to decide upon whether It Is to ba one of slit, pearl, gun metal or silver. The first step In making the belt is to cut tho piece of lining allk to correspond with tbs length of tlia braid and a trldle mors than Its width, Lay It trier the Inside of the belt and baste It firmly at both edges. In fact. It la a very good Id's to put the silk on just a little full, W It Is essential to have It stretch to the same extent as ths braid. When the edges have all been neatly turned nndcr ona end of the belt la squared off, to be finished later with the buckle, and the other Is fashioned In a point or winy. Here lies the most difficult feat of this particular hit of tailoring, fur the braid la pully." and at first It seems alniust impossible to i yet It to lis fiat and look trim and even. Tha beat way to accomplish this task Is to Inks this end of tha braid and duubls the two sides making a crease through tho middle, and then run a lillle main nernes as you I.v taking It. were making a enough srum so that tbe braid j-fnr- 11 ' "" J1" I Is l"i :i r than tec l oi a li u kle that Is so make lh' lo aid spread only aliHhiird tc i c hock I'1 is it'd lmtrjd of si leg a tapering that rather far apart end arranged i i ence. io:irl In a! its imiWivn a very vhermir. : hi. glory nr-is fur while hra'il htits suitable hr black, aid wah he rids, u ur.i. a. mist tiny deblurs, br v P-main sign aril t:v.:i rlul looks sen think is ! select su'vithi-- s rum. s .iin-gi- .t unis nt;d lull:, lire atiric- set with t'.'i.

A variation of tho braid belt described has two very narrow rows of gilt braid following along each edge and leaving a n the outer border of the foundation side. Again, a broad piece of gold trimming la stitched right through the middle of tha belt. Thera ia the charm r.f novelty about these belts, but they lack the smart air that characterises the less ornate style. I have only touched upon tbe change In womens waists, but later on 1 hope to go more Into details regarding tbe altered fashion. It Is true, however, that It takes fawer Inched to go around the faehkmable woman! figure than It did a year ago, and wlda belts now flourish where they would have lookel awkward and exaggerated then.

Leaving a margin for tha coat of putting in tha eyelets, which should not le very much, such a belt could be made for 12.50. end nowhere could It ba found ready made, with tiia aatne quality nf materials used, for less than twlfe that amount.
