With a slip knot on the hook, draw thread tlirough this loop ; a^ain draw thread through this second loop and continue until the chain is of the length required. Slip Stitch (si). Having a st on the hook, put hook througli work ; draw tliread through work and loop on hook at the same time. UofBLE (d). Having a loop on the hook, put hook through work, draw thread through work (making two loops on the hook) ; thread over again and through both loops. (This stitch has been, especially in wool crochet, called "single crochet." But for the sake of standardizing the terms it is called "double," after the custom of workers in Irish crochet, eliminating entirely the name "single") Half Treble (h t). Having a through work, thread over sts on the hook), thread ove st on the hook, threarl over, hook - and through work (having three • and through all three sts at once. Treble (t). Having a st on the hook, thread over, hook through work, thread over and through work (having three sts on the hook), thread over and through two loops, thread ovi-r and again through two loops. Double Treble (d t). Having a st on the hook, thread over twice, hook through work, thread over and through wurk (having four sts on the hook), thread over and through two, over pnd through two, over and through two. Long Treble (1 t) or Triple Treble (t t). Having a st on hook, thread over three times, hook through work, thread over and draw through (having five sts on hook) thread over and work off by twos. Sometimes "1 t" is used for anything longer than d t, and the number of loops is stated. PicoT (p). A p is formed on a ch by joining the last four sts (or any given number) in a ring by working a si or a d, in the fourth st from hook. In the following directions a si is understood unless otherwise designated. Shell. A group of t, ch 1 (or more), the same number of t, all joined in the same st or over same ch, as (4 t. ch 3, 4 t). The number of t. as well as number of ch, may vary. "Shell over shell" the t are all made ovtr ch of shell below. Fancy Stitch (f). Having a st on the hook, draw loop through work, thread over and through one loop, thread over and through two loops. Afghan Stitch. Make a ch the length required, draw a loop through each st of ch until all are on the hook ; this is the first half of 1st row. Second half of row— Wool over, draw through 1st st, * wool over, draw through 2 sts ; repeat from * until there is but one loop left on hook. First half of 2d row — Draw a loop through each of the upright sts, until all are on the hook. Second half of 2d row— Like 2d half of 1st row. First and 2d half of 2d row are counted as one row of Afghan Stitch. To Bind off Afghan Stitcii. * Insert hook in 2d st, wool over, draw through the upright st and loop on hook ; repeat from * until all sts are bound off, ch 1, break wool. To Increase Afghan Stitch. At starting of row, draw a loop through ch st between two upright sts; and at ending of row, draw a loop through ch st between the last two upright sts of row. t'ross stitch designs are applied to afghan stitch in a number of articles, with good results, because of the distinct square of the afghan stitch. The designs on the different garments are worked out according to the diagram of color symbols, which is made for each one, A hea\->' rope silk is used, so the crosses stand up well from the wool. Knit (k). Purl (p). directed ; k off IMPORTANT. -Lady Wool has been selected because of its special softness and adaptability for baby garments. Thiswool may be found in the various stores under the following names: Lady Alice. Lady Jane. Ladyfair. Lady Grey, and Lady Betty. The crochet wool inentioned is the same as the soft fine twofold Saxony, Zephyr Shetland, or Shedand Zephyr and Super- fine Crochet, which may be obtained at all stores. INTRODUCTION IT is with a feeling of well placed confidence that the following pages of Babies' Garments are of- fered for copying. The garments themselves are in every way desirable, well planned, well executed, and not intricate beyond the ability of the average worker. The directions have been very carefully given and if carefully followed should insure success. Some- times a failure results for lack of a little care in fol- lowing directions, sometimes for want of the right sized needle, or sometimes because a different mate- rial is employed. While it is true in many cases a worker may substitute material or use a different needle or make changes in the directions and succeed, very often it means disaster: and then one inquires why the No. 30 thread does not produce the result of Xo. 150 in the model. Especial attention is called to the articles on pages 16 and 17, the complete outfit on page 16 being knitted of Saxony Wool, and that of page 17 being crocheted of Lady Wool. The knittmg is simple ribbing throughout the body of all the knitted outfit : and a very effective, easily worked crochet-stitch is used for the body of the crocheted outfit. Other articles throughout the book are noticeable for employing stitches that are new. or novel combina- tions of well known stitches, — the fancy stitch of Bootees on page 9, — the combination forming the stripe of the Sweater on page 10, — the bordering of Afghan strips on page 27 are examples. The Creeping Rug (Frontispiece) is a very interesting piece and will prove a great attraction for, and favorite of, the wee laddie or lassie fortunate enough to possess one. The embroidering of many of the articles is in the simplest manner imaginable, either in Cross-stitch, for which block patterns are given, or the universally admired Rambler Rose with its leaves of lazy-daisy stitch. Either one adds much to the beauty of the pieces, while dainty edges of silk crocheting finish the work handsomely. \ caution to the one who crochets much in cotton might be added, — when wool is used the crocheting should not be too tight, not loose enough to be "sloppy," vet loose enough to show the beaittv of the wool. These garments are all of that tension. ^^M^ I . • i ':"C ' HI I Ji IP.

The charm of this little garment is in the combina- tion of color and material, white fluffy crochet wool being chosen for the sleeves and body, and a softer wool also in w-hite for the yoke. This is over-shot wMth dainty pink or blue rope silk : collar and cuffs are of crochet silk, also in color, and ribbon bows and ties give an added touch of daintiness. The silk lining not only gives added warmth to the yoke por- tion, but helps to keep the little garment in shape.

