The girl with spare time and liking
for sewing can help out her own ward
robe wonderfully at little expense. Take
the ready-to-wear blouse, which she
can pick up for small price any day,
and the medallions that go for a song

and put the two daintily together and
wonders are worked-a waist that was
commonplace being raised to a much
higher level.
Another detail in which girls not I'LL.

buttons for themselves. Here there is
no end of opportunity for an outlet
