What are peg dresses7 Why.
gowns that hang in ones closet, are
not often worn and get a little out Of
style. They are apt TO be the best
gowns by which ! mean those for
dressy occasions. Most OF US have
but one, which is worn 40 seldom that
Il becomes a problem 70 keep IL always
IN style. for there is a limit even TO
the changing OF sleeves and alteration
Of the adornment Of lace. When that
is reached the owner must be firm with
herself and discard the dress in its
present form. For thfs reason / think
II a good plan 70 have this gown OF
rather inexpensive material and let It's
beauty be In the way II " made; then,
when II must step down from its high
estate. we can put the scissors 20 II
with better grace. For I have always
found that II takes moral courage 20
attack a rich gown which IL just too
much out Of fashion 70 wear. As this
dress must be made over I think II
well 10 purchase q material that win
afterward be suitable 20 so with the
rest OF the wardrobe, either a. fancy
waist, trimming, or, perhaps. az silk
