ARTISTIC MIDWINTER
LOUNGING ROBES

1t may seem a trif1e forced to speak
of room gowns in the very hight of
the winter season. Yet this is the
very time when a woman most de-
lights to doff the straight lacings of
her street dress and slip into a loung-
ing robe. AS she leans back in the
soft folds of silk or lace, the tired
lines in her face relax and years drop
from her as "A mantle.
There is one marked difference to
be noticed in the new negligees. The
short matinee is out of favor, and long
sweeping robes add grace to the fig
ure. This is undoubtedly a reflection
of the unpopularity of the separate
dress waist. Since whole garments
are in fashion, they have even in
vaded the boudoir.
Some latent love of barbaric finery
seems coming to the front this win
ter. Woman is too correct to show
her preferences to the eyes of the out
side world, but in the privacy of her
own room she revels in the many
hued Japanese kimona, in the gorge
GUS embroideries of a Chinese woman
of rank, and in aesthetic draperies
from Persia and the Indies. AS an
Eastern imported said recently, "The
market for imported costumes has

Numbers of novel laces are extern

but the best things always showing
a studied restraint.
The extreme width Of the very short
drawers worn seems at times an abb
surd exaggeration, until it is discover
ed that such kinds are admirable sub
stitutes for the short skirt. In fact
these wide drawers with their several
fiounces and ribbon draw strings COM

the only merchandising for a silk
lined house toilette.
For figures inclining only to mod
crate buxomness the doing away of
all superfluous bulk about the hips is
a necessity for the good fit of the
skirts now worn. On the other hand,
the woman of ethereal build is provided
with all sorts of dainty fripperies for
the building out of her figure. Instead
of the old, injurious bust pads of wire
netting or the wads of cotton impen-
etrable to air, ruchings of fine lace,
net, chiffon or ribbon are now worn

is clever with her needle. She, too,
may have lounging robes brilliant with
orange chrysanthemums, or blossoms
with the pink and white petals of the
cherry
A dainty silk kimona is in a pale
tint of green so faint and tender that
it suggests the spring. 1t is exquisite
ly embroidered in cherry blossoms in
all the natural shades. The wide
kobi, or sash, is embroidered its entire
length and finished with deep knotted
silk fringe. A green satin, shot with
gold, is used to finish the neck and
fronts.
Another charming kimona is in the
true sky-blue shade. flock of tiny
black birds fly across the front and
decorate the kobi, while the gold,
which flecks the black satin that fin
lshes the neck and front seems to
typify the sunlight underlying the
darkest clouds.

Yet in spite of the charm of these
Eastern garments, the French negligee
still holds its own. 1t is the triumph
of long years of perfection, for the

the art of appearing at her best at all
times and in all places-in her boudoir
as in the ballroom.

FRENCH HINTS
FOR SIMPLER
Embarrassing.

Women who intelligently seek to be
beautiful are striving for greater sim
pllcity in their wearing appeared. 1t
is an encouraging symptom of a
rational dress reform.
This new idea of combining dainti-
ness and simplicity comes from Paris.
The woman who inclines her ear to
listen to the wise sayings of French
modistes may be sure that it will be
to her advantage. Instead of no cor
sets, boomers, ugly undergarments,
and ill-ftting gowns, such as faddists
have advocated, the French reform
ers go to the other extreme. They
know that only few women can be
induced to make freaks of themselves.
From the skin outward" says
madame, as she lays a union suit of
soft clinging silk before her patrons
eyes. This may be sleeveless or have
sleeves, as the wearer chooses. The
only requisite is that it must be in one
piece and cling to the figure like a pair
of tights. Not a line will be impair
ed, not a wrinkle will be possible.
1.-The corset" says the arbiter, must
also fit like a glove" The newest cor
sets are called Stays" which they
really are. Instead of extending up
to the breast bone and cramping the
chest and it's muscles, they do not
extend more than five inches above
the waist line. They may be made of
al -;I hot fcfn he IAo xyf1x
embroidered or plain, but they must
be longwaisted, taper well at the hips
and lace in front. To remove, they
may be unclasped at the side.
No steels are needed to adjust such
a stay, which is slipped over the head
and laced to fit the figure, leaving free
the shoulders and chest, as well as the
muscles of the diaphragm.
After the corset comes the one
piece undergarment, which is mar
velous combination in lingerie-four
garments in one. Over the corset this
dainty affair looks like a corset-cover
and pettlcoat. but it is also chemise
and drawers.
This combination garment is as far
removed from the so-called health
garments" as can be imagined. 1t is
made of fine handkerchief linen, and
is trimmed with Valenciennes lace.
White silk wash ribbons, three-Quar-
tiers of an inch wide, are run through
beading at the neck. waist and above
fiounces 1t is slipped over the head.
The long petticoat which comes
next should have a habit back and fit
as smoothly as the sheath-like dress
skirt.
Instead of seven pieces of wearing
apparel, only three are necessary in
this new way.
The new style of dress has other
advantages which might be cited, but
an important one is it's easy adjust
ment when the wearer is travelling,
especially when dressing in the close
quarters of a sleeping car.

