Christian, Jr., secretary to the late President Hard- ing, who submitted his resignation last week, will remain as presidential secretary The appointment of Mr. Slemp, who has been prominent in Republican politics for a number of years, came as a surprise inasmuch as his name has not been inclfided among thos mentioned in connection with the retaryship. Among these were Ed- ward T. Clark, secretary to Mr. Coolidge as vice-president, who it was announced, will serve as the pre: dent's personal secretary. Mr. Slemp formerly was Republican national committeeman from Virginia and since 1905 had been chy n of the Virginia Republican state com ‘mittea.

Don't you wear no chemiseskirt? Don't you wear no pettl-skirt? Ain't. you cold? on Women wear fewer undergarmenzs today than ever before and the only reason that the manufarturers of un- dergarments bave not gone out of business is because ‘quality rather than quantity’ {# their slogan. Tae Uttle depattment store girl today wears better underwear than Queen Eliabeth wore, garntents of the soft- est silks, which were unheard of by the ladies of Elizabeth's day. ‘True, the undergarments of the de- partment store girl are not many, but the whole idea for underapparel seems to be to wear as little ble and have that little as beautiful as possible. Present day fashion calla for scant underclothing hence the exit of the heavy corset, the old fashioned petticoat and the nainsook chemisy. ‘The little Mies of totay wears a lit- tle silk vest a brassiere and step-in combination, round garters and ao frock and Voila! she is ready for the street. ‘The brasstere and step-in combtna- ton that has recently been introduced is becoming extremely popular with the girl of today, ns ft does away with the necessity of a corset cover and {ts additional wulst band and at the |same time offers a golution for hold ing the brassiere at a waistline in- stead of letting it bind in under the bust. A brassiere that doesn’t extend, to the waist is bound to be uncomfort- 4 0. The braastere portion of such a com- bination ts darted in to fit the figure can be brought about many prosects will be abandoned entirely by settlers.

Heavy radium silk is ideal for a garment of this sort though almost any fabric may be used. During the warm summer months women perfer to wear only the undergarments that are absolutely necessary and since the brassiere and the step-Ins are the two most essential garments, the com- dination of the two is particularly at- trective. Fifteen years ago almost every wo man looked plump. Today the svelte figure is almost untversal. The change can not be entirely attributed to diet and exercise. Scant underwear has ac- complished a great deal toward the seeming change in the size of women. Anyone would look plump in a starched petticcat trimmed with ruf- fles and tucks, 1 a Song abaggae Even the corset has a tendenoy to give one pronounced and mature lines. A slender girl looks more slender with- out @ corset than with one. Just as long as it remains fashionable to be “lank and lean," women will inaist upon as little underwear as is abso. utely necessary. \Outstanding Votes In 'Arkeon Contest Must Be In Tonight There are only a few more days left of the beauty contest being held at the Arkeon Dancing academy apd all outstanding votes must be in the ballot boxes tonight, according to an announcement by T.
