To Protect Sleeves.

Dresses and shirtwaists always become soiled and worn on the sleeves faster than anywhere else and separate black sleeves soil almost immediately, or at least leave marks on any white waist with which they are worn. A good idea is to make oversleeves of closely-woven old white stocking legs. Cut them off the desired length. üßlng the top of the stocking as the upper part of the oversleeve, and in the lower edge make a narrow hem and run elastic. No elastic is needed at the top aa the woven material will stop in place and has a further advantage of not making creases in tha sleeve of the shirtwaist as it would were Elastic Inserted in the top.
