FOOTWEAR FOR BABY

Now that cool days are here and
cooler ones are to follow we must not
forget the wee baby. So why not
make a cute little pair of bootees to
wear in the carriage? They will
keep the babys feet warm and are
easy to slip on
These little carriage boots are made
just like the carriage or auto boots
for grown-ups. The daintiest of pink
wash satin is used and a pair of pink
soleS intended for use in making a
pair of bedroom slippers is just what
you want for the foundation.
From the edge of these so1es the
little boots are made quite high al
most up to the kiddie's knees. An in
terlining of flannel or lambs wool
should be placed between the layers
of the satin and white fur or swans
l. down edges the top and the line of the
opening.
Ribbon strings are sewed on about
! two inches apart and when on tied
/ together to keep them in place.
These little boots slip over the baby's
shoes and are very comfortable as
well as being very pretty.
