TOUR summer dresses, some shirt

go away with them with all her lrous-
seau clothes the meager coliecllOIl
would never do.
Helen sat down on the edge Of the
ped, and began TO 80 over the Things
hstlessly. Two OF the summer dresses
were new, one of white silk and one
Of pink crepe-they, Of course, were
just what she needed One OF the even
ing dresses she had had made the latter
part Of the winter, and its style was
new and very becoming, but the other
was one of her Paris gowns, still beau
tiful but hopelessly out Of date
She would never be able TO use II IN
the condition il was IN now. Dul she
might be able to have il made over
Some chiffon draped over the satin
would do very well, and II Miss Graves
would give her some time she might
have another little dress made up al the
same time. Miss Graves had Just sent
just the thing for church or Tor cool
afternoons-and then she had her suit
and a couple Of new blOuses-
Helen had placed all the desirable
clothes on one side Of the bed and now
she turned to the others wondering
what could be done with the last year 2
summer dresses. one pink and white
linen, she slipped over her head ana
went into the living room TO inspect
herself in the mirror.
She Calls to Nora.
Nora, come in and hook this dress
up, will you" she called. I want to
see if I can possibly use il this year"
Nora came in obediently and fastened
the dress up the back. She sai0 moth

ritated Helen.
What do you think about this dress,
Nora Do you think I could wear 1t
this year?"
The dress was slightly short WASTED
and was, made in coat style and
Helen had either grown or else the dress
had shrunk badly, for the linen seemed
to pull badly around the bottom Al
together the dress had a last summers
air about il and il was so foolish TO try
to make over a wash dress that Helen,
without a reply from Nora, felt instinc-
lively that it would not do.
1T seems too small for you, ma'am,"
said Nora finally, and Helen, with a
smile began TO unlock 1t quickly.
y guess that settles il. Nora, and I
think the other one is just as bad. Here
il is, do you remember how fond I used
TO be of this blue striped dress when
il was new, NOra?'
Nora picked up the blue and white
striped wolfe from the bed. The blue
was slightly faded and one Of the
sleeves was badly torn under the arm.
do you think you could do anything
with these dresses, Nora2 II you do
Just take them TO your room, YOU can
make more use Of them than I could"
Thank you, ma'am. III be able TO fix
them up. They'll be better than any
thing I could afford to buy"
She Finds Bathing Suits.
In a wardrobe drawer Helen found
Warren's bathing suit and ner own and
a couple of white linen skirts that she
had forgotten.
One she had been particularly fond
Of. and she pulled II out eagerly. The
style was good, in fact she had seen
one very much like IL n one OF the
windows downtown There were large
