Dressnaking
Hints

YHEN sewing buttons on frocks
w for little girls. let them be
placed on the wrong side OF the
upper piece and work the buttonholes
upon the under side. This will keep the
buttons hidden and they will not catch
IN the hair and break 1t, nor viii they
mar the neatness Of the pigtaiI One
must DO careful that the sewing OF the
buttons win not show upon the outside.
In making friils Of soft material. such
as muslin. lawn, batiste or chiffon, a
second gathering thread should be run
in under the first. This makes the frill
hang more evenly and obvfates the
necessity for stroking with the needle.
which is never to be recommended ex-
cept in the case OF cotton fabrics Of Q
coarser nature.
Some OF the new Jne-piece gowns OF
summer materials are threaded below
the line OF the knees with a soft satin
ribbon, which is tied little to the side
of the front. 1t is an effective finish for
a simple gown OF batiste or one OF the
numerous dainty swisses.
