i the most expensive fabrics their neatness alone will command respect.
 Here are some suggestions for making over garments:
 A lady's coat and skirt suit can be made into a very serviceable one piece dress A separate skirt combined with a rem nant makes a pretty one-p piece dress.
 Long coats can be made over for ones
 self, or a top coat for young girl or boy.
 A short coat can be remodeled for a
 dress for a girl, using remnant for com
 bination.
 Waists can be tinted and recut for a
 guimpe for girl. or a camisole, or a baby s cap, or covering for a woman's sum-
 nler hat.
 From worn night gowns, infant dresses, chidren's petticoats, or corset covers can be made.
 | If the gowns are heavier, the worn | yokes may be cut off Sew up the end,
 run a tape through the hem and you
 have slip cover for fine dress or coat,
 when hung in the closet. 1 From mems worn shirts, children's g dresses, combined with remnants. can be made blouse waists for boy. bibs for the baby or apron for the woman. , Old neckties make beautiful patch work comfort tops or couch covers. Old sweaters may be washed dyed, un- raveued, reknit for women's or children < sweaters. scarfs, caps or wristlets. Keep all scraps of silk or velvet, for patch work quilts, couch covers, shop ping or work bags. Stocking tops or old underwear may be used for bloomers, or petticoats for
 babies or little girls. bed socks, dust
 rags or wash rags or for miscellaneous mending.
 If possible, mend knit underwear with
 knit underwear patches, basting the patch oyer the hole Stitch with machine, hemming down the raw edge by hand.
