This is that discouraging, in-be-
tween season when 1t is too soon to
start looking for spring finery in
spite of the fact that our winter
clothes have become dlsgustlngly
familiar not only to ourselves but
10 our friends. The only solution
lies in a bit of clever disguise which
can be accomplished with a little
thought and virtually no expense.
Brighten Up Your Wardrobe
Take, for instance, that old black
dress--or the green or blue n for
that rnatter. ~ starchy white pique
collar will go far toward making 1t
look pert and new-or a lingerie
touch at the throat and wrists will
give 1t a daintiness you didn't dream
K could possess. And your suit that
yen have been wearing straight
through the winter and have felt a
bit threadbare-send 1t to the clean
ers to get the sag out of the skirt
and nut the crease back in the
sleeves and then shop around In the
seasons end sales until you find a
blouse that Is completely unlike any
you lave worn with 1t before. The
combination will make YOU feel that
you have an entirely new outfit and
you'll probably decide to wear II
right into the spring. Stop in at
the fve-and-ten or any other conven-
lent notions counter and pick up a
bangle or two to break the line of
any number of old dresses. A string
of brightly colored beads, a new
jingly bracelet or an unusual belt
can add just the needed touch OF
dash to a dress that you had thought
out-moded.
