All tho larger rolls and bundles may be
kept in boxes.
Bags, too. made of lawn or chintz. are
excellent hold-alls for odd bits of silk
and velvet too small or too dainty to be
put in with ordinary patches. 1t will
also be found that old garments which
have been ripped. cleaned and pressed
will be far more tempting as general
source of supply to draw from than a
pile of odds and ends wrinkled from
being put away in a heap. Another
great convenience is a measurement

Children's clothes are as often hand
ed down as let down. There are limit
less possibilities in mems cast-off neg
ligee shirts, and these garments really
pay for the time spent in remaking into
blouses, aprons and dresses, because
the material Is better than one can af-
ford to purchase for children's clothes.
A half-worn dress made for a woman,
II it be a simple model. may be cut
down to good advantage for young
girl when the original lines are re-
tained.
The best parts of sheer linen sleeves
cut from a woman's blouse may be
utilized as tiny featherstitched and
lace-trimmed yokes for the baby's
dresses. Even the trimmed ends OF
worn-out pillow cases have been con-
verted into little white petticoats. and
they are worth q yoke or band because
the tucking or hemstitching Is already
done.
A band Of insertion on each side Of a
waist belt gives the desired additional
length to a connected or one-piece dress,
and a little empire frock with its skirt
corded to the bodice needs merely to be
detached and rejoined with a girdle.
Skirts are rarely successful when the
extra material Is added to the extreme
lower edge. Any method by which the
insert is placed above the hem Is better

When this worsted trimming is used
on an evening gown. such as the white
tulle one. fer instance. faint shade Is
chosen. Pink or blue in the dresden
shepherdess tones is attractive; and when
the gown is black the same color
mingled with white or gold is in good
taste. However, it is not advisable to
use this worsted embroidery on black
| evening frocks; it is not effective and is
apt to cCarsen rather than brighten the
gown. On white or any pale tone of thin
material 1t goes well.
The reason for its employment is not
