eoloIGd, outside drawers for little girls ought
Lot 10 be given up. Many still wear them, but
think they are less common than they were
few years ago. WOODEN undeT-drawerS reach
ing to the ankles are necessary for girls and
women Ia winter. These being the real - under
clothing" IL is hardly reasonable TO put white
Gotten drawers over them-the same as are
worn next the body in summer. For warmth
and protection, strong, cOlOred, wooden cloth Is
the best that can be found. Being an outer gar
meDt, in reality IL seldom needs washing and

needless labor. The banded drawers being
