The waist as shown is youthful and well suit ed to the age of your daughter. would not wear this type of dress as a street dresB. It will be charming as an afternoon, tea, garden party. dinner or informal evening frock. Why not use your broadcloth for the skirt and the lining for the blouse, braiding same in a royal blue soutache? The vest of the batiste will be attractive in its simplicity. The suit dress I have in mind will be found in the July Delineator, page 22, at the upper right-hand corser. Treat the skirt as shown, for the long tap is fetching . and. white frame. The cither bag is of soft black suede with applique trim ming of white kid stitched in black Both bags have square frames that open widely to give access to the roomy Inside of the receptacle. one never knows, of a summer morning, whether the sun will be shining at going-home time or thunder clouds will be sweeping up from the west. So the smart rain. or-shine umbrella that meets both conditions so admirably and is also an addition to the costume is par ticularly beloved by the woman who goes to business every day. Two good-looking umbrellas of the sort are pictured. The open one Is of navy blue silk with orange and green bands, and has the new bird rnead handel. The closed model is gray with red satin stripes and has a bracelet hoop on the baccalite trimmed handle. with the braiding, has place in producing the wish to have. a definite style you DEAR MADAM RICHET I am .nkln. you for a few suggestions as how to make a spring coat or caps. I am a girl of 15 years. 6 feet 6 inohes and weigh 138 pounds; have medium brown hair and, hazel eyes. I rather like the capes but am afraid they will make me appear large. What material will be most practical, as I will wear it for good and school? Most of my dresses are pink, blue and lavender and my hat is black. Also now would you suggest a lavender organdy for me? Thanking you in ad vance, , PEX3QT. Peggy: You write regarding the spring ceat or cape and while rather late in answering, I shall hope that if too late for you, perhaps another reader may profit by your question. or the different cape there is an attractive model on page 34, No. 1861. The length, if too long, can easily be changed and the arm size closed a bit more, should you so de sire. This model, made in the trico tine, will lve splendid service and if worn with the slipover sweater will act as an autumn wrap as well. In the Butterick Quarterly for summer there is on page 12, No. 3661, a delightful model for the or gandy. Have the' motifs in the white organdy with the pecoted edge. This is girlish and sweet. PORTLAND, Or. Dear Madam Richet: I have been asked to be the gues't of quite wealthy friends during the month of July in Los Angelea We will stop at a hotel while there and will spend some of our time at the .hotels at the various resorts in southern California. Will you help me with mv wardrobe? Tell me what I need for the train, then morning, noon, afternoon, etc. Must one dress for dinner at these larre hotels? I am a widow 28 years old and this is my lirst vacation in over 10 yeara My height is 6 feet 7 inches, weight 145 pounda Dark brown hair and eyes and a medium amount of color. I expect to make most of my clothes myself with the help o a dressmaker. I have four yards of very dark brown Canton crepe which I thought combined with something else would make an aft ernoon or dinner gown. Thanking you very much In advance for any help you can give me. I am yours very truly. IRENE WHEELER. Irene Wheeler: For the train there is the tweed suit worn with the Donaree blnusen In h tailored type, also the batistes with the Peter I Pan collars. Also there is worn the one-piece dress with the cape to match, which is an economical gar ment, as the cape can be worn with other frooka. Ia the May EUfea, on) J page 21, No. 1738. is a stunning ex ample of the type just named, This In the canton crepe fwlll make a com fortable and cool outfit for this sea son of the year. The crepe de chine is always a delightful fabqfc for the afternoon and takes up so little room in the trunk or suitcase. A stunning frock is shown in the July Delineator on page 24, No. 3844. The draped skirt is new and the crepe de chine lends Itself perfectly1 to this type of line. The belt and facings can be of a contrasting shade. The 4de green, with the B j ik. tlful garment, and if you have suffl- cient color I would seriously con sider this combination. I omitted In order the dress for the morning. Well, the sport skirt with the slipover sweater is in fa vor, aljo the linen one-piece dresses or those of crash with the contrast ing sash. I particularly like the dress shown in the issue last named, page 25, numbered 3809, and the skirt thereunder. This in the un bleached crash with the handwork done in the cherry, and the hat of this gray shade would afford you a stunning morning op informal lunch eon frock. For the evening gown and in the warmer climate there is nothing as beautifully cool in appearance as silver cloth with the apple green georgette. For the canton crepe you have I wisH that you would see the model shown on page 2, No. 1622. Have the blouse collar and cuffs of the batiste in the cream shade and the border on the skirt done to the lighter tone of brown, using the sneaine. warn a hat in keeping this will serve as an afternoon, dinner and cafe frock. The larger hotels seem mucn as city and one dresses much as the spirit moves." with the selection. here given you will be well ap pareled for any and all occasions. DEAR MADAM RICHTST I have beigre colored trlcotlne cape and wonder what I can do with It to make it more up-to-date and wearable. Kindly advise me as I am at loas what to do with it. I have brown hair and eyes, medium fair skin with some color, 40 bust, 30 waist, 41 hip measure. Am 5 feet 7 Inches tall and weigh 174pounds. Am I too stout for my height? Now my other problem Is this: I nave jcreen checked gingham for a dress that 1 expect to wear afternoons at home this summer. I have shrunk the gingham (and find the colors are fast), but do not know how to make it. 1 have five yards of the gingham, 32 inches wide. I take the Pictorial Review and in the April number on page 79 there is a dress (9971) that 1 thought might be suitable. thought to trim It In bands of wnite organdy. I thought to put the long vest In ox the gingham cut on the bias, with strips of white organdy across for trimming: or do you think it best to omit the strips of organdy on veBt for trimming ana have Just the one strip across the top like picture, with long roll collar ot organdy with bias fold of gingham on outer edge? Am I too stout to wear a sash of material as Illustrated; orshall I wear a narrow black leather belt that I have? 1 am enclosing a sam pie of the gingham and please accept my sincere thanks for any help you may give me, Gratefully yours, Mils. Mrs. Quiz: Your cape Is In de cidedly. good style just as it is; in fact, two models lately seen are much- the same. I would remove the fringe, which has been rather overly done, also the buttons,, and make a new collar of either the taf feta or the canton crepe. I assure you that your cape is far too at' tractive in its present line to change. The dress you name for your ging ham is one of my favorites and will be splendid for one of your figure, which, in answer to ybur question, is a bit too much for your height. Ten pounds less would be better, but do not diet at the cost of your health, Copy the dress as shown, and may I sug&At that you use the pique rather than the' organdy? . The belt as shown is in perfectly good form for you and really in . better taste than the leather belt would be. DEAR MADAM RICHET W11 you please give me some help in altering some too small clothes? 1 have a wnite woolen skirt, four-gore full at bottom: also blouse to match made In eton ef fect, long tight sleeves. This dress is out of style and too small for me. What can I do with this? I have also a white soft satin dress, three-piece skirt, Mar quisette overskirt, out of style, but in very good condition. Should like to alter to wear for best this summer and for nftemnona st rluhs. etc.. not tan treme. I am 5" feet 2 Inches tail, weigh 150, bust and hips 40 inches, 29 years old, light brown hair, blue eyea , N. Mrs. N.: For the sample Inclosed I would have the sport skirt and would suggest that you cut the gores "in uniform- widths and have the same insets of either the plain white flannel or the jersey cloth. It will have the appearance of the two-piece skirt and with the side combination is very effective. The inset can be introduced with the deep inserted pleat, should you fancy this rather than the gathered piece, Dye the white satin you have to a becoming shade of blue and combine with the georgette. The Butterick quarterly for the summer has on page 18, No. 3406, an attractive gown which should be splendid lor the re modeling of yours. The georgette can be of the fig' ured type, as pictured. This dress is very pretty when made up. , It has style and line. INDEPENDENCE, Or. Dear Madam Richet: Tour column in The Oregonian is eagerly read by me. I come to you for help.

