FOR BABY

Baby's dressmaklng bills are some
thing to make father worry. Note this
simple little thing in white crepe de
chine with ruffles of white chiffon,
lovely enough for little queen, and it
has that kind Of price tag, too. But
it is the newest baby cloak, a Gabruder
Masse design, and can be copied in
china or corded silk.
1t is gathered quite full on a shallow
yoke. The collar is hand embroider-
ed and the long sleeves are very much
pulled.
