A HINT ON STOCKINETTE
It is to the credit of dress cTcsfgnors that they have invented all sorts of little wrinkles to prevent stockinette from stretching. Skirts, instead of being plainly hemmed round the bottom, are turned up and bordered with half a dozen , rows of machine stitching. This is an attractive trimming as well as a means of making the hem stiff and firm. Jumpers are treated at the bottom ip the samo fashion. In jump<?Bs, more than in skirts, the difference is noticeable. Jersey jumpers always had a most depressing habit of growing' wider with wear, but machinestitched they retain their original slim lino which is the beauty of this material, ; Women ' are apt to regard necklines which are bound with contrasting materials as a novelty rather than as an ingenious device for keeping them in perfect shape. This rather elaborate trimming has the effect of preserving the original size and form.
