Trim little serving aprons, like those
shown in the picture given here, are
made of lawn, dimity, dotted null,
cross-bar muslin or any other of the
half transparent and inexpensive cot
ton goods that launder well. The pat
tern is neat and graceful and makes II
possible to cut the apron from small
pieces OF goods which one may have
left over from other things. The mar
row apron is cut with panel and bib
in one at the center and two side
cores. These are set together with
long strips OF the material or with a
contrasting material or with embroid-
cry insertion. The strips are long
enough to pass over the shoulders and
cross at the back. They are pinned to
the waist line and covered by the band
or ties that fasten the apron in bow
with short ends, at the back
The manner Of setting together and
finishing them is very simple. At the

Church begging is undoubtedly do

that -worshipers should not be en-

portion Of the money collected for
church purposes Is unwillingly given
by people who are not only not direct

times even opposed thereto. Thus
