cent of money into it outside Of what
little the dye, and sewing silk had cost.
The only promising thing in her scrap
bag were some pieces Of black velvet and
she hesitated a long time before deciding
to use them because her own impression
was that black was too "old' a color for
~'oert for Betty, but on consulting
the Bride about It over the telephone her
reply was:
ITS just the thing I'll come over to
! tea and bring the fashion magazine that
has just come in the mail, and that has
colored plates. There are several pages
Of little girls coats and a number Of
them show black trimming"
Being thus assured that It would be all
right she cut out a little black velvet
collar, and a pair Of cuffs and when the
Bride appeared for tea. she had it basted
and fitted and the seams sewed up on
the machine and was ready to do the
hand work on it while they sat and
chatted and had their tea.
Il think T. Is too sweet for words"
exclaimed the Bride enthusiastically; lit
doesn't seem possible that It can be that
faded old gray coat Of Helen's that you
showed me the other day and that tiny
little bit Of black velvet is just the thing
for even a tot like Betty. What kind
Of buttons will you use?'
81 haven't anything I'm my hutton bag
that would possibly do" said Mrs.
Hooper. with the exception Of some SORT
of crystal ones that were on something Of
mine once. hut even they are too small
and not a pretty shape"
why don't you cover some wooden
molds with a piece Of the material and
have rose colored cloth buttons?' asked
the Bride They would be much pref
tier think than any other kind"
Il believe that's what 7 will do
agreed Mrs Hooper, and then II ! cut
a little cross stitch or center Of heavy
black silk thread II viii make quite a
fancy looking button"
well, that's settled" observed the
Bride as she put the button bag through
which she had been searching back into
the work basket Then how about her
hat?" Has she anything special to wear
with this pretty cOat?"
mo, I don't believe she has" admitted
Mrs Hooper. II suppose l shall have 10
cover n little frame If n becoming shape
with the material Of the coat the way |
did Helen's and then trim It with some
thing"
IF you could only get remnant Of
corded silk the same shade as the coat,
said the Bride. at wouldn't take but a
prettier than this wooden goods for hat
covering. 1t was all right for Helen, but
It is too heavy for Betty"
''Rut don't want Il to cost much OBJ
iected Mrs. Hooper, land If l use TINS
ma terial and hunt up some scraps for
trimming In my work bag, I'll only have
to buy the frame which won't be more
than % cents" -.
at know" unused the Bride. but It
i'll not nft frhf
TO put more than - cents into Retty's
winter hat without regretting H. 7 wish
you'd let me shop for a piece Of silk to-
morrow while you are doing your mar
keting and then l can meet you after
ward and come home to tea with you
every well" said Mrs. Hooper. but I
shall limit you to almost nothing for the
material so it isn't going to be easy to
find what You want"
"I'll take a chance" laughed the Bride,
land here is little scrap Of black fur
for a band across thu front and I'll make
some tiny pink silk flowers to fasten on
either side and a fitting hat to match that
pretty coat will be the result"
