WENDY'S LITTLE DRESSMAKERS My Dear Children, Wouldn't you fed grand if you made a stnart. new pull-on hat'.' You can manage it. quite easily if you can get, a small piece of (doth—serge, or something similar. Cut out four shapes like diagram A first of all: the measurements given are only a suggestion, and you'll have to adapt them to your own headtit ting. If you cut out the shapes first in paper and tack them all together, like diagram B, you'll be able to lit the. pattern on your head, and take it in or let it out. according to your re-

quire me nt:-.. Whon the paper pattern is made to your satisfaction, cut it out in the cloth, and stitch the four pieces firmly together. Measure round the bottom of the crown thus formed, and cut a strip of material an inch longer, and about live inches wide; join the two short ends together like diagram and then slip the edge of this circle. iust inside the crown as indicated in diagram D, taking care to have the wrong side, uppermost. This now forms the brim, which must be sew n to the edge of the crown. Xow turn in a hem round flic, bottom, as shown by the duffed lines X 1 i . and fold file brim up over the erown, like diagram K.
