a foud-day clothing school at
Mrs. H. L. Corbin's house about |
2 miles east of Dover. Mrs. w.
A. Schowe, Mrs. Harrison of
Waverly, Mrs. Jesse Neer, Miss
Anna Windhausen and Mrs. Ar
thur Steele of the Hazel Hill
School District, all of communi-
ty Is and Mrs. H. L. Corbin and
Miss Anna Mae Darnell of COM
munity 10. The attendance was
perfect until Wednesday morn
ing when Mrs. Schowe was cell
ed away by the sudden death of
her father at the Confederate
Home.
The school work consisted of
making well fitting foundation
pattern. These we're all draft
ed and fitted the first day. The
second day, teddy-bears were
drafted, cut and fitted. Any al
terations we're carefully noted
and when necessary new pat
terms were drafted and cut. The
third day petticoat patterns
were drafted, the petticoats cut
and fitted. These we're complet-
ed by noon. After lunch each
member of the class drafted her
pattern for a house dress. The
styles varied from a modified
Chinese dress to a one button,
reversible front dress with a
fitted skirt. Patterns were
drafted for dresses with kimona
sleeves and with set-in sleeves,
dresses with normal waist line
and long waist line., In fact ev-
cry kind of house dress was eth
er drafted or discussed SO it can
be drafted by these women.
AS the selections of styles
were made the line of dress suit
able to the different figures
were discussed. Not only the
general lines of dress were dis
cussed but also the seam lines
so it is very important to place
the seams so they cover any de-
feet in the figure and make il
seem normal. Colors were also
discussed.
The dresses were cut and fit
ed the third day and almost
completed the fourth day. The
afternoon of the fourth day was
taken up in a discussion Of dec
oration. Decorative stitches
were copied from samples sup.
piled from the Farm Bureau of,
flee. Finishes for necks of ted,
dies and bottoms of petticoatS
and teddies were copied.
A demonstration was given in
the cutting of collar pattern;
and cuffs.
All went home feeling they
had completed a very worth
while course and are ready tC
pass on what they learned K
eight other who feel they neeC
to brush up a bit on technique
and art in dressmaking.
The members of the class
were not the only ones who prof
tied by the school. There were
from four to six visitors daily
1t was interesting to see these
women come back the seconc
and third day to gather more in
formation and carry home moi
only ideas of how to dress more
artfully but also patters which
any one is more than welcome
to. Indeed they are urged t
make use Of any hint or hell
