She had made that dress. It looked exac tly the way she wanted it to look. There were many Marys in Lansdowne this past year, for the techniques of sewing and wearing c lothes to the best advantage were learned right here in sewing c lass. This one dress did many things for Mary. It made her confident that she had the ability to make other garments; it made her think economically and spend her money wisely, and most important of all it made her cheerful. Lansdowne girls ability to sew and combine striking colors was developed under the capable guidance of Mrs. Stephens, who ably prepares the girls for their duties as homemakers. Her students not only learn the fundamental techniques of sewing but also the quality. strength, and workability of textiles and the ability to make wise purchases. This is very important to a girl who wants to keep in stvle but still must stay within a budget. The ability to sew and selec t useful fabrics and by so doing please herself and her friends is one of the big answers to a girl’s happiness. A. Origiio, A. Rogers, A. Yaroubian, J. Godshalk. anti .
