adventures With q Purse

7 KNOW a perfectly adorable little
L baby. Jane Winifred. Isn't that a
pretty name? One of those warm days
last week her mother sat her down in
the coach without a cap. and. poor little
tot, she collected a cold in her head
Her mother lamented that her winter
caps were too warm and, as she was
growing like a weed. summer caps were
an extravaganza. OF course, when the
baby catches cold her head must be
kept covered. | saw one of the shops
IL very dainty cap. made of some sheer
material that would not be too warm
for that little head with its soft. golden
down. The turn back piece was en-
broidered and was ever 50 pretty. The
cap was priced at 81 25, which is not
very expensive, even though it Is soon
outgrown.
Satine petticoats are very necessary
for the summer dresses, but at the
same time, to be worn with the sheer
crisp organizes, fancy petticoat is
needed. One Of the shops has white
undcrskirt that Is really not too thin,
and the entire ruffle is trimmed with
Irish lace, and on one side is q bow
of soft. pink silk Real Irish showing
through cornfower blue organdie, my
word, wouldn't one feel set up.
II you like to embroider you may be
interested In the little girls dresses
that come already stamped. Handwork
for the tiny tot makes her look 50
dainty, and after all Is not so much
trouble. These dresses l saw have not
so very much work on them, and are
only ten cents. Doesn't seem possible,
does it?
