WOMAN’S PAGE. Making Dresses Look Up to Date BY MARY MARSHALL. ‘When sleeves grow smaller, skirts shorter or necklines lower it is a fairly simple matter to make last season’s dresses 160k up to date. All one needs is & pair of scissors, needle and thread and a little ingenuity. When the process is reversed and dresses grow fuller or longer the problem fs not so éasy. One must have additiorial material as well and it is quite a serious problem to make use of the additional material in such a way that the result does not announce boldly that the dress in question has beén méde over. Some women who make their own clothes always save a little of the origi- BLACK TULLE GIVES LENGTH TO ‘THIS DI OF BLACK AND WHITE N- nal material—to piéce with in dresses are longer or fuller season —but there is always the ity that the fresh material will Iook BFighter or crisper or smoothér than theé mateérial which has been used.

SUB ROSA BY MIML Cupid as Decorator. Love and beauty go hand in hand like Jack and Jill who went up the hill. Venus just sits pretty whue Cupid wields the bow of love with its sweetly painful darts. Love is near-sighted as to ugliness, far-sighted when it comes to beauty. That's how Cupid gets in his fine work of decoration. ‘When lwe takes a hand in one's life it goes work to decorate the per- sonality o! the beloved object according to one’s own fancy. phe apher who cold lens of his camera segs, but a romantic artist who puts on the canvas what he desires to behold. A girl who cares for a man dec- orates his personality the sameé way she adorns him with a necktie at Christmas or on his birthday. He must appear the way she would have him look and so she decorates him accord- ing to her own fancy. Then shé loves the men she has fashioned. is at all ilitempered she can see his sullen fits as so much artistic temperament. If he is sloppy in his appearance she makes herself believe he's a real he-man and no cake- eater. She’s bound to win in the merry game of decoration. She has the medal ready before the race has n.

But by watching and insisting on it Joan was saved from the chnxpped and reéddened upper lip, the unpleasantly chapped and runfiing nose that is seen on so many small children. Young as she was, Joan knew that such disagreeable things did not need to happen to small boys and girls. Joan was fussy about her hands, too. She saw that Aunt Nancy rubbed her hands with some sort of lotion after she had washed them. She asked her aunt for some of that “sweet smelling something” in the bottle. Aunt Nancy bought Joan an inexpensive, but at- tractively decorated small bottle and put hand lotion in it for her. And Joan used it, too. Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. Evening Refreshments.
