the place of alternating rows Of satin
ribbon and lace insertion for the eIab-
orate negligee. This combination is
found to look rich and beautiful to
degree, and if the lace be of dainty,
filmy weave and the ribbon Of pretty
and becoming color the scheme leaves
little to be desired. It's mere mat
ter of taste as to which direction the
stripes thus gained shall take. The
short woman, though, will choose
them up and down, the too tall woman
'round and round, while the woman Of
medium size may have them either
way. Or they may go on the bias,
mitering down the back and front;
but this arrangement will not hold Its
shape as well. ,4gs ,y.!s, e, g.s - =, F-

ss Remarkable Octogenarian.
I Although elghty-two years old this
summer, Mrs. II. p. Van Cleve, "the
first white baby born in the North
west" is still vigorous of mind and
actively Interested in the worlds af-
fairs. She lives in Minneapolis, Min
Ladies' Home Journal, is pictur-
esque and exciting one. Born at Fort
Crawford, Wisconsin, on July /, 1919,
the daughter Of one regular army
officer and the widow of another, she
passed through all the trials, hard
ships and adventures of military and
pioneer life on the frontier, and al
cha nf hnr
later years in cities, her experiences
have still been Of q varied and unusual
character Her golden wedding ami
yersary was celebrated more than
fifteen years ago. -..,r-Yz@zz s.A

Negligees Of all kinds are an i'm
portant consideration during the warm
season. They should be dainty and
pretty enough not to look "slouchy,"
yet be loose and cool enough to be the
essence of comfort. The kimonos of
pale-tinted lawn. lightweight figure,
or inexpensive wash or India silk, or
namented with bands of white, is q
great favorite, and possesses both the
mentioned qualities. More elaborate
ones, of course, are to the fore, one
very charming one being of shell-pink
plisse silk liberty, with yoke from
which it hangs straight DOWN bands,
and edge of cream lace. The edge of
the lace formed the neck finish, as
the yoke was cut with the edge around
the neck and there was no collar.

Fine tucking on lingeries is being
used more than ever. Every piece of
handsome underwear is distinguished
by the quantity of fine tucks, almost
like handmade in its composition.
HemstitchinS is, also, much favored
and embroidery is much preferred to
lace as a trimming, although lace Is
not entirely out Of vogue, fine val
enciennes and point de Paris and laces
of a similar character still being used.
The moderate length hip, sloping to-
ward the back, is the most comfort
able as we'll as the newest shape in
corsets. Stout women, however, Will
do well to cling to the long hip model.
French women almost universally
wear their corsets over all their un-
derskirts, to obtain a smoother con-
tour. Many of our women would do
well to follow their example.
There are growing rumors OF a
-white-hose fad for wear with summer
dresses, but as yet none has appeared
On the street. They are so much less
becoming to wear than black ones,
that it is probable they will not be
generally worn. The newest ones
lately exhibited were OF fiimsy texture
in beautiful open-work lace designs.
A curved front gore, at the waist
line, marks the newest underskirts
to accommodate the straight from
corset and elongated waist line
