REMODELING TIL LINEN SUIT

The season of the linen suit is at hand.
Practical women who have once known
the joys of the smart little tailored suit
Of linen will number at least one of them
in their summer wardrobes, for they are
to be as fashionable this season as here
tofore.
Perhaps you have a perfectly good suit
that was fresh from the %tailor's hands
last season and which you will want to
wear this summer, provided 1t can be
freshened a bit and altered to conform to
the mode of the present. Naturally, you
will want this change made with as little
expense as possible, for is 1t not, after
all, a last years costume?
At a glance you see that the coat Is
too short, the skirt too narrow and the
collar and cuffs quite different from the
newest patterns, and the question at once
arises, 'How can it be remodeled?'
The coat requiring the most attention,
we will attend to it first.
Taffeta silk, or one of the many fancy
linen braids. and new buttons will be all
the trimming required. A new collar.
either of the shawl or sailor variety. VIII
do much to bring the coat up to date.
The addition Of a broad band around the
bottom will give the required length.
BY mitering the corners, braid four or
six inches wide can easily be made into
a square sailor collar and brought In a
broad band over the shoulders and from
there down the front of the coat. When
meeting the band that enclrcles the hem
makes a complete change in the appear
ance of the garment. Cuffs Of braid fin
ish the coat trimming.
When satin or taffeta is employed to
refreshen the suit the shawl collar, with
its curved edges, Is possible. In the
front broad lapels. forming a double col
lar. look we'll and are stylish. Deep
cuffs. having the upper edge curved to
match the collar. are also made of the
silk.
1t is not necessary to line linen braid
used in this manner, but silk requires
an interlining of material having enough
body to keep 1t smooth.
This should be cut out at the same
time as the silk. basting both together
firmly to avoid wrinkles. Turn both
edges in together and finish with a dou-
BILE or triple row Of stitching.
The skirt. out over last years model,

THE BRIDES HANDBAGS

If you know the bride-elect Intimately
and have money to spare help her out
with her trosseau by sending her a hand
bag. For morning shopping she will need
a practical and roomy receptacle of long
grain morocco in black, dark green or
blue; of pigskin bounded with sterling
silver or OF suede heavily stitched and
substantially mounted. Into one of these
bags, In addition to n change purse.
should be placed a fla little leather
covered book containing a mirror and a
pocket for face powder leaves and a
compact little case holding a couple of
reels of thread, a thimble and leaves for
needles and pins.
To go with her white suits and frocks
the bride-elect will need, or at any rate
Will be charmed to possess, a chatelaine
bag of white glace kid, imitation or pin
seal with silver cord and mountings and
with an outside pocket for n handker-
chief. For afternoon bridge parties or to
carry to a luncheon she certainly should
have a smart little bag Of shot taffeta
edged all around with a tiny shirred frlll
of the silk or of ~changeable taffeta with
a short-linlSed gilt chain containing a
mirror, powder puff and change purse Of
the metal. And when she makes her
calls, providing that she must go about
in the street cars, she should carry her
cards and her change In a Quaker-shaped
bag of silver mesh or of changeable silk
with silver mountings set with Jewels"

Dress for Class Day
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
viii you pease tell me what color of
dress a girl of 10 could wear at class
day. as / am about to graduate from
High School. | have been in mourning
for mother for one year. Do you think
1T proper for me to wear White TINS
summer? I thought of getting a silver
color wolfe over a white Sip and wear
ing black slippers and stockings. Yours
truly. n ~
Yes, it will be proper for you to wear
white this summer. l suppose you have
read that a few of the society women
are following the custom prevalent in
some of the oriental countries In adopt
ing white as an outward sign of mourn
ing. The change is a wise one, for it Is
true that our W feelings and those
of our associates are affected, to a great
er extent than we realize, by our
clothes. Why, then, should we make
both ourselves and others gloomy by
wearing the dull, warm-looking black
In the heat of summer?
Nothing will be prettier for your
class day exercises than a white lin
gerie dress. If you wish to retain the
mourning idea wear a black sash with
the white dress. This is purely a mat
ter of personal taste,t however, as the
pure white will be appropriate. l do
not care much for the silver wolfe. 1t
will not be as girlish as the simple
white dress. Somehow we always ASSOC
ciate pure white with the Sweet girl
graduate"
I hope everything connected with your
graduation will meet your expectations.

