Handy Things to Have About the House

a rubber suction cup that will hold the
mirror to the wall wherever the light

A kneeling mat of rushes which may
be bought for sixty-five cents has a
convenient handle, and should prove a
boon in any home Around the front
and sides of the mat is an upright por-
ton about four inches high which pro-
tects the front Of the skirt and knees
from the splashing of water.
The favorite style Of electric toaster
is that having a door at each side. on
which the bread is laid, which swings
outward and downward. When it is
in operation the doors are closed; racks
open out at the top on which finished
toast is kept warm.

CIuny lace is probably the most pop
ular Of Iaces for lingerie trimming, al
though flet and the French and Ger
man vaIenciennes are also used a great
deal. Madeira embroideries are often
combined with the val laces, as are me-
dalIions Of embroidery and lace. All
trimming is kept very fat however,
so as to preserve the slim lines so nee
essary to the present modes.
Dream gowns, or more prosaically,
night robes, show few new features.
The sIip-over styles remain on the crest
Of feminine favor, because Of their
simplicity and comfort. Cotton crepe,
so well liked for summer lingerie, be-
cause of the ease with which it is
Numbered, bids fair to be used consid-
erably this winter, especially for the
gowns. It is not only labor-saving, but
most attractive, particularly in the
dainty Dresden or ring designs.
Somewhat more expensive, but very
soft and lovely are the crepe de chine
garments that are gaining the increas-
ing consideration of the mOdish woman.
For five and six dollars one can OBJ
tain a beautiful gown in delicate pink
or blue crepe de chine, charmingly
trimmed with Cluny lace, and most
desirable combinations as low as four.
Crepe de chine is also being used to
some extent in the new petticOats,
These have considerable more fullness
at the bottom, although the tops re-
main gored snugly. and the finishing
rufles are really scanty. being some

whether the Cleopatra rest robe
will ever displace the comfortable,
often picturesque, and more often
slovenIy, kimona is uncertain, but there
is no doubt of its tremendous vogue
in Paris, and little that it will gain
immediate favor here.
1t suggests rather the one-piece frock
than the negIigee, made as it is some
what in the form Of the slip-over night
gowns with the kimona sleeves. An
elaborate gown of this description,
which could be produced in the simplest
fabrics to good effect, had a founda-
ton Of orange colored silk yelled with
watermelon pink voile 1t was cut
from one length Of material so that
the only seams were those running
from under the arms TO the feet. The
strip Of fabric at the center was shaped
to fit about the base of the throat, and
was slit across and over the shoulders
where the garment was fastened with
ball buttons Of bronze beads. An at
tractive band Of bronze-colored stencil
ing formed the border about the bot
tom Of the skirt, the neck and the
sleeves. Brown silk piped the sleeves
and the edge OF the neck, and long
cords Of bronze and gold beads hung
from Just under the arms on either
side. The woman who is clever with
her needle will at once recognize the
possibilities suggested by this interest
ing negligee.

Investigators Want to Know Who Fur

Washington. D c.. Dec. 26.-An effort
to extend the senate campaign fund in
VestigatiOn to cover the presidential
fight of 1912 will be made by Champ
Clark, chairman of the investigating
committee, soon after congress recon-
venes. The investigation has been lin
tied by the senate resolution to the
1904 and 1908 presidential campaigns
and the 1912 fight prior TO the nOmi-

The senate will probably be asked to
pass an additional resolution charging
the commits power, unless it is
found possible to go into the recent
fight under the authority now pos
seSSed by the committee.

mittees filed expense statements this
