65S2-A NECESSARY OFFICE APRON.
There has been a crying need for an
apron which is just right for the stenog-
rapher's use, Though ONCE work may not

fresh blouse cannot live long through
day without becoming somewhat soiled
unless some sort Of covering be provided
for sleeves and front. In so polite pro-
fession as that Of the stenographer or
bookkeeper. one likes TO look well as
possible. This bars the wearing OF the
ordinary big apron, inasmuch as the latter
covers one so completely to entirely
hide the frock and is at best unattractiye.
The apron sketched is the result Of very
careful consideration on the part Of the
designer. The bib portion covers only so
much Of the waist as Is necessary, being
cut in low around the neck to allow the
dress and collar to perform their fun duty
Of becOmingness. The sleeves are fun

without crushing them. The skirt portion
