A CONSTANT companion of the
business woman Is her hand
bag. It must never be shabby
or shapeless to take away from her
smart prosperous ensemble. For
looking prosperous is one of the
chief assets of the individual who is
earning a living and always on the
qui vive for a better chance. The
. business woman knows that silk
handbags, beaded bags, velvet bags
and the like are not in keeping with
her trim tailored rig; she chooses,
rather a very smart leather hand
bags capacious enough to carry all
her belongings, yet up to the last
word in handbag notions. Here' are
two spring handbags that meet
these requirements. One is of shiny
vachette leather with frame and
piping of white and cord handles
running through white rings In the

HOME DRESSMAKER: The July
Delineator shows lust the help
you require. Piece out at the
bottom with the dark brown duve
tyn and on the little turn up which
finished the skirt band work the
same motif as you have on your
dress. Make the band of sufficient
width to meet the need you wish
for the length. The wider band will
be quite safe to use and will be et
fective.

Why not use your broadcloth for

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

other frooka. Ia the May EUfea, on)

Delineator on page 24, No. 3844.

I omitted In order the dress for
the morning. Well, the sport skirt
with the slipover sweater is in fa

dress shown in the issue last named,
page 25, numbered 3809, and the
skirt thereunder. This in the un

done in the cherry, and the hat of
this gray shade would afford you a

For the evening gown and in the

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. I am S feet 10 Inches, weigh 192
pounds, bust 44, waist 80, hips 48 inches
have brown hair and fair complexion
and am 40 years old. I need a wrap for
this season, I have a coat made of good
black eatin which does not fit any more.
The back is made of two pieces 15 Inches
wide each and 50 inches long. The plain
fronts are 22 inches wide and the same
lenth, lined to the waist with self-ma
terlal. The plain sleeves have a turn
back cuff and are slightly gathered at
the top. The collar is small and round.
Is there any way of making a suitable
wrap from this or should I combine it
with something into a dress? I thank
you for any help and remain. Sincerely
yours, R. B. M.
Mrs. R. B. 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.

I had thoueht of making it plain with
short kimono sleeves, round neck and a

would like to suggest the moaei

long blouse line alone. The gera

TODAY'S BEAUTY HELP
We find you can bring out the
beauty of your hair to its. very best
advantage by washing it with can
throx. 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.

ILWACO, Wash., June 7. Dear Ma
dam Richet: Can you give me some
Idea as to the style of suits . they will
wear this fall? Length of coat and
skirt, also materials. Inclosed is stamped
envelope for reply.
MRS. H. R. BRUMBACH.
Mrs. H. R. Brumbach The suits
for this season and the autumn will
be more tailored in type and the
heavy embroideries, in the more se
lect styles, will not be used. The
coats are a bit longer and the skirts
from six to eight inches from the
floor. The July Delineator has on
page 22 at the lower left Bide a
good example of what the suits will
be. You will' notice the plainer line
and trim.

Dear Madam Richet: Am making

should be placed. Could the sleeve be
cut so that the seam could Join the under

brought up to the proper position?
Please answer as soon as pOHSible.
Thanking you very muoh. MRS. E.
Mrs. E.: Place your sleeve at- the
