NEW YORK. FASHIONS

overtake one in the mountains when
You feel the need of something more
than a "cool linen"
Perhaps there is an old suit of last
summer that may have the skirt
cleaned and pressed, or, If the material
will stand 1t, may be turned; and IL
"a plated model there is not so much
change in the styles of the two seasons
but il may not be put back in the
same lines. Remember that YOU
simply reverse the lines of the plaits
and closing; mark with notches when
you rip, apart and mark with a white
thread as though basting where the
lines of the plaits should be laid. liz
the skirt is turned, the coat should
receive the same treatment as there
is a perceptible difference i'm the two
sides of most materials. Put on a
new fiat collar of silk or velvet cut the
sleeves at the elbows and finish with
fancy cuffs; the fronts may be
changed by cutting away and insert
ing fancy vest. BY using care you
may secure to yourself very present.
able suit that will save your new one
from all wear and tear.
IL you should have an old skirt of
the yelling order, do not use it in
mountain climbing, rather renew 1t
with new bindings and if the bottom
is much worn put on .a band of silk,
and the under skirt perhaps will need
to be freshened up with new frills, at
least do not have any rags or frayed
edges showing. Keep this skirt for
wear with pretty waists for the
breakfast table, at which meal be as
fresh and as pretty as possible.
Do not try to renew shirt waists if
they are much worn. Some that are but
slightly worn may be used for extra
slip waists, or If it is only the collar
and cuffs that are worn, cut out the
neck and wear a ehemisette, shorten
the sleeves and finish with an en-
broidered cuff or new under sleeve to
match the chemisette; if worn at the
belt, patch neatly or set in new
piece and wear a very wide belt
For tramping have a cheviot skirt
which should be plain, short and made
with seven cores. Machine stitching
gives the needed finish and the best
color, have found, to be most SER
viceable is dark grey mixture, which
does not show soil and stain in so
glaring a manner. You do not want
to be doing much cleaning or mending
while away on your vacation. For
this reason have on hand good sup
ply Of underwear, mend up the ac-
emulation of stockings of the past
year which you may throw away
when used. And above all have
good supply of shirt waists, use the
old ones for rough wear, but have
lot of pretty one for the verandas, the
golf links and for dinner and evening
have some pretty fancy dresses.
For dinner nothing could be so SER
viceable as foulard, and a dainty ex-
ample of such a gown was made of
dark blue foulard figured with
quaint design in white The skirt was
cut in nine gored plated style and
had strap trimmings at knee depth
over the plaits while two rows of mar
row velvet ribbon ran down the sides
of the plaits where it joined and dec
GRATED the straps which were finished
with a fancy button. The
waist which opened over
lace " and collar had plas-
tron front that buttoned over the left
trimmed with two rows of velvet rib
bon. The fullness of the shoulders
was increased by the addition of two
tucks on each side stitched to yoke
depth, but are really concealed by
bretelles finished with the velvet rib
bon. The sleeves are of elbow length
having hand cuffs trimmed with the
ribbon The back should be in one
piece gathered in at the belt.
A charming evening gown was made
of blue muslin showing dainty little
sprays of roscbuds. The skirt was
made with nine cores and tucked to
flounce depth While every alteration
gore consists of shirred panel end
ing in full flounce The waist which
closes at the centre back had a full
front blousing slightly at the waist
and gathered in at a pointed neck. A
bertha shirred to form a puff around
the neck and having ends crossing In
front finished with smart pearl but
tons. The sleeves are made with a
full puff effect at the top, and to
match the bertha, are gathered to form
another small putting just above the
shaping ruffie that falls from the ell
bow. A shaped belt of the same ma
terial finishes a dainty costume.
Made in white swiss this gown
would be very pretty and so many odd
accessories could be used with it, that
the summer girl could make the APP
pearance of having many dresses out
of the one. lace chemisette and
