are quickly made when time is
growing short.
I like them best made from light
colored prints, and checked ging
hams, with bright bindings, but the
recipient's taste is always to be con
sidered rather than that of the giver,
and some housewives love big, dark
aprons which take hard usage with
out showing soil.
I make a list of those women for
whom certain garments would be
suitable, then check through it, us
ing the pattern for friends who are
separated by enough miles so they
will never find themselves wearing
a garment identical with someone
else's.
With children such precautions
are unnecessary. Often they enjoy
being dressed alike and are never
distressed if they meet a "twin.
Slips and Blouses
0»e of last year's most successful
gift patterns was a slip, which was
trimmed with embroidery and rib
bon-threaded
beading.
ments in length were easy. Shoulder
straps were simply pinned at the
bodice to allow for their adjust
ment.
Adjust
The beading was used for shoulder
straps, around the top of the bodice
and at the joining of dust ruffle and
skirt. Cost of materials was between
$2 and $3.
Blouses may be made of almost
any material which is not too heavy.
Nylon, rayon or silk are most fre
quently used, though cotton, too, is
very good. They may be tailored in
the simplest of shirtwaist styles,
which are becoming to anyone, or
be made quite elaborate, the choice
being made to please the lady who
receives the gift.
If she is the busy mother of small
children, perhaps she will prefer cot
ton or a rayon which may be tubbed
along with the regular washing. If,
on the other hand, her budget allows
no luxuries, she may greatly appre
ciate something impractical, which
she might not feel free to buy for
herself.
This applies, too, to dresses or neg
ligees, though when I make the for
mer for guests, I usually make them
of cotton in a style which will be
serviceable as a housedress. They
go to the lady who likes the durabil
ity of home sewing, yet hasn't time
to do it herself.
Children's Clothing
In the field of children's clothing,
the choice is wide. There are
dresses, of course, since they are eas
iest and most gratifying to make. I
prefer cottons, since they are wash
able and come in such a wide variety
of colors, patterns and weights. The
sheers include voile, organdy, ba
tiste, which may be either plain or
embroidered; dotted swiss, and dim
ity. The heavier materials, gingham,
percale, chambray, present dainty
checks, small figures, and plain,
clear colors.
I trim the sheers with lace, and
with ribbon ties; the heavier dresses
with pipings, bindings, small, easy
to iron pockets, white collars. The
size may be varied as long as the
shoulders fit. Children vary a lot in
shoulder width and, since the length
must always be adjusted, the most
important consideration is shoulder
width, along with neck size and
armholes.
Children's aprons, while cute,
should be given with care, for some
mothers find them a nuisance, just,
something extra to wash and iron.
