How Mrs. Carton Added £3 a Week to the Family Income Vhe story of a mother of two children toho surprised her husband by her business intuition. (By Linda Olive Carton. When Bob and I were married eight years ago he was 27 and I was 24. For a year we were gloriously happy. Bob's salary was £5 15s a week, and in thone days it was quite sufficient to keep the two oi us comfortably in a email home. Then came the first baby—a sweet, cuddly little youngster—that we named Dorothy. For some months after her coming I was under medical care. Bob had saved a lew pounds, bub it soon vanished when the bills came in. Somehow, I got the idea just at that time that Bob didn’t care for mo as much ae he used to. Maybe it was because the cares of motherhood bad taken some of the bloom out of my cheeks. Or, perhaps, because I felt we didn't have the money for dress, etc., that we had in the first year of our marriage. I knew he was worried about making both ends meet—particularly alter little Arthur came into the world in October, 1921. Then, about a year and o-hall ago something happened which was to change my entire life! I was glancing over a newspaper when I came across the story of a woman just like myself. She was just the average woman—a woman just like you and me. The story told how this woman had been greatly discouraged and how she had learned at home, in spare time, through the postal lessons of the Associated .School, to make for herself, at great savings, just the kind of pretty and becoming clothes she had always wanted, and had earned money dressmaking tor others. Although it seemed too good to be true, X decided to find out about it. The information I received ~— 1 —■' ■■■ by return mail was so wonderfully convincing that I at once took up dressmaking. Bob know nothing of my venture at first, for I wanted to surprise him. And surprise him I did when I olipped on an especially attractive dress and met him in town with some friends with whom we were spending the afternoon at the pictures. It was bard for them to believe that l - ,„, I had made such a beautiful frock myself. When I showed them nil the other pretty things I had made they were the most surprised people you ever saw. When wo reached home Bob put his arms around me as he used to do in the old days ond asked me how it happened. Then I told him about the Associated School and how I had learned by post in my spare time 'to make more and prettier clothes than P rrr £ m % All who enrol promptly for the ASSOCIATED SYSTEM OF DRESSMAKING will be given a thorough Home Training in Millinery FREE OF CHARGE.

' u o b was sceptical at first, as any man might have been, but at last ho agreed to let me try. ■ To-day I am making £3 to £6 a week sewing for others, in addition to making all my own and children’s clothes. Bob is as proud as he can be of what ho calls my “ business intuition," but, best of all, is the fact that we are such good pals. X really believe he loves me more than when we were married.
