THE ECONOMY OF THE LINGERIE SKIRT

- lNCE the first clever woman hit
upon the idea of a lingerie skirt
TO go with lingerie blouses "a
great deal of progress has been
made in popularizinE lingerie dresses.
Not that they weren't popular enough
in idea before; but they were too eXpen-
sive, coming as they did in rich sim
plicity of embroidery and hand-run
tucks and lace. They were beyond
the amount the average woman feels
justified in paying for a white dress,
let alone the skirt to one.
But generally women woke up to the
fact Of their beauty. and from that to
an economical accomplishing was but
a short step.
The thing that made lingerie skirts
exquisite wasn't their elabOrate-thOugh.

| II was the sheer. beautiful stuffs they
were made of and the dainty treatment
of every seam. The actual work was
easy enough, and tie results were
charming
Perhaps a skirt of nine cores was
put together with VeinIng. French fash
iOn with the fullness around the hips
eased off in tucks. Everything but the
seams and the belt was done by hand
even the hem carefully laid and exquis-
itely stitched.
When ruffles were used. the lace was
whipped into rolled edge and the

of more of the veining.

IL is wide. which amounts TO the same
thing; and n skirt OF II, trimmed with
nothing but the veining and tucks. goes
transforms IL from the separate thing II
was into a part of an exquisite whole.

THEORY TO PROLONG LIFE
TO THE CENTURY MARK

Scientists Of England and America
are interested In a new exponent OF
long life, Sir James Crichton- Browne,
who says that the normal life of man
IL 100 years. Physicians on both sides
of the water have taken the matter
| up and the papers are full of sugges-
tions how to prolong life and how to
live so that any hereditary disease
| which would tend to shorten a mans
years may be overcome.
Sir James Crichton. Browne con.
tends, in opposition to the Osler
theory, that many contributions of in
estimable value have been made to
knowledge by men more than sixty
years old. The great specialist lays
down the following rules conducive to
long life:
Be moderate.
Take plenty of exercise.
Take plenty of sleep.
DO not worry.
Eat sparingly OF fish and meat.
Eat plenty Of bread, milk, fruit, sug-
ar, rice and peas.
Sir James says that the fact that
t~tHteUdFldHS are more numerous
among the negro races is because
they unconsciously follow these rules.
He proved by statistics that. while
a white man Is awake seventy-five
years out OLA hundred, a negro Is
awake only about fifty.
Some time ago twenty men and
women who had passed the century
mark gave a set Of rules by which,
they had abided and to which
they said, the owed their longevity.
OF these twenty. twelve were women
and eight men. The first rule that
the majority agreed upon was that
excuses Of all kinds should he avoid
ed, The next In favor was that worry
should be banished. The strongest and
most active among the number as
serted that the chief requisite of long
life was hard work, while several an
proved the use OF liquor and tobacco
moderately.
Many aged men 0 active in pub
