YouU like the feel of the new fabrics when you sew them, then again when you wear them. Patterns employ all the latest style tricks, and theres no reason why you cant come out with clothes that look as though they had been purchased from the vnartest shops If you dont consider yourself professional enough for a strict tailoring job, and still want a suit, why not choose one of the new soft bolero style suits? These are for girls as well as for their mothers, and look equally attractive. Another new wrinkle in the fashion picture which has been used extensively with the bolero type suit is the print blouse that goes with the skirt. In some cases these are attached to the skirt, so that when you remove the bolero you have a dress.

Fit Your Patterns Carefully No matter how excellent your pattern, it will not do you Justice unless you fit it to yourself. Very few of us coincide with pattern and this means measurements slight adjusting. Those of you who have had experience altering clothes know its much easier to take in a dress thats too large than to enlist material for use in a dress that's too small. The same is true of patterns. Its better to buy the next size larger in a pattern if you have one or two measurements in excess of those given on it. Tucks are easy to take on those portions in which you have smaller measurements. Patterns do not run the same sizes as ready-mad- e dresses, so its best to check measurements before buying.

"It is to ask you a question. Is there anything ahead in my life that will make todays difficulties and humiliations worth while? We live on the fourth floor of a New York City apartment house far downtown, the letter goes on, It is one of the thousands of high, tenements crowded brick that form more than half of this city. The ones down our way are older, dirtier, more crowded. We have four rooms: parlor, kitchen, two bedrooms, bath. There are eight of us: my young brothers of 17, 13 and 7, a sister of II, Grandma, Mother and Dad. Joe and Matt sleep in the parlor; Henry with Mother and Dad; Grandma, my sister and I have a room so gmaU that there is no space for a chair.
