To Save Buttons.

Did ron ever hare a garment retorn from the laundry or the washerwoman with all the buttons on it that It possessed when it went? Never! Then here Is a way to save future trouble by taking a little in the present Work two rows of buttonholes exactly opposite each other in both hetns of the garment Instead -of sewing the buttons to ths fabric, sew them to a tape, being sure to have the distance between the buttons on the tape the same as that of the button holes. Fasten these buttons through the buttonholes on one hem. pinning at each end with a tiny safety pin. Bach time the clothes are washed take ont the tape and wash it at home. This idea can be used for every rise of button and every texture of fabric.
