becomes decora tive another scheme is to put a girl on her mettle to keep dads buttons sewed on i to learn to patch j repairing rents and patching is dif ficult even for adults but an interest ing way to teach patching is to let a little girl applique crepe fruit flat on somo more crepe of contrasting color in other words teach the idea with pretty materials and decorative effects threecornered rents that must be darned and pressed should probably ba taught on old materials then the child does not worry if the first effort is not a complete success explain that the stitches are merely like
