PROTECTS THE SHIRT FRONT

Useful Article May Also Be Used as a Chest Protector When Weather Warrants IL A shirt front protector is no new idea, but it is an extremely useful one, for it not only protects the Bhlrt front from being soiled, but also forms a nice warm additional covering for the chest, and, in fact, it !s a little extra wrap that can be worn at any

time under a coat, for it very easily put on. For evening dress, it should be made of black quilted satin and lined on the inner side with soft white silk. As a chest protector it can be made from almost any remnant of warm material, and the darker the color, perhaps the better, as it will soil less quickly. It can be lifled with flannel and bound at the edges with narrow ribbon. One hook and eye sewn on in front at

the neck will be sufficient to keep it In place, or a tiny button and loop of cord can be used instead If preferred.
