Power, retires men deal and heard many a story. Most of us do; but Charlie never forgot one. As a result, he is one of the hest con- versationalists I have ever met. Get him started and he can go on and on, from one story to another. He specializes in stories that are true; and more often not true; they have happened to him, personally. For example, he likes to tell about between the ages of 46 and 50 "with pensions + approximately $6,000 to $7,000 a year at a time when these men have an opportunity of a very fruitful career before them."

The solution? Quick make-over tricks. Listed below are a number of useful hints for re-making discarded clothing, either for yourself or your children, as recommended by local sew- ing center experts. A dated dress may have its collar removed to allow for the insertion of ascot scarf, bib or dickey. When sew- ing the latter, choose from the gay polka-dotted or floral prints now on the fashion scene, Of course, crisp white linen or pique will always prove a suitable tonie for an old black wool or navy frock. Three-quarter coats are high-style this season. If you are tall and slen- der enough to wear one, cut an old straight coat down to three-quarter length, reline it with a bright silk and make a fashionable length sheath to match the lining. You might try a plaid lining and a matching plaid skirt if your cont is a casual one. New hems can be run up in a jiffy with your sewing machine's blind stitch at- tachgént Some dresses can be successfully made into jumpers by simply remov- ing the sleeves--an especially good idea for dresses that are damaged under the arm When attempting to vestyle gar- ments, it is always desirable to find a pattern with lines similar to those of the dress you want remodelled. When altering a skirt length, it is wise to re-measure the hem. Also re- member to stand in a natural, erect position, and wear the shoes you are likely to with that particular garment. The top of an old taffeta evening gown can be turned into erisp collars or scarves, and the skirt cut down into a wide-skirted petticoat to be worn under a bouffant summer skirt. If last year's peasant skirt is sud- denly too-small around the waist, you might make it into two gay aprons. "Just remove the waist band and zip- "per, cut aprons to desired size and shape, add ties, and brighten with bias binding or rickrack.
