 I am glad to publish these helpful Reader. but I would ike my Reader Friends to understand that I cannot undertake to print knitting or crochet directions for any article requested nor can I give such directions in my replies to personal letters
 l believe that those directions may help mothers to reduce the cost of her cht1d's winter wardrobe. One young mother I know of made such a suit as this by ripping out an old sweater Of her own wrapping the yarn around a shinsIe. then steaming it over a kettle spout (to get the crinl1es out), and letting 1t dry.
 If you happened to miss the first part of these directions yesterday, please do not write to me for tkem, as I havo no copies. Get a back copy of the paper from the circulation de- partment of this newspaper.
