Case and M-M Implements PONTIAC CARS Phone 531 West O’Neill Carbon Copies Are Twice as Nice BY EDNA MILES 'pHERE’S nothing like a -*• mother - daughter ensemble to make a little miss feel as grown-up and responsible as her mother. The carbon copy creations can be purchased in both dressy and informal styles and help to in still in the small set a real ap preciation of clothes and their care. Many mothers wisely make washing, ironing and mending a joint chore and this is, of course, much more fun when both costumes are identical. An example of the pert sets now available may be seen at left in the floral printed per cale fashioned in Florida. Both dresses feature a dainty bodice ruffle and crisp pocketed or gandy apron. For lounging, the cotton housecoats at right ring the bell twice. The ladylike robes are done in a brilliant floral print on a dark ground, bound and buttoned in contrasting color. Full, flattering skirts finish the luxurious quilted robes. If a number of big-small sets are kept on hand, your daugh ter may be encouraged to culti vate taste in choosing a costume for the day. In any case it is certain that when mother and daughter travel together in identical cos tumes, they will win approving double-takes wherever they go.
