CREPE De CHINE THE BEST
Its Durability and Softness Make 1t
Ideal Material for Underwear for
Economical Woman.

The Softness of crepe gives one
chance to pack good many garments
in a small space without adding extra
weight to ones luggage. Two or three
suits can be carried in a valise and
take up only the corners of a suit
case. When one travels with such un-
derwear one does not find it hope
less mass of wrinkles at the end of
the journey. For whatever wrinkles
crepe de chine takes are easily shak-
en- out.
1t Is to the woman who must be
economical and who has very little
time at her disposal for mending and
renewing lace and embroidery that
these garments should appeal Every
woman knows what the iron does to
lace. The damage must be repaired
each week, and keeps one constantly
at the needle. OF course, the elabor-
ate crepe de chine garments for eve
ming wear are lace trimmed and there
fore are subject to the same disad-
vantage, but the everyday ones have
only bit of cluny at the neck and
armholes, and they go on for weeks
without needing stitch.
Nothing is SO extrayagant as the
reckless purchase of cheap under
wear, and that is one of our national
sins. Women who should know bet
ter indulge themselves in masses of
fiimsy finery that does not last and
looks tawdry after its first journey to
the tub Under the influence of soap
and water 1t loses whatever prettiness
1t had and besides this its stitches are
meant to last through day instead

Wear White When Travelling.

A physician who has had a good
deal of experience attending the VIC
tins of railroad wrecks sounds the
knell of the black dressing gown, silk,
muslin or wool, no matter what the
material, SO often worn by women
travelling at night.
When travelling at night women
should make it a point to wear white
even more than when sleeping safely
at home in their own beds, said this
doctor. More than once in my own
experience among railroad wrecks
have known women wearing black
travelling nightgowns or dressing
gowns to be passed by in the search
for victims.
"They had been made unconscious
by injury or else had tainted through
shock and fright; and nurses and doc
tors searching for victims failed to
find them simply because their care
fully donned black night robes MADE
them indistinguishable in the sur
rounding darkness"

DRIFTS FROM THE NURSERY
Modern Children More Analytical
Than Those of the Past-Hlnts
for the Mother of Little Ones.

Children are gowing more critical.
They demand practice as we'll as
preaching from their parents, and are
not put off with platitudes.
Time was when a patriarchal pro-
file, a snowy beard, and certain facil-
ity an freedom in quoting Scripture
were more than enough to impress a
whole family with due sense of what
it owed to the head of the house.
Something more is needed nowadays,
and the mother or father who wishes
to maintain the love and respect Of
the modern child must conform to
very high standard indeed. They
are no longer allowed to shield their
shortcomings behind the Fifth Com
mandment.
Very serviceable and economical
bibs can be made out of the medium
sizer Turkish, towel Cut it into
halves, and then divide each half
again, making in all four pieces. Cut
the plain edges of each in semi
circular form for the neck, bind these
with tape, leaving strings long enough
to tie easily Outline the bibs with
cross stitch in red cotton, and they
are ready for use.

CHARM IN DAINTINESS
QUALITY THAT MAKES FOR Sue
CESS OF THE MATINEE.
All Things Considered, Figured Ma
teriai Is the Most Desirable for
the Woman of Moderate Purse
Choice Is a Wide One.

AS a rule charm of color and mate
rial combined with daintiness of fin
ish have more to do with the success
of a dainty matinee than elaborate
ornamentation or subtlety of line.
Among the models not to be read
lily copied are the little French sacks
of fine lingerie stuff, hand made, deli
cately embroidered, inset with lace.
Charming things they are, too, these
fine lingerie matinees with their
coQuettish ribbon bows, and often a
loose lining of India silk matching
the color of the bows and providing
an additional warmth without de-
tracing from the sheer daintiness of
the sack
But the really fine embroidered lin
gerie matinee is an extravaganza, and
the lingerie model that is not fine is
a failure, SO the woman who wants
a cheap sack, requiring little trim
ming and yet attractive, is likely to
buy figured material. Some of the
figured white stuffs are admirable for

which is investigating police condi-

years study of the white slave traffic.

Mr.. London declared that his census
in New York revealed that there were
6,100 men profiting from commercial
lied vice in which $4,000 women were
involved. He charged that the police
officials aided the traffickers. He be-
lieved that only individual policemen
were concerned in the business and
doubted that the number of these Off
GERS would exceed 100 out of 10 900
men on the force.

But here again one meets the require
ment of fineness. Fortunately, even
the best materials of this sort are not
alarmingly expensive, and so little
trimming is necessary that the cost
Of the sack may be slight.
The rule to be observed in babies
clothes holds good in matinees. Trim
ming may be unpretentious, but it
must be fine If the garment is to be
successful, and coarse, careless work
robs matinee of every atom of
smartness or attractiveness. There
may be only line of beading as fin

fective design, and it should be, ap-

Figured dimity makes a delightful

little trimming, and costing a. mere
song. 1t is, perhaps, the best Of the

PLAN TO SEE WHITE ESKlMOS
Rev. w. II. Fry and Party of Natives
to Visit Strange Tribe Discovered
by Steffansson.

Edmonton, Alberta.-Bishop String
er of the Yukon diocese, the largest in
the dominion, who is returning to his
post in the north country, announced
that Rev. w. H. Fry and IL natives
are on the way to Coronation Gulf,
near the mouth of the Copper Mine
river, to visit tribe of white Eski-
mos discovered by Steffansson, an ex-
plorer. 1t is expected that the party
will reach the gulf next October, be-
fore the close of navigation.
The bishop has no doubt there are
other tribes of Eskimos in the far
north. He was stationed on Herschell
island seven years and has been as far
north as 70 degrees latitude on a whal-
ing trip. At times the thermometer
registered 50 below. He has also Wis
tied many hitherto unknown places in
northern Canada, suffering hardships
and endangering his life on numerous
occasions.

NAE cHANGEs FASHIONS.

Was there ever war that did not
exert an influence on fashions? Bo-
hemian fez-makers, it is said. are de-
ploring the prospective waning of
their once profitable branch of manu-
facture AS a result of the decline of
Islamic religion and the rise of Chris
tian prestige in southeastern Europe
the use of the fez in Thrace and Mac
edonia already has declined. A recent
writer says that apart from the In
huence of defamation of the Mahome-
tan population by the war, the Turks
who remain in Europe as subjects OF
the Christian states will soon. as for
mer examples have shown, exchange
the fez for the lambskin cap worn by
the Christian peasantry. The fez, 1t is
remarked, is merely an adaptation OF
the ancient turban, and the only thing
that matters to the Mahometan is that
his headgear should have no brim, or
even shade, SO that he may sit on the
floor of the mosque as prescribed by
the Koran with a covered head, and
yet, when saying his prapers, touch
the ground with his bare forehead. For
this ceremonial the lambskin cap
would do just as well.
