NEWS FOR

Balance Your

Cheques

ERE'S a marvellous idea for brightening up warmer and

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 hat of the Name material would put just that finishing touch. Those tweed slouch semi-sports hats 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 tartan 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

And how much material is needed for it, in order not to buy too short a length.

LOOK ut

the smali 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 plaid material for a contrast and see the difference it makes!

Why not lino. 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 scarf of the same tartan. A wide belt to match would 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 collar effect is another very satisfac- 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-

ials 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 ettoman silks are made in the mant delightful plain colours,

You will notice, too, that the addition of a contrasting coloured scarf is suggested for the cool of the evening.
