Children enjoy a change from “the same old thing” in their wearing apparel, and a bright new beret is a simple means of grat- ifying this entirely normal feeling. For (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture. }—WNU Service. Here are two attractive hats for children which can be made at home very easily from a small amount of material. An old coat or dress might be used for the beret, and parts of an old raincoat or any garment made of water-resistant cloth, for the rainy day hat.

Many children of three to six years of age wear rain-proof play suits made of the same sort of material, and with this hat may play out of doors in any weather. Yhe crown is made with six sections. Tae brim is double and is slightly stiffened with several rows of stitches about a quarter of an inch apart. The lining is cut from the same pattern as the erown and is slip-stitched In. The hat requires half. a yard of material and a quarter of a yard of lining. It Child’s Rain Hat of Shower.Proof Fabric. is designed for a 20-inch head size but may be made smaller by taking In the seams. A beret is always a satisfactory head covering for a child of three or more, In fact, for a school child of almost any age. A boy's beret 1s made slightly smaller than a girl's, but otherwise from the same design. Cot- ton suede was used for making the beret illustrated, but any. soft woolen fabric which will allow fullness to be smoothly gathered in will do. For spring wear, the beret should be light weight. If new material is used, half & yard of woolen fabric and a quarter of a yard of lining are sufficient. Berets, however, are very successfully made from parts of adult's clothing that Is no longer useful. The beret consists of four erown sections, a blas band, and a lining. The curved outer edge of each of the four crown sections is gathered until it measures five inches (one- fourth of the head size required, which in this case Is 20 inches), and then stitched to the bias fold that fits around the head. All fullness along Child's Beret That Can Be Made of Old or New Material, wear while riding in an automobile, especially on long trips, a beret has no equal, as it stays on the head well and keeps the child's hair back out of his or her éyes. When the rest of a child's outfit is neutral in color, a beret of bright color such as red or orange or green, is really a safety pre. caution, making the child crossing the street noticeable from passing auto. mobiles and other vehicles.
