OF course. you won't write to him,

ters of sincere appreciation OF any
artists work help to make that work
more enjoyable, but 'mash notes"
well. they're Just waste of the writ

are never taken seriously, which is a
very good thing for scores of matinee

NEW AND CHARMING WAIST
BY MAY MANTON

The blouse that is made with a
shaped peplum is very new and very
charming. This one is equally pretty
for the entire gown and for the blouse
to be worn in combination with the
coat suit. The little revers on the
front are peculiarly effective, and
when the waist is designed for wear
with the coat suit they can be made
of material to match the skirt, so
giving the complete costume idea.
Almost every kind of sleeve is fash
ionable this season, and the fancy
ones shown on the figure and the
plain ones in the back view are
equally correct. Round necks are
pretty whenever they are becoming.
and they are unauestionably fashion
able, but there is a tiny little stock
collar and chemisette that can be
added when occasion demands. This
blouse is made of black charmeuse,
with trimming of velvet, and vest and
collar of white satin, but there are
SO lA1Ay A0biANo NAehN -
adapted to such use that one can
hardly go astray. Broche crepe would
be lovely in place of the black char
meuse. or moire crepe could be used
with the trimming just as illustrated.
When used as the entire gown. the
model is a good one for the fashion
able silk and also for the pretty wool
materials that are being utilized for
simple afternoon wear.
For the medium size the blouse
with the fancy sleeves viii require
25s yards of material 27. 1Ss yards s6,
III yards a. inches wide. with y yard
"a inches wide for the collar and vest.
ss yard u for the revers and cuffs, 1

make with plain sleeves will be re-
quired 81 yards "a, 2 yards 56, 17k

The May Manton pattern of the
blouse. 1917, is cut In sizes from "a to

THE VARIOUS PHASES
OF VANITY CASES
~

A jeweled vanity case in gold-or
in gilded metal, which looks equally
well and cost many dollars less
adds greatly to the luxurious ensem-
ble Of an afternoon street costume Of
velvet and fur. The newest cases
measure fully four by six inches ana
are very thick through, thus afford
ing space for all of the articles which
usually are carried in a small-sized
handbag of handsome pelt Sunken
into the lid of the case is a mirror
of satisfactory size, since it reflects
the eyes and the chin instead of
merely the tip of the nose. In the
lower or box section are receptacles
for change, bills, delicately perfumed
face powder and-"Truth is mighty
and must prevail'-lip paint.
II the price of one of these large
vanity cases is prohibitive. by all
means cultivate the contented state
of mind which is the secret of hap
piness, and buy a small-sized vanity
case. Have it in gold, if its price can
be saved from the dress or house
keeping allowance, otherwise of py-
roxylin or tortoise shell design, in
laid on one side with a pattern of
gold. These smaller and moderately
priced cases also come in silver.
gun metal and Persian ivory. Their
equipment consists of a note pencil
and card-holder in addition to the
usual vanity" necessities.

Good Night
Dear Miss Doom :

Dear Miss Doom:
enjoy very much reading your advice
In the Newark Evening Star, and hope
you will answer as soon as possible in
the evening paper. l have known gem
tleman for some time past and generally
meet him in the evening. AS he leaves
me he wishes to kiss me good night
am not engaged to him. Is it proper for
me to let him kiss me or not2 Hoping to
hear from you soon and thanking you in
advance, ANXIOUS.
Most decidedly NOT. Your kisses
belong to only one man, and that is
the one you are quite positive will
be the only man for the rest of your
days. Even when a girl is sure or
this she should wait for the knowledge
to come to the other party and the
agreement to be entered into before
she permits a caress. If a girl would
only realize how every liberty she
permits cheapens her she would
check the first advance on the part
of man. In this matter there is
no such thing as being too reserved.

THE POPULAR CHEMIsETTE

The transparent chemisette is SO
Indispensable part of ones cos
tune this year that it becomes quite
an item in ones expense account
unless 1t be made at home. There
are just few little points that
make or mar the style of this seem
ingly unimportant little guimpe, but
If one has mastered these details it
is a very simple matter to make six
or eight of them at home in leisure
moments. The material itself is the
first consideration. and this is deter
mined by the size and style of the
chemisette. II it is not much more
than a collar. shadow lace or a fine
net, a cream or pinkish tone may be
used. While If it is more of a vest,
extending to the bust line or lower,
to these materials one may add fine
organdie or null. with two strips of
German valenciennes insertion or of
cluny or Irish crochet. running from
neck TO waistline.
The collars should be very high,
going up to quite point at the line
of ones hair at the back. A row of
insertion at the top of the collar and
another at the lower edge with a
picquot edge at the top of the collar,
il Irish lace be used, or a tiny VAL
enciennes edge to match the inser-
ton, adds a dainty touch. Many of
the French pictures show row of
tiny white linen buttons, put very
close together down the centre Of
the vest in front to simulate an
opening, while the same buttons
are used with loops at the back to
really fasten the collar and yoke.
These buttons may be purchased for
four cents dozen and require about
twelve to eighteen for each guimpe.
ANY of these made of shadow net
or any sort of lace should have lin
ing Of fiesh-colored net, which is
sold at the lace or chiffon counters
for this purpose. anu liis ~ Vhe oi
the most important touches that
must not be overlooked, for it adds
much chic to ones costume. The
organdy or null ones should be OF
white material and unlined.
The collar must be well boned, with
those invisible twisted wires that all
most everyone prefers-these should
be inserted between the lace and the
lining.
A bone or wire should be sewed
firmly into place at each side of the
closing at the back. also one under
each ear, and II ones collar has a

for this. Boil it until tender and

and one tablespoon Worcestershire
sauce. Butter ramekins, put in a
layer of fish, then one of sauce until
the dish is full, having the last layer
