HELP OUT THE WARDROBE

Matching Sets of Separate Gulmps and Undersleeves Will Be Found Useful Accessories.

Separate gulmpes and undersleeves made up in matching sets, are great additions to a limited wardrobe, for almost all summer gowns and bodices are made for these. A cheap fillet lace In a rich cream, covered with black or white chiffon, is one good choice for these useful accessories. Have the neck collarless, and with either black or white use a bias of black satin for edgeß. Another set would be pretty in tucked white brussels net, and another set would be exquisite if made of cream batiste embroidered with white.

Black and white striped calico makes the smartest and cleanest of practical petticoats. Get a good model, shape the skirt closely at the hips and trim it with a six-inch bias flounce, put on scantly. It must be laundered without starch.

Gauze lisle stockings are the best substitute that can be had for silk stockings. They are cool, elegant and cheap—three pairs for a dollar. Changing the buttons of a readymade coat Buit sometimes alters its character entirely. Crlcheted buttons are much in favor, and they are large and round. There is nothing easier than to chochet covers for the wooden molds, or a cheap Imitation Irish lace can be bought and put on. The molds must always be covered first with a thin silk.
