HICHEVER way you go about it, cutting out a frock is a tricky business. You may do the cutting on a table, or get right down to it on the floor, but either way the vital piece of the pattern. always seems to get lost.

That's where this pattern wins, It is made in one piece. sleeves and all, so cutting it out takes half the time and saves your temper too. When you come to the making up, you will find that the sewing instructions are illustrated by diagrams, so that you can't go wrong in the stitching and finishing off. '

The apron is entirely separate from the dress, with the iden that you can have two or even three and change them around. Make the dress in wool and the apron in satin or crepe in a contrasting colour-black and white, for instance, or crimson and blue, brown and beige. It is a good idea to have one apron plain-coloured, the other patterned or flowered,

ant To Go With Cocktails

HE spot of hot weather last week set me thinking about holidays. Not my own, but the arrangements here at the office while I am away. It's just as well to have things settled well in advance.

So I asked Mr. Fothergill whether he would prefer to have some one from outside to depulise for me.

"So ye're going to abandon me to a strange female?" he said. "Well, it's best to have one that's already in the office. At least she'll know what I'm talking about maybe half the time. But don't ye gel-me-a-little-snip-of-a-thing.

"She must know how to talk on the telephone-and she must be able to do the work properly-and she mustn't be scared out of her life. Have a look round and plck me one that ye think will do.'

Well, that is a bit of a job in a big office. But, after some surreptitious searching.

I discovered title Miss Phillips.

Personality - typing

MISS

TISS PHILLIPS is one of the Junior typists. iter work, I know, is good, and she has a sense of style, too. Style is one of Mr. Fothergill's foibles. "Look at this," he said one day, throwing over to me a letter he had just received. "Not a single mistake on that bit of paper-und not a thing right about it. A typewritten letter, Miss Drew" and he cocked a fatherly eye at one, "should have as much personality as one that's hand-written."

I looked at the letter. The nome and address of the frm was printed rather enmpactly in the centre of the sheet.

But: the typescript, instead of being in alignment with the heading, straggled right across the page with not more than an inch of margin.

It was a fair-length letter, but unparagraphed. If it had been set in single spacing instead of double, and broken up into two or three paragraphs; I would have looked much more arresting, and would have been much easier to read.

Punctuation

COME men dictate both punctuation and paragraphs. But it they don't, bear in mind that punctuation is equivalent to the drawing of a new breath when speaking.

It is supposed to make the meaning clearer, not trip and confuse the mind, as haphazard commas and colons do.

Mr. Fothergill thinks that on a wide-hesded paper the date und name of the recipient look best sel at the top; on n compactly centre-headed paper the date' close under the heading, the better set fairly high, and the name and address at the foot is better balance.

These are some of the things Miss Phillips must be told if she takes over. Also to be sure to address people-particularly titled people correctly; to keep. a list of letters passed on to other departments, so that they can be easily traced and not to be scared of by dour but südden-smiling Mr. Fothergill,

Style

MISS

ISS PHILLIPS has other more personal virtues. Though she is not particularly pretty, and cannot afford expensive clothes, she is the only

girl in our general office with any apparent distinction.

To begin with, she is one of those people who never have a hair out of place. Or maybe, by doing her hair simply and securely-what are hairpins for?-she has made herself into one of them.

She has a good skin, as all of us could have, and uses make-up with discretion. And, praise be among so many solemn faces, she often smiles.

She never wears dresses of cheap-looking material. She never wears exaggerated styles, which are seldom successful in inexpensive clothes, even if they looked right In an office. And she never wears dresses with a lot of bits and pieces on them.
