Ellen, tell!'me where in the world did you get thot lovely, dress.?.!' "I'll givo you three guesses," I said, and I fairly bubbled with joy when she named the three most exclusive aiul expensive shops in the town."Wrong every time," I announced. ,"J made it myself." . "But, Ellon;" she fairly gasped, "made it yourself!.> How, when, where , did yoji' ever leani? You never used to sew- a stitch I" . - "I know I didn't; but I madeihis dress just the same,'and not only this, but.9o many, others-, ithat.l have, more, clothes than I ever had before; and, 1 if you please; I, havo,,<£lo.in the bank tha'l j. saved on my clothes this season." .. "Well, 1 tell me this minute ihow you did it." . . ; So.I wentjto the wardrobe, and came back with an armfui of dainty things that fairly made Janet stare -in wideeyed astonishment., "To begin with," I said, "this dress. I have 011. is an exact reproduction of ;an. exclusive model I saw 111 a shop window, marked' J®. It cost ine-exactly Ms. for the materials, and I think they, are Teally of better quality. And here's an evening dress that Jack Says is the prettiest' thing I ever wore. I copied it from a fashion magazine, and the'material cost exactly 355. Then I have made two houso dresses, four aprons,- a taffeta petticoat, and underclothing,' that I saved altogether more than ~£2 on. Besides; I've made tliTee school dresses for Betty, and all her little undergarments. Jack would not believe I could do it, but when I showed liitu my bank book and how much I had saved on clothes in such a. little time he said, 'JSilen, you're a wonder! You've never had such clothes—' and lo havo them for less than yoii; ever' spent before."'. "But you haven't ;told me yet," in-' sistedi Janet, "where you learned." ,i "Well, then, listen, and you shall hear;: "About four months ago I read in| ti: newspaper about a school of. dressmaking'! that had developed a wonderful now* plan through which- one could learn' Dressmaking at Home in spare time. That was a 'new idea to me, but I began; lo think how much it'would moan if I' could make my own clothes, so I wrote to tlieni. They sent me tlio most interesting" particulars, that ex-, plained everything free, and just told exactly how you could learn every step, oven though you had 110 experience, whatever. Why, think, Janet, moro than 8000 womon and girls havo already learned
