TWO SIMPLE MADE-OVERS

Tailored Shirtwaist* Are Easily Made Qver for House Wear in Morning. Did you know that you could make over your old tailored shirtwaists for house wear in the morning? Cut out the ndck at the collarband' and the sleeves at the cuffs. Supply instead plain percale low collars and turnback cuffs of some contrasting color. Cut off also the skirt sections which are usually torn by pinning and supply a belt of the percale. This belt will fasten over the skirt; thus, all you will need to complete your toilet when dressing hurriedly tn the morning will be a pin to hold your coßar closed. Another madoover Is the apron which was originally a lingerie blouse. Use the front, cutting a bib of one sleeve and tie-ends of the other. The back will make the belt and face the lower edge. With a little ribbon-nm beading and a lace ruffle, here is an apron you will not be ashamed to pour tea or do embroidery in.
