same time the silk is constantly break
ing out in little splits. This young wo-
man keeps her waists in order and
wears them long past their allotted time
by repairing the Sits with court plas-
ter For dark silks she takes black and
for light colors she has white or delicate
pink.
She cuts the plaster in long thin
pieces, moistens it scantily and applies
it on the wrong side of the silk after
drawing the laps Of the split closely to-
gether. Then she runs hot iron over
it. If the tear is where she cannot get

plaster down we'll with her fingers She
then lays the silk back in its fold, and
no one would ever suspect its being
mended. This same young woman

skirts, but in such cases the result is
not nearly so satisfactory
