Comforts for the Bed Room.
Comparatively few women take time
to master the are of being comforta-
BILE In the privacy Of their own rooms.
They will argue with their tailor re-
garding the fit of new suit They
Will track ,relentlessly the Elusive
bargain in silks or. laces for an even
ing frock. They will put the eyesight
In jeopardy setting dainty stitches in
TO blouses for house wear but for
bedroom comfort they will spend nei-
Their time nor money. A seventy-four
cent kimono Of fiimsy material
oftimes constitutes a woman's entire
bedroom outfit.
Now, a. truth, there is no one
thing which will SO aid her DAILY pur-
suit of good looks as the comfortable,
warm, well fitted yet roomy neelieee,
II she belongs to the cold bedroom
brigade this kimono or wrapper
| should be made from some warm. all
wool material, long enough and large
enough to wrap round and round her
figure when she curls up for a fifteen
minute nap. There should be warm
slippers to match.
| Ih1s Is especially true in the case OF
the woman who does her own nouse-
work. Every afternoon, when the do
nestle stress lightens, she should shut
herself in her bedroom, and, in the
most comfortable negligee her purse
will afford, enjoy absolute relaxation
Fifteen minutes of absolute comfort
Will reduce wrinkles, obliterate lines
and soften circles d: under tired eyes.
But If she attempts to take this so,
called rest without sufficient covering,
with cnills chasing up and down her
! spine, it is sheer waste Of time.
| At first sight, the ready-made XII
mono Or negligee is money-saver,
But any woman with a small knowl>
| edge of sewing and the use of the pat
terms will, in the end, save money by
making her own bedroom comforts.
The average ready-to-wear komono is
too long for the woman of medium
size, and too narrow for the stout
woman. They do admirably for sum-
mer wear when made from dotted
Swiss. stamped lawns, etc., but in
winter the negligee should fit well and
be of ample proportions.
For combination lounging and
batnrobe at a reasonable figure, there
Is nothing better in the way of fabric
than e1derdown, which can be bought
I'm various widths and weights. This
material works up best in a kimono
pattern or on the square, almost
shapeless lines Of the bathrobe made
