The sleeve drapery could consist of one pointed piece, Looking not very unlike a dress is the semi-prince ss apron, in cream colored Swiss. Two bands of all-over Swiss or embroidery extend from the shoulders to the hem of each side of the front panel that carries six pearl buttons. The sides are shaped mecting at the waistline, but not held together, giving ample freedom to the arms. The skirt portion is laid in plaits, headed by a band matching the panels on the sides; the fastening in back is made under two pearl buttons, Another little apron that gives the impression of being a dress is made with Japanese sleeves. The waist and skirt portions are laid in plaits, brought together by a band at the waistline; the same idea is carried out in back. Large pearl buttons are placed on the shoulder seams and on the waistband. Instead of sewing buttons directly to the material, much annoyance may be saved by making small eyelets and putting in the buttons on rings, that may be taken out as often as the apron is sent to the laundry.

One cannot but question the wisdom of ever eliminating such a practical article of dress from the school child's wardrobe. As a means of furthering the existence of a soiled or worn frock and of protecting a perishable one. its permanent presence is amply justified. The innate vanity of the growing child, however, rebels at the thought of wearing anything that does not appeal to its conception of beauty. The school apron must be attractive to the eye or it is forthwith condemned. "Why wear an apron to hide a pretty dress?" is the question naturally raised. Why, indeed, were not the reason a Practical one. The sketches of aprons given today will surely not offend the critical eye of the exacting little lady.
