For The Old Coat Lining.

paper Syndcate.)
Not ono woman in fifty. unless she be
an expert seamstress, can refine coat
satisfactorily. But almost any woman
who knows how to use a thimble can
mend an old coat to good effect.
It would be very nice if coat refining
were something that Mrs. Everywoman
could do for herself. for tailors charge
often as much as So for the work and
material of a new lining, and sometimes
now that the price Of eggs and shoes
and milk and gasoline and dear knows
what else is soaring-this outlay on the
old coat or suit Jacket seems little
more than Mrs. Everywoman wants to
pay. So it really would be nice if she
could do this little task Of tailoring.
But If she tries she is too often greeted
with a result far from satisfactory
the lining looks as if it fitted every line
of the coat and it has been put in with
such care. But 1t pulls here and draws
here. says here, and punches in an
other place, till the outside of the coat
looks as II 1t had never been pressed
and had been made at home besides.
But renovating the old lining is a
simpler task and as the body of the old
lining does not have to be changed there
is practically no chance Of bungling the
Job. In the first place. before going
about to attend to the lining, it is a
good idea to give the coat and the skirt
that goes with it thorough brushing
in the open. turning down cuffs. and
turning inside out all pockets to rid the
garments Of every bit Of dust possible.
Then a good bath in cleaning gasoline
is worth the added trouble and ex-
pense Then look over the coat care
fully and notice the size and location of
the worn spots.
Usually the part Of the coat under the
arms is most badly worn. Then the line
about the waist and just below 1t is al
most sure to show signs of wear. and
next there is pretty sure to be a worn
spot In the sleeve lining just at the
wrist. Mentally measure these places
and then with small sample cut from
one of the worn places of the coat go
and buy enough silk for the mending.
Usually it is easier to handle thin silk
for this work. More important than
matching the sample in quality is it to
match it as nearly as possible in color
out and rip them out along the under
arm section. Now cut pieces from the
silk of the shape of the portion that is
worn or tender under the arm on the
body of the lining and haste the edges
Of these pieces neatly and then haste
the pieces into position. Now make
pieces to cover the worn spots in the
sleeves themselves. both at the top and
at the cuffs, and haste these under and
then into position. And so in every
area of the lining that seems to be
worn. cover with the new silk with
out cutting out the old material. Now
with sewing silk to match sew each
patch into place very neatly. taking
care not to catch the outside material
Of the coat. Before going about to
place the pieces notice If the original
lining has sagged anywhere. II it has,
catch 1t into its proper position before
placing the new silk. Z

had relatives at Bowdoin at some time

B0WD0|N COLLEGE
ATTRACTING men
FROM OUT OF STATE

Brunswick, Me-, Nov 16.-(SpeciaD.
That Bowdoin College is far from
drawing its students from Maine alone
is shown by figures recently compiled
at the Deans Office. According to these
figures only $50 per cent Of the men
come from this state ,and. the other
81 per cent are from '18 other states
In the Union and from four foreign
countries. OF these other states Mas
sachusetts sends the largest contin-
gent. This year it is IA men, and of
some late years it has been even more
than this number. New Hampshire
and New York are next in order each
contributing ten. The college has
man from each Of the following coun-
tries: Canada, England, China and the
Dutch West Indies.
This tendency to attract students
from out Of the state has increased
considerably within the last ten years.
In 1915 only 1919 per cent Of the stu
dents did not claim residence in
Maine. By 1910 the percentage had in
creased to rs. and in 1915 it reached
the highest 34.5 per cent. This shows a
falling off of 3.4 per cent in this
years registration.
