SOFT MULES OVER SILK

As far as becomingness is concerned, there is a strong plea in faVor Of the dressy loose neglige. Eyery woman-S s too, too solid fiesh''-looks well in one of these fuffy, soft, clinging much be- ruffled and betrimmed garments.
 Fashion just now dictates mat one or these airy trifies should be included in the summer trousseau of every we'll dressed woman, and l quite agree with the capricious dame, provlded the owner can withstand the temptation to display this loveliness in season and out.

Y AVE you q friend who collects H pitchers? If so, you will win her 1 1 to you for life if you give her one of the new little crockery water jugs that are so much admired this season.
 The shape is fascinating-very squat ana fat with unusually wide mouth. The only coloring IS three ineh-wide bands of a deep, almost Irish green about the bulge of the jug, and touch of the same shade on the handle. The contrast with the creamy tint of the crockery is particularly striking.
 Of all collecting fads this of pitchers is one of the most pleasant. while less costly than many. Of course, indefinite amounts may be spent on single speci- men, especially if 1t Is an antique; then quaint. really artistic jugs and water bottles for a mere trifle. For some

 N friends admire most, and the one
 where the children are happiest, 1e tho library. We feel more at home there. moro suited to the room, more at our ease. The only pity Is that we Go not feel the same way about the other rooms. Why is 1t? Perhaps 1t Is because there are tot of petty knick- knacks and vases about, which break and upset on the slightest provocation, or we feel afraid to walk brisxiy across the room, for the tableS and lamps are Eo easily brushed over. Perhaps the chairs are gilded or covered with light, costly material, and we dare not sit upon them. Expensive curtains keep out the view and obstruct the light; and we feel awed by the petty grandeur. But 1t is not so in the library. There the heavy table and chairs bid us welcome, and the fire greets us cheerily. We do not hesitate to pick up book or maga- zine and then throw 1t down again when we are done with it. The warm.

THE SEASONS NEoLIaEs

The woman who does her own work and marketing surely cannot find the extra dressing incident on the wrap per-wearing habit a tine-saver. A simple chintz gown, with possibly a Peter Pan collar and colored tie, if coolness is a necessity. makes the best working suit for household duties any one can desire.
 However, far be 1t from me to say that under certain circumstances a neglige is not as suitable as 1t is dainty and becoming. Very hot wealth CT and semi-invalidjem make relaxa- ton of the strictest rules permissible. especially if one happens to be tall, slender and willowy. A fat woman and a wrapper is q combination to make a renegade of the most vtrulent opponent of stays
 < Even Miss Prim" would find it hard to remain true to her principles if she once had a glimpse of this seasons negliges. They are enticing beyond a doubt, whether in silk and chiffon or in cool, fresh dimity and lawn. For, be it understood. the modern lounging gown Is no longer sloppy, ill-htting garment. without semblance of style. The cheapest little ready-made room gown is neatly constructed with fitted back, loose front, with ties, and bit of lace or a touch of color here and there to give it the daintiness so essen tial in such costume.
 Then there are jaunty little break fast dresses, shirred to the figure above and below the waistline into a broad beading of embroidery, through which runs a colored ribbon. A ruffle of the insertion and lace on the skirt and a lace-trimmed bertha and angel sleeves make these little gowns dainty and cool, with as little as possible appear ance of a lounging robe.
 Scarcely so trig are the so-called comfort dresses, consisting of a loose. half-fitting sacque, ending at the hips, with skirt to match. Comfortable they are, undoubtedly, but decidedly trying to the best of figures. They are made up in black and white lawns. or In white-dotted swiss, with shallow sailor collars or slightly surpliced neeks. trimmed with an edging of lace or Hamburg embroidery.
 Any of these little gowns may be worn to breakfast on a hot August morning in the privacy of family life: but never should they be donned at a hotel. boarding house or house party. Personally I would not advise a negli- ge for a guest, even though visiting a dear friend who herself indulges in them.
 This rule holds equally good even of the elaborate creations of silk and lace known as teagowns I know many charming women who disagree with me in this, and consider one of these loose robes perfectly admissible for receiving visitors, even men visitors during any daytime hGnr,
