worth while to attempt unless the ma
terial is in perfect condition, and the skirt
is also possible of being recut to the new
lines. Frequently, however, in the case of
a silk jacket or the coat of a plain white
linen suit 1t is worth while to make over
the coat and to buy or have made a new
skirt or shirtwaist dress to wear with 1t.
Elton coats this year are all somewhat
elaborate, ornamented with fancy braid, or

are generally short on a narrow mandarin

or crochet buttons also play an important

coats OF former season into one OF this

The illustration presents a very attrao-
tive street frock of black and white striped
linen. This costume shows one of the new
peplum waists. They have the appearance
OF jacket, but, as a rule, are worn with

makes an extremely pretty finish. The
front of the dress may have a deep
V-shaped yoke with surplice effect or
II may be fashioned in any other mode Of
the moment. The back of the gown in
then left plain, and this collar sometimes
quite narrow and square, again falling
almost to the belt and rounded at the
edges, is put on stitched at one side and
hooked across to the left shoulder after
the gown has been fastened down the back.
Any piece OF embroidery can be used for
this collar without regard to the lace or
embroidery trimming on the rest Of the
frock The fashion is a curious yet q
strangely pretty one for a hot weather

To Make Old Styles Into New

NEW YORK. April 1S.-The woman who
must count carefully every penny in her
dress allowance has no right to complain
of the present fashions. There may be
objections to the scant skirt, short jackets,
short waist lines and short sleeves OF the
moments modes, but never has there been
a time when the costumes of twelve
months back could be renovated and made
up to date with so little serious difficulty.
A full-gored skirt, for instance, can easily
be made narrower at each seam, while a
pleated skirt need often only have its
pleats stitched down to within a few inches
Of the ankles or else the entire distance,
according to the model to be carried out.
Often a last years skirt has sufficient
fullness to make it possible to completely
recut the material and with very little
effort produce one OF the very newest of
