Why Is a kangaroo?


In other words, why are the
forelegs of this strange Austria
liam animal SO much shorter than
its hindlegs?
This question has never been
satisfactorily answered, except
ing that when pursued it can make
much more speed hopping than it
can running.
The stork usually brings one
baby to mamma kangaroo, but
sometimes she is presented
with twins, and on rare occa-
sions with triplets. You'd be sur
prised to see how small and deli
cate these babies are when the
stork first brings them. A baby
kangaroo is smaller than many
bugs, and in most cases less than
an inch in size. Yet some full
grown kangaroos, when standing
on their hind legs, are seven feet
tall.
When these baby kangaroos
first come into the world they are
blind, and like many wee babies
you have seen, are utterly devoid
of hair or fur. They are just as
helpless as human babies, and for
that reason the mother kangaroo
has a pouch near her breast in
which she carries her babies until
they are old enough to help them
selves. The young stay in this
pouch for weeks, and sometimes
for months. Occasionally they hop
cut of the pouch and show the
mother how big they are getting

The structural lines of clothes
this season are so simple that the
question of altering last years
need not cause you any anxiety.
First of all in favor of the old
clothes, the shabby ones, is the
combination of different kinds of
material in the construction of
gowns and suits. Then the fact
that color combinations are among
the newest fashions also gives you
a chance to make successful alter
ations. Yet another economical
advantage is the fact that you can
veil one material with another.
Let us first talk of coats You
can wear last years with very few
changes. Add pretty vest if you
have increased in bust measure.
To shorten a coat is another way
to change its style. Should you
have laid by for a longer time than
last year, say two years ago, an
eton coat with a plated skirt, you
might make it over into a Russian
blouse suit or dress. Recut the
skirt of palmer pattern-the scan
tier styles of today permit it
and use material left over for the
tail of the blouse or skirt section
of the coat. Russian blouses are
extremely good looking-and as a
rule, becoming.
Get pattern of the style you
have decided on; rip your old gar
ment apart; don't handle it more
than necessary-as it is apt to
draw it out of shape, and use a
sharp scissors carefully. Then
steam thoroughly where stitches
have appeared, and press out plaits
on the wrong side. Recut gar
ment, and make as directed on
envelope of your new pattern.
To change the high closing stiff
regulation notch collar, correct it
and replace by a rolling collar and
lapels, or even the new large sailor
collar (see i1lustration). You can
fasten it directly over the collar
and lapels if it happens to be a soft
rolling kind.
If the coat sleeve is shabby, fin
ish with a cuff. Do not place il
directly on wrist line, but have il
reach midway between wrist and
elbow. You can make it separ-
ately, and slipstitch it over the
top of sleeve.
To make the skirt more attract
i've, if it is plated one, place a
wide band of contrasting material
around the skirt five inches from
the ground. This makes the skirt
simmer in appearance, without
detracting from it's actual width.
If you have lingerie dress,
don't think of discarding it. Veil
it with chiffon wolfe. 1t will give
you another party frock.
A pretty lingerie blouse which
has been much worn may be fresh
ened by adding an overblouse of
some sheer material (see illustra-
tom. They are prettiest when
the color of the chiffon matches

HOW MAKE OVER LAST YEARS CLOTHES

room at the elbow.
If your dress is made of a plaid
material, add a band in plain
color which harmonizes, and it will
look like new. Sew the band to
the lower part of the skirt. Add
cuffs to the sleeves and finish
fronts with a frill. You can also
set plain yoke of new material
in the waist Cut this in one piece
without a seam on the shoulder
extending it little low down over
the arms, to give it the long flat
shoulder ling which is seen in new
clothes (see illustration.) This
serves a double purpose. 1t will
freshen the waist, If worn around
the neck, and allow it to be
heightened if It has become short
wasted. If you are growing girls
this is an excellent alteration fol
you.
If your serge skirt of last year
has a shine on it, and is not worn
out, place the skirt on a board and
rub the shiny places with fine
|sandpaper, not too hard, but just
enough to rub up the nap. After
pressing, hte skirt will look as
good as new.
If you have a circular cape for
evening wear which you have been
using this summer, and would like
to continue wearing during the
winter, take in the greater part of
the fullness at the underarm and
make a seam. Add sleeves and
revers of satin if you care to, cap
ping them with the material, or
match your cloth (see illustra-
tom. Add buttons. Make them
of ball molds and cover with the
same material as revers and
sleeves.

Want WOMEN AS

By United Leased Wire. }

CINCINNATI, Nov. 1.-Stirred
by the fact that the murders of
five women have occurred in the

a novel appeal to Society Director

the future the detective force of
Cincinnati contain at least two
