The new dressmaker; with complete and fully illustrated instructions on every point connected with sewing, dressmaking and tailoring, from the actual stitches to the cutting, making, altering, mending, and cleaning of clothes for ladies, misses, girls, children, infants, men and boys . raight and in position just back of the edge of the buttonhole. The stitches are worked over the cord by the usual movements. After each stitch is di-awn down, the loose twist should be picked up firmly by the thumb and forefinger quite near the stitch, and two or three circular twisting movements should be made so that the loop formed will settle securely and neatly into its proper position. Be careful to complete each stitch wth uniform movements. When the eyelet is reached, the work is adjusted so that the stitches may be made at the proper slant. The stitches should radiate from the eyelet as the spokes do in a wheel. (111. 230.) The inner end of an eyelet buttonhole may be bar-tacked. Sometimes the bars are simply worked with an over-and-over stitch. This is done by passing the needle up through the fabric at one side of the bar and down through it at the other side until the bars are entirely covered \vith these stitches and the stays look like a fine ill. 230.

After the buttonholes are worked, theu* edges should be closely basted together byan over-and-over stitch made by pushing the needle up and down over the edges just backof the stitches. Then they should be pressed under a dampened cloth. In fact, all but-tonJioles should be pressed if the goods will permit. Before they are dry, a stiletto shouldbe pushed up vigorously tlu-ough each eyelet until the opening becomes perfectly roundand the stitches around its edges are regular and distinct. When the bastings are re-moved, the buttonholes will be symmetrical in appearance. ^f III. 23 1. Bound Buttonhole T III. .:?Sil. Iht-liindin
