put them on because mamma or nurse
wishes to protect their pretty clothes
but when there is company in the parior
and mamma sends for them. the aprons
are laid aside. and there they are in their
ing. Aor
But long ago, when their great-grand-
mothers were young. aprons We're con-
s1dered a very important piece of cloth

without a goodly supply of aprons They
were made by the dozen In every style
and design-gold and silver brocade
aprons, aprons wrought with gold. .mii,-

with bows and lace to suit the fancy ~

and lawn embroidered aprons. and les

There is no telling how long ago aprons
came into fashion: they doubtless were
