The Princess UndersIIp,

A summer gown keeps It's freshness
much longer when made without lin
ing, and worn instead over a princess
underslip that can be laundered when
ever necessary. These underslips may
be Of wash silk or of lawn or batiste-
the latter is much cooler-and are
boned and fitted quite as carefully as
the lining OF gown would be.
Whether the skirt be long or short, 1t
is well to have it finished on the un.
derside with dainty lace trimmed
rufile corresponding to that on the
upper side of the skirt-for then there
is no possibility. when seated, OF
showing the unfinished side of the
petticoat. OF course, too, for the dec
ollete gown, the underslip is cut low
and leeveless.-Vogue.

HARD TO IMPRESS MODERATION.
Women Prone to overdo Things When
Exercise Is Ordered

1t is quite difficult to impress upon
women the good of exercise; but it is
equally difficult to compel them not to
overdo 1t.
Give woman pair of dumbbells
and tell her to take a gentle exercise
for five minutes every morning, and
she will swing them with violence
several times day until her arms
ache from exhaustion.
Tell her to play tennis during pleas
ant days, and she will play 1t for
hours. at all hours, without modera-
ton or judgment.
1t is the same with every form of
exercise suggested. 1t seems the ma
ture of woman to overdo 1t through ig-
norance. They do not know its value
enough to comprehend its danger
They think If a little Is good more is
better.
They weary themselves out, deplete
their heart action, give themselves
acute indigestion. all because they will
not do in moderation the thing that
would make them we'll and strong
Doctors and physical culturists say
they have to fight this tendency in
women more than any other one thing

and tissues

Many of the new fall and winter cos
tunes will be finished off with sash,
due largely to the directoire style now
In vogue. These will be made of broad
satin OF soft pliable quality, and will
swathe the waist in soft folds, the
ends falling gracefully down the side
or front of the costume. Already this
fashion is beginning to show In the
latest summer styles, as many of the
lingerie princess frocks are now com
pleted with a ribbon sash fastened to
the back only. In some fall gowns the
sash is on the Turkish idea, being
wound tightly around the waist and
hips, and then falling in soft folds al
most to the bottom Of the costume.

Slipper Bows.

One of the most attractive Of the
slipper bows now in fashion is made
Of very soft. thin silk with three loops
on each side. The silk or satin is of
such soft quality that it does not,
when looped, stand out at all, but is
arranged to lie quite fiat and so manip.
ulated as to look like the petals of a
flower. The lops are graduated in size
SO. chat the lowest ones come out the
faNhest. Tiny gold beads are sewed
on the ends of each loop, and there are
three or four strands of these beads
across the center of the bow.
Red slippers will be worn a good
deal during the summer, and for some
OF these there are bows of velvet rib
bon to match the slipper exactly.

NOW THE DRAPED WAisTcoAT.
Il 10 Worn with Fancy Jackets and Be-
comes Woman Of Slim Figure.

The draped waistcoat has come In
again. 1t is to be worn with fancy
Jackets, and will prove especially be-
coming to thin figures. Being made to
wear with a princess skirt, or skirt
having a princess belt, 1t Is very short,
coming just to the top OF the prin-
cess belt 1t Is much shorter at the
sides than the front and very much
shorter in the back than anywhere
else. The back is absolutely plain
and tight-f1tting, and 1t Is most i'm
portant that it should fit well. other
wise the effect of the outer jacket
cannot be successful. The drapery
begins at the shoulder seams, where
the material is laid in folds. There
are more folds which come from the
under arm seam, SO that the front OF
the waistcoat is entirely draped, the
folds being arranged to give an equal
fulness across the bust. The waist
coat is double breasted and has four
buttons. covered with the material.
Such a waistcoat is usually worn
over q thin shirtwaist that Is not par
icularly elaborate because 1t will
hardly be seen, although 1t should be
very well fitting and Of sheer material.
otherwise the costume will be too
warm and one may not remove coat
worn over a waistcoat. There is al
most always a high collar and fancy
jabot worn with such waistcoats. and
either a jabot or lace bow Of some
dimensions is necessary to make the
proper effect. A waistcoat seems
never to look SO well with a shirt
waist which has not a jabot as with
one which has.