M.: The garment you now have will not make over into the cape with any marked success and so 1 would have the. dress, mak lng it after the general line as the one shown in the Butterinc Quarter ly, on page 23 and-No. 3639. Have the underdrop of crepe de chine, us ing your material for the panels and the blouse. The vest is finely tucked batiste. The sleeves cans be a com bination of materials and so will you have the more comfortable line. This is a splendid model for one o youe proportion and I am sure will meet yuui V idabui a. n&ve bcib of the same shade, as the contrast would "cut" height.

It makes a very simple, in expensive shampoo, which cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly of all the dandruff, dirt and excess oil, leaving a wonderfully clean, whole some feeling. After its use, you will find that the hair dries quickly and evenly, is never streaked In appear ance and is always bright, soft and fluffy; so fluffy, in fact, that it looks more abundant than it is, and so soft that arranging It becomes a pleasure. Just use a teaspoonful of oanthrox. which you can get from any good druggist, dissolve it in a cup of hot water; this makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it Is easy to apply It to all the hair instead of Just the top of the head. Adv. - 1469 Would it be pretty with a band- ' lng around the skirt like .inclosed pic-i ture done in geranium oolorea sua, or would it be prettier as pictured in the magazine? If this would not be good, could you suggest something? I am par ticularly fond or the embroidered dresses, but the embroidery design must be sim ple so I can work it myself. I am 19 years old, 6 feet 3 Inches tali and weigh 127 pounda Have dark brown hair with reddish tints, brown eyes, fair skin but no color. However, my skin is not sallow.

Thanking you, I remain MRS. D. H. W. Mrs. D. H.

In the June Designer on page 68, No. 3760, is a charming model, which if combined with the black for the edgings and girdle, would indeed be lovely. Should you use the black I would advise 'the taffeta.
