of old watch cases and from old pic

cut into perpendicular strips. the strips

For the Woman Who Cooks.

r. For the Woman Who Cooks.
Few women can resist the appeal of
daintily made apron. For sewing
or at chafng dish an apron is indis.
pensable. and many persons like to
wear one around the house at light
tasks that do not require them to be
.enveloped in more serviceable aprons.
A dainty affair of this kind. one that
would make nice Christmas present.
is so simple in construction that any
one can develop it.
All that is needed is q square of thin
material-Persian lawn, sheer nainsook
or fine barred dimity. The size of the
square can be varied from a yard to
forty inches or even more. according
to the height Of the wearer and the de-
sired length of the apron.
Make an inca wide hem Oh the four
sides and hemstitch it on one or both
edges Of the drawn threads, as pre-.
ferred.
Hold the square to you with point
at the bust line. and at the waist line
shape it by several groups of fine
lengthwise tucks to form a small bib
top. On each side of the point SO
formed put ties of the material two
inches and a half wide. These may be
hemstitched all around. or they can be
hemmed on the edges and finished in a
deep hemstitched hem at the bottom.
This dainty apron is capable of many
variations. In addition to the hem
: stitching. bowknot design can be
worked in the corner that forms the
bib and at the bottom corner directly
below it. or the four corners can be en-
broidered. those opposite the bib line
taking smaller motif.
An individual touch can be given by
hemstitching as described and working
in the bib corner large oval medal,
lion with a monogram In the center
Touches of color could be introduced
in the embroidery with good effect.

hoop. A bow Of the ribbon finishes
where the strands are sewed on. and a
bell is sewed to the other end.
A practical idea is to take hoop
from butter tub. make notches in
the wood and tie it together tightly
before winding with the ribbon.
1t takes only a few minutes to make
the ring, and the ribbon and bells are
inexpensive. Any one who has few
moments to spare might make half a
dozen or so and send them to some
children's home or hospital, for there
is always sure to be some very wee
ones there.
