It's as big a piece of news as ths invention of the sewing machine a step forward in the history of home sewing.
 !Mhen the old style pattern had Sots and clashes. You find printed in- stfuetions, so that you can read hess to sew. Everything you need Co know about the cutting and put. ting together of the garment is printed right on the pattern-an arrow for the straight of the goods, numbers to show the joining of parts, words always, instead of puz- zling perforations.
 Full directions are printed on every piece, so that home sewing becomes an easier, pleasanter task for wom- en who now make their own clothes. And it makes home sew ing possible for the many women who have always wanted to senS, since it is truly the pattern with the puzzle taken out.
 If you are among the many women ! who have lacked the courage to cut into fine piece of fabrie-you may depend on this wonderful new, im- proved pattern, since the simple, printed instructions make it difficult for even an amateur to go wrong. A visit to our new Mccall Pattern Department will be we'll worth s while to every woman interested tn
 home sewing.
