silk. Others are using white taffeta
blouses, lined with white open flannel,
and buying or making a White taffeta
potticOat.
Others are net making any fc- they
intend to wear exceedingly fancy cor
set covers. deliberately done up with
ribbons, and fancy white petticoat
made extra long.
This is all very well for those who
have gone through the hardening pro-
ces11 and do not fear to go abroad in
blouses thin as tissue paper, or without
any extra covering across the should
ers, but the majority of women are
not fashioned this way.
Again. a thin woman should realize
that she looks far better in the lingerie
waist that is properly lined fer winter
| than one which is uniined.
Fine materials have a method of
sinking into all the hollows C. cnes
shoulders and this.is averted by a soft
lining that has body to it.
The cambria Innings that some wo-
men use are very ungain y. They are
high-necked and long slceved. and
while they give more warmth than
China silk, they also destroy all the
smartness OF the blouse They take
which is its exceeding fineness
The taffeta blouse Tired with flannel,
is the most costly, because it does not
wash and must be renewed when it
cracks or is split: whereas, the China
silk washes like a pocket handkerchief
and wears exceedingly well. 1t can be
lined with thin flannel. if one wishes.
but it is really not necessary if one will
take preca ution when wearing these
| 1OCks. The houses are so well heated
| that ono Goes net take cold frcn gar
ret to cellar, and when one goes out on
the street the heaviest and Warmest
coat should be worn, that fastens from
| brooch to belt buckle.
Women who cannot stand cold find
they can wear the sheerest lingerie
olouses over China silk slips CT even
| over linen corset covers by seeing to it
! that the coats are wadded and suffici-
emily loose to keep up the circula ton
1T is a great mistake, by the way to
! have a tight coat for any cold wea Their
| wear. Ii the coat is loose and well
girdled it gives the grea test warmth.
The best style to use for the under
| slip is princess. The blouse and skirt
| should be put together on the same
belt and fasten down the back This
saves plaits, drawing strings and all
| that burglesome arrangement around
the waist line which is inevitable when
one wears separate petticoats and cor
set covers.
| If one does rot wish to afford a taft
| feta petticoat and yet needs a lined taft
feta blouse. the best thing to do is to
make a petticoat on the blouse belt of
white lawn with five small 1uff1es above
| the hem and then fasten to this a deap
ruffie from the knees of embroidered
muslin o. tucked taffeta, bought req DIV
| to use in the shops.
These ruf1les are expensive and
| therefore, give value to the outside
| frock, and they can be constantly re-
| moved from the pcttiCoGt when it
! needs washing.
There are different methods of put
| ting them on.
SCme women haste them and Zip off
when needed. Others put a row of
| beading on the petticoat, another row
at the end of ruffie, lay one over the
| other and run ribbons through both al
| the same time.
| This holds them together and is
! very simple.
Others use tiny linen rings which
| nave come in fashion for undeIiinen,
| and tie them together with bow of
colored ribbon.
| OF course all this takes a little time.
| but one doesn't wear these pettcoats
! every day.
| One of the simplest methods is to
