demand for conservation Of everything
vomen have been quick to recognize
the uses OF the apron and have has
famed to protect really good clothes by
wearing it in the strenuous working
hours.
FRS, the Red Cross made the long
sleeyed white apron, all enve.oping,
imperative during the time spent in
the vorkrooms; then the canteen SER
vice for our lighting men brought out
the next demand. 1t was not. how
ever until Mr.. Hoover popularized
home food conservation and the
Hoover apron dress was designed that
the once cast aside dress protection
came back into It's very own.
We are all more or less familiar with
The Red Cross apron. 1t IL patterned
after a surgeons operating gown. and
a, first was developed in material as
thick and as heavy as that used for
the medical man. Later on slight
notifications appeared in the square
Dutch necks and the deep pointed ones,
and now the Red Cross apron Is made
up In white material as thin as or
candle. These newer affairs are be-
coming to every figure. as the thin
material can be much more success
fully adjusted than the earlier very
heavy ones.
Now that the canning season is on
the apron is really indispensable. Such
good ones are brought out. from the
wide calico ones of our grandmothers'
tine to the most foolish frilly affairs,
all ribbons and lace.
The big calico aprons look COM

They have bbs and pockets. and for

colors, small black or blue figures and
