necessary. The deep sailor collar of cream satin attractive1y completes a waist which may be used with suits or with it's own skirt.
 TUNIC. OF GEORGETTE GRAPE
 The old skirt of crape, meteor was shortened slightly and the new tunic of Georgette crape gathered at the waist concealed its narrow gored-lines. A band of brown fur is set on this tunic. Fur is invaluable as a make-over adjunct because it adds an attraction to a gown which could not be obtined without con siderable expense if the fur is newly pur-

chased. However, there are many good limitations and dyed belts which make at- tractive trimming, so even if newly pur- chased this band of fur need not be prohibitive in price. This class of fur trimming will be be In greater demand than ever this winter. Small bits of embroidery like that on the sleeve, fin ished with loops of seal brown gros- grain ribbon, are set at intervals on the tunic back and front.
 COAT AND SHADES OF BROWN
 In the other sketch I have suggested how to change an ordinary topcoat into one of the new Russian models. The Russian blouse will be quite stylish both i'll suits, coats and fur coats. The old reveres of your coat, if ironed out flat, will furnish the two new curved scallops which permit the novel closing. This gives the closing at the neck which per- mits the high collar of the plaid.
 Many wool materials of plaid design will be found on the counters this fall This plaid is in two shades of brown on fawn- colored ground. The coat is fawn color. The buttons are big, brown bone affairs Two pockets of plaid are set in the side seam and the opening finished with an arrowhead worked in brown. TWO similar pockets are set in the skirt of the coat. This portion of the coat is made from the skirt of the old loose coat attached to belt of brown lining satin. A broader plaid belt finishes the waist line. It buttons on the left side The collar also buttons on the left side with brown buttons. A wide double fold of the plain material is set on around the bottom to give more lenght to the coat. Deep cuffs of plaid are turned back on the sleeves. These are faced with brown lining satin The collar is similarly faced.
 This idea may be utilized in making over a suit if the jacket is loose enough at the waist line The skirt of suit will make the gathered skirt of the coat and the plaid material used for trimming, should also be used for an entirely new skirt. This idea may sound involved, but it will not be found difficult when you begin work. If you have suit of good material, no longer stylish, sufficient new goods in plaid to make new skirt and furnish the trimmings will be found a worthwhile expenditure.

 cine Go.

Women who are we'll often ask "Are the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Go. are continually publishing, genuine?" "Are they truthful ?" "Why do women write such letters 2"
 In answer we say that never have we published fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it.
 The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink ham 5 Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering.
 1t has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis placements, inflammation, alteration, Irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues.

amusing TO recall, by the way, how fond
the English critics have been Of the

is an offshoot Of the Salon. The young

TO be said for him mat he rries very
hard to paint something of his own.
That he should not, in the long run,
affirm anv very striking originality. IS,
we suppose, his misfortune rather
than his fault. Meanwhile he and
his colleagues convey the impression

disciples as by leavening taste IN the
studios and incidentally suggesting 70
the young British artist that he might
proftably look abroad for ideas. New
groups came into being, the Glasgow
School. the little colony at Newlyn and
the New English Art Club. This last
mentioned organization, now OF mature
age, has been especially active in the
cause Of artistic reform, seeking TO re-
move from British art the curse OF in
sularity, preaching and practising a
healthy cosmopolitanism. That is the

We are not sure but that in the

the English problem. That the latter
is still a problem. that the younger

is the obvious lesson of the present
