SETTLEMENT CLASSES IE NEEDEES FLY

little Girls Make Their Own Dresses and Become Experts In Domestics.

By Nora Ball Ragsdale.

Less than .i year age, many of these little folks didn't knev how to hold a needle. Look at them now, all wearing dresses made by themselves. Truly it is a lesson in perserverence. 'is it not?

These are Sociai Settlement children. They are a part of the several hundreds that have received instruction and training in various lines at the institution during the past year, which for them ju&t closed recently with the annual picnic.

When children dnroll for sewing in the fall, they are first asked if they know how to holi a needle and wear a thimble. A great percentage of them do not. Many of these little folks are six and less, but even the older ones frequently know nothing of the art of sewing. They are given handkerchiefs to hem by hand as their first lessons. Frequently a child is given two or three handkerchiefs for practice before she is able to take another garment.

Make Many Articles.

The handkerchief stage is followed by a much more interesting one—that of making garments for themselves. More than two hundred yards of materials have been made up into dresses, petticoats, bloomers and waists and aprons during the year just closed. The material is given to the children as their own, and the maKing of garments for their own personal use is quite an incentive.

We must not overlook ons very important fact_ and that is every garment is hand made. There is no machine work on any of them, so it can be seen readily that double credit is due the little folks. One little boy, •bout six, became so enthused over the 'eewing work that ho joined a class himself, coming with his little sister quite a distance in t*e north part of the city. He announced that he was going to make a waist for himself, and after that he would try a pair of trousers.

Next year's work is being looked forward to quite eagerly by the sew-

"Best"—not only because he sells more Calumet than he does the other kinds— but "best" because Calumet always satisfies his customers fully. The grocer knows what's what—and when you buy Calumet, he knows you'll be delighted with its good results. Calumet is the best baking powder you ever used so reliable that you will never have a failure—so pure and uniform in quality that you'll wonder at the improvement when ©very baking comes from the pans light as down, evenly raised and deliciously baked. Think of having the highest quality in baking powders always at your elbow the absolute certainty of unfailing results and economy in use that means a big saving in your baking. Take the grocer's word for it—and order Calumet today. Received Highest Award at World's Pure Food Exposition, Chicago Paris Exposition, France, March, 1912.

ing classes, it was announced yesterday. One important addition to the training of the older pupils will be made—they will be taught to cut out their own garment?. Cutting and fitting are so absolutely tessential to one's sewing ability, that the teachers will not overlook it.

Those who have toil-id with the little folks during the past ten months have been Miss Lena Rottman, Mrs. Mary Thomas, Mrs. Thomas Grey, Miss Emma Hoberg, Miss Bonnie Farwell and Miss Ruth Coliiver. Of the numbers they taught, nine of them completed entire middy suits for themselves.

The little girl standing alone in the picture is Elsie Wilsc-n, nine, of 442 North Second street. Elsie started her dress on April 15, made it all by hand, and wore it to the Settlement picnic for the first time the other day.
