"how-to-make" a perfectly ador-
able bonnet-and-upron ensemble should
Interest fair gardeners who aspire to
look as sprightly and lovely as the
flowers they cultivate.
The thrilling thing ahout the bonnet
l that It Is really nothing more or
less than a flat three-cornered piece
which can be Ironed as easily as a
handkerchief, and which through In-
genious fastenings can be formed Into
a bonnet.
As Is so clearly shown In the pic-
ture, the bonnet is made out of plain
and print, while the apron Is made of
the print, piped with the solid color.
In this instance green percale Is com-
bined with a handsome "confetti" pat-
terning, which introduces gay reds
and blues and yellows.
A half-yard of 30-lnch plain mate-
rial will make the foundation for two
made so as to slip over the head.
There Is no opening at the sides, the
pointed and piped front portion being
stitched to the back portion.
It Is very old-fashioned to think
of gingham In terms of kitchen
aprons and workaday house frocks,
for gingham this year registers In
the "classy" fabric list. The smart
set having adopted gingham for
Its very own, Is wearing it through-
out the Informal hours of the
day. In gingham the style-wise play
tennis, play bridge, go swimming or
stroll In dress parade on the beach.
For town and country wenr there are
gingham ensembles, too, and they are
too swagger for words.
Somewhere, although It does not
show In the picture, there Is very
liable to be found a gingham short
Jacket to "go with" the frock as
shown here, for as suggested above
Ifi^N
bonnets. Cut the half-yard exactly In
tbe center so as to make two squares,
each 18 by 18 Inches. The Idea is to
cut a three-cornered piece out of one
of these squares, two sides of the
square forming two sides of the right-
angled triangle. Curve It across the
other two sides thus forming tbe third
Bide of the triangle as shown In Fig.
A. B. C. Hem this triangle of plain
percale. or gingham or sateen all
around—about a %-Inch hem.
Next cut out of the printed material
a panel about 9 inches wide, shaping
It to fit the curved end of the triangle
(see Fig. D. E,). Finish this all
around with a ruflle of white organdie
l',3 inches wide. Then machine-stitch
row after row this printed part nfter
fitting and hasting It to the triangle—
(see sketch in lower left corner). Cut
a pointed strap measuring 2% inches
wide and about 5 Inches from point to
HOW TO MAKE BONNET-AND-
APRON ENSEMBLE
the gingham ensemble costume Is one
of fashion's favorite themes this sea
son. Simple checks, such as employed
for the making of this dress, are no
doubt In the lead, although gingham
of any patterning "stunds In" with
fashion.
As practical as they are modish are
the jacket-and-skirt gingham suits
which women are wearing for shop-
ping, for motoring and for general
daytime wear. The skirts are often
plaited, buttoning over sheer lingerie
tuck-in blouses, while the Jackets are
that simply fashioned they launder
without the least trouble. It adds to
the sum of chic when a necktie of

point. Self line this. Stitch It all
around and make a buttonhole In each
point.
This strap (Fig. F) Is then sewed
across the point of the large triangle
after It has been folded over as shown
lO sketch marked F ut the top. Sew
on three dress snaps as the sketch
shows. Also sew on two buttons, one
at each side where the points of the
printed portions meet. These buttons
are exactly as far apart as the button-
holes In the strap, for the strap Is
brought down and buttoned over as
shown In the last little sketch at the
bottom of the picture.
The apron has a yoke at the back
matching gingham Is worn with the
white or pastel tinted blouse. For the
blouse, organdie, handkerchief linen
or pique are favored materials.
Red and white gingham for the va
cation-time ensemble is very popular.
The entire costume Is carried out In
the color combination, even to tbe
shoes and hat Including probably a
red leather belt and a pocketbook to
match.
Along with Its other accomplish-
ments gingham has succeeded In mak-
ing Itself generally popular In the
beach and bathing suit realm.

OSTRICH AND SHEEP
The ostrich and the mountain
sheep were feeling better. They were
Doth in the zoo talking from their
yards to each other, for the day was
very warm.
"I'erhups," said Ulackle, "the trouble
was with us a little while ago that
we were having spring weather."
"You mean, my dear ostrich," said
the mountain sheep named Jim, "spring
fever."
"And why, pray tell, do I mean
spring fever?" asked Bluekie.
"Because that is the thing people
get in the spring."
"But I'm not 'people' said Blaekie."
"What is spring fever, anyway? 1
only know It comes In the spring."
"Ilow strange," suid Jim with a
funny little smile.
"Why strange?" asked Blackle, In
quite a serious tone, as though he did
not understand at all.
"Oh, I meant it us a Joke," said
Jim. "When I said it was strange
that spring fever came In the spring
I meant it wasn't strange at all, but
quite the most natural time for It to
come."
"And so," said Blackle, "you said it
was strange when you thought it
wasn't strange!"
"From the tone of my voice you
should have known it was said In
fun," said Jim.
"I suppose so," said Blackle, smil-
ing a foolish smile.
"You see spring fever Is something
which makes people or animals feel

"How Strange," Said Jim.
sick and poorly and as though they
didn't want to do anything at all."
"That's what I had," screamed
Blackle. "1 didn't want to do any-
thing at all.
"That was Just the way 1 felt."
"Yes," said Jim, "it was Just the
way I was feeling.
"But that was some time ago."
"Some time ago," said the Ostrich.
"It is summer now. I don't mind the
summer. I like the dry heat.
"I like heat anyway."
"Well, I'm not so fond of It," snld
Jim, "but I do feel better than I did
in tile spring."
Then the Mountain Sheep went hack
to talk to some other friends and the
Ostrich looked around and sometimes
grinned and sometimes moved his
head from side to side, and all the
time looked just as foolish as he couhJ
look.
lie looked as though he had started
to smile over something—he didn't
quite know what—and now he didn't
know whether lie should-stop smiling
—but decided lie wouldn't bother tc
stop.
Oil ho was a foolish fellow, was
Blackle, the Ostrich.
But one thing lie had sense enough
to feel—and that was that It was
very foolish to worry over being fool-
ish when that was the way lie was.
In that way he really had quite a
lot of sense, and perhaps wusn't quite
so foolish as we think.
He chewed a Utile and thought a
little—but the thinking he did was
very, very, very, very, very, very
little—in fact hardly any at all.

This low-priced car has every modern feature
for driving safety and dependable performance
ADVANCED, modern engineering througk-
A out the entire chassis of the new Superior
Whippet is responsible for smoothness and relia-
bility of performance, consummate ease of han-
dling, and maximum driving safety.
Whippet's big four-wheel brakes are of the posi-
tive, mechanical type—acting quickly and surely.
Both the Whippet Four and Whippet Six have
considerably greater braking area than any of their
competitors. Other important Whippet advan-
tages include extra long wheelbase, oversize balloon
tires, full force-feed lubrication, silent timing chain,
"Finger-Tip Control," higher compression engine,
invar-strut pistons, and, in the Six, a heavy seven-
bearing crankshaft.
