Empire Gown of Fine Linen.

ard as this modern vogue of silken un-
der raiment. Woman has taken up
the fad with enthusiasm, and, once ac-
customed to the luxury and comfort of
silken garments next the skin, almost
penny in other wearables rather than
relinquish her silk lingerie.
Crepe de chine is the favored mater
ial and pure white the favored color.
though faint pink and palest blue
crepe de chine garments of this type
are worn by women who go in for col
or scheme fads in lingerie. Some of
the underwear is very plain, with no
further garnishment than a picot edge
of lace; other models are elaborately
trimmed with lace insertions and
bandings, even little silk and chiffon
roses finding place in the trimming.
One very fetching robe du mutt in
mind at the moment is of crepe de
chine with a deep yoke and sleeves of
shadow lace laid over flesh tinted
null. and the yoke is Joined to the
crepe de chine gown under strip of
lace insertion. on which is sewed a
festoon of tiny pink rosebuds.
In contrast to this coquettish sleep
Ing robe is a nun-like little nightgown
OF white crepe de chine, rounded out
girlishly at the throat and trimmed
with a narrow picot edge of real Irish
lace. The short sleeves are also edged
with the line of Irish picot and the
neck is drawn up on a white ribbon.
But the cut of this simple little night
gown is especially graceful, for the
garment clings, without any effect of
tightness, to the ankles and feet.
Another variety of silken sleeping
wear Is the feminine night shirt, an in
novation Of this season, and just now
more the fad than feminine pajamas.
which have become too ordinary and
universally accepted now to have an
attraction for women seeking sensa-
tional effects. The feminine night shirt
Is patterned exactly after the mascu-
line one. slit at the side seams, narrow
collar, long sleeve and all These gar

FOR SILENCE AT FUNERALS S
League Is Formed In France to End
the seandaIous oisrespeet
for Dead.

Paris.-A League for the Promo
tion Of Silence at Funerals" has Just
been founded in France by a group of
persons who are disgusted with the
state into which the attendance at
burials, SO common feature of French
social life. has now fallen.
1t is stated that for some time both
religious and civil funerals have been
no more than a rendezvous for friends
and acquaintances of the deceased
person to chat over affairs of mutual
interest. as II at fashionable at
home.
On the road to Pere Lachaise ceme-
terry. 1t is said, business deals and
stock contracts are arranged, move
ments on the stock exchange decided,
listers appointed.
At the funeral mass in the chapel
things are not much better. Here
financiers employ their time to check
entries in their note books and liter
ary people take care to bring bundle
of proofs to correct.
The members OF the new league
pledge themselves not to speak at all
and to maintain a perfect and re-
spectful bearing from the beginning
to the end of the proceedings"
The movement is receiving much
support. as 1t is agreed on all sides
that the present state OF things is
nothing short of scandalous. Some
sarcastic persons are suggesting that
among the fittest members for the
league Of silence would be the singers,
who, under the pretense of honoring
the dead. make what is often an un-
seemly noise at funeral services.
