Snippets

MODERN PRISCILLA, JULY 1922

AD FROM WOMEN’S INSTITUTE, SCRANTON, PENNA.

This summer I have six dresses instead of two.

“Prettier dresses, -more stylish-better made-and fro the first time in my life, dresses that my
friends say have my own individuality in every line. And they cost me less than the two I had last
season. “How did I manage? I made them all myself. Besides, I’ve made three skirts and half a
dozen blouses and practically everything that the children are wearing. And a year ago I
couldn’t’ sew a straight seam.”

Today, thousands of women are telling practically the same story of how they found the
easy, delightful way to clothes economy through the simple and practical home study courses in
Dressmaking and Millinery offered by the Woman’s Institute.
This is an entirely new plan, so simple that you start making garments at once; so thorough that
without any previous experience you can acquire in a few months the skill of a professional
dressmaker.”
