Dear Helen:
"Excuse me for not writing sooner
I haven I any cus for not writing,
but you win please forgive me. Helen,
Christmas is soon here and 1 have only
one thmg and Helen could you please

II you want something for a girl
friend why not make a pretty cami-
sole? Take one and one half yards
of lace and one and one half yards of
vivid pink satin or crepe de chene
about eight or nine inches wide. Sew
the ace n material together with a
feather stitch. Have the seam under
one of the arms and not in the front
or back. Turn down about one alt
an inch at the top n put ribben in
At and then you will not need any
shoulder straps.
