Many students who have had a short course in dressmaking and are able to turn out n garment to their credit, providing they have paper patterns and direction's ready to hand, lind themselves seriously handicapped if jihieed in a position that such patterns are not .procurable. This new course aim* at making thos'e who go through it independent of bought patterns and able to rely on their own knowledge of how to cut out any ilcsijii that may be desired from a'plain I dr.iil. Students joining this demonstration class will find the benefit of hjstniction received when they e»ine lo the practical part of dressmaking and ilrcss-ciillmg. The knowledge .mined will :be of material benelit in so far that a student will know liow to go about her cutting out, thereby saving the time that would otherwise be wasted in waiting her turn to be shown, thus getting through more work in the term.

Seeing that certificates are rf great value in these progressive daws it is to the student's interest to'take iverv opportunity that presents its'elf of obtaining such certificate.
