New York, March 25.-It is an easy
matter to remodel last year IS frocks if
one knows how to go about it. The
skirt of last year made with clusters
of tucks or inverted plaits at each gore
needs but little alteration. 1t is the
plain seven or fve-gored skirt that is
taxing the ingenuity of home dress
makers and seamstresses. A nine or
11-gored skirt may be made to look
very we'll by simply opening each seam
and inserting silk stripes. This is an
easy method for increasing the width
of skirt, provided the material is set
between the cores, whether braid or
silk, is never more than two inches
wide, at the very utmost
The extra fulness of the waist caused
by the introduction of the trimming
may be taken up in pin tucks or mere
ly fitted into the skirt and made to fall
gently into the fulness at the bottom.
If there is not enough leftover ma
terial from a scant skirt to put a
plating about 20 or 25 inches deep on
the bottom, then the cores should be
cut of different lengths, say the middle
one about eight inches from the bot
tom, the ones on each side about 10,
the ones next these ~ and so on. The
additional material may be used as a
shaped fouRee, set under the ends of
the cores, which should be either
scalloped or set in points. Plated or
tucked skirts from last year should
merely have the stitching ripped to
within few inches of the waist line,
from seven to nine inches from it in
the front and about five inches in the
back.
The coat, with bloused front and
short bell sleeves, may very easily be
made into a pretty bOlero by simply
cutting it short and fitting it in bit
Mt the waist line. For the coat sleeve
the best thing to do is to make IT into
an elbow sleeve by cutting it in the
shape of half circle, as wide as its
shape will permit, and putting four
or five ruffles of lace or plated MULE
or batiste, lace edged at the end of 1t.
This will make a very pretty cover
ing for the arm, dainty in the extreme,
and, while it will not give much
warmth it will accord perfectly with
the bolero effect of the jacket, and,
with the sleeve of the shirt waist com
ing from under it, it will not give the
arm an undressed look. The rufiles
must be very full and finely plated,
one another closely, and
the first one merely peeping out from
the edge of the sleeve.
Braid is a great helper in altering
and making larger any part Of a street
gown where there is real or appar-
ent lack Of material. A very wide Her
eules braid will answer as a yoke to
lengthen a skirt, or it will do 10 form
the cuff of sleeve that is too short
and il may also be used to lengthen
bolero or Eton jacket.
The wide braids are rather expen-
sive, but the effect produced by them
in remodeling a suit is 50 far better in
every way than when a different ma
terial u used that there should be no
hesitation in going to the extra eH'

pense. Besides good braids may be
used again and again, so long as there
is thread of them left.
The altering of gowns of soft, trans
parent textures is never a very diff
cult thing to accomplish SUCCESSFULLY,
but the main thing is to keep the har-
mony of coloring intact. A tan gown,
for instance, is far prettier when
trimmed with the same color or cream
lace than it is with anything else, and
will always be found more becoming.
It's charm lies in it's neutral tint, and
when that is used as a background to
a stronger color, it loses its character
at once. The same thing is true Of
brown, with the exception that the
shades of brown which have green in
them are generally more effective when
different shades of the same color are
combined. Patches of color, such as ro-
settes, belts, etc, on a plain, cool sur
face invariably destroy the beauty of
the whole garment. Belts should al
ways be of the same color as the gown
or waist they are worn with, so that
the division between waist and skirt
may be as little noticeable as possible.
One of the prettiest of the many
ways to modernize a shirtwaist, wheth-
er silk or cotton, is TO turn the sleeve
upside down and cut off the top part.
This will very materially shorten the
sleeve, and to give it the necessary
length a long cuff will be required. To
make this tuck some batiste, white if
for a muslin waist, cream if for a silk
one, having the tucks running hori-
zontally. Cut the cuff out so that the
part where the band goes through is
so close that the cuff must be buttoned
each time it is put on or of, and then
sew all around it a lace-edged rufiie.
Attach the cuff to the sleeve in a man
ner that viii permit its being taken
off to be laundered without disturbing
the finish of the sleeve. Make a stock
for the neck in exactly the same way,
with buttons or loops at the back TO
fasten it. For convenience there is
nothing that can equal these detachable
collars and cuffs, and there's no easier
or more attractive fashion for fur
bishing up an old-tyle shirt waist.
For changing very thin froeks and
gowns TO tie prevailing mode a dozen
ways will suggest themselves.
Materials of this description can al
most always be matched perfectly, lace
and embroidery, both Of which are used
profnsely, can be introduced with good
effect in almost any gown, especially
the all.over embroidery, which is more
this year than ever before.
One tan embroidered batiste has been
made over altogether by adding to il
plated founees Of plain batiste Of the
same color. The skirt has been made
much fuller by drawing it up at the
waist, where the fulness is taken up by
engthwise tueks. The sleeves are en-
iirely Of succession Of plated ruff
les, like those on the skirt, and the
waist has bands Of plain batiste stitch
d on in circles and discs. The effect
s lovely and the froek prettier than
,veT before.

George KEENAN, was able to ger from
the Jepanese government permission
to see the Russian naval officers who
were captured in the battle Of the
straits. He had a long talk-the sub
stance of which is printed in the last
Outlook-with the officers of the Orel
which fell into the hands of the Jap
anese and is now at the naval station
OF Nahum He asked them to give
the reasons for Rojestvensky's crush
ing defeat, and they did Il with frank
ness
One Of the reasons assigned was the
surpr sing and extraordinary accuracy
OF the Japanese gunhrc at long range
This the officers look ON as the de-
cisive factor In the contest. The fire
OF the japanese was a little wild at
first. but in a few minutes. though four
miles OF, they got the range with great
accuracy and struck the leading battle
ships Of the two Russian columns with
almost every shot In marksmanship
the Russians were hopelessly out
classed.
Mr.. kennan went over the Orel and
saw for himself the deadly precision Of
the japanese fire and the destructive
ness Of the shells loaded with shimose
powder. To the peeuliarltles OF these
pro,ectiles, the Russian officers largely
attributed the disabling of their ships.
The shells burst into hundreds of small
pieces-sOme of them so small that
they enter the tiniest cracks and cut
TO pieces not only iron partition walls
and decks, but speaking tubes, electric
wires and every other medium OF trans
