One of the most wonderful shops in the Wonderful city of New York is run by a woman ' who isekuown among her ap- preciative patrons as tie 'mir acle woman." While this won- derful shop may be described as a "headquarters for mend- fng and makeovers," such an appellation gives little hint of the unusum! character of the work which is carried on un- der the "miracle woman's" supervision. The make-over shop prob- ably sprang into existence as a result of a crying need among the hotel people of the Thirties; but its sphere of influence has expanded to comprise a region which has no definited bound- aries in this big, broad coun- try. The very hotel people whose needs gave birth to the shop have proven the most ef- ficient advertisers in heralding abroad the good news, so that it is no unusual thing for a garment to trave! hundreds %f miles to find its way to re-ju- venation in the have for make- overs. If the owner of a very atiractive evening frock, for example, finds that the gar- ment which once fitted per- fectly fails to connect by an inch or two around the waist, she immediately despatches ft to the make-over shop where ts measurements are made to assume proper proportions. Or, there may be a three-cor- nered tear in a eertain broad- cloth skirt--opart of a recently purchased suit. At the make- over shop it is speedily rostor- ed to its origipal eondition, Most marvelous transforma- tions are effected with gar- ments that have become '"old- fashioned" The narrow skirts of a season ago are made to ripple in a strictly-up-to-the- mode manner, Bodices are al- tered so as to take on the high- walsted effect now so populares Sleeves that were once tight' become loose and filmy. In the case of a blue satin evening gown, the transformation was complete, for it had been the most contracted of skirts and the most elongated of waists. When it emerged, the skirt fell in ripples with a graceful over-skirt, the edge being shaped in scallops like the lat- est imported models. The waist was principally a crush- ed girdle of satin with more net draped over the shoulders. Altogether, it bore not the slightest resemblance to its for- mer self, Even the tailor-made suit is not beyond the possibilities of the make-over shop. A blue serge suit which came in for re-juvenation had its coat cut off in front and trimmed with bands of black satin in the back, felled down with some dainty band embroidery. It was given a new rolling collar of satin and new cuffs with bright buttons running in a brand mew direction. It was no + To -morrow's HOROSCOPE By Genevieve Kemble THURSDAY, JAN. 12TH.

The genius of the make-over shop is always pertectly frank dbout the amount which it is worth while to expend upon a garment, Sometimes a faded out gown is dipped In a deep- toned dye, decked out fn new garniture of Roman plaid col- lar and cufts, and lo!, the trensformnation is complete! And ali at a very roasonable price. The unusualness of the niche that is filled by this es- tablishment may be adjudged by the fact that a frock from some fown in Iowa will find ft- self in close proximity to one from South Carolina, or that a bedraggled dancing costume from Harlem finds a place alongside a motoring outfit from Maine, Schoolgirls' clothes that everlastingly need letting down or grown-ups' clothes that are almost as of- ten In dire need of other kinds of etpausion, all find refuge Ja the make-over shop. A continuous procession of college boys deposit bundles of Socks to be darned, often with toes out or heels oiit or with ghastly rips--even in the very best silk ones! Shirts that have given Way under the arm Or up close to the collar often keep company with the socks. Mending lace is another specialty of the make-over shop. Sometimes there is a 'break in the lace where the rose-petal joins the stem or where a spray finds its furth- est point of convergence, but no problem of this sort pres- ents intricacies which are be- yond the resources of this par- ticular mending bureau, The probabilities are that they would be making lace if Here were not so many socks and shirts to be darned. The make-over shop 1s not given over to remodelling. It also creates. There are some exquisite hand-made waists, a few dainty frocks, lingerie and various other articles which make their individual appeal to the well-dressed woman, Or-( ders are taken for costumes which must be designed to fit some particular need or ocea- sion. For instande, 1t may happen'that a bride-to-be sends in an order for a motoring out- fit which shall be essentially practical and at thé same time dressy enough for stop-overs, The result as turned out by the genius of the make-over shop will probably be a soft, dark blue silk with plaid girdle and cuffs that button back, or a pongee that is at once service- able and distinctive, Altogeth- er this unique establishment is the last word im sartorial thrift and elegance and the only won- der of it is that enterpPising business women of other cities have not, in a greater number of instances, adapted the idea which has been worked out to such a degree of perfection by the "miracle-woman" of the make-over shop. will give wolnien 3 a and in some instances the seeming friends.

A. Volume's Splendid Address, | { | ---- Mrs: (Dr.) D. A. Volume gave the members of the Canadffn- Girls in Training, of the three Methodist churches of the city, a heart-to-heart talk on "The Psychology of Clothes," at a meeting held in Sydenham street lecturo hall on Tuesday evening, This work among the "teen age" sirls of the Protestant Sunday schools of Kingston which is'a new venture, is proving very successful as was shown by the attendance at this\meeting, The talk, which was very timely, was listened to with great interest by the girls. Mrs. Volume began her re- marks by comparing the dress of to- dey with that of thirty years ago. When speaking about the' styles which are the vogue at the present time. she contended that they are not {any more extreme than they were [ thirty years ago. During the period {of the war, the women and girls were called upon to do men's work in of- fices and munition factories, and this {required them to wear skirts which | were shorter than those they had previously worn. They were found yo be so much more convenient and {comfortable that they were not anx- {ious to go back to the former styles. jor course, Mrs. Volume deplored tho extreme fashions displayed by many people to day and urged the girls not to adopt them, The speaker said that girls could jnot be blamed for wanting to dress as attractively as possible and in the prevailing style, and that they were obeying a natural instinct in dress- ing to attract men; and that if some girls had to choose between porridge and silk stockings, they would likely choose the silk stockings. Mrs. Volume tried to make the girls realize that while it was natural and right for them to dress themsel- ves as attractively as possible, it was not right for them to do the seek- ling and pursuing when it came to the matter of male companions. Sho advised them to not always choose the one who could give them the | most 'boxes of candy, if he was try- ling to put himself through college, that the ones worthi while are those who are educating to improve them- selves for the future, and they could do more for them in the years to come. In closing Mrs. Volume urged the girls to keep their sense of wval- nese, and if they had the Heavenly Father for their friend, they would have no difficulty in doing this, Miss Grace Horsfall, president of the Sydenham C. G. I. T. department presided. The programme also con- sisted of two numbers in the form of charades--one presented by the Prin- cess Street group and the other by the Sydenham Street girls. Miss Dora Amey delighted the gathering with a solo.
