KNITTED SUITS ALWAYS GOOD
Probably the Most Practical and Com
Portable Garment That a Child
Can Wear.

There is slight tendency in the d.
rection of overdressins children Just
now. Every now and then this ten
dency arises, only to be annihilated
by the fact that there are few women
so silly that they will overdress their
children, whatever they may do them
selves.
Real torture may be inflicted on a
sensitive child by dressing her in out
of date and clumsy garments when all
her school fellows are daintily clothed.
But what are wanted are not up-to-
date things. but simple and pretty
things.
The rise of the knitted coat for
adults has led directly to the use Of
knitted suits for children. They are
very comfortable, very warm, and as
durable as anything can be that Is sub
mitted to the extreme chances of a
child's day. For very small boys lit
tie knickers and jerseys of knitted
wool are the most practical of gar
ments, especially for fat little boys,
who will come through any non-elas-
tic fabric much quicker than they will
come through knitted wool.

BEST WAY TO MAKE NEAT HEM
Hint Worth Remembering When One
10 Working on Skirt or Coat
of Thick Cloth.

It is often difficult to make a neat
looking hem on a skirt or coat made
OF very thick cloth. for unless it can
be pressed very fat with a heavy iron
and sometimes even then, there will
be an unsightly hump or bulge at the
point where the material is turned In
at the top Of the hem and stitched.
good plan to follow when using
thick material for garment is to turn
up the hem perfectly fat, without
turning in the top edge in the usual
way: then baste a piece of tape the
color of the material, or IL the color
cannot be matched. use black on dark
material and white on light material
over the raw edge Of the hem and
stitch it in place on both the upper
and lower edges.
By hasting the tape In place the
stitching can be done on the right
side Of the material. using the basting
thread as guide.
IN case of vide hem where the

apparatus and the erection of a fire
house.
