TENSION MAKES OR MARS STITCH. The tension of your sewing machine is an all-important consideration of every home dressmaker. It must be regulated according to the weight of material used and a perfect stitch should be alike onboth sides. This perfect stitch is obtained when the tension on the upper and under side is alike. The upper tension is usually placed on. the face of the machine or else on the arm; the lower tension is adjusted by a screw in the bobbin case. In regulating the delivery of. thread both through the upper and lower tension, turn the adjusting screw to the right to tighten, and to the left to loosen. The length of the stitch is reulated by a screw or a lever on the head at the right of the machine; this stitch is lengthened by turning to the right. ImPaoi'Elt WORKING OF MACHINE. Does your upper thread break? If so, is this the reason? imperfect needle (bent ex blunt) , lefacliine improperly threaded. Needle too small for the thread. Needle improperly set. Dirt or lint in. the .shuttle cavity which stops the bobbin from turning freely. Worn. Does your nlachine skip stitches? If this is the condition examine it, considering the following points: ?hunt or crooked needle. Needle and thread not correspond- ing in size. Needle improperly set. Wrong needle for the machine. Are youconstantly breaking need, les? Here are some of the reasons: Failure to release the tension be- fore drawing the work from under the presser foot Trying to assist the feed points by pulling the material as the .machine is stitching. Usiiig a coarse thread in a flue needle. LEARN. BARBER TRADE 11 few wrrtra. .lvasltim9w gearahteert, steady ete- fbnr•r„M',t, Write fpr Drat Cats/eget.

"It it was a What Is Enduring? What is there that remains? • The friends that we cherished, on whom we leaned for judgment and for sym- pathy, have passed on into the world that is "a wonder still." We rear a memorial in a public place, or in the unforgetting grateful heart, and our lives are fed by the exeeetatlon of meeting thein once more and giving an account of our stewardship for bet- ter etter or for worse. But they are not here. What precious thing have we that we can keep secure against all that would "creep and intrude and climb into the fold?" Tlie only things we can keep with us surely to the end of days are the things that never had a market value.. It is not the wood and stone of the houses mads with hands or of the monoliths and pyramids that endure. We can keep and hand down to -those who come after us a creed of kindle- ness and charity, a sense of honor, a delieate regard for the individuality of others, an affectionate" loyalty in friendship, a serene and modest self- reliance.
