apron or piece Of lingerie.
2. A set of ten demonstration
pieces to show Fundamental processes,
such as buton-holes, hemming, etc.

each girl in the class was $1,000.

selves but there were number of
garments made for others than those
in the class. Several made dresses
for their mothers, others for sisters.
