WASTE OF MUCH TIME AND MONEY WHEN POOR DRESS MATERIAL IS REMODELED

It Is a Waste of Time and Good Dye to Attempt to Color Some Garments.

(Prepared by the United States Departmerit of Agriculture.> “It’s nft very well,” said Mrs. Connor. “to talk about making over clothes, but I haven’t fount) that it pays nt all.” As Mrs. Stanton leaned forward to answer, the other women of the dub leaned ing chairs to enjoy more fully this discussion of clothes, the subject so dear to every feminine heart. “You and I surely have had different results, then. Everything I am wearing today has been made over, or •t least changed in some way from its original style, and I am sure this suit and blouse are wearing as well as any I might have bought this spring,” Mrs. Stanton answered. “Whiif makes the difference’ Your clothes look wonderfully well and those which I have remodeled have that rather forlorn, made-over look at first, and show worn places and holes-be-fore I have worn them more than a month or so." - > Good Workmanship Counts. “Perhaps it is because, while I buy fewer clothes than you, I get better material in the first place and always take better care of them than- ymx do- - Toll know you lirb aTw l ay'S"llHJkllig fol bargains and argue that birytrtg cheap things does away with the necessity """"Sf ' brushing. cleaning regularly, and hanging up your clothes carefully, as I do mine.

I wore this one quite steadily for two years and then remade it this spring. It can easily be worn another year.- In the meantime. I have enjoyed wearing the suit because I have always felt well-dressed and comfortable when I had it~on. The happy combine tioh of good material and good workmanshifFshowed”in it and I have been contented t<? get along without some other clothes I might otherwise have been inveigled into buying." “Well, perhaps that is true of your i suit, but I doubt whether you have better material in that blouse you have _.x»n = than,there ycas_Jp_-JXie-tempted to i.ye.

GROWING DEMAND FOR COTTAGE CHEESE

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Much cottage cheese 'was eaten last year, because it saved meat. The campaign to increase its use was carried on in every state. This year, because they have learned to like this dairy product, people want to know more of the manufacture and use of cottage cheese. State-wide work for this purpose is being carried on again in lowa, Michigan, Kansas, and Utah! In these states the home manufacture of cottage cheese and butter, when conditions warrant, will be encouraged bjr

was not in the least shabby, so I thought I'd color it. As soon as I put it in water, all the different colors used in the embroidery started running and the result is a smeared rainbow effect. Startling Colors Under Suspicion. “That brings up a point I intended to mention. We, with limited clothes allowances, can’t afford to buy clothes that are in good style, perhaps, but extreme. Startling colors and extreme fashions are not allowed In tuy wardrobe, for they tire always expensive and seldom remain in good taste for any length of dime—“ln the library the other day, I found a leaflet I'm sure you would like,” she added, turning to the group as a whole, “for every word in it is valuable. One thing, I remember, was to remodel only when the material has enough wear in it to warrant the necessary work and cost of new material. The librarian told me we could get copies from the home demonstration agent. I would suggest that we get copies for discussion at spme future meeting and have the demonstrator talk to us about it.” ’ These women are not more interested in clot hes and how to get value reeeived from Jhem_ than thousands of others are. All will want the leaflet, “Wise Spending Saves Clothing for the Family.” together with the other thrift leaflets which the United States department of agriculture will send free on request. They will help you solve many questions.

SWEATER MUCH IN FAVOR

Garment Is Delightful Part of Summer Wardrobe. No Other Piece Can Be So Easily Put on and Adjusted to Bo* •»=• ———— comingness. fashiom That we all know. Yet every woman has a sweater io her wardrobe, and most women have several sweaters. Wa hav<* been told, notes a fashion writer, that sweaters now are worn for warmth. A couple of seasons ago they were worn beenuse they were in vogue. To be sure, sweaters are worn for warmth now — partly?” But they are also worn because they are a delightful part of the summer wardrobe. In no other vriiy7can~a bright dash pf color be no

effectively .procured and no other garment can be so easily put on and adjusted to becomingness. Therefore it is the day of the sweater, even though to a more limited extent than was the case a year or so ago. one reason, of course, why women have, some of them, more sweaters this year than they had- last ls_ because they have time this summer for knUTlhg. "They were~too busy making Red Cross sweaters and socks and helmets last summer to find time and needles for sweaters for themselves. Now Red Cross knitting, excepting for the refugee garments, is not needed. And therefore women are knitting for themselves. Really good hand-knit sweaters of wool are very expensive when bought ready made. Wool is still high. Labor is high. The same condition holds good of silk sweaters. They also are expensive. So if you can make your own sweater you can save a great deal on that garment, for you give your labor to yourself and have only the cost of the wool to consider. One of the new sweaters is that made of the finest sort of Shetland

