material has strip of plain color laid

Very pretty frocks also are made of

silk waists of more formal wear, they are
handsome in lace, but for school the ma

MADE-OVER HATS
ARE MONEY MADE

With the ordinary woman the art of
making over has to be practiced upon
her wearing apparel at some time or
other-there are SO many ways of fresh
ening up to comparative newness the old
gown or hat. But the knack Of restora-
ton to modishness and becomingness is
not possessed by many.
A young woman who has this knack
in q superlative degree was SO success
full in trimming over her old hats that
she was often called upon by her girl
friends for help in renlodelling worn or
start in such business as means OF
livelihood.
The first step was to drum up trade. !"
So she sent out her cards with an I'M
derline. Hats retrimnled for 80 cents"
1t met feminine need, and was recog-
nized accordingly. Many q woman buys
a hat when she is a the end Of long
afternoons shopping, which is great
mistake. for under the strain of fatigue
anu the seductive persuasions OF the mil
liner She may purchase the wrong one.
When she gets it home she wonders
how in the world she ever came to buy
such a thing
Then it is that the retrimmer steps in
as a grateful refuge from the frank cri-
ticisms of husband CT friends who have
been urged to say how they like the new
bonnet. Tie trimmer makes careful
study of her customers face and its re-
quire1nents. She finds that an alteration
Of perhaps only one or two unbec1Tning
lines will remove the discord and bring
harmony to milady's erstwhile discordant
appearance and restore her ruft1ed Sc
renity.
f Or a woman has grown tired of sum
mer creation before the September
hreezes give assurance Of the proprlety
OF getting a hat for autumn wear. The
retrinmer will come to her home make
notes OF the changes to be made, assert
and select from the stock of materials
and carry away the disable yelyets. RIB