OLD-FASHIONED
GLASS PAINTING
is BEING REVIVED,

According to the present indications
glass painting bids fair to take its
original place in the rank of decora-
ton, and women who are so fortunate
as to have old heirlooms in the shane
of banjo and grandfather's clocks with
quaint glass pictures are now more
than ever to be envied. But any won-
an of moderate ability can turn her
knowledge of painting to account in
this direction, for the work is easily
done and the results are always in
teresting.
Since this old accomplishment has
been revived, it is rapidly becoming
the fashion to use it in beautifyina
the home. Often the entire appear
Transforming an ordinary glass WIN
dow into an imitation stained glass
one. A square or oblong window over
the piano or book shelves, which is
not an ornament to the room, but is
necessary for light, need be no longer
an eyesore if treated to this simple
method of color painting.
One of the most interesting examples
of imitation stained glass was seen
recently. To accomplish this result the
painter first had a pane of glass
cut the same size of the window.
On this was sketched in outline
the motif, after which it was
painted in the same manner as on
chint. From the edge of the glass the
arrangement of the gold leaf was so
carefully applied that it gives a gor-
geous effect when the sun shines
through it.
Some artists make it a point to
stand their easels in the sunshine
while working on glass, so they can
keep the effect in the foreground in
applying colors. This method of
working is trying on the eyes, how
ever, and rather difficult to follow.
To insure durability, the glass must
be fired before mounting in the pane.
A new idea of identifying a hall
window at the first stair landing is to
arrange a circular piece of glass about
eighteen inches in diameter in a frame
in such a manner as to give the effect
of stained glass. This is done by care

tity of gold leaf interspersed. If the
window is square, oblong or diamond
shape, it may be first painted a solid
color, leaving a space in the center for
an inhalation stained glass window to
be puttied on in any desired shape.
The putty is gilded over, so that it
does not show, and the effect of the
solid color underneath the outer glass
is beautiful if the paints are judicious-
ly applied.
An old-fashioned oblong French
mirror is also an excellent object on
which to experiment. after removing
it from the frame. This may be dec

inches deep, after the old style, with

having a moulding under the painted
panel, of course, as they did in olden
times.
The modern grandfather clocks are
also decorated with pleasing results.
One of the prettiest ones shown has
the coat-of-arms and the monogram
of the family to whom It belongs. A
laurel leaf wreath encircles the color
ed monogram, and adds character to
the painting. Even book cases have

"Why, what are you doing in town

Perhaps you are the certain leader of
fashion who paid $500 for a Maltese

These social leaders were busy on
an errand that has become a fad
among women who like to be in the
lead of new styles and to set the fash
ion for those innumerable women who
follow any style which the whims of
the leaders may cause them to adopt.
The fad of the new year will be not
merely to wear Maltese lace, but to
wear it in pieces that match one an
other in their decorative designs. The
fact that it is not the easiest thing
in the world to match this lace, with
its ivory-gold tint and fine silken tex
ture, only lends fascination to the en-
deavor, and women who care for lace
and want to be fashionable will rival
one another in the number and beauty
of their Maltese Gets.
