You spend one-third of your life in bed. The
more comfortably you sleep, the steader your
nerves, the better your digestion and the
clearer your head. Those are medical facts.
Supreme comfort comes only with long-nbre
filler. You cannot judge mattress by the
ticking any more than a cake by the icing.
You must rely upon the integrity of the
maker to put proper materials inside Con-

EFFICIENT HOUSEKEEPING
BY LAURA KHKIIAN.

this spring and summer. All Of these
aprons were made without patterns,
were simply originated by these
clever mothers, who could not AFFORD
to buy their children ready-made
aprons in the shops. If the reader
cannot make a garment without a
pattern to guide her she can buy a
simple apron pattern, or she can make
her own apron pattern by pinninG
pieces of newspaper together on the
child.
An Apron for the Little Cook
This apron was made for a child who
liked to help mother cook. 1t was
made of light colors SO that when
the little girl sifted -four in baking,

material. for instance. The body Of
the apron was of white muslin with
bands Of bright yellow across the
hem, around the low-cut neck, and
on the pocket tops. Appliqued on
these broad yellow muslin bands were
pieces of the white muslin cut In the
shape of bowls and cups. The button
hole stitch secured them in place.
An Apron for the Little Gatdener.--
This was made of tan Indian Head,
with pieces Of red. yellow and blue
chambray cut in the shape of toma-
toes, appliqued near the hem.
larg yellow tomato formed the patch

colored tomatoes" completed the
picturesque costume. AS I looked at
this pretty and sensible garment I
realized how many hours of ironing

made it. A stout cushion of tan In

while planting seeds and wedding

quently embraces the sharpening of
pencils as well as the using of pen
cils-and too often the pencil-scrawl-
ed sheet is placed face down on the
freshly laundered frock, leaving a
dusty smudge. One mother friend Of
mine guarded against this common
mishap by making her little girl an
apron of old-rose cretonne to wear
over her clean dresses. The apron
was made perfectly plain. with
large patch pocket, and was edged
all around with white rick-rack
braid. An old-rose hair ribbon was
provided for the child to wear with
the apron.
An Apron for General wear.-This
was made Of unbleached muslin with
large colored flowers cut from Gre

Ono large flower formed the patch
pocket.

Welcoming Back the Pinaiore.

When grandma was a little girl
she wore crisp white "pinafores" to
protect her dresses. Today the childs
pinafore has come back-but instead
of its being white, 1t is fashioned of
bright cretonnes or of ecru tints
with bands and patch" pockets Of
teddy bear" stamped goods.
This is sensible change. For an
all-white apron requires too much
laundering to make it a practical gar
ment for child. Then, too, the mod
ern colored aprons for little folks are
prettier and gayer than the old-time
plain white ones-and childhood is
the happy time when bright colors
seem a natural accompaniment to
romps and fairy tales and all the
other care-free activities of our early
years.
am going to describe for my read
er mothers several aprons which
some of my friends have recently
made for their little girls to wear
