Politicians hero momentarily

the United States to the great ex-
pense of sending marines here

PRETTY EFFECTS ON LINGERIE
Most Charming of All Are the Made
Flowers of Chiffon, Though
Other Features Are Used.

The made flowers are SO altogether
lovely when they are well used that
their vogue goes steadily on. The
latest use for them is in lingerie skirts
and slips of sheer quality. Flowers
for these purposes are made of chif-
fon, and very airy and dainty they
are for their purpose. The little flow
ers are introduced in wreaths that are
single or intertwined, in garlands and
in little nosegays. The flowers for lin
gerie are of necessity tiny.
Another feature of the new lingerie
is the use of ribbon bows with fringed
ends.
Most trimmings are put on fiat for
underwear, though some persons cling
to the gathered lace ruffles, which In
deed add little if any bulk.
There is a growing liking for the
dainty Bavarian embroidery, with its
characteristic tiny hard padded de-
signs. All the daintiness of such un
derwear is usually left to the embroid-
cry without detracting from its sim
plicity by the addition of lace.
