Fastening the Waists.

With a few exceptions the best
results can be accomplished by fast
ening waist down the back. II the
waist Is fastened in the back one
knows that in following out de-
sign the plaits., tucks, or other trim-
ming will not be disturbed when
there Is no opening line from the
neck 10 the waist, and consequently
the design can be made more elab-
crate. 1t takes more time, to be
sure, TO struggle into a waist by
ones self which Is fastened In the
back, but It can easily be done, as
one knows, by beginning at the top
and pulling the back Of the waist up
little SO that the middle part can
be reached and then pulling the
waist back In place and finishing the
last few buttons. So many blouses
are made to fasten In this way that
/ 1t is a wise plan to have plenty Of
hooks and eyes or buttons, SO as not
10 leave a gap In the closing seam.
1t is more trouble. Of course, to fas-
ten the tiny little hooks than the
larger ones, but to get really gooa
results one must use small hooks.
and the TIMER they are the better,
and they must be sewed on neatly
and firmly. Don't use the little wire
eyes that come with the hooks, but
make the eyes out Of five or six loops
Of sewing silk and then buttonhole
these loops neatly. The advantage
Of these eyes Is that they are fiat and
do not show at. all when the gar
ment Is fastened. sS n
