dressmaker.
For candymaking and similar
work-play tasks, nothing takes the
place of a fudge apron. This Is cut
IN one piece, has wee bits OF sleeves,
a round neck. pockets Zone OF two)
and strings that tie a. the back. Il
lends itself TO development In the
ginghams, cretonnes, percales, etc,
but is also goOd-loOking In voile. The
lower edges of the apron may be I'm
ished in square outline, or the edges
may be rounded.
The house apron IS a practical thing
not only for use about the home, but
Tor q gift OF prize at club and church
affairs. Some Of the daintiest fudge
aprons conceivable are fashioned Of
mixed cotton and linen dish-towelling
and trimmed with crOss-stitch en-
broidery or. meryeri ed braid. Rick
rack, stitched on perfectly straight or
woven into simple designs Is also an
effective trimming. Many women,
and summer increases the number
who do not wish 10 cha 'ge from the
comfortable informal costume OF the
morning, supply themselves with
number OF aprons in sheer, inexpen-
slve materials and wear them about
the house until late afternoon forsak-
ing them for the voile, orPandy OF silk
frock only for dinner and the trip 10
the movies afterward.
Dust caps form a prominent part OF
the house apron outfits. They may be
as original as the fancy dictates
Sometimes they are shown trimmed
with a medallion or 30 Of filet crochet
and an edging 20 match. The medal
lion forms the center, about which the
material Is gathered, after which a
band is added. French, Dutch, Bel
gian and Red Cross bands seem the
favorite finishes for dust caps. They
require but small amount OF mate
rial and Il sometimes happens that
the shape OF the crown is decided by
the amount and shape Of the material
left from making the belt and supply
collar and cuffs. Nothing goes to
waste in the plans Of the truly effic-

this season for the apron made Of ere

this trimming appears again on the

plain color and triming II with some

Unbleached muslin makes charming
aprons for lighter forms OF housework
and when embroidery or braid adds
a bit OF color, the effect Is delightful.
One model, for instance, has the short
kimono sleeves cut in one with the
waist, the neck being finished in round
outline. There ere large pockets, the
front sides Of which are extended 10
form tabs which fasten about the
narrow, straight belt on either side Of
the front Of the apron. About the neck
and on the pockets IS a rose design
worked in cross-stitch embroidery,
blue and pink being used for the flow
ers and green for the foliage.
The two-piece aprons are made in
variety Of materials, but when devel-
oped in check gingham or cretonne
and edged with oldfashioned rick
rack braid, they are especially good

fashioned that the front extends over
