Excerpt
When days are hot and children need few clothes, a sun-suit ensemble is ideal. The cool romper with its net top to catch the ultra-violet rays is just right for play in the backyard. With a dress to match, it makes an outfit for practically any occasion.
Over a sun suit a child need merely put on a matching dress or overblouse to be appropriately clad for the street, and quite as quickly it can be shed for a dig in the sand pile. Again, when it is time to go indoors, the dress or blouse looks better at the dinner table, and there is less danger of cooling off too quickly after the heat of the sun.
The little girl on page 1 wears a sun-suit romper with a front opening so convenient that she can dress herself. When she grows taller, the tabs on the shoulders can be slipped back and tacked into place again. Her matching tailored dress with its front closing can be put on and fa^ened in a jiffy.
The 3-year-old lad shown below buttons his self-help trousers on to a straight net top. He can put on the matching overblouse all by himself, for the buttons are just the right size and in the most convenient place for his tiny inexperienced fingers to manage easily. All the little things that often make clothes a nuisance to the boy are done away with in this design.
