Everybody except babies wears bibs nowadays, and the point is to make an old dress new by varying them. Bibs may be flat and yet surround the neck and chest with becoming folds that do not neces sarily look like napkins tucked fo before dinner. The main thing is, first, to cut out in paper a becom ing hole for the neck. This can [be done empirically, or an old col-

It should be remembered that the more circular the bib the more folds will fall down in front. Tak- ing the neck line, therefore, a point should be marked on the front of the paper to which it is desired that the bib shall reach.

This gives excellent waterful of folds in front.
