This has been one Of my happy

but the Christmas magic simply tears
away the dignity Of even my years

Little Irene Martin came TO spend
the day with me and to entertain

She is the only child of Mrs. Martin,
who takes care Of dads offices, and
comes 10 visit US every now and
then. Today, though, was q very
special occasion"
When l awoke this morning and
found it raining I was at loss 10
know just how to amuse Irene when
she came. | had planned 10 take her
motoring To Janets. where she could
pay with the children in their Won
derful nursery but the roads were
too bad for so long a trip.
Then l remembered our attic. How
/ used to love 1t there when il rained!
Sometimes ] prayed that it would

Irene was enough like me to adore
athe attic, SO 1 packed party lunch"
rand leaving orders that we we're not
to be disturbed, We climbed to the
attic.
It is filled with old clothes, furni-
ture and some Of my toys, which are
too passe to give away, and Irene
considered it a veritable treasure
chamber. We played house. dressed
up" acted fairy tales and had a
wonderful time.
Irene was enchanted by a discarded
white serge frock of mine. and l de-
cided to try my hand at making kid
dies dress. She was delighted with
the idea, and promised to do all the
basting.
ripped my frock apart, and there
were nice, large pieces, so that had
plenty of material to begin with.
Then / ran downstairs for a fashion
magazine, and Irene selected a design
she liked Fortunately II was simple
as well as smart. Using her own
frock as q guide cut a paper pattern
and pinned it together to make sure
that 1t would fit right. It looked per-
| feet, so i cut out the serge exactly
like 1t. When the sections were
basted together it was so pretty thai
we both danced about we were SO
pleased with ourselves.
| The frock is made with a long
French waist and a short, rather fun
skirt. I did not like a belt OF the
white serge, so hunted about until
found a piece of black satin left from
my evening cape. From this l formed
a wide girdle and fat. round collar.
which was exactly what the frock
needed to give it style. The short
sleeves are finished with circular cuffs
and the frock is fastened under loose
panel front attached to the girdie
with small. satin covered buttons.
finished the frock, all but the ma
chine stitching, before it became too
dark to sew. Then we watched the
sunset from the west dorTner, and
went downstairs TO supper.
1t was a very happy little girl dad
and left, telling her mother all
about our day in the attic.
