ins can be pressed on the wrong side with warm irons, not hot irons, plushes and velvets are steamed to raise the nap, remove creases and clean the material. Wool materials can often be turned and used on the wrong side. It may not always be like the right side but the difference will not be noticeable in most cases.
 If you have any fur on old coats, get it out and see what can be done with it. Adorable coatees can be made from it. They are very smart this season and enable you to wear your dresses well into the winter be- fore getting in to suits and long coats. Dresses are so popular now that these cape-coatees are certain to have a great vogue If there isn't enough fur for a coatee there may be enough for scarf and huff, or for the col lar and saddle pockets on a su,s These pockets hang like a panel, one is folded over the other making a huff.
 A style that is especially good for making over is one with a tunic and jumper as they are cut from small pieces. The tunic is very short in front, almost the length of the pep lum that is so popular, and in the back , it is broken by two narrow panels like sashes. The jumper is longer than the jumper of last year It gives the long waisted effect together with the panel line in the front and back. It is the distinctly new note of the season. Even though there may be very little wool left from last years dress there will surely be enough for a jumper of serge, tricotine, gabardine, pOplin, broadcloth or velours, with the sleeves and skirt. In any of these combina- tions satin may be used for the under skirt with silk crepe, silk voile, or chif- ion cloth for the sleeves and side body. A rather more elegant dress is made that way. Almost any full skirt of several seasons back will give ma- terial for the other part of the dress. And another skirt might be used for the foundation. If a longer line is desired for the tunic it may be ob- tained by using fringe which is ex- tremely favored this year. It may be possible that enough satin, charmeuse, satin-faced poplin, faille, crepe meteor or crepe de chine may well be on hand to use for the entire skirt and jumper, with silk crepe for the sleeves and sidebOdy. The same could be done with velvet, making the sleeves of either satin or some transparent ma terial. It is simple dress but very becoming and elegant.
 ,II find in cutting them down from the old styles to the new narrow ones that you will have some material left over. Not enough for a new dress for yourself but enough to go a good way towards one for one of the children. Their own dresses are more likely to be outgrOwn than wornout, and if you can lengthen them with a bit of new material, using the jumper and panel, the appearance of the old dress will be totally different and give it a new lease on life.
 A way to lengthen an outgrown dress for a child is to use an empire waistline. A trim slim little dress with a good deal of the look of a suit about it. The top has the appear ance of a jacket but is really sewed fast to the skirt and a little waist coat front is part of the dress. A style that can be used to lengthen a skirt by dropping it several inches at the top. Plain wool material can be used such as serge. gabardine, soft twills, poplin or tricotine for either the body or the skirt with a plaid wool material for the other part. Or a wool material could be used in the skirt with satin in the body. Tn the same way chambray could be used in the dress and gingham in the panels A white linen, poplin, pique. Indian head with panels of colored linen. This is a simple little dress but has a great deal of style and would be nice for school.
 The Huns seem to be running short
