I'VE just spent the most engrossinl
weekend taking stock and turn.
ing everything upside down in m,
wardrobe, and redesigning all tn,
still good, but out of fashion, things
that were hanging around taking III
space.
Those that didn't lend themselves
to the mood of the moment got pu
away into mothproof trunks, in
stead of being left to take up room
and worry my nice new toys by theil
useless presence.
Scarcely anything is ever so hope
lessly out of date but what some
thing can be done with it. AS ]
have told you before, it has to be
looked. at not for it's present lines
but for the material in it and how it
is cut.
Forgetting all about the garment
as it is at the moment. you rip II
up. have the pieces cleaned and
pressed, and THEN-this is impor-
tant-instead of trying. to adapt your
garment to your piece of material
adapt your material to the garment
that you already have selected to
make.
There really should be no such
a thing as made cover garment.
It's a new dress made from mate
rial that was in an old one, if you
wish. And if this of itself is well
made and smart, as it certainly can
be, then you really have something!
Good materials don't wear out
and seldom are cut out into such
small pieces that they can't be
used for anything else. How about
looking your wardrobe in the face
this weekend and seeing how many
new dresses you can make out of
what you find there?

And of course sit down first and
send 2-cent stamp addressed
envelope to the Dare Department
of The Times for the Ieafiet /
made for you as went along with
my own make-overs! There's
enough similarity in dresses and
coats and things SO that you
should be able to adapt some of
my suggestions to your own ward
robe.
For instance, the lovely chiffon
dress l have illustrated for you
today-we all have some like that,
hopelessIy short of course, and
seemingly impossible of saving.
Well, / have illustrated the pa
jana blouse that is made for the
house, and with a separate skirt,
lovely summer blouse for the
street.
Then there was the OId-fash-
toned tailored suit which made a
most wonderful-now I'm giving
all my secrets away and you just
have to send for the leahet to find
out the rest of the things | did
and you can do with oId-fash-
toned toys.

A ND at the same time let's take
IA glove and stocking and bag
and shoe inventory-just go through
them all relentlessly, one at time
of course.
For your gloves, separate them
into two boxes-one for your old
ones that you know you will use
only for driving or shopping, an
other for the better ones. Put out
all of those that have to be mend
ed or cleaned, throw away those
that you've had kicking around for
some time, and for one reason or

Struggle to
Gain Riches
Wastes Life

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
I'm worn out with the very idea
of having to move again" said the
wife of a rich man the other day.
Harry wants to go into a larger
place and so long as we can afford
it I suppose it's the thing to do.
But it seems to me as if we had
only been settled here since yester-
day, and I've grown fond Of this
house and put so much time in on
my garden that 1 can't bear the
idea of leaving it. Oh, why can't
people be satisfied with what they
have and enjoy it, without always
wanting something finer and big
ger?"
why, indeed? Have you not
asked yourself why the multimil-
Ioinaire seems to work so hard for
more and more millions?
Strains Every Nerve
Have you not wondered why Mrs.
Newly Rich strains every nerve to-
ward objects out of her reach?
Have you marked the discomfort
upon the faces of multitudes Of peo-
pie. the greedy, avid mouths, the
appraising and restless eyes?
There are those who tell us this
hunger for material wealth is an
admirable trait. and that we are
great as a nation. because we are
never satisfied, but want more and
mere luxuries, more and more
money, and more and greater power.
But does it not appear also that
we miss most of the really beauti-
full things of living because of these
Unsuitable desires? In our frantic
efforts to grab the luxury that is
jUct beyond our reach we overlook
so many of the lovely and satisfying
delights that are right at hand.
Less Than Nothing
There is something hollow and
false at the base of much of our
striving, because the thing striven
for intrinsically is worthless. Surely
piles of money within themselves are
less than nothing if in getting them
a man must neglect all the true and
good and sincere parts of his nature
and use up his life in the struggle
that eventually will leave him only
rich.
The farce of much of our democ-
racy is obvious. We hear, for in
stance, too much talk of service by
gigantic public utility corporations,
who utter their vain compliments
while they rob the people whom
they pretend to serve.

another you know that you simply
never will use
And here's an idea. Have box
of gem clips and several small
pieces of paper as well as a little
note book with you. AS fast as you
come across something that has to
be repaired, jot down where it is
and what it is and clip it to the
article. This will save you searching
again when you get ready to mend it
And as you go along, in the note
book jot down those things that
you find you have to buy sooner or
later. This will save you time, and
haphazard buying, too.

DEMONSTRATION
SWEEPS BOMBAY
Officials Fear Gandhi
Can't Call It Off.

BOMBAY, India, Aug. 4.-Con-
tinuous demonstrations are taking
place here against the police brutal
ity which suppressed Saturdays
memorial service for an anti-imper-
ialist leader killed ten years ago.
"Well informed Observers" say the
capitalist and British imperial news
services, "fear that even if Gandhi
orders the independence movement
stopped, the Indians will not obey
him."
Forty-one mills are struck, and
truck loads of strikers are touring
the streets with banners and shout
ing for independence.
Under this mass pressure, the
Gandhi Congress" dares not an
nounce the progress of the compro-
mise being worked out, but instead
must go ahead with a program for
a general Indian government, par
alleling the British imperialist gov
eminent. Natur lily, it is a capital
list Indian government the Congress
has in mind.

FIRING OUT OF TOWN
WORKERS IS AFL PLAN

NEW YORK.-In response to
sharp criticism of the officials of
A. F. L. building trades unions
over the wages paid on many jobs,
the Building Trades Council can
think of only splitting tactics. In
stead of trying to raise the S. paid
for skilled workers to the union
scale of $500 to $15.40, the coun-
Gil proposes to have discharged all
out of town workers who may have
come here looking for jobs.
The Empire State Building, of
which Al Smith is the head, has
fired 165 such workers. New York
workers were taken instead-but
without any raise in pay. The
union scale is paid, nominally, on
union jobs but actually workers
have take a discount in many cases,
always are outrageously
speeded. No pretense at paying a
union scale is made on non-union
jobs.
