The neatest way to make a homo
dress intended for actual service in the
kitchen is, according to my idea, this:
A well-fitting tight waist and full skirt
the latter sewed to the waist by u
welting cord, and finished with a hem
five or six inches deep according to the
height OF the wearer. Made in this
way, they are very easily laundered.
and no one need have an excuse for ap-
pearing in soiled dress at home, even
though Obliged to do her own washing
and ironing. In starching these navy
blue dresses put plenty of blue in the
starch, and also add one tablespoonful
of salt to every gallon of boiled starch
This will make them iron very easily

ber of these, or as many us you can af-
ford, you will then need to m"GSe some
