Check Gingham

Peasant aprons, again, are suitable for almost all occasions and costumes. Here is an idea for a home-made apron of the peasant kind.

In the main it is made of black and white check gingham, and the apron part is fairly generous, coming almost to the edge of the skirt and being drawn with reasonable fullness on to the shaped black belt, so that it passes well round at each side of the waist when tied on with its black ties. The belt part is double, and it curves up towards the middle, where it is formed into 2 wide V for fitting well to the figure. All the lower part is made from the plain black material, which must be Meaning and Methods of Charm," following which there will be a display of late model frocks.

On November 1 those members who wish to view the dahlias at Jessfield Park should gather at the main entrance at 10 am. Refreshments will be served later at the residence of Mrs. Harrison King.

The usual "Library Tifin" will be held at the Club on November 7 at 1230 pin. while a programme of American' music will feature the meeting which takes place on the afternoon of November 14 Mrs. Harrison King will give a talk on "Persian Rugs" at the meeting which takes place on the afternoon of November 21. On November 28, there will be the regular bridge and mahjongg party at 3 pin. at the Club Rooms.
