Another thing that must be taken into
consideration when buying goods for
negligees. is that for the majority OF
models only a small number OF yards is
required to complete a garment. This

One Of the newest developments Is
known as the lap apron. This consists
Of a perfectly square piece of soft white
goods, hemmed all around. When fin-
ished il is about the size Of a large silk
handkerchief. At the four corners-or
rather in about four inches from each
point. are sewn tiny celIuloid rings, and
ribbon is run through these. The pur-
pose of this apron is to hold your fancy
work, and when you get up you simply
gather up the ribbons which are run
through the rings, and your work. your
apron, and little bag are all in one.

number OF distinguished women Of the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were

Quakers. One Of the most exemplary OF
these was Martha Routh. who was born

SIMPLICITY KEYNOTE
OF PICNIC COMFORT

At home or on ones summer travels
the picnic bulks large. At home the
tedium is broken at intervals by a picnic
and the average vacation is but a series
Of picnics. the difference being that at
home one usually knows well ones picnic
haunts, while away there's the element
of adventure. Picnic dress is along the
same lines. At home picnic attire means
simply the fresh frock of gingham, linen,
or kindred weave. while picnic gear when
travelling is, as a rule, more conventional,
the serge, gabardine, or silk in which
one journeys serving.
But there's a difference. The home pic
mic is a lounge. so to speak, while the
travel picnic is as much a matter of
sightseeing as mere breathing, eating,
and resting.
Ricnfc Eats.
Picnic refreshments range from bite
carried in the pocket to an elaboration
served from the latest in hampers. And,
indeed, the hampers vary from more or
less simple baskets to wonders contain
ing every possible convenience and ele-
gance. Motor picnics are great fSp, as
the participants may picnic far from the
maddening crowd. Sandwiches are time
honored picnic foods, being compact to
pack, dainty to handle, and easy to eat
There is no limit to their variety, and
with a little fruit and tea, coffee. or lem
onade, the all-fresco feast is complete.
Most of US think the picnic feast is a
mistake. Let there be- dainty food and
enough Of il. but when It comes to both
ering to take tables, tableclothes. and a
great quantity of food the picnic has
vanished. Such a meal might better be
gotten at home and short excursion
made into the greenwood afterward-
Picnic Dress.
Picnic dress should be along the same
lines as already suggested.
The few hours of the simple life which
we call a picnic mast not be marred by
clothes worry.
So eat, dress simply, and be merry-the
picnic season comes but once a year
