DRESSMAKING AT HOME.
DRESSMAKING AT HOME. By salvia. A Smart Walking Skirt. Those who are contemplating holidays do not need reminding that one of the most important items of the outfit is a neat skirt, sufficiently smart to carry one through the time, and be suited to various occasions. All the new French skirts are made with pleats —quite flat ones, which do not add to the out- line. but give freedom when walking; and suøh a model as that sketched in No. 1.693 is not only up-tio-date. bur, is a most becoming design, par- ticularly [0;: matronly figures. It is a two-piece affair, as you see from the accompanying diagram, where the two portions comporting the pattern are arranged on singie- widrh 43-inch goods, opened out to its full width, as only one of each piece is required. Arr.-nge 1 -■ f hive shown, being careful *•• • :v- '> *•(' front even with the selvedge line of the fabric, which is a PATTERN NO. 1,698. very importanit detail. Having done this, outline it carefully, marking the notches, positions of pleats, &c., and then cut out, allowing ample turnings at each of the 6eams, and also enough for a. hem—after, of course, ascertaining the length required. When this is all done, run a tacking-thread up the centre of back and front, and also round the outline. Next turn up and hem the lower edges, being careful that both sides are exactly even; fold and taok the pleats, then turn in the right edges of the gare-that is. those which have a piece sloped out at the lower portion, snipping them in the corners; tack, and arrange over the respec- the corners; tack, and arrange over the respec- tive edges, tack .the darts, and fit on. The placket-opening may be in the front or back, as preferred; but, personally, I think the front is better, as I have left a good piece on for the wrap of the placket-opening. If the skirt fits nioely, stitch the edges a6 you have tacked them, also the darts, which should be a wee bit loose; I DIAGRAM FOR PATTERN NO. 1,698. neaten the inside by binding, secure a taped spring fastener to the jjlacket. neaten the edge of wrap; turn in the waist-edge, stitch, press the edges and seams, also pleats, and secure a wide, firm petersham band, which should be made 'to fit tightly, to the inside of waist, felling it to the sti-rched upper edge. and so neatening the turnings. Remove tackings. sew on the buttons and oordf. as in the sketch, and finis-h off neatly. The will require 2 yards of 44-inch or 48-inch goods. A Child's Cro.v!ins Sint. The next, pattern—Xe. 1.603— depicts a gar- menir which mothers of .man; in the crawling, or even toddhnc. stage should welcome. -i ts shape is very clearly seen in the .ketch, where you will notice that it is decorated in front with an elephant, to add to its ch-.inv) for the wee per- son who is to wear it, and which can be cither sewn or so ncillod to the from: of ri.e garment. It is. of course, quite an optional addition; but a I PATTERN NO. 1.699 small detail like this, in bright colouring, will help to amuse the child, and is, therefore, one not to be lightly regarded. If applique, Oi' sewn to the garment. the shape can be copied horn a toy-book, or any- thing containing anirmds of elementary shape. Red twill forms an excellent medium for applica- tion but any other may be selected. If sten- cilled, it will 'perhaps be better to chooee plais material; whilst the pattc-ri can be copied from the same sourre a8 for the applied design. The garment, which will alao do for a paddling suit—minus the animal decoration-is realised in striped drill or zephyr, and consists^ of two por- tions — ;i kimono-'like, long waisted bodioe, seamed at the urder-arm portions, and short, very full, baggy knickers, into which the petti- coats may be tucked and kept clean whilst the small person is pursuing his investigations on all fours. These knickers are ga,thered and secured to the upper part. and drawn in round the kneefl by means of an elastic run through a hem. Tho neck of the crawler ia finished off with a fin* stitched piece, cut to shape, the back open- ing being hemmed and fastened by buttons and buttonholes, whilst the wrist portions are set into cuffs, which, like the band, are cut selvedgewaye ofthemateri.d. 0 About 2 yi;:• ds of 36-inch goods will be needed.

BRECONSHIRE INSURANCE COMMITTEE.
