Bib Gifts for Princess Elizabeth Recall 23 Years Ago
The birth of a royal baby prompted Mrs. S. A. Wood to recall a gift from her mother to the young princess born 23 years earlier. Mrs. Rachel Hutt of 1420 Tennessee street made bibs as a pastime, sent one to an English friend who forwarded it to the queen mother, and a note from a lady in waiting expressed appreciation. Two pastel Terry cloth bath towels suggest making a bathrobe for a child or a robe from an extra large towel.