BATHING COSTUMES

Show most attractive materials and
trimmings.
American beauty satin trimmed with
%plaitlngs of black, lack buttons n
worn with cap and shoes in the same
bright hue is stylish.
A bold plaid in black and white taft
feta with pipings of bright green IL
another fetching combination.
Black mohair with deep collar and
turn-back cuffs of white mohair. show
ing a hand-worked scallop, is effective.
Little V-shaped panel inserts of white
silk were used to relieve h plainness
in the skirt and sleeves of a simple
black serge model designed for the surf
bath.
Peplums, revers, collars, scallops, pan
els and many other notes of fashion
which mark milady's street costumes
are being employed for this seasons
bathing suits and materials, designs and
trimmings were never more effectively
and gracefully combined.

any cases effective is made from a grain
of ~permanganate of potash and an ounce
of rose-water. This should be used halt
a dozen times during the day and care
should be taken that the back teeth are
rinsed each time. The teeth should be
brushed thoroughly after each applica-
ton or else the wash will stain them.
The flavor Is by no means agree
able, but may be improved by adding
"a few drops of oil of peppermint. An
other wash is made from a dram of
chlorate of potash and three ounces of
r~ose-water.
These washes should be tried for only
a few days. II at the end of that time
they have not brought about the desired
result they should be abandoned. for the
cause is more deeply rooted. The con-
dition is one which no one can afford
to permit to continue if there is any
cure at all.

FASHIONABLE SUMMER
COAT

Coats made simply with scalloped edges
are among the most fashionable for lit
tie children. This one is very pretty.
big collar is becoming to childish
figures and the cutaway fronts are in
the height of style. As there are only
boulder and under-arm seams to be
sewed the labor of making is slight, also.
Pongee is the material and the scallops
are bound with satin, and there are lit
tie buttons applied over the collar and
cuffs that give a very smart effect.
Linen and pique are much used, how
ever, and the coat would be very pretty,
as well as useful, made of such material.
Black satin and black taffeta are being
used with lining of color aud make very
charming summer coats. If something
more practical is wanted the fronts can
be left straight and the edges plain, the
coat being finished in any manner pre-
ferred, or the collar and cuffs can be
made of contrasting material. Blue with
white would be pretty or rose-color I'm
ished In the same way would be charm
ing. The collar and curs could be made
separately TO be adjusted over black satin
to make a very charming little coat. In
this case no shield is worn, but there Is
a separate one that can be used If occa-
sion requires.
For the 4-year size will be required 3s
yards of material 81, "a yards SO or ia
yards "A inches wide. If separate collar
and cuffs are wanted they will require "
yard of material q inches wide for the
making.
The May Manton pattern 1920 is cut in
sizes for children from 2 to 6 years of
age. 1t will be mailed to any address by
the fashion department of this paper on
receipt of ten cents.

all through the year, for the best bread
for cold weather is that containing the
most oil; corn-bread ranks first, oat and
rye-bread second, and wheat last. Few
city dwellers are exposed to the rigors
of cold that are not offset or increased
by additional clothing and an ordinary
mixed diet furnishes a plentiful supply
of carbon, but woodmen. sailors, travel
ers and others exposed to long cold
storms find that they must have a diet
including fat meats, starchy foods and
yolks of eggs.
Bananas, at this season. are, In many
places, the cheapest of fruits, as well
as the most wholesome and most nutri-
tlous. In such parts of the world where
they can be procured perfectly ripened,
and fresh from the trees, they form the
principal article of. diet.
They contain a small quantity of pro-
tein and fat and are almost one-fonrth
| carbohydrates; banana flour is even
more nutritious than the fruit owing
to the fact that the drying process pre-
paratory to the manufacture remove
! the moisture contained In the fresh
| fruit.
1t is said that a pound of ripe bananas
is equal to three pounds of meat, and
many more of potatoes, in nutriment.
By frying and baking appetizing dishes
may be made. Combined with oranges
and sugar they make a delicious des-
sert. They are a pleasant addition to
fruit salad and alone make excellent
fruit for breakfast.
They may also be fried in a little but

will be quite narrow and will need but
little alteration to bring 1t up to date.
Here silk or braid matching that on
the coat will do wonders toward the plan
of r~ejuvenation.
If the skirt is gored it will be an easy
matter to open the seam to the left of
the front panel and insert an inverted
V-shaped piece of silk. thus giving the
required width at the hem without
changing the perfect fit Of the skirt
around the hips and waist line.
This V can be set in under the open
seam, while the edges of the seam are
turned In and stitched down. giving the
appearance of one Of the newest
''slashed' skirts.
To make 1t correspond with the coat,
place a five-inch band of silk around
the hem of the skirt. This fills a two
fold need: that of trimming and of
lengthening the skirt If 1t Is necessary;
the newest models are all cut longer
than was deemed fashionable a year
ago.
If braid is used on the coat carry
out this effect on the skirt by opening
the side seam halfway from hem to
waist line. and over this stitch the
wide braid, allowing 1t to continue to
the waist over the skirt.
with a band of braid around the bot
tom of the skirt this makes an effective
trimming, especially If buttons match
ing those used on the coat are placed
at intervals of four inches on the side
band of braid.

The brides bouquet is the browning
point in her attire.
The very elaborate bouquet of previous
seasons has been supplanted this year by
the prim Victoria bouquets with their
quaint lace papers. So the up.to-the-
minute June bride of 1912 will carry one.
The bouquet illustrated is made of
roses and lilies completely enclosed by
maidenhair. The old-fashioned lace paper
is a sort of outside frlll and holds the
flowers and ferns closely in place.
The satin ribbon shower, the length of
which depends somewhat on individual
taste, is caught with lilies of the valley
and ~maidenhair sprays.

