SARTORIAL- HINTS.

| The Turkish toweling suggests an ex-

over last summers wardrobe. It IL not
too expensive, can be used upon any kind
OF an outer garment, regardless Of the
material from which the garment IL fash

Turkish toweling and chiffon cloth In

Any kind Of q wash dress can be made

and then two points could be cut out at
the sides on lower edge. giving an over

laid underneath to make the length Of the
skirt, and q yoke running down in points
over the sleeve tops might trim the waist
