How I Learned at Home to Make My Own Dresses, by 3-:LLii:rv pur dv clakke. A GRAND FREE OFFER. Yestei’day, after lunch, I had just slipped into my new blue one-piece dress and was getting ready to go down town, when the door-bell rang 1 and who should it be but Janet Whitelaw, whom I hadn’t seen for nearly six months. The first thing Janet exclaimed as she stood in the door was; ‘‘Oh, Ellen, tell me where in the world did you get that lovely dress?” “I made it alt myself.” “But, Ellen!” she fairly gasped; “made it yourself! How —when— where did you ever learn? You never used to sew a stitch!” “I know I didn’t; but I made this dress just the same, and not only this, but so many other things that I havh more clothes than I ever had before.” tell me this minute how you did it.” So I went to the wardrobe and came back with an armful of dainty things that made Janet stare in astonishment. mi “To begin with.” I said, “this dress I have on is a reproduction of an exclusive model I saw in a shop window marked £9. It cost me exactly 64/for the materials, and I think they are really of better quality. And here’s an evening dress that .Tack says is the prettiest thing ever wore. I copied it from a fashion magazine and the materials cost exactly 35/-. Then I have made two house dresses, four aprons, a taffeta petticoat, and under-clothing, that I have saved more than £2 on.” “But you haven't told me yet,” insisted Janet, “where you learned.” “Well, then, listen and you shall hear. About four months ago I read about a school of dressmaking that had developed a wonderful new plan through which one could learn Dressmaking or Millinery at home in spare time. I began to think how much it would mean if I could make my own clothes; so I wrote to them. They explained everything free, and told just exactly how you could learn every step, even though you had no experience whatever. Why, think, Janet, more than 90 )0 woemn and girls have already learned to make their own clothes and hats by this new plan. You see, it doesn’t make the slightest difference where you live —in city, small towns, or in the country—all are- learning with the same success as if they were together in a class-room. Isn't it wonderful?” , “Well, I took if up, and 1 soon realised how easy it Is to learn without leaving home. Every step Is explained so clearly, and there are hundreds of illustrations to show just exactly what to do.” But Janet broke in right here: “Ellen, this is wonderful! Toll me bow I can learn all about it my-, self?” So I told lier that if she would send to the Associated School of Dressmaking, Sydney, and would tell them that she was most interested in learning Dressmaking - or Millinery at Home, they would send her by return post, absolutely without | charge, all particulars of the marvellous Associated System. ;And if you, my dear reader, would like to know more about how r you can have more and prettier clothes or B hats and save money, as 1 am doing, I suggest that you, too. write promptly being - sure to mention the “Manawatu Daily Times,” and state whether you are Mrs. or Miss. SEND NO MONEY; simply state whether you are interested in Dressmaking or Millinery and send your name and address NOW, to the ASSOCIATED SCHOOL OF DRESS MAKING.
