 New Froeks From Old Ones.
 Possibly you are thinking about plans for the summer sewing. but |
 am altering last seasons gowns and trying to collect enough shirt waists | to safely carry me through the dog l days" for unless one is ultra fashion | able there is no reason why now is not
 the accepted time to work on these made overs" Time then is left later
 on for attention to really smart dresses
 for the warm weather wardrobe.
 To begin with. there is the question
 of sleeves-always a vexed one Many
 women are beginning to complain of the monotony of the kimopo style
 which Is to continue its vogue, l am
 delighted to say. into the spring and
 summer season. But let me tell you
 the new wrinkle anent the peasant
 sleeve. A small gusset is inserted un i der the arm. whicE gives more free dom in movement and incidentally in i creases the life of the sleeve material | Of course you know that the conven | tional kimono sleeve is cut in one with | the blouse or sometimes cut separately | and put in with no fullness whatever. | but it is a mistake to suppose that | these two types are the only varia- ! tions. one successful variant is to ] slash the sleeve its entire length and over the shoulder. The slash is filled | in with a strip of velvet, silk or any | contrasting material with shallow round yoke shaped to 1t the shoulders ! The sleeves are finished with deep | cuffs. The slashed edges of the sleeves | are shirred on to the material inserted | after turning them under to form head ings. The top of the blouse should meet the shallow yoke in the same way. Is this understandable7
 Another idea in kimono sleeve effects Is to tuck the sleeves to fit the arms l and add the contrasting material as l ] have just suggested, holding down the 1 edges with rows of tiny buttons. By | altering the sleeves of several of my last years frocks I have given them | quite an up to date appearance And
 they are going to be the comforts of | my life later on in the season, for don't you positively love a frock that | is dainty and smart, but just old
 enough to allow of it's being worn ex- actly when and where you please-a
 frock. I mean. that one does not have | to save for occasions. and maybe the
 occasion never presents it's miSer- | able self, after all the sacrifice, until
 the dress is a trife passe in style7 I have heard recently from an ac- quaintance in Paris that white or cream cclored yoile dresses heavily embroidered will be the approved thing in lingerie dresses this season. | The possibilities of such a gown are
 fascinating. and if you are going to
 do your own embroidering it is not
 too early to begin on the creation
 Either heavy embroidery-Wallac
 for instance-will be used or beadwork
 with rubber beads (queer. this last | effect, isn't it0 or combination of the

 haps, the beads would be black and a
 black that would be worn with the
 dress, or Alice blue. or old rose. or
 some other becoming or striking shade.
 Doesn't it make you want to begin on
 the frock right away? Do have dress
