this year. and with a little more he
can remodel the suit OF a couple Of
years ago satisfactorily.
Last years suit may need no al
iteration at all. A new lining, or per-
haps Only clever patching OF the old
lining-which you may be able 20
do yourself-may put il into ad-
mirable shape.
And OF course you may know how
10 effect the small alterations that
tailor usually does. II you know
how 20 make them, well and good.
You will have just so much more
money TO spend for something else.
Before you decide how TO have
the old suit altered. go about the
shops a little and look at this years
suits. You may be as fortunate as
a woman who. quite discouraged
with the clothes proposition this
year, was enviously looking in the
shop windows. There she saw,
quite unexpectedly, a black velvet
jacket almost exactly like a long
discarded one at home. Her spirits
rose like a summer thermometer,
and now she has a charming winter
costume. consisting Of a plaid wool
skirt and a black velvet Jacket.

REMODELING THE VELVET SUIT


Velvet, as you probably know. il
much in vogue this season.
Velvet, as you likewise probably
know, costs a good deal So if you
are the lucky pOssessor OF a velvet
suit or coat by all means get il out
from its hiding place in trunk or
cedar bag and have il renovated.
Now it costs from SIS TO IS to
have a velvet suit steamed. But II
the velvet is OF good quality this
process is well worth while, for il
really rejuvenates the velvet and the
suit is as good as ever it was be
fore. So don't begrudge the cost
Of steaming Only a professional
can do il satisfactorily.
IL is a very difficult matter to
steam velvet at home, or if your
old suit needs steaming, you will
probably have TO have il done by a
professional. even if the process is
bit expensive
Then comes the remodeling pro
cess itself.
OF course a tailor can best do
this He knows just how TO set 20
work just what sort OF work TO do
on velvet 10 make il most satisfac-
tory. And probably with a very
little alteration he can remodel last

from an ornamental chain about her
neck, but afterward It became tne
custom to carry the keys ON an orna-
mental cord around the wrist. And
finally the keys were attached to a
woman's finger by means OF cord
or gold wire, This naturally meant
reduction in the number Of seals, and
some genius OF the DAYS OF old hit
upon The idea OF combining the seal
and the wire together, from which we
get the signet ring. Such ring was
regularly presented TO the bride on
her wedding day.
Things had reached this state OF
progress when keys seem to have
been first used i'm Egypt to any great
extent, The coming of locks did away
with the Witely seals and her peculiar
mark OF sovereignty In tho home. By
degrees the 0lEnet ring went out OF
fashion RS the SPECIAL prerogative Of
the bride, and was succeeded by a
plain band r0g such as every young
lady of to-day expects 10 wear.
