A WORD TO THE WISE.
How to Make Two Dresses Look Like
Four,

Last summer clever girl with very
few pennies made two dresses look
like four, which is, you will admit,
quite an accomplishment. There Is no
reason why her example cannot be fol
lowed this year.
She bought materials for two ratine
dresses, one Of blue and one white.
She made them exactly alike. with
belted Russian coats with rather short
TUNES. The blue coat had white col
lar and cuffs. and the white coat had
o blue collar and cuffs. The blue skirt
was a little more elaborate than the
white, as II was meant for church
wear.
When she wanted variety she
changed coats, wearing the blue coat
with the white skirt and vice versa.
With the addition OF black straw
shade hat decorated with wreath OF
field flowers and a stiff white walking
hat with a black quilt, she was either
very dressy or quite tailor made. The
coats required no blouse beneath and
80 were not too warm for even very
hot days, but either skirt could he
worn with pretty lingerie blouse II
she so desired.

her existence in spite of the declara-
tion by one of the men extricated
from the ruins that he had spoken to
her for hours before he was rescued.
The bodies of three men who had
been killed In the collapse and twelve
others, three of them women serious
ly injured, were removed from the
ruins. The woman thought to have
