GOLF CAPES FOR BABIES
Dainty Affairs Without Sleeves

Even the baby needs a golf cape, in summer, for does not the suburban mother frequently have her maid bring baby to the club house for his airing, and incidentally accompany her home, after her mornings round of golf links? Then does he wear his pretty little crocheted SaxOny cape, done in pink and white. ! These capes appeal at once to the novice in crocheting, for there is no more fetching piece of fancy work to do than one of these tiny garments Every mother prizes them in her baby's rousseau, for they are so much more easily adjusted when the little tot Is comfortably placed in his go-cart or coach. This cape Is usual ly done in star stitch, though the shell stitch is equally favored, either being soft and dainty in Saxony yarn.
 Even the young girls are taking up crocheting this season. At tennis ca sinos especially one observes pretty girls industriOusly plying this art Of creating beautiful things. Why not do a golf cape or two this year for sisters baby or as a donation for some bazaar, which IS sure to come in handy next autumn? As offerings for church fairs these infants golf capes are among the most salable of arti- cles, they having proven so superior in every way to baby sacks. Every mother knows what nuisance 1t is to try and get the cute little unmanage- able arms into sleeves.
 Would not a baby's rousseau be charming with one of these capes in cluded, done in the Vatican color ings-those exquisite tints, pink, blue and ecru, which are the craze of the hour?
