EVENING GOWNS

The corsages of evening dresses are reduced to the simplest expres- sion. because it is the fashion to be very decolleie. and they are of some other material than the dress itself The fashion Of blending the effect of the decollete with the neck of the wearer is by means of graded tones of the filing of which the final layer is of tulle or muslin. which is flesh color The illusion of the cor sages, resing lightly on the neck although modesty is carefully pre-. served, is the completion of all the new evening dresses.

GOOD SEWING ROOM SENSE

When darning a rent in woolen goods. and it is impossible to ravel out the goods itself for thread to darn with, use long hairs from your own head. The loose weave of the wool loses the hair in it's meshes. and so the darn becomes invisible.
 The best way to clean rusty needles is to run them up and down in the earth. Just go out in the garden and stick the needles in the ground. then pull them out. Have the needles threaded. with the thread tied dou- ble, so there will be something to catch hold of to extract the needle from the earth. This method is even better than using an emery bag.
 When buttons come off shoes and you sew them on again, run through all the other buttons with the same thread with which you replace the missing one. It will strengthen them all and make the next button sewing task far in the future.
