THE LITTLE GIRLS APRON.

Il Is substituted BY many mothers FOR
froczs during the hot weather.
The newest models follow closely the
lines Of the little dresses worn now
For instance. a pretty pinafore Is made
Of white lawn with dress skirt and a waist
set into q belt
A bib OF embroidery connected by wide,
suspender-liI1e rufies falling over the
arms. gives dai1tiness 10 this model
The Empire apron, falling free from a
yoke OF embroidery and finished with ruf-
hes over the sleeves, IS also popular
For such a model two yards OF lawn and
less than yard Of embroidery insertion
IS sufficient
Besides these aprons. there IS the prin-
cess model. which is designed for wear all
the year around.
The latest designs n this style show
sleeves IN either three-quarters length
bishop OF short bell ana pun Effects
a princess model calling for three yards
OF goods twenry-four inches wide hangs
straight from the shoulders
TIE fullness IS formed by underarm
sleeves. and by means OF sash ends Of the
material this fUilness is drawn 10 the
back
The neck IS cut in round Dutch and IS
finished With a deep bertha cut square on
the outer edge
The gingham cover-aH aprons are not
worn much this season, as rompers, play
suits. and paddlers have taken their place
Cute little padding garments are made
TO button on the shoulders. and may be
had with OF without sleeves.
To make a pair Of rompers for child
OF five will require two and one-quarter
yards OF material thirty-siX inches wide.

CLOTHES FOR THE
WEEKEND VISIT.

They may be simplihed by careful plan

As a rule. women take more clothes
than is necessary.
The best bag for the purpose IS a rat
tan or fiber suit case.
These carry q great deal and do not tax

The best costume 10 wear on the trip is
a coat-anG-skirt one Of silk
This material Is more dressy than cot
ton or linen and does not soil so easily.
4 hat OF medium size Is much better for
wear than a small one
Il may be worn 10 nearly every occa-
sion. and so saves the trouble Of carrying
a hat box
Practically two dresses are all that ara
absolutely needed for the visit
One Of these IS a dinner gown for SatuT-
