Old Gowns Made New.

Almost any sort Of an old silk frock
can be made over into one of the new
plain shirtwaist suits. The skirts are
so short that all the wear and tear of an
old skirt can be cut away. Or if a skirt
is in good condition at the foot, it can
be cut at the top and lifted up which
will provide additional fullness at the
waist. If skirt is not full enough, the
front breadth can be split and a petit
coat front set in, of some Of the same
goods, or some good combination, and the
same material introduced into the waist
The best plan in working over a frock
is to rip 1t all apart and make up on a
new lining of modern cut; old Innings are
poor economy. 81,
To freshen silk or wolfe, take each
breadth and sponge in warm borax water
four teaspoonfuls to a basin of water, let
drip nearly dry and then roll tight and
smooth on a large pole. When rolled it
will look like new on both sides and have
no telltale sheen of the iron
Black silk should be sponged first with
borax water and then with soap bark to
bring back the color. This borax will not
only freshen and give new body, but it
will remove all stains, even grease spots.
Wooden stuffs, like wolfe, canvas, CASH
mere or brilliantine, can be dipped into
a pail Of the solution and regularly
washed, then dried outs of-doors and
pressed on the wrong side.

The Newest Skirts.

What about the newest skirts?" The
question was put to man who spends
most of his time in Paris studying frocks
in the interests of an importer.
Any old thing, SO long as it is absurdly
full at the bottom" he replied promptly.
THE tailor skirts usually fit very snugly
by means of stitched plaits, tucks or
yokes, or circular skirt tops, or skirts cut
circular or sharply gored; but they all
have great width at the bottom and there
are all kinds of ways Of holding them out.
Usually, tho, the responsibility of hold
ing the fullness out is entrusted to the
petticoat. The dress skirt Is unlined, but
the drop skirt or petticoat fits like wax
over the hips and down almost to the
knees in front and at SIDES
Then it flares widely and is held out
by little crinoline or haircloth or wired
cording or featherboning. Sometimes the
skirt ruffles run UP the back almost to
the hip line, so that the dress skirt will
not stink in at the back.
The dressy skirts are very full, and the
fullness often begins at the waist line
and falls free from there, but quite as
often there's at least shallow hip yoke
Of cording, shirring, smoking or tuckins
OR some sort Of trimming.
ut all depends upon the figure and the
taste OF the wearer, and there's no hard
and fast rule about it.. That's one blessed
thing about the fashions today. A woman
can have what is becoming to her II she
has sense enough to know what Is and a
dressmaker can carry out her IDEAS
