Simple Frocks Are Liked

Speaking of the family sewing,
why not get it out of the way? That
familiar adage, “make hay while the
sun shines,” loses its appeal as far
as being housed in with a sewing ma
chine is concerned on a spring day,
when all out-of-doors coaxes and
teases to come out into the snnlit
open, Rather does it seem wiser to
sew and sew while the snow flies
and all the landscape looks 'dreary
and uninviting. For then, and then
only, ean_one experience that grand
and glorious feeling of having the

Imagine anything in the way of a

of the many happy thoughts for

Printed pique #nd printed dimity
are charming for school frocks. Make
them up very simple like the one in

call for unbelted straight effects from
shoulder to hem, ag shown here. Very
short, too, continues to be the rule,
The use for contrasting materiais
is apparent in the styles coming in
for spring and summer. A favorite
idea is to combine piques, ging
