cHILDREN's DRESSES.

II is often question how long a
child's dress should be. but up To the
age Of s or . years the answer is sim
pie. Place the child on its knees on a
table and turn up the hem until the
lower edge touches the table. When
the child stands. the dress thus meas
ured will exactly reach the bend OF
the knee and give IL graceful effect
in walking. beside which il viii be
even all around and viii not have the
ugly dip at the sides so often seen in
one piece dresses.
Many summer dress materials. espe-
cially cottons. shrink the first time
they are Numbered. and there are some
that shrink little every time, thus
causing sedmstresses a great deal OF
extra work i'm letting out hens and
seams. All this can lac avoided by
having materials of any washable ma
ture thoroughly wet dried and ironed
before they are made mp. This extra
foresight and precaution will amply
pay for the trouble.

FOR THE sEAMsTREss.


When Joining a bias piece of mate
rial 10 straight piece as i'm sewing
up skirt seams always keep the bias
piece underneath. as this prevents
stretching.
A piece of paper placed under
thin material, win prevent it pucker-
ing, and the paper is easily torn away
when the seam is finished
Buttonholes on shirts should be
stitched around with strong cotton
thread just outside the buttonhole
stitch while they are new. If this is
done, they will last as long as the
rest of the shirt without tearing away.
In sewing on hooks and eyes. espe-
cially down the front of the bodice,
they should be buttonholed on; they
will thus be firm with half the num-
Der of stitches otherwise required. and
viii not become loosened nearly so
easily
When sewing black cotton mate
rails, always use silk thread, as the
black sewing cotton turns rusty very
quickly and spoils the looks of articles
ON which the thread is used.
When sewing on buttons, before you
lay the button on the garment, put
the thread through so that the knot
will be on the right side. That leaves
1T under the button. and prevents it
from being ironed or worn away, thus
beginning the loosening process. Be
fore you begin sewing, lay a large
PIN across the button so that the
threads go over the pin After you
have finished filling the holes draw
out the pin and wind the thread
around and around beneath the but
ton, making stem to sustain the pull
ing and wear of the buttonhole.
When the sheets are beginning to
get thin i'm the middle instead of
tearing them down the middle and
sewing the edges together. leaving
the thin part at the sides. try patching
them by laying a large patch of well
than the original of the sheet, and
