Balance Your Cheques
ERE'S a marvellous idea for brightening up warmer and not quite new clothes at really a trifling cost.
A waistcoat which you can easily make at home in a cheerful check tweed like the large illustration will give just that chic to a fairly well- worn but favourite tweed or woollen suit.
Wear it for golf at Fanling or on one of those cooler wet days we will be having next month. It's also handy for changeable September days. You can discard. the waistcoat if it gets too warm.
THE addition of a sports -
same
hat of the material' would put just that finishing touch. Those tweed slouch semi-sports hals are not
half so hard to make as they
look. You should try. They
will stay on the head quite as
well as the perpetual beret, and are a welcome change,
If you go sale shopping you will see numerous lengths of check and tarian materials, and there are simply heaps of ways in which to use them.
The most important thing is to know what you want to make

sketches for other
ideas for renovating or bright- ening up clothes which are not new with a remnant from the sales.
That dark wool frock, for in- stance, of which you have be- come rather tired, but which is too good to throw away. What can be done with that?
With a new checked yoke fastened with two big wooden buttons, and with two patch pockets of the same check, it
can be so transformed that no one will know
it for the same dress.
Cover the revers of your black or dark blue suit with a neat little check or shepherd's the plaid material for a contrast and difference it makes!

Why not line a swagger coat with a lovely, colourful tartan of the Scottish persuasion? Choose a rather thin material for this pur- pose. To link it up with the dress, wear a A. wide belt to match would scarf of the same tartan. be easy enough to make.
A REVERSIBLE cape is a useful possession. Make yourself a full short cape of some dark woollen fabric and line it with check in such a way that -it is reversible and you have two capes in one each
equally smart.
The Cross-over rollar effect is another very satisfne- tory arrangement to an otherwise dull suit or tailored dress. The collar crosses over and buttons to the belt, so that it can be interchanged from dress to dress.
BUT if you do not care for tartans or checks there are many other fancy woollen mater-
inls in the shops. Some of these are of one colour but have indistinct designs to enliven them.
There are woollens so fine that they are almost transparent. Many of these have dice or spot patterns woven into the back- ground.
If something extremely light but absolutely free from bulki- ness is desired then the genuine or mock angoras are splendid. These are ideal fabrics for a lining for swagger coat or cape for between-season wear.
-
During the summer sales the silk departments are dull of bargain lengths. So if wool, however gossamer in weight, is too warm for your purpose look round for substantial silks for reno- vations instead.
Many of the heavy-weight ottoman silks are made in the most delightful plain colours.

Here, inspired by Wimbledon, are the very latest in tennis puthis slick, neat, simple, and weighing one or two ounces. A frock if you are of medium tall, shorts if you are figure, and if you are a clever needle-34 woman with some flair for tailoring you can easily turn out one of these outfits yourself for a few dollars.
But the whole effect will be apolled if you do not cut your material in the necessary amart dashing Hines,
THIS FREEDOM Clear-cut simplicity is the striking feature of these outfits. Note the severe eut of the lapels on the frock, the razor edge, and the box pleats, But despite the carefully tailored style, theso Dubdits ailow more freedom for quick movement than aver before.
You can wear the skirt with the shorts if you prefer it or just the shorts alone.
For your rest periods off the court get a soft white flannel coat as shown kere
You will notice, too, that the addition of a contrasting coloured scarf is suggested for the cool of the evening.
And after the game don't forget the iron. It can work wonders with
a crumpled outЛlt.
Knit yourself a little jacket, get a scarf and boret in a matching shade, and you will be the most attractive player in your club.
