In this elimination process perhaps the big

with is that OF clothes-discreet.j Judicial selec-

dress is vital thing. In the business woman
neat, becoming attire is almost as essential
to success as is ability to DO the work as
signed to her.
To look well groomed Is the basic principle
OF successful dressing. And good grooming
Is not necessarily a matter OF expense. II is
nestness and freshness that achieve the well
groomed look To dress in harmony with
ones station and income is much more ef-
fectiye than apeing the latest fashions.

Embroidery Design and Pattern for Babys Bib.

These attractive designs may be applied
either to bIbs Jokes. or frocl1s. Detail draw
ings show methods Of working.
There are two ways TO apply the designs
10 the materials upon which you wish to
work
II your material Is shser-such as hand
kerchief linen, lawn. batiste, and the like
the simplest method is to lay the material
over the design and with wen pointed pencil
draw over each line.
II your material Is heavy secure piece OF
transfer or impression paper Lay Il face
down upon this then draw over each line
Of the paper design with hard pencil or the
point Of a steel knitting needle. Upon lift
ing the pattern and transfer paper you win
find a neat and accurate impression Of the
design upon your material.
There are two points TO observe IN this
process II you would execute II satisfactorily.
One Is TO see that your material is leyel-eut
and folded by thread-and that your design
Is placed upon Il evenly az every point.
The second Is, when placed accurately Sc
cure the design to the material with thumb
tacks or pins so they cannot slip during the
operation.
Do not rest your hand or fingers upon any
part Of the design you are transferring, else
the imprint Of your fingers will be as distinct
upon the material as the drawn lines Of the
design.

they looked like little red dots and

rough ring around them, and grew
continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf-

that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear
full. He was cross when he had them.
