ones spirit always sweet, and to
avoid all manner of petty anger and ir-
ritability-that is an idea as noble as
it Is difficult.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
BUTTONHOLE MAKING

To make good buttonhole is a
difficult task and much care is re-
quired in the making, says the Pough-
keepsie Evening Star. In the first
place, the hole should be cut so that
the button will just slip through
easily without stretching either side,
using the regular buttonhole scissors,
if possible, as these can be regulated
to make every hole the same size.
Otherwise, use sharp-pointed scissors
measuring each hole with a piece of
cardboard marked the correct size.
After the hole is cut, whip 1t over
and over with the cotton or silk
which is going to be used in the
working, using three or four stitches
on each side
Take couple of stitches over the
end of the hole draw the thread
along to the other end of the hole,
and take two stitches in order to hold
it in place, and then draw the thread
to the starting point and catch fast
When this is done whip or overcast
the raw edges to the hole all the way
round, thus preventing them from
fraying.
If the cloth is inclined to fray very
much, it is best to bind the edges
with some seam binding tape or a
thin strip of silk, and then work
over the entire surface of the bind
ing with heavy silk, cotton or linen
thread.
To work the buttonhole. place the
needle through the cloth the distance
away from the hole that the outer
edge of the stitching is to be. throw
the thread over the needle and draw
the needle through, pulling the thread
firmly toward the cut edge, and con-
tinue in this manner all along the
edge of the hole.
The butonhole should be evenly
worked all around and finished at the
starting end with an over and over
stitch, fastened on the under side
