But if we had a junior I'd make a big effort to sew most of them at home because it is much cheaper to get a full wardrobe for a child that way. The cloth needed to sew them if very little but the ready made garments cost almost as much as for big children. 
I called Alberta and also talked with Aunt Maud. They seem to be interested in us and not at all critical. I certainly want to be on good terms with all the kin and it makes me feel better if we seem
