EmbrOider A Party
Dress By Machine
BY Dorothy Roe
Associated Press WOmen's Editor

AssOfldfe0 Bress NOmeD'S EuIIOf
IT'S SIMPLE these days to turn
out beautifully embroidered party
dress for your little girl or blouse
for yourself without spending hours
every evening making painstaking
hand stitches, the way your mother
used to do.
Fancy stitching is as easy as
plain stitching with the benefit of
today's new automatic sewing ma
chimes and attachments which al
low you to make practically any
kind of embroidery stitch by ma
chine.
A little girls dress of pale pink
cotton, for instance, puts on party
airs when il is trimmed with bands
of fancy stitching in tones of deep
pink. red and deep green. Two
bands of embroidery are used across
the front of the bodice and one
across the back.
The dress is made with a stand
ard pattern which calls for front
fullness and vertical shirring be-
tween the bands of embroidery. Lo-
cal sewing center experts offer some
tips on how to achieve this effect.
First alter the pattern to elimi-
nate a little of the fullness. Fold
an nch-and-a-half tuck at the
center of the pattern pieces mark
ed waist and skirt front" and

waist and skirt back. Cut bands
for machine embroidery. Front
bands are 2H inches wide. Back
yoke band is one inch wide EN-
broider bands, using your favorite
stitches and alternating colOrs.
Run two rows of machine stitch
ing at top and bottom edges of
area of bodice marked on the pat
tern for shocking and pull threads
to gather this section until it fits
the embroidered bands. Fasten
thread ends.
Turn in raw edges of front and
back yoke embroidered bands and
top stitch in place over gathering,
after basting. Assemble dress ac-
cording to pattern instructions. At
tach embroidered front waist band
last Turn in raw edges, pin or
baste in place with tie belt under
ends of embroidered band and top
stitch.
This is a technique which gives
the effect of hand shocking, with
much less trouble. Once you have
learned the trick, you can use it on
many garments.

That means the foot and lower leg
had to be pulled down and kept
stretched out so the ends of the
fractured bone would heal in a
straight line. This kind of a break
cannot be properly treated with a

shaken up, took the child to the
hospital, where the leg was x
rayed, then set and the necessary
traction applied. The break was
clean, it would heal well in time
and Eddie would ill the long run
be as good as new. When a child's
leg is in traction he must of course
stay in bed-he cannot get about
with that much apparatus attached

Next day the doctor at the hos
pital called me in great distress.
Eddie's father had come to the hos
pital and insisted upon taking the
boy home. A hospital is not a Jail;
you cannot keep a patient against
his will, nor a child against the
will of his parents. Doctors can ad-
wise strongly against removing the
patient, can make the responsible
person sign a statement that he is
removing the patient against medi-
cal advise, but more than that we
doctors cannot do.
