Here is a whole set of patterns for
young child's outfit at a cost OF
only 10 cents. The set includes
dress, petticoat. drawer and sacque.
Can you think OF any more accept
able holiday or birthday gift TO a
mother than Just such a useful and
dainty collection OF little garments?
There can never be too many OF
them, for a child wears out It's
clothes so quickly. and outgrows
them as fast, and II Is a comfort for
the neat mother 10 have a large
wardrobe for her little one. When
you plan making presents TO a
mother. don't embroider a pincush-
ion, or decorate a laundry bag, or
add To her collection OF whiskbroom
holders--unless she is not near
enough 10 you TO be able 10 accept
a more useful gift Just think how
you would like some pretty little gar
ment for your little one. and make
one--or a set. for your friend.
For child of the age Of one and a
half 10 three years the best mate
rials for making this wardrobe would
be nainsook or cambric for the un-
derwear; the same. or fine linen,
for the dress, and a nice quality of
flannel for the little sacque. Pink
and blue flannel are the favorite
tints for little ones sacques, be
cause white. while most fashiona Bile
for young children. often turns yel-
low when washed. and II f. not al.
ways easy TO clean white flannel
with gasoline. Besides, dry-cleaning
is expensive.
The dress is nothing more than
the customary yoke and skirt OF
small children, but how attractive
the bit OF a yoke may be made with
delicate embroidery and narrow
valenciennes lace: or how sweet a
little needlework looks upon child's
garment, There is so little 10 sew,
and the effect is so charming that
one has all the fun OF making n
dolls garment with the added pleas
ure OF knowing that II will be OF
service.
The underwear should be just as
fine and simple as possible. and only
n narrow frill at the bottom Is per
missible. or an embroidery scallop,
or a hemstitched or featberstItched
hem.

Of the flannel sacque there are a
number OF small braids used for pur.
poses OF applique that look as lovely
as hand embroidery.

rug will last.
There is nothing that saves work
in the kitchen more than the liberal
use Of rugs. A woven rag rug '1ike
grandmother used to make" should
be placed In front OF the table
where the dishes are washed.
A rubber rag placed just inside
the door saves many marks on the
floor and much backache for the wo-
man who must keep the kitchen door
clean. Buy rugs and save soap and
water as well as time and your
strength and many a backache.

How to Clean Furs Perfectly At Home
BY CAROLINE COE.

Most dark colored furs may be
cleaned and freshened by the use Of
bran. If the fur is short the process
is easy and perfect.
Heat the bran. stirring all the

hands. Shake the bran ont and ap-
ply more hot bran. The more ap-
pIicatious the more successful the
cleaning will be- Shake out all
bran, then hang the fur In the open
air and brush until all dust and bran
has disappeared.
Mink fur is treated IN the same
way, only corn meal must be used
in place of bran. II the furs seem

Is conceded a place among the very
