little serving apron. OF course these
small bits Of dainty apparel may be

the more costly lingerie Iaces, and
elaborated into expensive affairs, but
these will not be any more pleasing
than palmer aprons which are equally
dainty and are made of inexpensive
cotton fabrics trimmed with sheer en-
broideries or the cheaper laces.

fabrics that cost little has placed q
