How helpless one feels as one looks
at an od-fashiOned waist and realizes it
is out Of date and yet something would
bring 1t back into style, but what?
Now. the woman who Is used to re-
modelling her dresses knows in a minute
what the trouble is. and she knows how
to fix a sleeve over in the shortest way
and pull a skirt band up 10 give an empire
effect where none exists. She need never
wear anything out of date. thanks to her
talent, and when 1 say talent l am using
the wrong term. 1t is more Of a quality,

Your daughters how to make over their

much more pleasure in the end 1 can as

Bonnet for Little Girl.

The little girl with pretty hair always
looks we'll in the quaint hat which
would be too trying on her elder sister.
y demure bonnet in the old-time poke
shape is OF black velvet. lined with
shirred pink chiffon. and a big cluster
Of pink feathers adds smartness to one
side.
OF course. there are bonnet strings Of
ribbon to tie under the chin. and the
back Of the bonnet scoops up to show
the pretty hair. AS to Il plain tailored

We indebted for the fascinating costumes
everywhere to be seen. He has unearthed
secrets from the great school OF antiquity
and has wrought fabrics that are both
beautiful to the eve and charming TO the
touch. The silks this spring. for example
are especially lovely. and they are being
used for tailored suits. At the Maison
Redfern recently l saw a fetching coat
and skirt suit of tussah pongee in natural
color. embroidered in self-tone silk. which
is reproduced in one of the cuts. The
embroidered motifs are repeated on the
upper part of the coat. both in the front
and back. The little, short-waisted upper
portion is Joined to the skirts OF the coat
by entire deuX OF ecru lace. over whch are
fastened flaps OF the pongee under big
buttons. On these buttons are touches OF
the embroidery. The hat is a LecroX
model. the huge crown coming almost
to the edge of the brim. The trimming
consists OF strings of jet beads and n
cluster of rich black plumes at one
side. The waist line on most Of the
dressy suits is still high, and with so
many of the coats cutting away in front
the effect is very smart. AS far as skirts
go. no great novelty is introduced this
season. The cut and draping absorb all
the ingenuity of the lnOdiste. The novel
ties are to be found In the bodices. Nearly
all OF the new spring frocks are in one
piece. DressmakerS and designers have
agreed that this charming style shall
remain through the summer at least. The
leading new colors are bishop violet.
malachite green. old gold, Chinese blue
and a peculiar shade of peacock. All
these nuances come in soft and silky
fabrics that are glOssier than ever. if that
is possible. but of flrmer texture than the
winter stuffs displayed.
There is to be another linen summer.
and so exquisite are the new tones in this
material that one is tempted to squander
a large slice OF their substance in gowns
of this description. The newest thing is
to have heavy filet net dyed TO match the
linen for the bodice or to be used as a
trimming. A smart little linen in de-
lightful wfstaria color has a bodice of
self-colored net ornamented with two
inch bands of the linen run on the plain
net at intervals of two inches apart They
are put on up and down instead OF around
the figure. The lines of this bodice would
be too long for beauty if they extended TO
the waist proper. burt in this instance they
cut off by the high-waisted skirt two
or three inches above the belt line. The
surface of wistaria is broken by a two
inch yoke and high stock of German val
lace, and the long tight sleeves have a
