A NEEDLEWORK APRON

Of any softly-coloured linen could a, so-useful little apron be with two capacious pockets to hold—in one, any fancy needlework you may have on hand, and in the other that bit of knitting which you love to pick up at odd moments. Not only does this type of little apron keep the work in hand fresh and dainty, but you kno'w "where it is. The busy housewife can tie on J* eedlewor k apron such as this in a jiffy and get on with the job in hand. IN o looking in workbasket or hunting in drawers, only to find wool entangled or silks messed up by careless fingers. xou can either embroider the aprQn in gay, crude colourings by way of a finish, or applique on some cretonne flowers if you want a quicker effect.
