A DRESSING-GOWN GIRDLE
A twisted wool girdle for a dressinggown is easily made and is much smarter than the home-made belt, says an exchange. For the making of it, two people should stand double the distance apart that the length of the I girdle has to be when finished. A third person '.now winds • the wool, which' should match the dressing-1 go\vn, over ,-the;,hands-.of the other two until the "long "straight line so formed1 is half.'theythickness;;of■ the required girdle. Make a knot at each end, and above each" kn6t'|lip a pencil through the strands--pfiwopl,, and twist in opposite directions 1 tell -the whole length of the, .wool :is,tightly twisted. The thifd-'jie'rioiv now holds the £irdle exactly in the middle while the I twp^ends-;ar^BuJ..together and tied firmly. Tjhe'^^e is then secure. I When one •end^ls^drbpped it will twist itself "up, But it can be made perfectly firm by drawing, it again, and again through- the: ao^si [ .'A tassel,may be attached as a finish.
