The Care Of Delicate China.
~HTNA and artistic pieces of pott

@HINA and artistic pieces of pottery
are SO inexpensive and their col
lection is a source of so much in
terest and real enjoyment that their
rare and arrangement are a matter OF
more than passing interest in the home.
Good china or pottery limitations require
q suitable setting for best effects. Nalu-
able specimens should be single or placed
tn groups. Mugs and plates on the plate
rail should be separated, each collection
as n single decoration.
The construction of the plate rack
should conform to the general style OF
the room, and the articles placed upon
II should be of one color or consist Oh
a collection of pieces which VIII not
give to the room the general air of a
curio shop.
One woman desirous of having dainty
plates upon her plate rack, but VINO
was unable to get the kind she wlsheo'

ting patterns from a paper that Is used

The washing Of valuable china needs
to be carried out very cautiously and
carefully. A big wooden bowl filled with
warm soapsuds. to which a few drops Of
household ammonia have been added,
should be prepared, and each piece Of
china washed separately in this, using
a square of old flannel for plain pieces
and a soft brush for elaborately orna-
mental articles. Rinse in another wooden
bowl of clear warm water and dry with
linen cloths. Wash the pretty, new table
china yourself in the dining room. Have
q pan of hot water, some soap. mop
and towels in the dining room after the
meal is over, and there wash the china

To Alter Last Springs Suit

dressmaker as she figured forth in her
minds eye the suit after it had been re-
modelled. And within few minutes she
had her scissors going, working out the
change.
First Of all. the skirt was completely
ripped up and th. lining taken out of the
coat These We're sent to be freshened by
the cleaner. Then the coat tails were
cut off and the line of the front was
sloped off to extend five or six inches be-
low the waist in back The regulation
collar was also shorn off and the sleeves
were shortened about six inches.
The new materials selected were half
a yard of one of the many-colored metal
lie silks and several yards of chiffon taf-
feta exactly matching the raven blue Of
the serge.
From the taffeta the dressmaker fash
joped a gracefully rolling Medici collar
and faring turnback cuffs and a sradu-
ated haring peplum about eight inches
long In front and eighteen in back. The
nenlun was stitched over a piping of the
Same material along the bottom OF the
coat, and the cuffs and collar We're
stitched on with narrow bands OF re
metalTic silk. 4 narrow waistcoat, with
nockets was made OF the same metalhc
silk and fastened into position In the
made-over coat. One of the new striped
coat Innings gave it the final touch or
distinction.
The skirt had to be entirely remodeled,
and mis- was done by using taffeta silk
for the upper part, about eigheeen ,ncnes
deep. The lower portion was fashioned
from the old serge. light peg-top erect
was produced with the so1t 1oioS Oh tHe
taffeta at the hips.
This is Just one of the things that can
be done with the seemingly Impossible
suit Of last spring.
plaid silk is much used in connection
with suits this. season and this can be
combined in a variety of ways with
the material of the old suit. The skirt
can be rejuvenated by adding yoke
portion of the new material or by put
ting on a pleated peplum reaching mid
way between the waist and knees
shorter in back than in front: Iheh
there are the little pannier-Hke s1de
tunics made of some harmonizinS ma
terial that give the needed NIP preautn
to the old suit.
Wide black mohair braid is used to
ADVANTAGE on the old suits and one
particularly pleasing model showing
short side tunics made of three slight
" fulled rows of eight-inch mohair
braid suggests a way to alter an old
suit.
So many Of the new suits have short
ened sleeves that in remodeling the
old coat it would be a good rule to cut
off the long sleeves and add f1aring
. cuffs. Waistcoats too. add a new note
of color to last years jacket. Some of
the waistcoats extend below the coat,
thus giving the full-waisted effect still
in favor.
AS for the collar, linen or silk collars
are much used on the new coats. Some
of them are fiaring. some are made in
rundown and turnback fashion, and
many are frill-like in their wired full
ness.

course your last springs suit
looks hopeless and if you are
one of the women who must
needs find another seasons serv-
ice in it no doubt you are in
state of genuine self-pity over it.
Usually, 1t seems at first glance. fashion
is kinder to those who have to wear their
clothes two seasons than she has been
this year. She usually insinuates changes
gradually enough so that suit, If con-
servatively chosen one year, will not bear
Its vintage date where all may see.
But not so this year. There has been
a revolution in suit building and one has
to take off ones hat to the men who
make women's suits in token OF the speed
and ingenuity with which they have
adapted the new lines to the matter of
skirts and jackets.
= 3
But that doesn't help US in the least if
We have to wear last years suit.
Neither does the statement that fash
ions this spring are not radically differ
ent from those of last autumn. For fash
ions last autumn We're radically different
from those of the spring.
However. the difficulty is not so great
as il looks as an ingenious dressmaker
who makes point of remodeling pointed
out the other day.
A customer brought her n suit that
looked obviously out of date, though 1t
was in good condition and had seen but
one summer. 1t was constructed of a
very good quality of fine vale. raven blue
serge. There was cutaway coat with
long coat tails that reached more than
half way to the knees. The sleeves were
long and there was the regular notched
collar dear to the heart of the tailor. The
skirt was long and straight. with a sort
of sword sash brousht from one side OF
the belt TO the opposite hip and there tied
Like all of last springs suits it was
quite as remote from the new lines as II
it had been ten or fifteen years old.
