Show AN IMPORTANT speaker was scheduled, and the club rooms were looking rather shabby. The decorating committee reported that formal draperies would lend an air of distinction. The funds wouldn't stretch and the committee commit-tee wouldn't give up. Finally, every ev-ery cent was put into material. Sewing machines hummed and here is a sketch of the miracle that was wrought. Here also are the dimensions that were used for making patterns for the graceful valance sections which were fastened fas-tened over rods with snaps. For the looped section, cut paper pa-per 18 inches deep and half as wide as the window measured over the frame. From the upper right corner to point A is half of the window width less two inches. Point B is 6 inches below the upper up-per left corner. Draw a diagonal line from A to B, and a curve from B to the lower right corner. cor-ner. Place the edge marked C on a fold of the goods. The diagonal ends are pleated and stitched into a band as at D. For the end pieces, cut paper 15 inches wide and 24 inches deep. E is 3 inches below the upper left corner. F is 9 inches in from the upper right corner. G is 6 inches down from the upper right corner. Finish the top as at H. The offer of the two 25-cent sewing sew-ing books containing 96 HOW TO SEW articles that have not appeared ap-peared in the paper will be withdrawn with-drawn soon. At present you can get both books for the price of one; but don't delay; send 25 cents with name and address to Mrs. Spears, 210 S. Desplaines St., Chicago, Chi-cago, 111., and both books will be sent by return mail, postpaid. |
