cloth with imitation cluny lace around square neck and edging the short kimono sleeve. A row of ribbon run finish inside the lace edge. There is a fad for adding scant fiounces at the lower edge of nightgowns and the fin- ish is rather graceful, though 1t gives the gown the effect of a wrapper and the straight, slender, clinging effect of the long hemmed gown Is consid- cred by most women more pleasing.
 The combination corset-cover and pantalon pictured Is another trous- seau garment and Is made of sheer handkerchief linen with trimmings of Irish and cluny lace. The corset-cover Is fitted by means of pintucking at the waist.
 Corsets are softer and more supple than ever, though very careful cut ting and fitting makes the soft ma terial hold its shape with a minimum of boning. Beneath the corset is worn a union garment of silk, silk and wool-if one feels the cold great ly-or of fine nainsook. A new chem- ise-pantalon of nainsook is much liked for wear beneath the corset. This lit- tie garment includes soft chemise edged at neck and armholes with fine embroidery or lace and very short pantalon trimmed to match. The gar ment Is all in one and is so soft that 1t makes no bulk whatever under the corset.
 Glove silk combinations are lux urious for the woman who can af- ford them and these dainty glove silk garments come in delicate colors as well as white, with embroideries iike those which make the embroidered silk gloves so pretty.

 Accessories That Count.
 When one wears simple tailored suits and simple frocks. the little be- Iongings of the costume are very inn portant considerations. One must have perfect boots, hat possessing chic and character, impeccable gloves and neckwear that will lend an air of modern modishness to the street cos- tune. These dainty and telling &C.,

woman who has her tailored suits made to order by a custom tailor and this is often the best plan when expensive alterations are called for In ready-to-wear garments - should se- cure from the tailor an extra yard or two of material with which she can alter the skirt another season if style changes demand.
 As a general rule the best division of the dress allowance is as follows: One winter suit, one winter coat, which may be worn as 8 motor coat in summer one trotabout frock of serge or light worsted, one elaborate frock of crepe de chine, charmeuse. broad cloth or some similar material, one evening gown, one lightweight suit of worsted or mohair material for spring and fall wear, one linen suit for midsummer wear, one simple foul lard or pongee dress, one rather hand some lingerie frock. These are the simple essentials of wardrobe which must meet the needs of an average woman who takes part in an average round of social duties and pleasures. The list does not cover hats. boots, summer frocks, evening wraps or the long list of accessories. such as neck wear, handbags, parasols and other small belongings, which go to make up the dainty correctness of the well dressed woman. b
 The good looking tailored suit H., lustrated is the sort of model that one may pick up at an attractive price after the rush of first purchasers is over and high-priced models are be- ginning to be marked down to at tract late shoppers. This suit is built of dark blue serge and Is simple in cut and design, though the white silk stitching and trimming of pearl but tons lend 1t individuality and dis tinction. A worsted suit in the win ter and one of mohair or similar fab lric will be a practical fnvestment for 'the average woman-provided there specially cold or stormy days in mid winter. A handsome set of furs will lend distinction to the simple suit. and if well made and accompanied by dainty boots and gloves and a smart hat, in addition to the rich furs, 1t will be quite suitable for all formal occasions during the day.
 The woman who must economize buys her furs very, carefully. She sees to it that the skin is soft and pliable which means properly dressed, and that the fur is the kind coming in and not Just going out. Most furs last three years in favor and at pres- ent the brown furs are looming in." Fox. skunk. brown marten. mink, bear and wolf are very fashionable and there is special craze for the

