The problem of dressing small children
attractively is a simpler thing for the
mother OF today than 1t was for the mother
Of yesteryear. 1t is possible to buy charm
ing ready made clothes for children, and
the woman who does not have 20 count
the pennies saves herself an immense
amount Of bother by improving the oppor-
tunities offered by the children's depart
ments Of the better shops and by the shops
devoted exclusively to children's Quits.
Unluckily the woman who does have 10
count the pennies often yields to the temp
tation of the ready made clothes and FITS
her children out with manufactured gar
ments Of the cheapest type. This Of course
saves her a great amount of work, and if
she has not the time to give to planning
and sewing even the less desirable type Of
child clothes IL may perhaps be justihable
investment, but the common saying that
1t is cheaper to buy chlldren's clothes than
to make them holds true only when the
time spent In sewing would be of definite
value for soms other purpose.
The ready made clothes of the best
grades/ undoubtedly have certain style
and often an originality and charm due to
the clever brains and fingers of highly
skilled designers and workers, and It is
folly for the woman who can afford to
buy clothes of this grade to waste her
time and energy over home sewing for her
small girls and boys. SO, after all, the
problem resolves itself into a question of
