Maize, Tea Rose, and Yellows With Rose Tinge May Be Chosen—White Will Continue in Favor and be Consiflered Important for Fall and Winter. BY MARY MARSHALL. ©O far as heat and cold are con- cerned, lingerie makers nowada: know no seasons. Autumn, Win- ter and Spring are all Summer- time 80 far as questions of weight : warmth-giving qualities of their cts are concerned, and it is all One-piece evening combination of fgured batiste with lace brassiere top; step-ins of silk ninon and lace. light and flmy and diaphancus enough for the tropics. ‘The modern woman has adopted the Chinese custom—without, of course, knowing it is Chinese—of adding extra warmth from without. The Chinese have always been like that. ‘weather is four-coat cold weather, five- ooat cold weather, six-coat cold weather. 80 I have been told. -And warm weather 8 one-coat weather. We carry out the same idea when ‘We adapt ourselves to cooler weather by wearing warmer coats, a topcoat over our suit, a fur coat instead of a cloth coat, extra sweaters for Winter sports— always retaining light, dainty, Summery things next to our skins. We do not vesort to long-sleeved flannels and worse ad a protection against the cold, which was the customary procedure of our forbears. Very cold OOKING forward to Autumn and ‘Winter, lingerie makers make no allowance for cooler weather, and the dainty things you make or buy now will be as appropriate four or five months from now 8 they are at present. For this reason women take time in August to make or collect their lin- gerie for the coming season. So far as colors and tones are con- cerned, certain seasonal changes do exist, and one cannot but observe these in looking over any of the advanced collections of new lingerie. Pale blues and green, supposedly cooler- colors, have been favored for Summer. There are the charming greenish-blue tones, such as robin's egg, aquamarine and turquoise, with the grayer tones of powder and French blue so generally flattaring to sun-burned skins. Such shades’ will continue in favor for six or seven weeks, but the shops are already showing the newer shades chosen for Autumn. Among these maize |and tea rose and yellows with a rose tinge are pre-eminent. There are clear sunshine yellows and a yellow With a greenish cast known as banana heart yellow. If you are looking forward to wearing the new brown for Autumn— and brown will unquestionably be de- cidedly smart this Autumn-—you may favor new lingerie of the rose beige, rosewood, or ashes of roses, shades that harmonize so well with the new brown tones. * ok % YOU may evade the whole question by choosing white, which has been decidedly smart this Summer and gives promise of being just as important for Autumn and Winter lingerie. considerable will power to cl white lingerie when one is tempted with an array of these ne rosy yellow tones, but sll-white lingerie has unquestioned smartness that appeals to many of the best dressed women. Often white crepe or satin, ninon or voile is combined with darker lace, ecru, beige or dark enough to be called choco- late, but among the finest importations at present one sees slips, nightgowns, combinations, etc., in which pure white satin or silk crepe is combined with white lace or is embellished only fine embroidery, pin tucks and the other bits of fine handwork dear to the | heart of the well dressed French woman. (Copyright, 1930.) | Step-Saving People Wisest and Happiest “Let your head save your heels,” was an old-fashioned admonition of house- wive8 years before people began talk- ing about labor-saving devices or house- hold efficiency. Yei carpet sweepers, vacuum cleaners, patent mops and other labor-saving devices are examples of concentrated ead wark,” done once and for all on the part of the in- the purpose of saving end- work. Still with the best planned kitchen | and pantry and dining rom, with the most up-to-date shelves and closets and all sorts of electrical devices there are housewives who still do quantities of neediess heel work—all because they | seem o prefer to “save their heads.” Meal preparation in the nature of | things Tequires the taking of a good {many steps, but it s surprising to see how many more Steps some women take than others. These are the women who don't think as they work, It is tmportant to visualie the meal shead of time m terms of neces- sary steps. If you cannot do-this “in | your head” take a few minutes getting your meal plan down on paper. A list of foods will also suggest serv- ing dishes needed in the kitchen and dishes needed in the dining room. You | may plan to go to the china closet with two trays on one of which to place tite things needed in the kitchen and on the -other the things needed in the dining room. Plan 50 that you can attend to some of your preparation while you are wait- ing for things to cook on the stove. | “Any sort of scheme for planning | meals in advance means the saving of | steps. It means one trip to the stores instead of two or three, It means | often that most of the food prepara- tion may be done at once. Food ma- terials needed may all be assembled on | the kitchen work table witlt the neces- | sary utensils and, then, conveniently seated on & chair or stool, you may do the work in & comparsatively short time. Mitts Again RA‘I'Hm ng to many has | been the revival of the lace or silk mitt or fingerless glove for evening. | Mitts are a compromise between kid | gloves and no gloves at all that har- monizes well with the more picturesque type of Summer evening dress. They are chosen of pastel tones to match {guul frocks, while with black dresses lack lace mitts are usually chosen.
