 { Dutch AProna-Beside the transpar- ent apron there is what we call the
 Dutch apron. They are made of
 dark blue, red or green imported
 sateen, with q printed border in a
 contrasting dull hue that is half the
 depth of the entire apron. The border printed Holland sateen is about 24 inches wide and has the i decoration along one edge so that the work Of making these aprons consists of narrowly hemming the two sides, turning over the top edge and shir- ring it three times across. This forms a half-inch frill and two and a h2lf-irch deep puffs against the front
 of the waist. The Dutch apron has
 no strings, but is secured to the belt ! with fancy pins, preperably of Dutch 2 silver and handiwork.
 Some make them of transparent ,, tabliers of dark hued chiffon or nous seline de soie with a wide printed border while other apron makers ap- ply the borders of foulard to plain , colored surah or china silk The , main thing is not to have your apron . longer than twenty inches when fin
 ished.
 Then there is the fudge apron, the :, coffee apron and the salad apron If any of the readers want to know how know.
