The boudoir Jacket is now looked upon
as an imperative need by the girl OF the
! moment.
1t is shown IN any number OF fascinating
designs. but whether OF liberty silk, nous
seine de sole or fine batIste. It Is invariably
lace-trimmed.
The very newest idea is to wear the
bordoir jacket with skirt to match.
In fact, this style Of n~egligee costume II
now regarded as more or less OF a rival of
the tea-gown.
In exquisitely fine dotted Swiss. With lace
Insertions and delicateiy tinted ribbons. this
style % costume is very lovely.
Sometimes. however. the boudoir jacket
may he appropriately worn with a -hite
pettiCoat.
That this IL permissible is plainly shown
by a glance at some of the latest white un-
dcrskirts.
They are a mass OF tucks and billowy lace
friils.
They fit .aultlessly over the hips. but
have sufficient nounces at the bottom to
give them che correct fullness and fare.
and they are made OF such sheer India
linen or nainsook that they actually look
fit to form part OF a dancing gown.
Every woman knows that the correct
corset ard how 10 wear It is really the
secret OF the gowns success.

, The corset Of to-day ID built on entirely
new lines.
It has the straight front, the extremely
long hip and the low bust. =
Its aim is to natten the abdomen and give
a slender effect to the hips.
And much of this Is accomplished by the
hose supporters
Once upon . time garters were supposed
to do but one thing-hold up the stockings.
Now they have not only to do this. bu1
they materially aid the fashionable woman
in holding herself correctly. =,

These classics are not . part Of the core
set. but are worn over the waist. a square
tab OF satin In 'front.' and to this four elaS
tics are secured.
These should he crossed from the inside
to the outside OF the stocking in fastening.
OF course, a girl who has a loneliness fo9
fifty TEA gowns and dainty nesligees is .
most particular young person when H
comes to selecting her slippers to weae
with these fascinating boudoir gowns.
Sometimes her slippers are Of satin cove

her gown.

of the Passover
After the ceremony in the synagogue the people
returned to their homes and feast was held
AT this the head OF the house is robed in white
garments and recnes at the table. The youngest
member of the family begins the ceremony by ask
ing four questions OF the father. These questions
relate to the ceremonies and intended TO recall
the sacred memories connected with the celebra-
ton. For example, the child asks why the family
must drink some bitter draught, and is told that
il is to remind them OF the sunelngs or the jewish
people in their captivity
After the feast is finished. and it is elaborate
