REFURBISHING FOR SPRING
A USEFUL art is to be able to refurbish a last yeai"s garment and make it ready for the warm days that are approaching. We have chosen to-day a plain dark silk frock with short sleeves on it. About it are several sets of accessories. The sketch shows a girl at the left holding a bunch of fragrant hyacinths and she wears a jabot and collar of the popular combination of ruffled organdie and ring lace. At the top left corner is a narrow collar and bow o£ eyeletcd white linen edged with a border of larger eyelets. 'It fastens at the back of the neck. Next is a neat little collar and belt of the finest macrame braid in natural, scarlet and almond green which would make any tired frock look like new in a jiffy. White organdie muslin and fine rmgs make the lovely white veston on the right. Tiny glass buttons hold the gathered rings in place down the front, and glass buttons fasten the bow ends to the organdie at the neck. An immaculate white bow of fine crochet . rings is already supplied with a pin to fasten to a black or navy frock. 1 Colour in the forni of cleverly inserled red wooden' beads is introduced into liie nalural niacrame belt and collar whioli is finished with tvvo lULle headeil hohhles.