Miss Doom:
1 am engag ed to be married to a young
man next week and will be pleased II
you will publish the different rhymes
for each month and day. as l would like
to have some made. Thanking YOU for
this favor. JUNE BRIDE.
Here are some rhymes for the months
and days:
MARRY when the. year Is new,
Always loving, kind and true
When February birds do mate
You may wed, nor dread your fate;
If you wed when March winds blow
Joy and sorrow both you'll know;
Marry in April when you can,
Joy for maiden and for man.;
Marry in the month OF May,
You will surely rue the day;
Marry when June roses blow,
Over land sea you ii go;
They who in July do wed
Must labor always for their bread;
Whoever wed in August be
Many changes are sure to see;
Marry in September shine,
Your living will be rich and f1ne;
If in October you do marry,
Love will come b riches tarry;
Only joy will come, remember;
When December's SHOWS fall fast
Marry and true love will last"
Again
.'Nlarried in January's boar and time,
Widowed you'll be before your prime;
Married in Feb'ry's sleety weather,
Life you'll tread in tune together;
Married when March winds shril and
roar,
Your home will line on a foreign shore;
Married meath April's changeful skies,
A checkered path before you lies;
Married when bees Ger May blossoms
fit,
tranger around your board will sit;
Married in queen-rose month OF june
Life will be one long honeymoon;
Married as July's tiower-banks blaze,
Bitter-sweet mem'ries in after days;
Married in August's heat and browse,
Lover and friend in your chosen spouse,
Married in gold September's glow,
Smooth and serene. your life will now;
Married when leaves in October thin.
Toll and hardship for you begin;
Married in wells of Novembers mist.
Fortune your wedding ring has kissed;
Married In days of December's cheer,
Loves star shines brighter from year
to year.
And for the days:
Monday for health.
Tuesday for wealth.
Wednesday the best day OF all;
Thursday for losses,
Friday for crosses, -
Saturday no luck at all.

Remedy for an Offensive Breath
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom
l will thank you to advise me what to
do for a bad breath. Thanking you In
advance, / remain, Yours, u H.
This condition is due either to a dis
ordered stomach or to decayed teeth.
In the former case a teaspoonful OF oi,
carbonate of soda In a glass Of hot water
about one hour before breakfast will do
a great deal toward correcting the con-
dition. Some physicians prescribe a half
t%easpoonful of the soda in a glass of
water after meals. Charcoal tablets are
also good.
In the latter case consult a dentist at
once and see that the teeth are kept
~scrupulously clean. This cannot be done
with a toothbrush alone, but may be
brought about by the combination of a
tooth brush and dental floss. The lat,
ter gets into the c~reyices between the
teeth and removes particles of food which
lodge there and which the brush cannot
reach.
In either case use a good mouth wash
three or four lines a day. There are sew
eral good ones for sale at the druggists
Rinsing the mouth with listerine be-
fore and after meals is beneficial. A
mouth wash easy to compound and in

whether the bride-elect is rich or poor
she will be glad to be given a mending
basket. She'll be certain to like a two
or three-story affair of fancifully woven
natural willow in the dull tones and
odd designs of the Alaskan baskets.
These have either square or oblong sec
lions lined with shirred silk matching
the shade of tie ribbon that is wound
about the arched handle. Even more
attractive is a two-story basket in low
er shape. the upper portion faring into
five huge petals springing from a deep
bowl-like receptacle. The closely plated
silk which lines the inner side of this
upper story is securely caught between
the inward curves of each petal, thus
forming five separate bags to be drawn
taut with ribbon strings.

Simplicity Should Be the Prev
aIent Feature for Graduate

Dear Miss Doom:
1 am a High School girl. and expect
to graduate in June. My folks are poor,
and while they are going to let me have
a new dress, l am afraid 1t will not
be as nice as some that the other girls
will have, and I feel badly to think that
I will not look as we'll as some of the
rest. Can you help me? MILDRED.
1t is easy to tell a young girl not TO
worry about such things, but n who
has known the pangs of the hurt pride
of girlhood now how hard 1t is to &C
cept such counsel. 1 am glad to say,
Mildred, that 1t is now coming to be re-
garded as good taste to avoid display in
graduation gowns. Girls In simple gowns
may take pride in their good sense.

MIDSUMMER PLAINNESS

It's the same old story.
We like spring celebrations.
But for summer give us simplicity.
Panniers may flourish upon occasions.
Plumed headgear also fasclnates in
April.
But for a boiling day nothing touches
plain effects.
Furthermore, plain things are, as a
rule, the smartest.
On a hot day contrast the fussy,
frumpy maiden with one whose attire
Is easily and often ~laundered.

THE USE OF PERFUMES

There are many who think that the
use of perfume is vulgar, and again,
others who believe that a delicate fra
GRANGE surrounding the person not only
lends refinement, but Is also an element
that has a health-giving value. There
is one thing to be understood, however,
which is that perfumes should always be
used in moderation and only the best
allowed. Furthermore, always the same
perfume should be used and the choicest
OF that variety.