BRECONSHIRE INSURANCE COMMITTEE. A Border Difficulty. Doctor Criticised. A meeting of the Breconshire Insurance Committee was held at the County Hall, Breeo:, on Friday afternoon, Mr E Swales, in the chair. Others present were Miss Philip Morgan, Mrs B C Bridge, Miss Adelaide Williams, Dr Albert Jones (Crick- howell), Dr G P Francis, Messrs J Pritchard (Talgarth). Idris Da vies, W R Price, Evan Davies, H D Jones, John Prosser, J Howells, D Evans, T Prosser Jones, James Powell, A Gwynne Vaughan, E F Cockcroft and Wm Roberts, with the clerk (Mr Edwin Davies). The Clerk read correspondence with regard to a complaint made at the last meeting by a man named John Watkins, Half-way, Trecastle, that he had had his medical card signed by a Llandovery doctor. but when he was ill that gentleman refused to attend him. A further letter from Wat- kins stated that he bad lived at Trecastle for the last 15 years and bad not approached anybody to sign his medical card besides the doctor mentioned. The Clerk wrote to the Llandovery doctor and in reply received the following telegram Re Watkins decline to attend Breconshire patient." Following the telegram the doctor wrote stating that when Watkins sent him his ticket for signature he kept it till the man personally called, and then inquired as to whether he was in Carmarthenshire or Breconshire and Watkins declared that he was on the Carmarthenshire side of the boundary bridge, but that week be found that to be untrue and so declined to attend him. He (the doctor) had written to the Carmarthenshire Committee to remove three patients (including Watkins) from his list, as they resided in Breconshire and bad asked the Clerk to deduct 6s 9d paid to him in respect of these persons, from the next quarter's allowance. The Clerk in- formed Watkins of the nature of the doctor's reply, and received another letter from him asserting that be did not mislead the doctor, that he did not tell him be lived in Carmarthenshire, but told him that he lived in Breconshire. Mr J Pritchard said he was interested in this case because Watkins was a member of j his lodge at Talgarth. It was no use quibbling as to whether Watkins was insured in Breconshire or Carmarthenshire it was plain that the doctor bad been paid by the Carmarthenshire Insurance Committee in respect to the man, and he felt that they ought to deal officially with Carmarthenshire. He therefore moved that the Clerk be instructed to communicate with the Clerk to the Carmarthenshire Insurance Committee pointing out that a Llandovery doctor had accepted the medical ticket of John Wat- kins, that he had declined a request for medical attendance, and also had declined to attend the man after request by the Breconshire Insurance Committee and drawing attention to the fact that the doctor had already been paid by the Car- marthenshire Insurance Committee for Wat- kins for the first quarter. Mr Evan Davies seconded and criticised the action of the doctor in declining to ) attend Watkins. He thought it was a question of vital importance. Dr A E Jones asked if the doctor was on the Breconshire panel ? The Clerk No. He could have been on the panel. Mr J Pritchard thought the doctor ought to have attended Watkins and then rectified the matter between the two committees. Dr Jones said there was very often & difficulty on the borders and even the inhabitants did not know whether they were in one county or another and he did not think the committee should pass what was equal to a serious vote of censure on the doctor. For his own part he would have attended the man (hear. hear), but this man was not a Welshman and he had not the local knowledge which they as Welshmen had. He did not think they should blame him without making inquiries. Mr Pritchard said they did not blame the doctor, but rather wanted correct informa- tion from the right quarter. Dr Jones remarked that one of the previous speakers had almost made him out to be a sinner. Mr E Davies He is not a saint. (Laughter). Dr Jones went on to say that the doctors were probably the hardest worked and the best—(Mr J Pritchard: "Paid" and loud laughter). They were anxious to work amicably. Mr Davies said although be held the doctors in the highest respect, he could not be too severe upon the doctor in the present case. The man might have died from want of attendance. I Mr Howells (Brynmawr), felt