WAY TO MEASURE SKIRTS

Woman of Enforced Economies Is Shown How to Avoid Some Worries. What woman of enforced economies has not been worried almost Hl over the measuring of a skirt? But relief is In sight, for in Europe they are selling a device consisting of a frame which may be attached to the edge of almost any table, and to this frame is hinged a pair of semielliptical wings, shaped to conform to the curvature of a skirt’s lower edge. Loosely attached to one of these wings is a tape measure which slides along the skirt as a guide to mark its length. The other wing has a linen cover, which may be pinned to the waistband of the skirt to facilitate the marking of the latter.
