Waist Cost Only 3a Cents.
Another girl, also an employs In a

had on hand, made her a pretty waist
at a cost of 30 cents.
And It would surprise even the most
economically inclined what can be done
in the hat making class. Think of the

Well. such frightful nightmares of
expenditure are past for the women
and girls In the hat making class. They
are instructed how to take velvets that
have been used, steam them and make
them look as good as new. They are
taught how to make flowers out pt
scraps of ribbons. From these odds snd
ends they make roses, violets, - forget-me-nots
and other flowers. Then they
take two or three old frames, tear them
to pieces and construct new frames,
thus making the entire hat.
Of course, ' while - members of the
classes are taught to economise by using
odds and ends of ma-ferlals on hand,
their -instruction applies as well to the
working up of new materials. A Course
la the class is Intended to prepare those
-Vi-
who take It to make all of their own
hats, and that, too, in the latest and
nobbiest styles. . . '

At the close of the last term In this
eourse a display of the prettiest hats
made by th members of the class wss
made.'' One of these hats so pleased the
woman who made it that she felt It
was worth buying a dresa to match.
The hat was made entirely of material
she had in her home.
There is another class that is doing;
flna work. This is the class of girls,'
ranging in agea from t to 15 years.
They learn the various stitches snd the
art' Of construction, and how to darn
and patch. . Some of the. younger ones
make clothes for their dolls while the
older ones learn - to make - clothes for
themselves.' .. w.y S.AwW-;?. H'V1:
