Loosen the tension and stitch as near the edge of the hem as possible and then pull out the bastings. Take the goods in one hand and the hem in the other, pull the edge of the hem to the bottom of the drawn threads and the work is complete.

However, it is nonsense to say that the water barometer could be more accurate than the mercurial. A mercurial barometer in good condition never cuts any capers. Moreover, a rising barometer does not always indicate fair weather nor a falling barometer a storm. The best we can say Is that this will prove true in a majority of cases. I would doubt the accuracy of the readings of your water barometer, but it might make a good plaything. Con-traril- To Mak Paper Chrysanthemums.
