Dress form making has developed

would rather make dress forms than

! The whole business of developing a
process which was carried on among
the kingly 5000 years ago, was start
ed In 1919 in Washington, and has
been conducted by local leaders who
were shown the method of making
the forms by the county home demon
stration agents or the state extension
clothing specialist. and In turn be-
came responsible for training groups
in their own community. Each wom-
an making form promised to help
four others.
A single local leader In King, Sno-

many as SO women in this work,
while Mrs. B. B. Thornton of Cheney
probably leads the state in helping
instruct SO women in the making of
the paper tape dress forms. The
work has given the women confidence
In themselves, developed friendly
community spirit and cooperation and
has given universal satisfaction.

Washington women thinking they
have received a sudden jolt, for word
has just been received that the dress
form is over 5000 years old. Among
the removals from the tomb of King
Tutkanhamen there was included a
tailor's dummy, lifesize with head
of the king attached and used in try.
ing on the royal robes.
However. there is a difference be.
tween 5000 years ago and today
Only kings had dress forms then,
while today few rural women In the
state are without their paper tape
form. Since the introduction of the
paper tape dress form by the clothing
specialist of the extension service of
the State college, four years ago,
l0,032 forms have been made by
rural women.
Another difference between the
tailor's model of the king and the
Betty" of Mrs Modern Housewife is
that the former one was carved and
gt3s1esd with gold, costing a large sum
Of money, while the brown-hued like
ness of milady costs but $100 though
It Is valued at nearly $40. These
10000 women who have made the
forms, place total value on their
work Of $105,79O.
