Is There a D~ressmaker Whose Sewing
VIII Not Rip?
] wonder il there is a woman living
whose sewing will not rip. One reason
why the tailormade gown for women
has become so popular is that when once
made it "stays put" Till it is worn out
the seams usually hold 80 tight that it
will tear often before it will rip. When
will women's d~ressmaking hold together
like this? The gown made by the woman
dressmaker looks pretty and stylish. She
has pinned it in place here and tackled
1t there till it seems to answer the pur
pose very well. But wear it a dozen
times and you are lucky if the whole
side of your skirt does not rip out on
you suddenly some time. The beastly
lacking" comes out and hangs in
threads, the skirt facing tears out and
trails in disreputable festoons after you
on the street. After a gown made by a
dressmaker has beer worn three weeks
it frequently has to be sewed all over
again. This is why the man dressmaker
is popular. I adore women, but when
will they make a garment that won't
rip7

Members of the Boston branch Of the
association of collegiate alumnse have
formed a political science club for study

socialism and anarchism. 1t Is to be
hoped they will not neglect the govern

seasons work to tell how many United

has.

Congregational church by the confer

passed an excellent examination 1t is a
great satisfaction to find that most of
the women who now seek to enter new

the professions are passing away, and in
their place come ladies who are thor

a brush. She said this and sticks tc
it, and the Mormons, seeing she will moi
take back the statement, propose to 81