TO LAUNDER WOOL GARMENTS IT is of the utmost importance to know how to launder these beautiful wool garments when they are soiled, and to this end a few "Nevers," as well as complete directions for correctly laundering, are here given. Never rub soap on the garments. Never wash them in hot water. Never wring them by twisting. Never hang them up to dry. Never use any but the purest white soap (Ivory is always best). Never change the temperature of the water for Mashing or rinsing. Never allow the garments to soak in the water. Never rub them on a washboard. DiRFXTioxs. — Procure Ivory soap and dissolve enough of it in lukewarm water to make a good frothy soapsuds. An ordinary wash-bowl or large pan of enameled ware would be large enough for any of the articles unless it be the .Af.ghans. Carriage Robes, or Creeping Rug : for any of these a small tub would give better results. The water should ni't lie hot, only lukewarm and kept at that tem- ]H-ratiire. Put one article at a time into the water and witli both hands squeeze the warm suds through it; keep on squeezin.g it until it seems clear, working as rapidly as possible. Wring the garment out by squeezing it tightly with Ixith hands, this is much better than to use a wringer. Have ready a second water of the same temperature with soap dissolved in it, if tlie piece is more than slightly soiled, and repeat the same process rapidly Have the water for rinsing the same temperature anii rinse with the same motions, squeezing always, not twisting. Usually one rinsing is sufficient, but if it seems to be necessary, rinse twice, each time in luke- warm water. .\fter the last rinsing and the garment is wrung dry as possible, spread it (without stretching) on a clean wliite cloth. As it drains and begins to dry, take it up in the hand.s, tossing it about and fluffing up the wool : this should be done in a warm room or in the warm sunlight. If there is but one color in the piece, or if it is all white, it may be dried in a heap, tossed over now and then. With any of the pieces having embroidery or finish of silk, especial care should be taken to dry the ar- ticle as fast as possible, to prevent the color of the silk running into the wool. Where white silk is used the greatest caution should be exercised, since white silk will turn vellow with a verv little heat. ■J V V W^ V skein white Lady Wool.

Line rohe with silk. In this carriage robe there is not only a charming combination of color, but an etfective contrast between plain and tufted crochet stitches, the plain blocks being in wliite with a colored cross-stitch ornamentation, and the tufted or fancy blocks in color. The edge is also in color and the silk lining should match. The colored wool may be pink or blue, whichever color is chosen for baby's belongings. The cross-stitch designs in shades of rose-pink, blue, yellow, and green goes witli either color very nicely. The block pattern. Fig. 9, shows the placement of the different colors, each one represented by a different symbol, as given on the diagram. Each square of afghan stitch measures 28 stitches each way, and as the cross-stitch pattern is 24 stitches in height, the work should be commenced on the third row of the crocheted white square, instead of on the fourth, as on the block pattern, Fig. 9. In other words, leave two row's of crochet at top and bot- tom of cross-stitch design instead of three. Find exact centre of third row of crocheted block, mark centre of block pattern, and work cross- stitclics in the usual way, taking care that the top stitches slant in tlic same direction throughout. The carriage strap below is done in a harmonizing design, and in the same color scheme as the carriage robe, anil mav be used with it.

MlCTTIOri OF M.iKixr, .1 I!am- BLER liOSE DIRECTIONS THIS afghan is knit in three sections, which are joined; each section must fit exactly into the next section. Centre Section (white). — Cast on bone needles 88 sts (these 88 sts measure 20 inches in width), knit in plain knitting back and forth 142 ridges, bind off. Colored Outside Sectio.v. — With pink wool cast on 152 sts, knit about 4 inclies or 30 ridges, slip 32 sts on a spare needle, or cord, bind off 88 sts, and on other 32 sts knit 142 ridges, slip these 32 sts on a spare needle, knit for 142 ridges on the other 32 sts, then cast on needle toward centre 88 sts, slip the other 32 sts to these sts, having 152 sts on needle, knit for 30 ridges, bind off.

Work rambler roses on pink section, as illustrated. Detail showing the making of the lazy-daisy stitch, which is used for the leaves, is given on page 21. A knot of stitches is built up for the centre of the rose, then the stitches are taken around and around, as shown in Fig. 12. The centre should be green, and the enclosing stitches pink. The lazy-daisy stitch is a long loop or buttonhole-stitch held by a short stitch in the end of the loop, which is always the tip of leaf or petal. Join centre white section to pink section as fol- lows : With celluloid crochet-hook and pink wool, ch I, slip this ch off the hook, take the two sections to be joined, insert hook in first ridge on inside section, slip ch St on liook again and draw through st (this will bring wool on wrong side of work), insert hook in second ridge on other section, draw through a lon.g loop, draw this loop through loop on hook, cross back to third ridge on first section ; repeat, crossing back and forth, drawing a long loop from one section, then the other, care being taken to miss only one ridge oil eacli section in crossing back and forth.

Edge. — With white silk and steel hook ch i. i d in st, * ch 4. I d in next st : repeat from * aroimd af.ghan. Sew lace around afghan on wrong side, allowing extra fulness on each of the four corners. Line afghan with silk. This pretty afglian is one of a sei I't imir piece-. Directions for the jacket are given helow, and the bon- net and bootees follow on page 30.
