neatness in finishing seams, turning corners, etc. In fact, the inside of !i 

 garniout should be as neat in appearance as tlie outside. 



To allow students to leave raw seams and rough edges on the inside of a 

 garment tends to cultivate loose morals and untidy habits in other work. The 

 only woman in the world that has a right to leave unfinished seams is the 

 woman with a house full of children, and who does, besides her sewing, her 

 own cooking, washing, milking, churning, and house cleaning. In teaching 

 sewing we should try to eliminate from the girls' minds all liking for tawdry 

 trimming, gaudy decoration, and follies of fashion. She should be taught that 

 the beauty of a garment depends upon its artistic arrangement, its appropri- 

 ateness, simplicity, and durability, rather than its quality of attracting atten- 

 tion. 



The present styles are to be recommended for their simplicity and economy, 

 both of stitching and use of material. Think how much time and sewing is 

 saved by not having to make and set in sleeves. Then the narrow skirts re- 

 quire less material, less sewing, and less time in getting them even at the bot- 

 tom. To the art student their symmetrical lines and graceful curves recom- 

 mend themselves as being the best that has been admired in wearing apparel 

 for centuries past. Many people severely criticise the tendency to low neck 

 and short sleeves for street wear. From a hygienic standpoint this style is 

 vastly preferable to the collar that irritates the chin and the sleeve that lies 

 over the hand. The present style allows free circulation of the blood to the 

 face and neck, and also allows a freer circulation of the air around the body 

 as well as exposing to air and sunlight a greater area of the skin.
