ALTERING AN EVENING GOWN.
Scheme Very Much in Fashion and
One That Is Quite Easy to
Carry Out.

II the girl who INDUCED in scanty,
slimly cut sheath gown last winter
wants to change 1t a bit to give more
OF the classic suggestion, she can do
this by using two wells as drapery.
The idea is very much in fashion
and is easy to carry out. The wells
themselves are often used by high
priced dressmakers instead of buying
chiffon cloth and hemming 1t. The
wells have a selvage which makes
them quite effective.
One of the attractive ways OF
draping them is to catch one at each
shoulder. drawing It up under the
arm and fastening on top with a paste
buckle. The edges lower down may
be lightly caught together over the
arm a little above the elbow. This
gives filmy but straight drapery from
shoulder to hem which puts one in the
picture this season.
Again. an extra long veil is drooped
across the back and caught at the
back of each shoulder with buckle
and the ends left to hang straight.

Dreamed Rice with Fruit.-Cook
one cup of rice thoroughly in milk in

was summarily dismissed by order OF

The subaltern was examined and cross
