PRETTY CONCEITS FOR BABY

Any Number of Dainty Things Do signed to Show Off the Monarch of the Household. Pretty lace caps for babies are easily made by using white lace allover, and drawing in the fullness at the back with ribbon run through a tiny hem. The edges of the bonnet are trimmed with lace ruffles, and the long strings are made of fine lace insertion about three inches wide. A lainty carriage robe for summer use is made of fine dotted swiss, made oyer a pink foundation and lined with a thin sheet of cotton wadding. The robe may be ruffled with swiss, edged with lace, or finished around the edge with a small pink and white silk cord. It is a good plan when making a carriage robe to put a pocket on the under side In which to place small articles. A pillow for baby’s carriage is made with wide insertion and ribbon the same width. It is tied bolster style at both ends, the frilled portion being finished with narrow lace and ribbons. The pad tor the baby buggy can be made of white linen, very plain, with a border of insertion sewed about three inches from the edge. This is run through with ribbon, making a flat border to the pad .when completed. Finish one end with buttons and buttonholes.
