Hook and Eye Hints.

When sewing the hooks and eyes on the placket of a skirt, sew one pair at the very bottom, fasten them and Crush them flat. This will keep the placket from ever tearing or ripping at the end. On a wash dress the eyes should b« sewed on the upper flap and the hooks on the lower, Instead of tho usual fashion. The top flap can then be ironed flat without the little lumps left by irpnlng over hooks. In working on'beavy materials alternate the hooks and eyes; first an eye and then a hook on one flap, with first a hook and then an eye on the other This method will hold the dress shut and save you from much discomfort and embarrassment.
