New York, Aug. 1--we are jus
fn the midst Of the hottest part Of tn
summer and, fall seems sti1 lon
ways OF. II is difficult TO realize tha
the time for the first display Of aui
tmn styles Is so clore at hand Fo
women, who Nike TO dress well but d'
not command unlimited means this Il
the most aggravating period OF th'
year Imagine such a woman, whc
equipped herself at the beginning o
fhe summer season with one or twC
handsome suits, which repregent prac
tically all she could afford to spend fol
the summer season. The dresses wert
handsome and did excellent service
Or, at least do not look as fresh and
clean as fastddous woman would
like her clothes to appear What car
she do? She cannot afford TO buy an,
other summer suit; she does not like
TO appear shabby and, to wear her
new fall costume, even II the latter
should be an ready, is out OF the ques.
tiOn; It Is far too warm for that.
There Is problem, which many wo-
men of the better classes have to face.
In some cases the problem is compare
lively easy to solve. II the dress is
of stock material, which may be pur-
chased and matched in nearly every
drygpods store, Il is quite simple, 10
get enough new material and few
new trimmings 10 restore the dress to
nearly It's original freshness. The
palmer the dress the easier II is to
remodel II, the more satisfactory Is
the result Of rejuvenatlng II by chang
ing the trimming and reaTanglng the
other ornaments.
With elaborate dresses made of
some material that cannot be ma. ched
and trimmed With colors that require
special selection the task becomes al.
most hOpelens. Sucn cases require !
the greatest ingenuity on the part of
the owner or dressmaker who or.
tempts TO make such dresses once
more presentable A sklllml dress
maker however viii wually find
some way
There are countless ittle tricks and
which an ingenious dress
maker has at her command with
which she can do wonders. Here
