LENGTHENING OLD FROCKS
When a garment merely needs alteration to make it usable again, the m frequent problem to-day is that of acting length. Here are a few suggestions: For a frock, if tho figure is a slim, straight one, make a uew contrasting yoke and top half of sleeves, and drop the dress on this a few inches; or add a contrasting hem, with matching collar and belt to " tie up " tho renovation; or convert tho dress into a pinafore to * I'Rear over blouses, using tho sleeves to V cut a hip yoke on which tho skirt can . fce lowered. A coat is more difficult. 'Jsually the best solution is a half to three-quarters of a yard of fur fabric, rom which a deep hem, vandyked along its top edge, and a new collar tfnay be .cut.
