The saving is due mainly to the fact that girls in college feel sufficiently well dressed with fewer clothes' than would be required If they were at home. The traveling and entertaining which they would do if they were living at home would more than equal the mon ey spent for their college payments."

Miss Me Laughlin, a skilled needle-woman, will give these lessons, beginning with the simplest stitches and designs, teaching the children the first rudiments of embroidering, until gradually they may take up the more intricate stitches and the more elaborate designs.. Considering the ability of Miss McLaughlin and the fact that the lessons are free to all who buy their materials here, this really amounts to an opportunity. The materials necessary to begin amount to just 25c—a 17-inch white linene centerpiece and floss ioc, embroidery hoops 10c, embroidery needles 05c—or a 22dnch tan tinted centerpiece with six skeins of silk floss, with a book of in structions, 25c. The children may come any time on Saturday mornings. This in no way interferes with the free lessons given every morning to the grown-ups who buy their materials here. Chamberliir JohnsonTJußose Co.
