The Chinese delegates then pressed
another OF their ''ten point" de-

troops from Chinese soil, and also for
abandonment Of foreign telegraph, ru-
do and police wire systems. DIR. SEE
presented information regarding the
number of troops and extent of for

General adherence, II was said, was
given to the principle Of retirement Of
foreign troops and wire systems from
China in conformity with the princi-

AN OLD WHITE SKIRT
AN ECONOMY STORY.

Have you an old white skirt which
you thought ready for the rag bag
What il the matter with it? 1t is too
tight around the hips Rip out the hem
and il il is worn on the fold cut il off.
Raise the skirt until it is large enough
around the hips. Cut off the top and
attach to an inner belt Unless your
old inner belt is as good as new buy
a new one, for the inner belt often
makes the success of failure of a skirt
Even off the bottof and if not too
short fact it. Otherwise you will have
to make false hem. What is false
hem1 1t is merely strip of cloth,
straight or bias, as preferred, which is
set on the bottom of the skirt to re-
present hem mot facing). 1t may
be of the same or of contrasting ma.
terial Use plaid or striped material
add a touch to pockets or belt and
show your friends a brand new sport
skirt.
Is your skirt too large? Either take
up the seams or recut it into a new
style Or, perhaps the top is too worn
to use any more Put on new yoke
of similar material. In case you have
no more of the old material use any
white material and wear the skirt with
MILDLY blouses or one of the new long
blouses You might make new MILDLY
blouse from the old skirt. Use the
bottom of the skirt for the bottom of
the blouse. Measure up the length
desired and cut the top of the blouse
by a plain waist pattern. Add sleeves,
collar and belt of similar or contrast
ing material and you are ready for
the next picnic.
Does Johnny need new romper or
Sunday suit? Get out your pattern
and arrange all of it on the unworn
parts of the skirt before cutting. Make
it all white or trim it with colored
scraps from the useful rag bag. The
material is strong enough to last
Johnny season and by that time he
will have outgrown it. Or is it Mary
that is in need? Make her a jumper
dress to wear with thin white guimpes
which you can make from your old
waists.
But you have no Mary or johnny
and you don't need another MILDLY
blouse? However, you do need YES
tee for your tailored suit and that old
pique, linen, or madras skirt will fur
nish the very latest material. Use
your old vestee for a pattern or get a
new style. Cut it double if you want
it lined with the same material or line
it with, lawn and have two vestees
Cover button molds with the same
material, or use pearl or black bone
buttons, and you have as stylish an
article as you'll find in the shops and
for a much smaller amount. And that
green linen needs new ollar and cuff
set which you can cut from the old
skirt.
So take that old skirt out of the bag
and look it over to see what wonders
you can perform.
