THE HERALD'S PATTERNS
WeII-fitting Lingerie
Essential to Style.

The very scant effects which
to-day prevail in women's
costumes have brought US
distinctly new styles in lin
gerie suitable for wear be-
meath them. 1t would GER
tainly be impossible for US to
don the nicely gathered gar
ments which met our require
ments a few years ago, and
to place over them the
straight lines of present outer
modes.
One wrinkle is enough to
mar the beauty of a dress, and
if the outer appearance is to
be all that it should be, 1t
will be found absolutely. nee
essary to eliminate everything
that can possibly make a line
or crease underneath.
The combination undergar-
ment has resulted from our
endeavors in this direction.
Beginning with the union suit
underneath the corset, we
have now also the One-piece
corset cover and drawers for
wearing over 1t.
This garment may be Joined
by a seam at the waist line, as
in the illustration. but the
seam must be neat and fat so
as not to show through the
outer material.
In this garment, which de-
picts Peerless pattern No. 554s,
the corset cover has a nice
fat back and only a trifle of
fullness in front. Even this
is removed before the waist
line is reached.
In like manner the drawers
are given a circular cut
around the body and have
very little fare at the knee.
We find these garments
made of silk, of pongee. of
batiste, longcloth. and other
white wash goods. and trim
med with lace or embroidery.
Peerless pattern 5549 is cut
in sizes 80 to a. inches bust
measure. 1t can be obtained
by sending 10 cents to the Of
fee of this paper.

that which began on saturday last and
which closes at noon on Thursday of this

Already there is a tremendous influx OF
letters giving me Il many views OF the
Santa Claus question. for there seems L"
he a great diversity of opinion upon tine
expediency Of telling children mythlcal
tales as facts.

Rrown-ups is that Of Santa Claus days,
when faith was rewarded by full stock

In addition to the happiness of winch

TAFFETA COAT HAS
BECOME A FASHION

What in the springtime promised to
be a fad has developed into a fashion.
This is the taffeta coat which is worn
with plain and striped skirts. 1t Is Of a
vivid color. either solid or iridescent.
The skirt is usually OF white serge or
lingerie, pongee OF rajah. Usually the
plain white Is chosen, but often there is
stripe in II.
The coats are in all the fruit reds. in
the purple of plums. in leaf green, and
tobacco browns. II Is an attractive and
helpful idea for the woman who, has a
separate white skirt and does not wish
to get a short coat that can be worn
only as part Of a suit. She finds that
the taffeta coat serves all needs.

to the finished taste of some meats. Any
number Of these condiments are en-
ployed by the cook to add flavor to the

upon the selection of the sauce. Dreaded

Razing the Chimney Of
High School Building
Steeple Jacks Find it a Difficult
Matter to Get Ropes Over the
Old Smokestaek.

I. Silkett and Earl Impey, steepiejacks.
have been working for two days in an
attempt to raze the smokestack at the old
high school building. There is but one
spot where the masonry from the ll0-fOot
stack can safely fall and that is almost
directly northwest To make the stack
fall into that particular clear space and do
IL so delicately as not to injure any person
or destroy any Of the construction work on
the new wing is the problem that has con-
fronted the workmen.
As a solution they propose to pass two
large guy wires from the top of the stack
TO the northeast and southwest and when
this has been done they will explode dyna-
mite under the southeast corner of the
base II their calculations are correct the
debris will tumble into the desired spot
But Il hasn't been found easy to get the
wires to the top of the stack and the
attempt to do this delayed the execution,
which was originally set for Saturday
afternoon. once the wreokers succeeded,
through the use OF a skyrocket. in getting
a rope over the edge, hue when they tried
to adjust 1t the sharp edges of the bricks
sawed IL In two. When they went in search
of more rockets II was found that the
Fourth OF July had exhausted Omaha's
supply, as we'll as that of South Omaha.
Then kite was tried, but without success.
Saturday afternoon Silkett. with two
workmen, commenced the construction OF a
temporary ladder on which he hopes TO
reach the top, but the working space Is
cramped and II looks like almost in
terminable Job Impey, meantime, Is work
ing ON another kite and hopes finally to
get the rope over in that way.
