acts as an incentive to sew and many
q woman has been induced to try her
hand at dressmaking By the sewing
week."
At this time the fabric and notion de-
partments are particularly active and
the display OF new and novel articles
is especially emphasized. There is. for
instance. fabric shown that Is guar
anteed not to fade from washing, sun
light or perspiration. While taking the
mendation may as we'll be taken into
consideration, especially since these de-
sirable qualities have In no wise ad-
Vanced the price of the material.
The new button forms are a convent
ence to- the home dressmaker. They
can be had In a large variety of shapes
and sizes, and are readily covered with
chiffon, silk. leather. velvet or what
ever material Is desired They are in
three sections. the Top, the disc and the
screw-eye. and are simple to manipu-
late.
There is a. dress banding to be had
that Is made on a curve so II will fit
the waist. This obviates the necessity
Of pleats and as 1t Is REINFORCED by
stays, II will not wrinkle.
The new bouffant effects require a
distender. There is fabric to be
used rs interlining that will produce
the fashionable fare that Is an essen
tial quality OF present modes without
the use of boning. For distending the
edges of tunics hip draperies oI
fiounces there is light tubular cord
piping that can be used on the fllmiesl
fabrics. II is sold by the yard and
can be had in black and white.
Weights are now being offered In the
form OF mercerized cord, into which
tbs weights have been woven at rcgu
lar intervals. This Ia also sold by the
yard, and comes In black and white.
Do not waste time TO cut bias bands
You can purchase the bias fold tap'
in various widths. II turns itself and
can be sewed on by the machine with
out basting-a great convenience to th'
busy seamstress.
No one would think of sewing oi

teners have replaced these, but th'
snap fastener tape will be found ever
more convenient. These tapes come II
