EASY ADJUSTMENT OF FRlLLS
Device That Goes Far Toward Ma
king Life Easier Is Described
Below.

Among the latest ideas for making
life easier are frills ready to be ad-
justed, with few minutes work, to
the underclothing or the flap Of a
blouse or pillow cases.
These frills can be had in various
designs, some of them the material
hemstitched or with lines of drawn
work edged with torchon lace; others
with tiny lines of beading, again fin
ished with embroidery or feather
stitching.
For infants clothes these Fittings
come with tiny edges, and there are
quiet openwork effects on heavy linen
used for pillow slips.
The method of adjusting is to buy
them, gathered into a featherstitched
band, or one edge of the material has
a loosely woven thread, and all the
worker need do is to draw the thread
to the desired fulness.
