ERE'S some more of the John-and-Mary designs that

flannel.

LOOK first at the small boy at the top right of Angrave's drawing. He's got his two-piece made up in saxe bluc

First there's the sun-suit, consisting of shorts attached to a bib-top in front. The shorls button at the side. The shoulder straps, which button on to the bib in front, eross over his back and are stitched to the waistline, which is slightly gathered on to elastic. There's a button and buttonhole at each side and Both belt and straps through which a narrow belt is threaded. siraps are navy blue in this case. And of course there's a pocket. His blazer is edged with navy blue all round-and has two pockets. So there are three pockets in all-almost as many as father has.

Ilis blue linen sun-helmet is made at home, too, from sec- Lions included in the same pattern. The crown is made from six gores of fabric all stitched together. The narrow brim is of double fabric. The whole is lined and mounted on an inside band. Cotton fabrics, linens or wool jersey would be equally suitable for this outfit. If the fabric is 35in. wide you will need the fol- lowing quantities of material for sun-suft, jacket and hat: Size 20 and 21, 14 yards; size 22, 23, 1 yards; size 23%, 2 yards; size 24, 25, 2 yards. Plus three-eighths yards of 35-inch con- trast fabric for the trimmings.

Another view of the same suit is shown on the second boy in the drawing. In this case the jacket is made up in striped flannel as a regulation blazer. For the jacket only you would need from three-quarters to one yard of 35-inch fabric. You can see in this view exactly how the crown of the hat looks.

NOW look at little sister Mary, at the top left of the group. Her sunny weather outfit is made up in checked gingham, but lightweight flannel, wool jersey or linen would be suitable also. Or wool delaine, which can be bought now in some very pretty floral designs.

The bodice is stitched on to the shorts in front and extends, rather like a brassiere, to fusten at the centre back, The shoulder straps button on at the back, are crossed, then drawn over the shoulders and slotted through the bodice front to tie in a bow. You can see the back view clearly on the second girl in the drawing.

The sunbonnet is very smart and new-style, and wonderfully easy for washing and ironing. Brim and crown are quite separate. The top end of the crown first buttons on to the brim, is then folded in half and again buttoned to the brim at the two corners. That may sound a bit complicated, but you'll find it's as simple as adding one and one.

A chin strap ties it in position.

Again you'll find the back view on the second girl.

For sunsuit and hat you will need from 1% to 1% yards of For sunsuit alone,

This biting exercise also does more than anything else to keep the teeth sound, healthy and regularly spaced, and to promote the correct formation of the mouth and jaws.
