And l do wish people would stop telling
us how to make over our frocks and manu-
facture our own bOnnets. and condescend
TO inform us how to make old shoes look as
we'll as new, preserve gloves in all their
pristine freshness, and prevent ribbons from
becoming faded. The gown is after all but
minor consideration; it is all these seem
lngly unimportant occasions that make the
well-dressed woman. Ones frock may mt

If woman's gowns are only suitable to
time and place it's really surprising with
now little she can look nice. Adelaide
Appleby spent three weeks at the lake with
only three dresses, and was more admired
than any other girl in the house. How did
she do it? Well, Pll tell you. She had
skirts of shepherds plaid and jersey for
morning walks and rowing, a light organdy
for hot afternoons, and a black silk,
| handsomely trimmed with lace. This last
named dress was of course her piece de re-
slstance. The neck could be made low for
the evening, or worn with a shirt front of
linen or of null for daylight, while by rib
bOnS of various cOlOrS the dress was COM
pletely metamorphosed. What 1 said be-
