hostess name; that is, in Instances
where the guest list is composed OF
women exclusively. The third line
should be left blank for the guest s
name. and the text used should be
shaded Colonial The time set is the
hour most appropriate for the special
occasion. The whole form, with the

Baby Robe.

Mother: A pretty hnish for the
crocheted baby robe is a border or
crocheted lace in shell stitch, the edges
OF the shells having a finish of colored
mercerized cotton.
In fact, some OF the latest and most
effective articles in crochet have a COM

cotton, the cotton being used rather
sparingly, just enough to make an
agreeable contrast.
