A NEW PLAN FOR HOME-DRESS-MAKERS.

Our women readers doubtless know that it has always been difficult to obtain satisfactory paper patterns—patterns, that is, that are reliable in cut, up-to-date in style, easy to understand and use. Children's things and sometimes young girls' are generally available, for styles in these garments do not vary so much. But without expending a good deal of bother, time and money, up-to-date patterns for grown up people that can he laid out and cut without risking the material, have been difficult tc obtain. "Every lady's Journal" —The popular Australian woman's magazinehas tacklea the whole problem in a most ingenious manner, and at the samp, time launched a new Australian industry. A staff of expert dressmakers was employed to make a list of every possible garment, from infant's binders to grandmother's frocks, not forgetting Johnnie's knickers, Mary's bathing suit, father's pyjama's, and Clarence's tennis shirt, that the average Australian family needs. That this is a comprehensive scheme is best gathered from the catalogue issued by "Everylady's Journal." This can be obtained either from the local draper, free of cost, or post free by sending a penny stamp to the office of "Everyiady's Journal." 37(5 Swanston street, Molbourne. Exactly the same plan has been applied to fancy work transfer designs. We strongly recommend tins new pattern and fancy wurk service to our women readers, and suggest that thsy ask their local draper for a free catalogue, or send direct to the publisher as above,
