You can do wonders with your old suit
this season, for the reason that the
new COS surnes are trimmed IN pretty
ways and these are ways that are not
at all extravagant. One woman who
owned a green cloth suit cut in Elton
fashion with a plated skirt. succeeded
in working a complete transformation
in her suit
She took the Elton coat, which, by the
way, buttoned up tightly almost to the
throat, ard she appliqued it with
flowers and leaves cut out OF green
velvet The velvet was shaded so that
the leaves looked very natural They
were appliqued to the coat all the way
around the neck and down the front and
again upon the wide sleeves. L made a
very handsome coat.
Thev are taking their old fur sets and
working them In the most beautiful
ways And here is another instance
where the ingenious woman can come
in strong in dress The Work Is
thing that needs very little except a
small piece OF black velvet and g cot Of
good taste Taking a pair OF very
sharp scissors, the woman OF taste can
cut out black velvet leaves and can
apply them to block velvet stem.
There should be fots--. five, or six leaves
to stem in order to form a natural
spray, and this spray OF leaves IL ap-
piled 10 the front OF an ermine r.rn or

can get il out and do wonders with IL.
