Straight-Line NegIiges.

NEGLLGE and indoor garments follow
~ the line of costumes for more cere-
monious occasions. All fullness is cut
out of the skirt section. and straight-line
gore skirt patterns are replacing the for

Indoor dress. Plain materials will be
more fashionable than fancy ones Only

Evening wraps have furnished many
ideas for the best designs In indoor
dresses and garments this season. The
iounging coat is modelled very much on
the same lines as the outdoor garment.
Success has been won by those extremely
simple one-piece, coatlike garments,
which wrap the figure like a kimono.
They are sufficiently different in design
to bear the stamp of novelty. Some Of
the most attractive models are reversible,

of the embroidery forms the front panels,

Palms and Ferns.

DALMS require good sofia soil in
which corn would flourish. They do
not need great deal of pot room, and
should be repotted very seldom. But they
should have an abundance of water, and
should never be allowed to get dry. Too
much sunlight will have the effect of dis
coloring the leaves; too little water also
takes away the green color. 1t is good
plan to water the plants with water of
the same temperature as the room, and
sponge both sides of the leaves with tepid
water as often as they become dusty.
Palms and ferns. like other plants, do
not require high temperature, but
should have an equal one. A too hot sun
and too dry atmosphere will cause the
leaves to dry out and get brown. Drafts
are also injurious to the sensitive plants.
1t is an excellent idea, as all florists will
testify. to water ferns and palms with
weak, cold tea, and afterward work the
tea leaves into the soil Of the plant at the
roots This aids in making healthy-look-
ing plants.
Table ferns, when they have proper
care, should last for two months or more.
They should never be allowed to become
chilled, should never be soaking wet and
be kept at a temperature of between 60
and 20 degrees. They should be watered
every day, but not too much. AS soon as
the leaves begin to turn yellow cut them
off down near the roots.

this sort are made in regulation shirt
style with turned-back cuffs, button
through collar, front Dleat and small
pocket. They are worn with tailored
suits of serge and mohair or with suits
of mixed worsteds, though, of course,
when the suit is of mixed material a
blouse of plain color is the best choice.
White satin shirts cut in this simple
mannish style are much fancied with
suits of tan and brown mixed worsted
but when the suit has a dreSSy character
as most of the gray cutaway French
suits assuredly have-the dressier type of
blouse makes a better ensemble, and all
French blouses have this dreSsy char

adores the trim, capable-lookng, mannish

Two typically Partisan blouses for wear
with street suits in tailored style are
pictured. One of these blouses, designed
by Bauer to accompany a Riviera suit
of khak-colored silk serge, is of KHAKI
and black changeable taffeta with braid
ing and button motifs in black. The ar
rangement of the buttons-three on each
side, with buttonhole motifs made with
fancy braiding, is most interesting. The
other French blouse is also by Bauer
and has a strong oriental suggestion, the
upper part of the blouse suggesting the

row outstanding frill of black net at the
throat, with a trimming of fringe below
it, is much worn in Paris just now,
though one can scarcely say that these
frills at the neck are becoming to many
women.
Both of these Bauer blouses show the
sleeve cap or shoulder dropped to the
upper arm, the sleeve emanating from
this low armhole and having quite a BIZ
of fullness at the elbow, while cuff fin
ishes the lower portion. This sleeve
which some call the 'early Victorian
style, divides favor with the straight

the Gibson pleat has been revived, after
an absence of several seasons. This
blouse is made of fine white lawn with a

and the broad Gibson pleats cover the
armholes and give the front a graceful
