Child’s Apron.

AVhpn tTie cfiild- feels too grown-up to wear a bib. one can persuade it to cover its pretty frock with an apron, provided the apron is attractive. For this purpose a clever mother designed and imide a very cunning model. She fused blue-checked gingham for thei_aprqn and cut it so that the apron hail sleeves. By using the kimono idea, ' cutting the apron and sleeves in one, the pattern called for very little extra work or material. The neck line wa* bound with blue braid and the same trimnied the narrow cuffs into which the sleeves were gathered. Across the bottom of the-apron was stitched a strip of on which figure of children were painted. The muslin forms a deep pocket, which kidiiie Ctdl use'for any purpose she desires. The id..a is no doubt taken from; the pocket apron z so much in favor with grown-ups who do fancywork.
