BARGAINS IN CHEAP STUFF
Few Deft Touches VIII Frequently
Give Garment an Entirely Differ
ent Appearance.

Often you will see real bargains
In frocks and blouses on the ready
made counter. Do not give one look
at the cheap lace or trimming, or at
the way the seams are finished, and
throw it back. Buy your bargain. take
1t home and redeem and regenerate
It.
Cheap lace can be replaced by
good; dainty tulle or net frills can
take the place of cheap ruf1es; seams
can be restitched and coarse en-
broidery worked over by hand. If the
material and the cut justify your buy
ing the garment at all. you can give 1t
an individual touch that will raise the
value of your bargain Is per cent.
And even where there Is nothing
noticeably cheap or common about
the garment, try to give those little
extra touches; then you will be In no
danger Of meeting your new gown
on another woman at the next street
corner.

TWO PRETTY HOLIDAY GIFTS
Slipper Case or Sewing Bag Both a
Welcome and ServiceabIe
Present.

A slipper case and sewing bag are
delightful holiday gifts. which are
easily made and very useful to the
receiver. They may be made from
any stray pieces of bright-colored
silk. linen. chintz, satin, denim or, in
fact, any material of that kind; or, If
desired, the slipper case may be de-
veloped in pink-fowered cretonne
bound with dark-green braid.
The loosely gathered sewing bag
has an outside flap, which contains
the needle book, and a pretty fancy
is to embroider the owners initials
on the outside of the flap. Fancy
brass rings are sewed to the upper
edge, through which is run the ribbon
which regulates the fullness about the
top. and is used to hang It up by.
The slipper case, which is divided
into compartments and stiffened by
means of cardboard interlining. re-

tape to bind and two hangers. The
sewing bag needs IL yards % or
