HAVE A SYSTEM IN MENDING
VIII Save Much Time and Trouble.
and Garments viii Be In Order
When Required.

There is nothing on earth like sys-
TEN. and nowhere do you realize this
more than in matters of dress. The
tiny hole in your stocking that you
might have mended in two minutes
grows into an undarnable run, the
rip under the arm in your new blouse
extends alarmingly; nothing that must
be mended stays where 1t Is put. !"
The remedy for all this is a regular
mending day or a regular mending
evening II you are business woman
As soon as a garment needs mending
If 1t be only button or hook that
must be replaced. put 1t aside unless
it is SO necessary that you must at
tend to the trouble at once. and when
mending day rolls around do the re-
quired sewing You will be surprised
| to find how much lighter your work
becomes when you can thus catch
rents and tears at their start instead
| of at their disastrous finish. The 9th
er point to remember Is to ALWAYS
have your sewing implements wh.ert
you can get them and in perfect order
Do not wait until the very moment
for mending to find that you are ou
of white thread or that your needles
are rusty When a thing needs re
pairing, repair 1t; when 1t needs re
placing. replace 1t. 1t might even b.
well to have a preparation" day Il
