1t Is intended for children Of from
five to 10 years of age.
Now, In the giving Of gifts to chill

white goods and edge II with real
hand embroidery, or needlework Of
some sort, or else with narrow
and good embroidery edging or one
of valenciennes lace. Aprons OF
this sort, however. are most useful
for all occasions, when a good
strong cotton material should be Sc
iected. There are a number OF such
fabrics which are as heavy as the
heavier weaves of cretonne, and
many of them very beautiful in tex

spilled on the apron, from soaking

This Is a valuable thing In connec-

thick and the other thin.
A pretty way to make this apron
for a gift would be to use q plain.
