Twenty weeks of practical arts sewing led to a city sponsored fashion show at Pittsfield High School supervised by Miss Marion E. Willis. About 200 women demonstrated budget sewing for various figures with outfits valued well above material costs. Instructors described garments and costs, with beginners to tailoring under Mrs. Raymond F. Brown and others. Free classes meet four evenings weekly for 20 weeks and will resume next fall.
