d be finished with a
2-inch loop. The raw edge should be folded over, the tape turned 2
inches down for the loop, and basted in place. This should be hemmed
across the end. One quarter of an inch up from the end, the double
thickness of tape should be back-stitched together, and the edges of the
tape should be overhanded from there to the hemmed end.

PRELIMINARY PLAN

Each pupil should provide sufficient denim, percale, huckaback, or other
washable material to cover the two sides of a holder 7 inches square,
and enough outing or canton flannel for a double lining. About 1-1/2
yards of straight tape one-half inch wide will be needed for the binding
and for suspending the holder from the apron.

[Illustration: _Fig._ 20.--The holder]

METHOD OF WORK

The pupils should first carefully measure and turn the material for the
covering of the holder and then prepare the lining, basting it all
together. They should then put in the running-stitch and finish with the
binding. If it is not possible to complete the holder in one period, a
second lesson period should be provided, or arrangements may be made to
have supervised work done outside of the lesson hours.

LESSON XX: A CAP TO WEAR WITH THE COOKING APRON

SUBJECT-MATTER

The simplest cap to make will be the circular one. A pattern should be
made by drawing with a pencil and string on a piece of wrapping-paper a
circle 21 inches in diameter. The material for the cap should be cut
carefully around the circle and finished with a narrow hem. A tape to
hold the draw-string should be placed 1-1/4 inches inside the edge of
the hem. A small piece of cardboard cut about one-half inch wide should
be used for measuring the position of the tape. Bias strips three
quarters of an inch wide should be prepared for the tape, or a
commercial tape three eighths of an inch wide may be purchased. The
outer edge of the tape should be basted first and the edges joined; then
the inner edges should be basted, the edge being kept smooth. Both edges
should be neatly sewn with the hemming-stitch by hand or on the machine.
An elastic should be inserted in the band, carefully fitted to the head,
and the ends fastened neatly.

PRELIMINARY PLAN

This lesson will give a good opportunity to make a cap that will answer
for a dust cap or serve as a part of the cooking uniform. If such a cap
does not seem desirable and the former lesson has not been c
