TO QUESTIONS ON DREssxAK1Na.

Is braid used on the bottom of
skirts and what is the best way to
apply it? M. T.\J.
1t is always advisable to protect
the bottom Of a skirt with braid. It
is best applied fiat, hemming it at
the upper edge to Che hem or facing
of the skirt, and allowing it's lower
edge to extend less than one-eighth
of an inch beyond the skirt edge.
Braid should be shrunk by dipping
it in water, then pressing dry with
a warm iron. If wide braid is used,
it will be advisable to make q row
of running stitches through into the
facing, about one-cuarter of an inch
above the lower edge.
