sleepy Malay constable perched on

opening in which another Malay con-
stable half slumbers. Two or three

Pattern For a Necessary Office Apron Designed
by Martha Dean--No. 6382

There has been a crying need for an
apron which is just right for the slenoS-kS
raphers USE. Though Office work may
not seem to demand much protection Tor
ones gown, those who have tried It know
that a fresh blouse cannot live through
a day without becoming somewhat soiIed
unless some sort of covering pc proYiueu
for sleeves and front. In so polite q pro-
fession as that of the stenographer or
bookkeeper one likes to look as well as
possible This bars the wearing Of the
ordinary big apron, inasmuch 5as tne at at
ter covers one SO completely as to en-
tirely hide the frock and is at best url-k
attractive. The apron sketched is the: re-,
suit 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, round neck
to allow the dress and collar to perform
their full duty of becomingness. ne
sleeves are full enough to be worn over
any waist sleeves without crushing them.
The skirt portion extends around TO the
back to protect the dress from becoming
shiny with the constant rubbing OF the
chair, which is a point Of no small I'M
portance If the skirt be of any smooth
material The apron need not be plain
unless desired. A Marrow embroid derry or
lace NAV finish the edges or bias bands
of another fabric. For any kind Of Office
work the design Is unsurpassed. "A small.
narrow pocket may be fixed on the right
side of the bib for pencils. Lawn. percale
or muslin, as well as sateen or silk In
dark blue or black is suggested. The
pattern calls for three and three-Quarter
