Red hats increase in New Lacy New York, June 25—The charac- ‘ter of lingerie usually is quite de- pendent upen the modes of costumes worn topping it. There is real reason for this. Full flounced undergarmentts had no ace in the reign of the straight- nd-down styles. Moreover, though many women clung,to very feminine, lacy lingerie during the days when a simple, tailored sports suit was considered suitable cestum- ing for all occasions, the majority of nmew undergarments toek a tail- ored aspect, even though beautifully hand-made. There's Vogue for Lace ‘Today the return of the feminine mode is resounded in lingerie styles. The laciest, sheerest™of fabrics w» used, such as georgette, ninon, chif- fon, lace, point d'esprit net and mouaseline de soie. Moreover, the division of styles into these more or less tailored things suitable for daytime wear and those dressier ones for after- noon and evening finds its coun- terpart in lingerie modes. There are many finely fitted and severely plain things for sports wear, travel and daytime wear for those who /prefer this tvpe of garment under sports suit. Vests that tuck into little step-in shorts and combinations both are featured. Feminine Modes Reign But there is a decided increase in the numbers of delicately fem- inine modes. More and more wo- men are choosing this type exclu- sively. The new silhouette for lingerie is, like the costumes over it, the tinations and negligees are cut princess line. 8lips, gowns, com- princess. Others feature the nor- mal waistline by belts, yokes or pleated sections. The straight up and down garment even in night- | gowns is hard to find.

Talks P£S &g, Parents THE CARE OF PETS By Alice Judson Peale “Alice was eight years old a month ago, and for her birthday I gave her a puppy with the understanding that she was to take care of him her- self. But already I have to remind her about fe¢ding him. “I suppose she is too young to have a dog. But she seemed so eager that T thought she really would live up to her promise. Perhaps I ought to give him away now that shé has failed to keep up her end of the | bargain.” | No ecight-year-old child will re- member faithfully to feed even a well loved pet day, day after | day. Young children simply are not | capable of that sort of thing and we should not expect it of them. Even high school boys and girls find it | hard to perform a task so steady | and ever recurring. Any child who loves his pet and plays with it deserves to keep it even if a good share of the time he does forget to feed him. When you give your child a pet, make up your mind that the job of caring for it often will fall to you. You may remind your youngster to feed his dog or to clean the rab- bit hutch, but there is nothing to be gained by nagging him about it. Just comfort yourself with the thought that, being a child, he cannot help being childishly irresponsible. Tell | yourself that the fun your youngster | has is compensation for the extra work that falls your way. Rémember that while it is good to trouble; that he will have a muen | shorter inteatine than the thirty feet which now heeomes sustcct te | colitis, stasis. ohstructions and nu | mereus other disturbnnces, heenee | of its innumerable curves and i that he will probably he « FLAPPER FANNY SAYS: l touch system.
