The charm of a good potato salad Is lost buttons better, but there Is less strain and pull on the shoulders when they are used. Easy making and easy laun dering are also points kept constantly In mind in planning childrens clothing. Here la an all-in-one outfit for a little girl to weur on hot days. It eliminates the need for undergarments, yet has the outward appearance of a dress. It is made In two parts, with a detachable plaited skirt for easy laun dering. The self help Idea Is empha sized, since the dress has an Invisible front opening, snapping together under the blue froot trimming. The child can slso learn very quickly to button the skirt onto the waist, before she puts the dress on, If she Is once shown how the box plait comes In the middle of the front The seven buttons on the skirt are arranged so that there are two side-back buttons and none In the center back. The buttonholes are made vertical so the buttons will stay closed. A klmona style romper pattern was chosen, with a scam on the shoulder, and very short sleeves. Except where the collar-like trimming closes at the center front, It Is stitched flat, fitting the outline of the neck. The pnnty part of the romper tins an Invisible drop seat, and Is made on a fold of the goods to give ample room through the crotch, and the very short leva are bound with plain blue material like the little skirt, the neck and arm hole trimming and the top of the pocket "Vitamin" er "Vitamin"?
