SHOP NOTES

A demonstration Of more than
ordinary interest is that now being
given at the d. w. Adams Co. by
Miss Priscilla Hewes of the Trancilla
Co. The Trancilla Co. manufacture
self-transfer patterns for embroidery
of all kinds. While they are of the
greatest possible aid to dressmakers,
they are excellent for transferring
patterns for bedspreads. table covers,
scarfs. card covers and children's
clothes.
ut is very easy to do" said Miss
Hcwes to Journal reporter in eX
planning the patterns. 1T is all done
with a powder that is guaranteed not
to hurt the best material. More
than that. the patterns may be used
over and over. White powder is
used for dark cloth and blue fortnight
fabrics. 1t is easy and economical.
There are over 500 different designs
and five or six styles of letters and
four different kinds of monograms."
