Faatinns of To-Day = By May Manton

Moehefs who are thinEne. of making over last years dresses will be sure to welcome this suggestion. It is so essentially practical and at the same time 90 essentially smart. Here. satin is combined with plaid serge but you could make vari- ous combinations that would he equally effective. A plain blue serge would be pretty combined with . plaid one, or combined with plaid taffeta, or if you want a plaid dress you could combine it with a plain ma terial, reversing the: treatment: shown here. Many mothers Eke washable materials for the school dresses throughout the entire season. If you follow the suggestion shown here and use a plain and plaid gingham, you, will have a very smart frock, adapted to everyday use.
 For the 12-year size will be needed. a]3 yards of material $ inches wide for the upper poftion, IL yards 44 for the lower portion and trimming, or, 3N yards 36, 3M; yards A, for ohe material.
 The pattern No. o588 is cut in eixes from 8 to I4 years. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of tAis paper, on receipt of fifteen ceats.
 What will Christmas be vith- out dolly and what would dolly be without an ,up-to-date cos tune. Here is a really fasci- hating one which shows all the newest and smartest features, yet is is so simple that it can be very easily made. There are only two pieces in the little draped skirt and the blouse is of the tie-on sort that involves no difficulties whatsoever. The little circular cape will involve the minimum of time and y, of labor. You can make the dress all of one material or you can make the skirt of one and the bodice of another, and anything that is both pretty and prac- ncal is desirable.
 For the medium size the s'ress will requires. 11s yards
 [ material 27 inches wide, W
 ards 36. and the cape, N ards 77, hs yards 36.
 The pattern, No. o58o is cut in sizes 18, q and .26 inches high. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Depart ment of this paper, on receipt of ten cents. s> =
