NEW STYLES IN LINGERIE
Underwear Takes on More Attrac.
tions Than Usual In Offerings
for This Season.

In the struggle for life this seaSon.
for at some time the lingerie has been
reduced to minimum, underwear has
taken on more attractions than usual.
The well-f1tted models, the exquisite
embroidery and the fine materials Of
which lingerie Is now made are con.
vincing to the woman who is search
ing for bargains.
For brides especially has the new
lingerie decided attractions. The fine
muslins without stitfening are al
varied as the morning hours are from
the evening. They should be kept So
too, which point is worth remember
ing. They are most durable whe1
lace Is absent. In other words, If you
are planning sensible outfit to last
more than one year, use embroidery.
Even the finest swiss and batiste en-
broidery outlasts lace. 1t can be used
second time in many cases.
F1ounces should not be too full for
the spring and summer. The straight
skirt is slightly fuller, but does not
flare. Its straight lines must not be
1nterfered with by any underfounce.
Corset covers of allover embroidery
or wide f1ouncing are very sensible
for the dressy kind. They should be
cut with little fullness at the waist,
for the same reason that bulk has
been eliminated from the petticoat.
The fitted corset cover with the circu.
lar peplum Is the most satisfactory.
Nightgowns made on empire lines
are probably moving toward first
place. The short upper portion is
gathered into straight band of EN-.
broidery or beading. Flowing OF
puffed sleeves are quite short.
AS usual, the handmade lingerie has
value not to be gainsaid The French
importations will always be favored
by the woman with money to indulge
her longings.
The extremely plain lingerie with
tape drawing strings and a plain seal
loped edge is the kind that should an
peal to practical minds. They com
bine daintiness with excellent wear
ing qualities, and they are inexpen
sive.
Demand good-f1tting model and q
high quality of material. and you,

souri, men have devised a harness
which is warranted to cure this habit.
Straps cross the horses back and
breast and at their functions are fas
tened the ends of ropes which engage
the fetlocks of the animals hind legs
in running loops. The other end of
the ropes are fastened to staples in
the horses stall or to some other sta
tionary object in front of which he is
tied. The result Is that when q horse
is trussed up in this manner, if he
tries to kick he find he cannot get his
hind feet beyond certain point, and
after making a number of in effectual
efforts he becomes discouraged. If
he is a particularly bad kicker he
can be goaded into making these at

1t would certainly be hard to surpass
the Roycroft plan for attractiveness
and general usefulness. The accom-

plan of the cot. The dimensions of
all cots are so near standard that it
will hardly necessitate the repetition
of these figures here. The main
points Of difference in the 'bunga-

are: The center board on each side
are hinged so that they can be swung
open in hot weather; the ridge cap
is SO mounted that it can be raised
and lowered at will, thus further as
