But, to tell the truth. they always looked much more at- tractive when displayed in a show- case or brought out to tempt us in the shops than when we wore them ourselves. Besides. all these negliges were gulte lacking in warmth. They pre- Supposed an eternal limitless coal supply.

For it was the inventive Chi- nese who first invented padding. It ‘was a matter of economy to use two thin fabrics with an interlining of wadding. During the wool shortage in France at the time of the war the usefulness of this device became ap- parent and the French dressmakers were prompt in finding an artistic as well as economic advantage in it. Not the O1a Sort. Quite different from the padded dressing gowns that we have known for years and that have been a stand- by for us when we sought a substan- !tial Christmas present for cold-blood- ed old ladies are these new quilted gowns that are being shown by the shops to meet the demand of the women, young and old. who feel that they have found something new un- der the sun in the way pf negleges. They are wearing thém with the same readiness that-they have worn the other types of mnegliges. They slip them on for tea at home and sit about in them till time to dress for dinner, breakfast in them and some- times keep them on half the morning. | In the sketch you may sée one of | thaan dressing gowns of gray taffeta | lined with gold colored satin and qu...ed with rising suns in delicate geld thread. | Consider Your Laundry. | One way to reduce the amount of| your mending is to plan your wash clothes with special view to the| whims and caprices of your laundry machinery. It is all very well to say that laundresses and steam laundries] and hand and electric wringers ought not to snap off even an occasional button, but the fact is that they do. For this reason it is a good id have young children’s clothe: need constant washing contain limited number of well placed but- tons; very small buttons, especially if they are of the four-hole variety, seldom are pulled off. -In fact, al- ways a four-hole button stays on bet- ter than a two-hole button. Buttons are less likely to pull oft if they are re-enforced at the back. A good sort of suit for little boys in the sort that have no buttons on the trouser sec- tion. Instead, there are buttonholes which button on the underwaist, and underwaist buttons, reinforced with jafter “all tapes, are always pretty suré to stay on. ‘White material for the wash clothes of babies and very small children al- ways has this advantage, that it can be boiled or Bubjected to vigorous washing withqut injury. Many moth- ers dislike white stockings because they show the soil so much more readily than those 6f darker color or black: But at the same time white stockings may be washed very vigor- ously, and, unless htey are made of wool, they may be boiled without injury. Clothes of colors that run always are more trouble in the wash than white_clothes or clothes of fast col- ors. For naturally you do not want the colors to come off on other clothes and this sometimes means that they must be washed in a separate tub of wate: % s e O S ey Y S¢ <2 Hair Ne Absol Invisible Can be Made ui:lely HOME_ECONOMICS. BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT. Grapefruit. Grapefruit is the third acid fruit of great importance in_ the winter| In acidity it lies between the | two others, the orange and the lemon. Its peculiar flavor {s dus to a ma: trrial in it like glucoside—that Is, the peculiar sugar of the fruit. In other respects. as to amount of sugar, water and mineral salts, it is much ( the same as the orange. Its chiel value, as with the orange and lemon, is an aid to appetite and digestion. Grapefruit, to be preparcd for the table, should be cut across in half, and one-half of a large f is Buf- | ficient for one portion. With a sharp paring knife each portion of pulp; the seeds have been re- moved, should be loosed entirely from the rind and from the tough di- viding fibers, and left in its com- partment. If the rind is to be used as a cup in which to serve the fruit the tough divisions can be severed from the rind and removed Wwith the thick white core, which is cut from the end of the fruit with sharp scis- sors. The edge of the rind may be; scalloped or toothed. Honey rather than sugar should be used to sweet- en grapefruit. Grapefruit cocktails, to be served a8 a first course for luncheon, may be prepared this way in the rind or in tall glagses. Orange, pineapple, | strawberries, white grapes, or ba nanas, may be combined with it, and cider ‘or' 18mon juice added instead of wine. Grapefruit salad is whole= some ahd gelicious. The grapefruit pulp, with_white grapes, or diced celery, in French dressing, is served on lettuce. 1921) (Copyright, To Mend a Rug.

We shall be glad to have you look at our collection. The New Suits A NEW weave in the fabric world—Picotine—rivals our old friend—trico- tine—for smart town wear. Homespun and tweed will be chosen for sports, Coats of finger-tip length prevail among suits for women—the Misses’ department approves the short box coat. Sashes ornament many of the more elaborate models and self or contrasting embroidery with a thread of gold or silver is a favorite trimming. 25 ‘392 492 °592 692 to °75 The New Wraps THE loose, straight model with the set-in sleeve is slightly in the fore- ground this season—though capes and cape effects are well liked. The tuxedo collar is almost universal. The drop shoulder is a new and graceful note. The Directoire cape is borrowed from the days of 1830. Cire braid is a smart trimming—embroidery is much used. Caramel and the numer- ous new shades of brown will rival navy in popularity. 2420 53948 The New Dresses crepe, and if you can't be crepe, be taffeta, afternoon frocks—the new picotine and tricotine will be best for street wear. The straight line, short sleeve mode of French ancestry is a favorite, but definite waist-lines and bouffant skirts are noted among the taffeta frocks. Every third dress is gray—what a lovely, Springy tone it is! braid, ribbon, contrasting piping and facings are among the trimming. $19:% $24:58 52955 335 39-% to 45 The New Blouses HAT is smart for a dress is smart for a blouse—so the new blouses choose crepe de chine. As the 1921 mode calls for overblouse and tie-on models, it is, of course, the perfect fabric. For tailored wear, the fine hand-made blouses are appropriate—hand hemstitching and real lace trim them effectively. The youthful round collar is in high favor. ] $7.50 ‘10 The New Hats THE new hats turn becomingly up from the face; the crowns are high and soft, and some of them are draped. The modistes have discovered new trimming uses for ribbon and feathers and use them in preference to flowers.
