THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO D. C., AUGUST 16, 1925—PART 5. Juality, Not Quantity, Marks the Foundation for Smart Dressing BY MARY MARSHALI IECES of lingerie singly nowadays, who can afford to spend lav ishly on their underthings often arrange to have entire sets, including corsets or corsetlets, made to match. It is an extension of the ensemble idea applied to under-, wear. Just how extensive you wish to make your lingerfe set, however, de- pends much on whether you cling to old-time Ideas on the subject or whether vou share the ideas of the very you en who pleces of underclot superfluous. Every daughter doesn’t wear s her frock as mothe there is nothing very novel or very shocking about that. But from the point of view of the folk whose busi- ness it is to make feminine under things, the important thing to know is just what (wo garments are worn. This tendency toward less and lighter underwear can hardly be looked upc as a calamity by them, for in demanding less quantitatively women are asking much more qualita- tively.

But there are man brides who depart from the all-white | tradition. Beneath their wedding Ifrock as pure white as fresh snow, they wear georgette lingerie of tur- quoise blue or nile green or even of Juliet red. Quite the gayest and most pictur- esque of lingerfe is that made from printed georgette, showing rose and green and violet, blue, yellow and the whole rainbow all assembled in one diminutive garment. Though the existence of a waist line may still be disputed as far as the dressmakers are concerned, and fashion designers may be unable to convince women that it (s time to give up the straight, curveless contour that we have cherished for so many seasons, there seems to be no doubt of the change of contour in the realm of underwear.

You may wear corsets, no corsets or one of a dozen different corset substitutes; you may wear garments that take the place of corset and everything else in one; you may wear bloomers, step- ins, drawers or combinations. You may wear a light bandeau by way of bodice, or you may even wear one of the little garments recently intro- duced by one of the lingerie designers that remind one very definitely of the peplumed corset-covers that ladies wore 30 years ago. And it is quite absurd to lay down any rules in the matter or to expect voted to a smooth Jit of the garment This type of slip of course has draw- backs to the woman who likes to buy all her things ready-made and to pop into them without a stitch of al- teration. But the new frocks, though not usually showing much of any feel- ing for a waistline themselves, do re- quire a more carefully fitted founda- tion than did frocks a year or so ago.

It is exceptionally use- ful in the house and also could be used out on the lawn for picking up weeds and dandelions that have been dug out of the sod.” Philip is a good detail draftsman.

If tered in a 50-vard dash, for instance, training should begin about a month in advance, and for the first week should consist of daily swims of about 200 yards. Take these swims easily and try to perfect form. Emphatical- ly, do not try to swim fast Top off your swim with practicing the take-off. For a sprint the entrants line up on a platform that rises from 1 to 2 feet above the water. Plant the feet firmly, slightly apart on the edge of the board that the toes overlap.
