There are two things which al
ways come with the spring, and
both of them get on fathers nerves
just bit more chan his golf craze
gets on mothers. They are spring
housecleaning and the two weeks
visit of the sewing woman. Father
never feels so out of place as when
the house istfilled with the fragile
paper patterns, and threads and
rawlings are clinging tenaciously
TO everything. and mother is al
ways talking with her mouth full Of
PINS and calling him up three or
four times to remind him to match
that thread or get some samples OF
pink silk.
But it is in these spring days that
the summer wardrobes are created.
The summer suit, the mOrniTg
frocks, the dainty gowns for the
garden parties. the wash skirts and
all the other alluring things for
warm days Last year there was a
vogue for printed calico because it
was a conservation measure, but
this wear it will be the vogue be-
causesit is charming and expensive.
Yes, although a cotton material the
newest calico is imported. hence
the high cost of simple little frock
like this one. almost, every home
dressmaker will have lat least one
calico frock to make during her
two weeks occupation of the family
dwelling and this style is very at
tractive because of its simplicity.
Red and white figured calico. a
gathered skirt, pockets. a V-neck.
short sleeves and black velvet bows
and there you have it, the demure
frock Of our grandmothers.