it was one of the most glaring things that had been before the committee and he thought the resolution was mild and ought to be stronger. Eventually the resolution was adopted. DR. BRIDGES' SERVICES. On the motion of Miss Morgan, seconded by Mr J Pritchard. a letter from Dr Bridge, asking for some recognition of his services, was referred to a committee consisting of the Chairman, Miss Morgan, Messrs J Pritchard, Idris Davies and Dr Francis AGREEMENT WITH THE INFIRMARY. It was decided, on the proposition of Mr Pritchard, seconded by Mrs Bridge that an agreement be drawn up with the Brecon Infirmary providing that if a person who has no dependents is medically treated at the Infirmary the sick pay be handed over to the authorities of that institution. ON THE PANEL. The Clerk reported that 14,000 out of 18,000 insured persons were on the panel in the county. MEETINGS IN PUBLIC HOUSES. On the motion of Mr Prosser Jones, seconded by Mr Price, a resolution was passed expressing the meetings gratitude to the Welsh Insurance Commissioners for prohibiting the holding of the meetings of approved societies in public houses, and thanking other bodies for offering their premises to the friendly societies for meetings. VOTE OF THANKS. This being the last meeting of the "provisional" committee, a vote of thanks was accorded the Chairman (Mr Swales) for the manner in which he had conducted the business.

Casde Crab, Disserth, farmer, for £7 10. said to be doe in respect of wages. Mr A. L. Careless, Llandriudod Wells, appeared for plaintiff, aud Mr A. Gwyuns- Vacgban, Builth Wells, for defendant. Mr Careless, iu his opening statement, said that in Ootober, 1912, Mr Bowen hired plaintiff by the week at the rate of 10s. per week, the arrange- ment bting made at the parents' house at Howey. Worthing was ont when defendant arrived, but the latter waited till be came ie, aud they had tea together and subsequently the bargain was made. Plaintiff gave evidence in support of this statement, adding that the hiring took place ia the presence of bis parents. By Mr A. Gwynne-Vaughati The conversa- tion between him end Bowen about the wages took place in the house and not on the road. He remembered asking Mr Bowen one night to let him go, bat he refused to give his content. The reason that defendant sbid no was that he did not wina to pare with him. It was right- that Mr B:;wu) said to him that if be left hia Service be would not pay the balance of wages. I Mrs Worthing, mother of the plaintiff, said she heard defendant asking her son to come to his place to service, and the reply was "yes." It was stated that plaintiff would be engaged by the week and that was agreed to. Mr William Jones, J.P., Delbertbog, said be was a large farmer and hal been farming for fifty years or more and he bad always fouud it the custom cf the district for the eervaut to give the master notice or fcr the master to give tbesorvaut notice if there was cause to do so. Thin custom is generally understood. He had a man who was leaving hie service on the follow- iug Saturday, because he had given him notice to do AD. Defeudfofe swore the bargain with Worthing was made outside the house on the road. T hey Hrrr.nued wages at tbe rate of 10. per week, but be told him that be could not hire him by the wftek, as it weald not do for him to hire a man who could leave any time be liked, and Worthing cacao to his service on that condition. He did not pay plaintiff weekly, but had paid him some small sums. Oue night he was told by Worthing that he wished to go becanso hq could get better wages thrnl he was receiving, and be told him that he would not pay his wages becaose he was leaving his service when he was wanted. Ho bad sustained great 10"8 by plaintiff leaving, and lie had beec obliged to keep onc. team of horses iole in the stable. Plaintiff banded hiort a month's notice and be refused fo accept it. His Honour asked was the notice handed over to him. Mr Careless said that the notice was the one Mr Bowen refused to accept. It was thrown down in the wood aud picked up some time after, Mr A. Gwynne Yaughan contend, d that plaintiff's father shcsld have been calhu as Wi-ll as the mother. Mr Cureless saia that he would be pka- ed to bring the father to Court if the egse was od- jonrned. His Honour observed that it was very import- "Bt tb»t the father should be called.
