Miss Rocke showed them how to
use the binder in finishing house
dresses, school dresses, aprons and j
other garments. It is possible to j
make a girl's school dress in an hour,,
she said, and she showed the lead
ers how it could be done. She alsoj
showed the leaders how the foot
hemmer is used in finishing h?:r.?.
Several of the leaders practiced
on the machine at the meeting but
Miss Rocke did not require them to
complete any amount of work. Most
women are accustomed to using;
their own sewing machine and can- The State Journal of Sundav con
