A Man With a Headache. 



But many men make the m(;st of 

 their oportunities to pose as martyrs. 

 As p oof, witness the demeanour, of 

 a man at home — with a headache. He 

 thinks he is more to be pitied ihan a 

 syndicfte of t ehsaints who have been 

 bu-r.ed alive at the stake and died 

 slow deaths from cunningly-ad- 

 minister doses of torture. 



However, this by the way. Let us 

 return to our women who possess 



the faculty of making fiction and 

 weaving imaginative stories, but who 

 use this talent only for creating 

 tragic tableaux of themselves as mar- 

 tyred mothers, ill-used and sligted 

 wives or maidens, left al forlorn by 

 a cruel w6rld of unappreciative men.

A New Plan for Fancy- 

 Workers and Home 

 Dressmakers. 



" Evervlady's Journal " has 

 tackled the abo\"e problem in a 

 most insrenious manner, and at the 

 same time launched a riew Aus- 

 tralian industry. .\ staff of expert 

 dressmakers was emplove'd to mjike 

 a list of every possible r^feirment, 

 from infant's binders , to grand- 

 mother's frocks, not forgetting 

 .Tohnnie's knickers, Mary's bathing 

 suit, father's pyjainas, atid Clar- 

 ence's tennis shirt, that the aver- 

 age Australian family needs. 



The result 'Was a list of some- 

 where, round 130 high class and 

 tested ])atterns. The patterns were 

 then gathered into sixteen care- 

 fully selected groups called outfits 

 to enable these perfectly cut pat- 

 terns to be sold at about half the 

 usual price. For example, all the 

 garments that a baby in short 

 clothes is likely to want were ptit 

 up as an Infant's Short Clothes 

 Outfit, containing nightdress, feed- 

 er, pilcher, drawers, petticoat, 

 bonnet, yoke dress, tunic dress, 

 dress, cloak, sac coat, and a 

 sm-ocked frock. .Tu.st the same 

 way each cluster of patterns was 

 wiselv grouped into appropriate 

 outfits, thus making -a cotiiplete 

 range for the whole family. 



Each single ipattern within these 

 new outfits has its separate en- 

 velope, on which is printed full 

 directions for cuttinn- and making, 

 and the sixteen different Outfits 

 sell at the low price of 2/6 each, 

 which comes to about threenence 

 for each pattern. If a woman 

 wishes to buv a .single pattern 

 only from any otrtfit she may do 

 so at the usual price of ninepence. 



, On this plan the whole series 

 of patterns has been treated. There 

 is the " Small Boy Outfit," the 

 " School Bov Outfit." the ''School 

 Girl Outfit," the " Matemitv Out- 

 fit," the " School Girl Outfit," the 

 and the " Utility Outfit " — 

 most of which are cut in 

 two or three sizes — and so on 

 over a range of 130 patterns 

 grouped into 16 distinct outfits. 



That this is' a comprehensive 

 scheme is best gathered from 

 catalogue issued by " Kverylady's 

 ■Tournal." This can be obtained 

 either from the local draper, free 

 of cost, or post free by sending a 

 penny stamp to the office of 

 " Evervlady's .Tournal," 376 Swan- 

 ston ^gtreet, Melbourne.
