I come out, and at the same time she has tired of clothes she's been wear- i ing since last fall. The answer to this problem Is ; some simple restyling on clothes ’ of which you have tired. Restyling does not involve any such extensive job as remaking a dress or hat completely. It simply means that you add some new touches to the 1 clothing that you have to wear for a few months longer. A new set of collars and tuffs, a ' b it of hem interest, a new set of buttons, a fresh yoke or plastron on a dress are refreshing and w ill add ; new life and interest to many gar- I ments. Or, change the cuffs on a pair of 1 fabric gloves by adding a dash of color. For a piece of fine veiling on ! a hat, substitute a piece of coarsely j textured m aterial and see how de- i lighted you w ill be. Dramatic buttons on a weary suit guarantee new interest. Some clip- on jewelry for your hand bag makes I it almost new! These are all simple restyling tricks, but they w ill lift any wardrobe out of the doldrums I until you can don lighter, gayer I things of the new season.

Buy or Make Your Patterns Yokes, plastrons, collars and cuffs as well as puffy peplums which are new being used may be cut from tissue paper at home, or purchased if you don't feel clever about designing them. Check your own sources of m ater ials before purchasing any. A bit of precious lace from an old dress or trim m ing may give you a new GIVE NSULATED Fashion interest centers on the softly shirred empire waistline and the matching three-quarter sleeves in this wool crepe dress designed by Sara Simon. Other good points include the standing up collar, the deep V - neckline and the corded self belt. line to a dress. Make a belt of the same m aterial to hold the dress to gether. Hem interest is s till high, and a ruffled or gathered hem may be added to a full, flaring skirt, or a softly gathered one. I f you are work ing with the skirt alone, and adding restyling in the form of a new hem to it, carry out the same m otif in the pockets, too. If you’ re adding the hem to a dress, it’s wise to make a collar and cuffs of the same m aterial as the hem. This forestalls an appear ance of face-lifting, and makes the garment look as though just pur chased. In cases where you have gained or lost weight during the season, the restyling w ill consist of letting out or taking in a garment. The latter is an easy matter; the former slight ly more d ifficult since m aterial may have to be added. For the too tight basic dress, add | an inverted panel of trim m ing and use the same trim on the cuffs. For dresses that have become shorter because you’ve gained weight, a new hem plus collar and cuffs may be added. In Josephine County During January ZELLS INC.

Besides that, a fresh new belt or a reconditioned one w ill do more for both waistline and dress. Clasps, zippers and trim m ings on purses can be changed either by yourself or a repair shop. If a fav orite hand-bag has a worn lining, it ’s easy enough to mend it or buy a new piece of fabric to make a I fresh one. This adds greatly to the life ot the purse. Suede and leather cleaners may be used on gloves to good advantage. A stiff-bristled brush used on a suede bag w ill bring new life to it. Try a brisk brushing, too on a felt or suede hat and see how well the nap comes up in it. Many hats need nothing more to restore them than thorough brushing which will rid them of several month's accum ulation of dust that dulls their color. For hats which have been caught too frequently in rain and snow, do or have done, a re-blocking job. With a change of veiling in addition to this, hats w ill become practically new.
