NYl EVEHAL seasons &&O women
H wore embroidered lingerie
IN blouses which buttoned down
the back and had rather full
sleeves.
Now this style OF waist has become
.,asse, and many such blouses hang
discarded in wardrobes or packed
away In trunks. Generally the en-
broidery was exquisite. and It does
seem q pity that It is no longer used.
but for the thrifty housewife there are
innumerable ways Of remakinE these
blouses into really practical articles.
First. one can make thu daintiest tea
aprons from just such an embroidered
blouse. Cut the front section away
and carefully shape the embroidered
piece into an apron. Neatly edge It
with some fne narrow lace, head It
by band and strings to tie. Beading
may be used at the band and ribbon
drawn through for strings. Many
quaint little touches may be given to
this simple apron by the woman with
little originality.
Next carefully rip the sleeves and
cut them into small squares. A little
dne hemming and lace or crochet edg-
ing will make very dainty handker-
chief. An initial or dover may be
worked in the corner. Pale colored
thread is being used just now for this
purpose.
Another practical way to use up an
embroidered waist front Is by making
it. into a small pillow slip for the
baby's carriage. The central figures
Of the design must come in the center
of the slip. A frill of hne batiste,
made from the sleeves. might be utiliz-
ed as edging. The back Of the pillow
slip can be cut from either the back Of
the waist or one of the sleeves. A pill
low of pale pink or blue taffeta should
be stuffed with wadding and slipped
inside this pretty cover.
For the mother of little girl there
is the possibility of delightful little
frock. The embroidered front Of the
waist forms a splendid panel for lit
tie girls dress. and the back and
sleeves will finish out the remaining
portion Of the pattern. Two dainty ro-
settles might be placed on either side
Of the panel ct . low line

taken to preserve it. Do not attempt
to dry the shoes near the fire or to put
them in the oven. Instead wipe off the

found that much Of the natural oil has
been restored. If you have shoe trees,
put the shoes on them before applying

ER T this season of the year one
NV is inclined to be careless about
the amount of clothing they
wear. The tingle in the air is
exhilarating, but, no matter how much
it is enjoyed, one should not neglect to
have the feet well protected from the
dampness Of the ground and to add
wrap over the shoulders. 1t Is not
necessary to wear clothes as heavy as
required in the coolest winter months,
but no one should 90 with as light
clothing as they wore in June. II one
