WHS By Valerie Ashton "For years 1 had yearned to be able to make my own clothes, but being situated that 1 could not join a personal class. I despaired of ever learning. It was with pleasure, then, that I heard of the ease with which dressmaking could be mastered by a wonderful new plan, in spare time, at home. "1 immediately wrote for full information, and was so convinced with the particulars 1 received, that I determined, there and then, to become a member. "My progress was really surprising: in fact, it was real fun learning at home to make my own dresses. Within a few weeks 1 made myself a charming costume that had been the admiration and envy of my friends, who cannot believe that I made it myself, and 1 am sure they really do think that 1 had it made by the big city firm that I used to patronise. They'd ridicule the idea that it only cost me 35/- for the material, and that 1 therefore saved more than £3 on it. "The dress that 1 have on is one that I made, and saved £2 on, and this is only one of five that I've made this season. I bought new material for three, and the others cost me practically nothing, for I made them out of last year's dresses— in the very latest style, of course, and better made than any 1 could buy. 1 saved such a lot, too. on little Winnie's clothes, and she is much more tastefully dressed than if I had bought her clothes ready made. "Students of this wonderful Associated System, 1 am told, include city women and country women, home women, business women, girls at school and college, and girls employed at home and in shops and offices. You see, it is no disadvantage if you are employed all day or have household duties that occupy you at home, because you can devote as much or as little time as you like, and so make profitable use of any odd moments, and still quickly learn how to make your own dresses, blouses, and underclothes, and charming dainty little garments for children. "Over 25,000 women and girls of all ages and in all circumstance." have, in this simple way, learned dressmaking and millinery and how to save money. And more, I have seen thousands of letters from grateful students, and a great many of them spoke of having entered business for themselves, and that they had been successful. 1 know that the Associated System has solved the problem of my independence, and if anything should happen to dear Jack I could earn more than enough- to keep myself and little Jim and Winnie in comfort. "I have toid quite a lot of my friends about it, and already several of them are just as enthusiastic as I am. 1 would advise you, dear reader, also to write for the v !*J<JvjlAJJ o '«s\ ""Hi V 1-\ We'll teach you to make your hats We will give a full course of home instruction in Millinery to 1,000 ladies.
