NEW DEPARTURES
IN BRIDES LINGERIE

There are some very decided depart
ures in the way Of lingerie for the pros
pective bride.
Dimity is being most used for night
dresses and combinations Of corset
cover and skirt all in one and they seem
the height Of luxury and cOquetry.
The new dImity weaves are unlike the
old ones. The sheer white is woven with
bars. checks. spots. squares and small
floral designs, and as designs are in
white they serve to Increase the deli
CateneSs Of the background.
The trimmings are Val. lace or inSer-
tons Of double-edged embroidered ga
looms. with soft ribbons IN inch wide

SOFT PETTICOATS

As Not to Betray Their
Presence.

Pettieoats Of the softest. Simplest sat
IN underlie many of the new costume
skirts, but they are so perfectly put to-
gether that their presence is not sus-
pected- They are fitted about the bips
as carefully as the gown itself. and so
finished at the top that no waist band
is necessary. In fact. it would be out
OF the question 10 have e-ti.er a band
or yoke on them, as tae smooth-ft-
ting skirt would inevitably betrav their
presence.
SO lar mas the craze for invisible
petticOats extended that In some Crar-
tiers il is proposed to introduce so light

GIRL GIVES
IDEA OF SUFFRAGE

high school girl in Detroit has
written, in good faith. the following
composition:
Woman suffrage is that form Of
government that creates a confusion
in some Of the larger cities Of the
world As in London, the women are
continually being arrested for their
revolutionary habits. The women in
those parties are either rich and seek
advertising through the papers or
have some personal grIdge against the
government
ANY government should pass .ordi-
nances that no woman should hold 4.
political position, as this is detri-
mental 10 her and helps to make her
masculine This doesn't mean she can
not be interested. but merely that she
must not hang around in public places
where men swear. make and do nu-
merous other disagreeable acts. The
place for women IS in the home. and
there to make il coy and happy for
men their husbands, who do hold Do-
htical positions"

volcanoes are an enormous source
Of profit to the populations who live

the volcano attracts many visitors.

possession the Sicilians own.