 nowadays are made of about half the material that went into them former ly, and the new petticoats are so soft and limp that they have no substance whatever, beneath the gown-a very different condition from the time, not so very long ago, when thick petti coats of muslin, stiffly starched were worn to make the foot of the gown stand well away from the feet. The new petticoat does not come anywhere near the feet; it stops short at the ankle, if it Is dancing petticoat trim med with lace, fine embroidery and ribbons; and half way between the knees and the ankle. if 1t is simpler affair for use with the tailored skirt. These abbreviated petticoats are de- lightfully comfortable. for while giv- ing one the satisfactory feeling of having a petticoat on, beneath the gown, they leave the limbs free in walking and the skirt over them takes on the slender, clinging lines at the foot now considered graceful and fashionable.
 When silk petticoat is worn 1t is as soft and limp as the model of tub material and is guiltless of a dust ruff1e. the scant little fiounce being placed at the edge of the rather short skirt. These silken petticoats never fall below the top of the buttoned walking boot and show only when the skirt is lifted in crossing gutter or stepping from vehicle. Fine white machine embroidery is liked better for wash petticoats than lace, though the latter is used on very coquettish pet ticoats for evening wear. Yet even these models are trimmed with em- broidery. exqufsitely fine patterns on a sheer ground being used.
 The beautiful petticoat illustrated, like the nightgown and combination garment. is part of a trousseau now being prepared for a November bride This petticoat is made of nainsook and has a deep f1ounce of eyelet .em- broidery, the fiounce being attached to the nainsook by a wide valen- ciennes' lace insertion. It will be noted that the 1ounce is attached almost without gathers so that the petticoat is no more than a yard and three quarters wide at the foot. and the strips of insertion running down into the flounce add to the daintiness of

A HEERNESS, simplicity and slen- derness are the three S's which
 M cover modern lingerie garments. v Everything that is worn beneath the frock is as straight. as narrow and as soft as it can possibly be. so that there shall be absolutely no ex- tra bulk of material to spoil the lines of the outer costume. Fashionable simplicity is the thing in lingerie now, and this is fortunate for the woman who must economize, for the loveliest undergarments may be concocted at very little expense and with a mini mum of labor.
 The most radical change In under wear in the past few seasons has been in the petticoat. Petticoats

1 HE woman who must dress on a ~ modest allowance may not ip-
 dulge in fancies. She must - sternly curb her longing for pretty things and keep always in mind the tiresome remembrance of necessi- ties that may not be omitted If one Is to be clad like a gentlewoman from top to toe. Rubber overshoes, woolen union suits and rainy day petticoats are homely and uninteresting things enough. but they have to be pro- vided if one is to maintain ones sar- torial self-respect-apd that, by the way, Is pretty important factor in the makeup of a gentlewoman. There are women who can be happy in feathered hats. satin boots and broad cloth gowns, knowing that under heath are muslins so worn and ragged that one would be ashamed to un- dress before a critical woman friend. There are women who buy handsome furs. or velvet coats, well knowing that they must wear soiled and rusted corsets and stockings past even the redemption of the alarming needle for the remainder of the season, but one cannot believe that the innate gen. s. Even though simple. everything must be perfect-made of the best mate rial possible and ept in exquisite condition.
 Planning the Seasons Wardrobe
 Ahead.
 Accessories should be bought at a season's beginning; furs, elaborate hats and garments at midseason. The later one buys furs, the better, from a price standpoint. Styles in these wearables change little, and the handsome set of fox or wolf, bought ct a marked down price in February or March, will be perfectly correct for wear the following autumn. It is the woman who has things left over to wear at the beginning of new season while she Is making up her mind. who is able to dress most economically.
 There are certain wearables, how ever. that are best purchased at the seasons beginning. Hats and boots are among these. For some reason or other shoe departments or stores never seem to carry enough sizes of the boot that is most wanted, and if one has to wait for recorders 1t may prove inconvenient, since all the shoe stores seem to be re-ordering at the same time. Therefore the boot SUD- ply should be attended to early, and there is no trouble about making up

THE woman who starts out on a

 A who is travelling from place to place on business, should carry in her travelling bag or suitcase some appli- ance for heating water quickly. Hot water may not always be obtained on the instant at the small hotel or boarding house, and even when visit ing one is often too far from the bath room hot water supply to make the attainment of this luxury on frosty mornings an easy matter. There are compact little alcohol stoves which como packed in pint covered sauce pans. The handle of the saucepan folds lovingly around the utensil: the stove comes apart and fits inside and the whole outfit takes up scarcely any room ct ell in the travelling bag.

BOOTS FOR THE RAINY DAY.

A NEW rough weather boot in laced
 ~ style is made of tan leather with a perforated vamp. stout welted sole and medium heel. These boots may be wiped off with ordinary soap and water when soiled, and 1t is said that the most obstinate stains and soil spots yield to this very simple treat ment, the application of water in no way injuring the original color and luster of the tan leather. Daintier boots in buttoned style may also be had made of this leather. but the storm boots have a natty look with rainy day togs.
