Guimpe Question Solved

Most mothers know the difficulty if making a guimpe fit on a restless child. Even when apparently well cut and fitted it will rise in an ug>y sash ion with each movement of the child. One mother has solved this difficul ty in a way that may not be known to others. She cuts her small daughter’s guimpes to the waistline or as long as her underwaist, and finished the edge, with a row of buttons. To the buttons can be fastened the drawers and petticoats. Not only does the weight keep the guimpe frock from "riding” but it is more comfortable on warm days not to nave the three thicknesses of under Waist, guimpe and frock. The guimpe need be made of fine material only as far as it shows beyond the yoke of frock. Below it a muslin, nainsook or other material used for underclothing can be substituted.
