SKILL in MENDING
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
OF WIFELY ARTS.
Many Garments Can Be Saved from

and ServIeeabie II Prop
erIy Handled.

In darning damask a square OF card
board is basted ON the right side of the
cloth and the darning is done on the
wrong side. The worn edges of the
hole should not be cut away. thus
making square or round darned
patch; instead. the Jagged edges are
left and the needle woven skilfully in
and out until the space is filled. Start
this mending one-half inch outside the
hole and continue until the rent is en-
tirely surrounded. These stitches
must be taken SO they will not show
on the right side, and the needle
should be passed through the raised
pattern of the damask. taking up the
threads as though one were darning,
and in working back those left are
taken up, and SO on, just as one would
darn. This strengthens the linen
around the hole and prevents the
darned hole from tearing away, as is
always the case when it Is not rein
forced, thus making the last state
worse than the first.
The holes that come from ordinary
wear and tear are mended in this way.
but accidents will happen and jagged
appear some time. These require
different treatment.
II the knife cut is discovered before
1t goes to the laundry the trouble Of
repairing is lessened. for all that is
necessary then is to draw the edges
together on the right side, haste
strip of cardboard over the rent and
darn neatly on the wrong side. as d.
rected above. In this case the rein
forcing previously described may be
dispensed with, as the linen will not
be thin on the edges of the cut as it
always is around the edges of hole.
or course. one must go outside of the
cut sufficiently far to give the neces-
sary strength, but the aim in this
work is to conceal the darn. When
complete, cut away the stitches on the
edges together
Surprising such a rent has not been
discovered until after the linen has
been laundered, then the simple darn
ing will seldom suffice. Instead darn
the cut and at the back hem down
neatly a strip of white linen tape.
This should entirely surround the slit.
Three cornered or other jagged
tears are more neatly mended II the
tape is used. When possible do the
darning first and apply the tape after
ward, but when the jagged edges are
very open the better way is to sew
the tape at the back and darn down to
1t on the right side.
