Save Buying a Bathing-Suit

I saved the price of a woolen bathing-suit for my three-year-old son by using two pairs of old woolen hose, cutting off the feet and shaping armholes for the front with one stocking leg and the back of the suit with the other. I cut the neck slightly lower in front, making the seams come on the sides. There was plenty of materials in the other pair of stockings for the trunks. My friends thought I had bought an expensive woolen suit. -Mrs. L. A. S., Sterling, Kan.
