Guimpe Question Solved

Most mothers know the difficulty >f making a gulmpe fit on a restless child. Even when apparently well cut and fitted it will rise in an ugly fashion with each movement oT the child. One mother has solved this dlfficUl 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 much more comfortable on warm days net to have the three thicknesses of underwaist, guimpe and frojk. 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.
