q beautiful finish.
On another dress the hem Is cut. In
points instead Of scallops. II one sews
easily AND likes hand work, none of
these suggestions Is as formidable as
they may seem at first reading. It Is
surprising when n Is fairly started
how rapidly these things can be done.
The most of the work comes In the pre-
pairing.
Another dress Is made OF a fine
striped batiste and is SO simple In de-
sign It will be possible to make 1t in
a few hours, barring the little embroid-
cry there is on 1t. The material Is cut
for the full length Of the dress. back
and front, and Is tucked across the
back and front In lengthwise tucks to a
yoke depth. There is a space In the
middle front, then five tucks in a clus-
ter either side. then a space. h W
tucks.
The same idea is carried out on the
back. In these spaces are embroidered
tiny daisies connected by a stemlike
design. The dress buttons on q fly in
the back, so that the embroidery de-
sign may be carried out there also. The
bottom of the dress Is finished by a
deep hem hemmed by hand, and the
neck and plain bishop sleeves are fin
ished with a quarter Inch insertion and
edge. Instead of embroidery an inser-
ton can be set In in the spaces, but the
embroidery is really p~rettier and will
not take much longer to do.
Another little dress, made of fine
nainsook. is tucked solidly across back
and front to a yoke depth. The bot
tom is finished With a scalloped feather
stitched hem, and neck and sleeves
have the usual dainty and simple finish.
Worn over this dress, when a child
Is old enough to walk, is the most fas-
cinating sleeveless coat of white linen
embroidered. There Is no middle back
seam. but on both back and front the
under arm seam slopes out well toward
the bottom to give the necessary flare.
The shoulders come well to the arm
hole end, fut only reach up toward the
shoulder a little more thar half way.
From there the coat comes down In a
perfectly straight line on the front to
the bottom, while around the back at
the neck the line cuts out a little.
After the seams are finished the coat
should be stamped all around the edge
with a design for embroidering; this
includes the arm holes also. Nothing
can be p~rettier than q scalloped edge.
Dots of graduated size a be embroid-
cred near the scallops, besides having
some small flowers In the corners
On q warm summer day q q or
white dotted net could be worn with
this. There should be a narrow turn
down shirred brim Of the net. and 1t
should be lined with rose colored taft
feta, and the bonnet trimmed with a
wide creton ribbon in floral effect, fas-
tened at one side In a large fiat necktie
bow. Large bowl shaped hats In straw,
simply trimmed with ribbon In this
square, stiff fashion, are good style for
every day wear, IND then there are
some quaint o~ld-fashioned bonnet
shapes with strings, lined with silk or
printed cotton, and trimmed with q
stiff r6sette.
A sensible as well as a becoming ar
ticle for a baby to wear in the summer
is a sunbonnet. The hood and the cape
part in the back are made of dimity
and the poke crown is of piQue. The
dimity part Is made plain n there is
a casing at the point where the neck
comes, in which are two of the narrow
est possible linen tapes, so 1t can be
drawn up to At comfortably. A seal
loped and embroidered edge should fin
ish the poke part.
For a little more dressy wear there
are the lingerie hats Of linen or pique,
which are made In such a manner that
they can easily be taken Spart fol
