MODES OF
THE HOUR
Use Of Plaids as an Established
Fashion Offers Opportunity for Ex-
ploitation in Many Attractive Ways.
Frocks Can Be Made Over to
Look Like New.

Look Like New.
The use Of plaids In combination with
materials Of solid color is being exploited
in many attractive ways The fact that
II is an established fashion opens UP
unusual opportunities for the making
over Of frocks for the big and the little
so that they will look like new creations.
The little girls costume sketched to-
day can be made UP in two ways, either
to serve as a Sunday frock or an every
DAY rouEh-and-ready one. In the latter
case, dark blue or brown or green serge
and woolen plaid that harmonizes with
the color chosen would be the most ap-
propriate materials.
II would make n distinctlv dressv Iittis
frock II velvet and silk were used to-
gether The Killed skirt is such a dimin-
utive one that II would not require
many yards of silk, even in the very
narrow widths. The sleeveless Jacket in
velvet or in fine broadcloth would not
be an item of heavy expense, and IL IL
designed on such absolutely simple lines
that 1t would lend itself easily to home
manufacture.
The front of the coat is cut away to
show tho tied ends of the ribbon sash
satin ribbon would harmonize with a
velvet Jacket. but II broadCluth is used
Tor the coat, then Il velvet ribbon would
show Off to advantage.
This is a detail, however. that might
be omitted without spelling the effective
ness of the dress. Just a straight little
Jacket would be pretty enough, certainly.
for everyday wear.
The guimpes, made OF sheer lawn or
muslin, could be simplifed or elaborated,
according to individual taste or the occa-
sion for which II Is Intended A few
hand run tucks and scalloped COL
lars and cuffs add 50 much real beauty
that 1t Is we'll worth the trouble to any
one whose tastes run In this direction.
Speaking Of the possibilities OF tartans
where making over is, concerned, an old
serge frock can be treated in such a way
that II will look like n reincarnation with
not trace visible of its former exist
cnCe.
Serge can be washed and ironed regu-
larly tubbed. and come out, not shining,
but looking as Il did in the original bolt,
Sash or girdle and collar and cuffs OF
plaid silk will give the plainest frock
bit worn, the bright plaid will deceive
the eye into thinking it quite new.
A drop skirt of plaid. with IL long tunic
OF the plain color, and plaid sleeves in
plain basque will work Transformation
without much expense or trouble.
Plaids, the tartans of all tho famous
clans. are on the crest of fashions wave
this winter, and indoors or out, the
bright colors add quite definitely to the
gaety of the general scheme OF things.
