A Black Velvet.

h,,d Pear III, M1ss Lee: have Of tho everlasting
olaek SILK velvet SUITS on which beg your splendid
assistance in slightly altering from the present mode
winch has done service for the last three years The
skirt Is good tight about the hips but has the fash
1onable flare about the feet. It Is untrmmed and en-
train. The coat is Louis model with skirt at
tached to a fitted bodice with braid band It has
shawl collar Of an ecru embroidered chiffon over
white satin edged with neat Persian border. The
sleeves are well shaped and fear passe. The entire
suit exceedingly rich and becoming to me az It is
but am tired Of It, have 4 whole piece Of
each Of these braids Gould utilize them in chang
ing the aspect Of the gowni do not wish to make
, radical changes except in trimming, am the
feet inches bust SO, hips 81, waist 20.
Mrs. L.
You could trim tho seams Of the front gore with
row each Of the wide and narrow braid, ending at
the hem in curley cue, and trim the front edges of
the coat skirt in the same way. ~
The shawl collar Of chiffon does not sound quite
in keeping with braid trimming, 80 would it be sug-
costing too much If hint at change Of collar1
The present is, know, extremely handsome. but
there could be no better way Of ofecting an entire
change than by substituting another material for the
collar: piece Of very dull brocade shot with gold
thread could be strapped In with the braid and look
well. The sleeves could be changed to coat shape
brought into turnback deep cuffs Of the collar material
edged with the braid Thus the suit could be brought
up to date and entirely changed with very little
trouble. -+

Mrs. R. W.
The long coat suit is correct but fancy you
will find black most unbecoming both to face and
figure. should prefer rich, deep red. Black in
creases sallowness and it will also have the effect Of
making you appear more SLENDER thereby adding to
your height. My choice would be dark red broad

silk and white broadcloth facing collar and cuffs by

Style for Sample.

Dear Miss Lee' I have heavy black cloth
skirt with circular Aounce, about eight inches in
'front.' sixteen in back lined all thru and rather too
long, it sweeps Is there any way could remodel
it, Enclosed You will find two samples. The black
material Is for waist, the silk for trimming it.
Will they make good combinations have about
onequarter yard of the silk cut bias; how could I
use it on the waist9 Am medium height and slender.
Marshall, Mimi Mrs A. B.
IF there Is material underneath the founce
then think the only change you make would
be to trim the founce, say, with rows of braid T
should feel inclined to cut away the lining, am
it must be too heavy for comfort and also cut
the skirt of to walking length. You need not rip
the skirt in order to remove the lining: lust cut the
latter away from the seams.
In regard to your second question, as both are
figured goods, the trimming must be most judicously
applied II the waist is to be success. The black
and white silk being blue background, and the
black goods being jet black makes the case still
more difficult. Surprising you do combine them, I
think pipings Of the silk will be the wiser way, or,
in fact, any arrangement that will keep the trimming
in small portions. You could make yoke Of small
box peats, closing down the front under box peat
and pipe them all with the silk using small scraps
for covering button molds with which to trim the
center pleat. The sleeves will be bishop, brought
into piped cuffs buttoned to the arm, the finish to
be pretty lace stock This should be smart prac-
tical waist
