CLOTHING SCHOOL At Woodstock Largely Attended By McHenry People The first day of the clothing school at Woodstock, which is being held in connection with the McHenry County Home Bureau work, was well attended on Wednesday by the McHenry unit. The sewing teacher and pupils of the McHenry community high school attended the afternoon session. The work of the day was on the commercial pattern, conducted by Miss Marjorie Haugh, a specialist in the work from the University of Illinois. In the morning one delegate from each unit in the county was present and these women made muslin patterns from each standard make in sizes ^om 36 to 42. In the afternoon a lecture on "The Commercial Pattern" was given and some very good hints on alteration. Then several women acted as models and the muslin patterns made in the morning were fitted to see which make was suited to "the individual form. These patterns will be passed around to each unit and every member will have a chance to try them out in the manner mentioned above.
