The Paris baker Of worldwide
fame sends out his bread, not in
baskets and wagons, rs Is the custom
in America, but by a woman who
wears the longest apron on record.

ary length il for reason. When it
is dropped down, this. apron trails
on the ground in front OF her, and
its utility il as evident as its sim
plicity IS beautiful TO the unaccus-
iomed eye. The ends OF this apron
she ties together, forming sock in
which the bread is carried. There
is a waist fitting over the shoulders
so thst her load, by no means light
one, weighs upon the shoulders and
does not pull altogether on the hips.