floss, knitted singly into a coat sweater, with long sleeves and a sash. The sash is sometimes quite wide and ties ; in a loose knot at one side or at the ' back. These sweaters are knitted on coarse needles and look especially I well over the all-white frock. < Another one of the season’s new dfkferings is the tremendously popular i filet sweater. It is crocheted instead I of knitted, but it is a sweater just the same.

YOUR SUMMER DANCE FROCK

Rainbow Gown Is Entitled to Claim Honorable Mention Among Things Beautiful. The summer dance frock is always a problem. It has to endure more beauty-sapping wear and should cost. -R-gpoet less than the winter evening gown. Then it must be lovely to the eye and yet lack heavy trimming. here is a suggestion for you if you are trying to solve this problem yourself. It is as charming a bit of apparel as you ever saw and yqu can make it yourself. The charm of it is its colorfulness and its originality. The skirt is made by joining bands of chiffon about five inches wide. Starting at the hem is a pink, then ~wmes a band of faintest Nile green, and then comes a lovely pale blue. Then the cycle begins all over again with the pink and continues until the skirt is built up to the waistline. You will wonder how these are fastened together so that it does not look like a patchwork quilt. Well, they are Cagotted together. The waist is per-

SILK NAVY, WHITE FOULARD

fectly plain, coming down rather low over the shoulders and has puffed sieves that end considerably above the elbow. There is a triple sash to go with the triple scheme of the whole dress. Narrow two-toned ribbon 11 Hißd. Pink, green and blue narrow ribbons —all with silver backs —go about the waist and end on the side in very long loops and ends. They are finished at the waistline with small pink satin roses. This rainbow dance frock is fully entitled to claim honorable mention among things beautiful in every line. No dress you could plan would be in price and offer such t> charming result. Then just think of the distlnctiofi 6f luting a whole handmade dress!

PUT ONE AROUND YOUR HAT

r.ninrful Hatband Has Power to ReJuvenate Old Headflear Into Unbelievable Newness. There is a perfect magic to the colorful hatbiand. It has power to make a stupid hat positively dashing. It can -rejuvenate an old hat into unbelievable newness. Just about this time the sport hat that has been on the go since* early spring, begins to show it. Try a bright bit of banding on the weary headpiece and see if it doesn't take a new interest in life. - Nor need the band Be an elaboate thing or difficult to make. It might go like this: Two-inch unflgured ribbon of taffeta or satin, grosgrain or velvet, with two rows of stitched squares arranged alternately, checkerboard effect, and worked up with silk or cotton or wool, whichever contrasts most effectively with your ribbon. Divide the ribbon band in half on the length with a faint penciling. Then mark it off with two-inch spaces. Now “fill” alternate spaces with over-and-over stitching. If you haven’t any particular color scheme in mind, what do you think about this ultramodlsh one: Tea rose or jade? Or you knight like to keep to the checkerboard suggestion aSd try black on red squares. It would be ever so fetching on a black hat.

FADS AND FANCIES

A hat made entirely of organdie will complete the summer outfit. ' A frock of white organdie is trimmed with red and blue braid. A smart little dress of ivory tussor strongly suggests panniers. For gardening is a dress of gay striped chintz and white organdie. Embroidery, filet lace and crossstitching are used in frocks of Hhen. Satin and crepe de chine in brown shades are a fashionable combination. The new three-buckle oxford is smart. Flame-colored tulle is much in evidence. Organdie frocks in two tones are fashionable. • . Black chantilly is among the old laces revived. Geranium-colored box coats are worn effectively with white costumes. A tan silk directoire frock is worn over a foundation of black satin. A favorite waistline trimming on a child’s dress is a row of big buttons.

A SUMMER COLD

A cold in the summer time, as everybody knows, is the hardest kind of • cold to get rid of. The best and quickest way is to go to bed and stay there if you can, with a bottle of “Boschee’s ‘ Syrup” handy to insure a good night’s rest, free from coughing, with easy ex- j perforation in the morning.
