PRETTY BREAKFAST JACKETS

Besides underwear, there are the
dear little breakfast Jackets and neg
ligees that are made Of remnants Of
fine lawn, swiss or orEandy-a three
and-a-half or four gard length being
quite enough. One OF these dainty
affairs was made of lawn in a big
Powered pattern, had a sailor collar
and was edged all around with mar
row val lace. Ribbons at the neck
were its only fastening.
Then there are endless little things
that many women like. The set 1T
frilly rufties that very slender women
find such an Improvement when worn
under their thin blouses, the Corsagn
pad which breaks the line between
the edge of the corset and the wearcr
and the shower bow that Is used as
decoration for al-?ost any piece Of
lingerie.
There is a deep rooted prejudice i'm
many women against anything like
color i'm their underwear, but for her
who has not this feeling one of these
pads made from a scrap of Dresden
or plain coloTed ribbon, lined with soft
cotton wadding that has a sugges-
tion-just suggestion-Of violet aOOut

One very attractive shower bow Is
made with a chou OF lingerie ribbon
about an inch and a quarter wide, and
from this falls a shower OF narrower
ribbons, each one terminating in
tiny bow.

An interesting attempt is 20 be made

To say that the bull moose has the

terrible thing indeed.
But often the courage of the

his strength is of no use to him
