There are a good many modernizing touches which any home seamstress could give to last year's linen suit, and if you want to go to the expensc of having a tailor remodel it he can do so in a way that will make it look like new. This year, lke every year, shows plenty of straight tailored coats, slight ly double breasted, with regulation coat sleeves and notched collars. They | are little different from the plain tailor ed coat of last year, excepting the: bulge a little more perhaps about the walst. But the more elaborate coats are, most of them, single breasted, and any tailor could make a single breasted coat of a double breasted one by cut A | ting away the old coat and inserting a | figured silk, crepon or cretonne waist | coat or one of contrasting material in | plain color, These little walstcoats, reaching a Httle below the waist and ending in points or belted into a belt of the same material, which hooks or buttons loose ly, are seen in many of the new coats They are stitched at the edges to make them flat and to help them keep their shape, and they are generously deco rated with tiny pearl buttons or with soutaching in silk braid. Another modernizing touch is the binding of silk braid Many an old coat really looks well excepting that It has sagged a little about the bottom and the edges look worn or shiny fron laundering. Many of the new coats ar bound about the edge with braid which also binds the collars and cuffs and which is stitched down one or two seams of the skirts. The old coat could be trimmed where it has sagged so that it is even agaln and then bound with braid, either black or of a darker shade of the color of the sult. The braid binding, of course, makes | washing of the linen suit difficult Dry cleaning can be as easily applied to the braid as to the linen. A black satin collar, another popular feature of many of the season's sults, with cuffs to match, helps to make it unnecessary to wash it, and, for that matter, so does the braid binding, for it Is always the collars and cuffs and the edges of the coat which first show soil, HOW TO ARRANGE A BUT- TERFLY PARTY. of the ntry places are looking est, why not have the children's party out of Instead of boisterous games a butterfly hunt would be ant formu of entertainn Butterflies of all colors may be made of paper and Pidden in the shrubbery, !

How to Refinish Old Surfaces. The first thing to do in refinishing old wood surfaces 18 to remove all var- nish and paint. This may be done easily by the use of a good varnish re mover. The varnish remover may be bought at any paint store, says the Woman's World. It is gpplied with a brush and allowed to stand for a few minutes; then varnish and paint are easlly removed. If there are any burnt or stained places It may be necessary to scrape the surface with a plece of glass. Then the surface is thoroughly smoothed with sandpaper and Is ready for a new paint or varnish, If it 1s de sirable to keep the color and grain of the wood a clear varnish may be used which contains the desir ed color. as they are is a frolic for! ; out first In the competition for a confident young | | manner was leaves and | The Makings of a Diplomat, A Labouchere anecdote is giveu In the volume of recollections by Slr Henry Lucy (Toby, M. it was told by Labby himself.

He knew nothing of the special sub- Jects upon which the preliminary ex- amination was based, but there was at least the promise of a lark. As far as he could make out, he did not supply a single correct answer to the long list of questions. Nevertheless he came surprise even lordling.
