Making Clothes Over
For the Little Ones

IN these days of high prices and low
salaries we all have to economize and
t. consider ways of saving that, per-
haps, were not necessary before. How
many mothers know that children's un-
dergarments may be made from their
elders worn clothing?
A quite badly used up mans wooden
undershirt, for instance, can be made
over for children by employing the
opening of the shirt for the front and
binding or crocheting round the neck
and armholes.
This will be long enough to make an
underskirt for very little children. and
the colder ones can protect their chests
from the cold air by wearing 1t over
thin f1annels, that are so much cheaper
than the heavier and warmer kinds,
thus rendering the latter unnecessary.
old wooleE shirtwaists, if they are of
light or bright color, can be cut over
into guimpes for the little girl Woolen,
that is, for winter; the lighter fabrics
will do service in the summer. Make
q plain, long waist from the good pieces
In the larger garment, and attach skirt
Of outing flannel. Face the yoke with
this, unless the material is very heavy,
and line the sleeves with II. This can
be worn under a jumper dress, or even
under a bright-Colored "allOver" apron
Tor the littlest girls.

One of New Bags.

The newest hand bags are quite
small. doubtless in contrast to the
mammoth ones we have been carrying.
The favorite shape is oblong, about
seven inches wide and five deep.
The special favorites for spring are in
cOlOred leather in shades of mauve,
apricot, blue, violet, and red. They usu-
ally carry on the outer flap three small
initials in gold or in a darker shade
than the leather.
Most of these bags, though small,
have on one side compartments for mir
ror and vanity case, and on the other a
place for handkerchief and cardcase.
Others have a special change purse at
tached by a light chain, so it can be
easily pulled out in a crowd, instead of
fishing in a crowded bag.

Chantecler Effects
In New Place Cards

Among the seasons place cards are
ChantecIer effects so arranged as to
give a novel touch to a table. A card
Of white pastcboard four by three is
doubled horizontally so 1t will stand.
On the right hand corner facing to the
left is pasted one of the various men,
bers of the barnyard drama.
In the set are the pheasant. the pea
cock, Chantecler himself, the plump
squab, and various others. Each is
1ressed in its appropriate garb of COL
bred feathers. to which is added the
oOw weIl-known face of man or woman.
The fowls stand well above the cards,
which are used more as a prop than as
anything else. Such a set could easily
be made by an ingenious hostess who
has the knack of drawing faces.

PARIS, August 5-Mrs. Frances Fell
ton Lowry Of Philadelphia and Paris
has begun suit against the former city
for the recovery of $4,000. 900, or part
thereof. left to that city some fifteen
years ago by her brother-in-law and

MIS-. Lowry, who was originally Miss
Rebecca Rene Levy of Me-, in Lor-
raine, left that sad city when Marshal
Bazaine allowed it to fall into the
hands Of the Gemans in 1870. She
married Frances Fulton Lowry of the
wealthy Philadelphia family Of that
name. Now poverty has compelled her
to sue the city for what she thinks her
just due. She is victim of last years

swollen waters Of the Seine. The In

solitary American within the mayor
jurisdiction should be well cared for.

city of Philadelphia should disgorge
some of the money left 1t by those
members of her family.

Rallies Railroads.
ON the Kansas City Journal

from Tue hanSaS CITY JOURNAL.
The five raiIroadless counties of south
western Kansas got more railroad surveys
and fewer railroads than any other
stretch of country in the civilized world.
During the last twenty years more than
twenty-five railroads have been surveyed
in that section. At the present time six
different surveys are being rum.
At first the settlers out there took the
matter seriously and had great hopes.
But they pay no more attention now to a
railroad surveying party than to a howl
ing coyote. Nearly every township in
the five counties has been gridironed with
railroad surveys. but before the people
get excited again they insist that they
must see the rails and ties being laid
