Make it yourself-do it your
self--these are always a chal-
lenge to you and if you own a
sheath for summer wear and
can thread a needle you are
of to a capsule wardrobe that
can take you through most Of
the summers travels at home
and abroad.
A little imagination can eX-
tend the life span and ward-
robe possibilities Of any one
or two outfits. Say you own a
summer sheath in butcher
linen, pure Irish linen or
wrinkle resistant cotton. Ever
think how its wearing qualities
could be expanded with a
matching of co-ordinated sum-
mer coat? To really capital
iZe on your sheath fashions,
however, you can begin by
cutting yourself some large
circles of fabric for overskirts.
Follow the waist measurement
and length of a dress you own
with a full circle skirt. III
you're very handy you can
plan your overSkirt with un-
pressed pleats.) Stitch to a
self band or ribbon if you like.
Add Accessories
Consider your sheath for
daytime with casual access
sories-a straw or leather belt
and matching sandals or
pumps. Fill in the neckline
with a printed scarf if it is
cut out and the weather cool
enough to warrant it. With the
same sheath, a cardigan
sweater, blazer or long over
blouse type shirt would give
the impression of a completely
different outfit. Then to ex-
tend its use further for gen.
eral daytime, consider the
overskirt in a deeper shade of
solid fabric; a print with back
ground color keyed to the
sheath or multicolor stripe,
again with color harmonious
to the dress underneath.
For late day, the sheath
alone with dramatic jewelry is
excellent for dinner and in.
formal evenings. This is also
a time when you can dress il
UP and change its appearance
with a gay printed, bold
check or plaid overskirt-if il
is a solid color to begin with.

it still is almost unbelievable

Taken for Granted
We take these miracles for

Not only do we take inde-
pendence for granted but we
fail to exercise it in many wise
and productive ways. It seems
appropriate to declare a per-
sonal independence on this day.
Why not declare independence
from thinking in terms Of
years, from boredom. from hec-
ticness, from the narrow view
point, from senstitiveness. from
worry, from always having to

Why not apply our right to
