Perforated petticoats and lacy frills is
the winter lingerie formula which has
been prescribed for Chicago women. The
temperature may be below zero. but the
petticoats must be sheer enough to pack
into a vanity box. That's what the
Fashion Art league of America declared
at it's meeting in the Auditorium hotel.
Don't decide hastily that a perforated
garment is no better than none, for
the hem of the flimsy petticoat which
has been designed by the dressmakers
is topped with myriad frills, as your
grandmother was to hold out the
three or four yard hem of your gown
The petticoat OF net or lace is to be
used altogether" decided Mime. Hosac.
one of the leaders of the Fashion league.
1T is to be trimmed with lace and
ruffle upon ruffle. Organize fs pop
ular for lingerie also, as are other ex-
tremely sheer materials, but tolerate
only the sheerest. Cotton has gone
out almost entirely for fashionable un-
dergarments.
Everything is to be of lace. net or
some similar fabric and everything is
to have frills. The gowns will follow
the Louis XVI period. and will be
made to a great extent OF satin In
wide stripes. which figure two or three
colors perhaps or a floral design rum

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way Out?

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease"-nervous prostration.
The following letter shows the way
out Of the trouble:
Five years ago was a great cof-
fee drinker and from its use / be-
came so nervous l could scarcely
sleep at all nights. MY condition grew
worse and worse until finally the ply
stefan I consulted declared my trou-
bles were due to coffee.
But being so welded to the bev-
erage I did not see how could do
without it, especially at breakfast,
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
"On visit, my friends deprived me
of coffee to prove that it was harm
full. At the end of about eight days
/ was less nervous, but the craving
for coffee was intense, SO went back
to the old habit as soon as got home
and the old sleepless nights came
near making a wreck of me.
II heard of Postum and decided to
try it. / did not like it at first, be-
cause, as I afterwards discovered, it
was not made properly. l found, how
ever, that when made after directions
on the package, it was delicious.
1T, had a. soothing effect on my
nerves, and none of the bad effects
that coffee had, SO babe farewell to
coffee and have used only Postum
since. The most wonderful account of
the benefit to be derived from
Postum could not exceed my own ex-
perience.'

Children Not Naturally Destructive.

Be gentle with the child who
smashes his toys. The fault is not
his, but yours, who provided him with
toys too complicated for his Immature
little mind to understand. Dottoressa
Maria Montessori, in her lecture at
Carnegie hail, said little children were
not naturally destructive, as most par
ents had reason to suppose, but that
the instinct to pull the object to
pieces was the only natural thing for
a child to do with something it did
not understand Most toys given to
children are too complicated, Doctor
Montessori asserted.
Instead of expecting children to
amuse themselves with toys they do
not understand, mothers should as
sumo more responsibility for their
children's entertainment" she contin-
ued. 1.-The mother who drives her
child away from her side when she is
working makes pitiful mistake 1t

Minister Of Foreign Affairs Plamenat7
Is Visiting Certain European CAP
Itals to Negotiate Loan for
His Government.

Paris.-M. Planenatz. the Montene-
grin minister Of foreign affairs, who
as charge d'affairs at Constantinople
in October, 1912, did more than any
one else to precipitate the war of the
allies against Turkey, is now visiting
certain European capitals to negotiate
a loan for his government. Here and
in London he is said to have met with
pronounced success. He is also very
hopeful of Rome to make UP any bal.
ance that may be desired.
Although the feats of arms per.
formed by the Montenengrin army
were not so conspicuous as those Of
the other allies, yet this army pre-
vented the Turks in the northwest
from cutting off the Servians and
Greeks and lost about one-third of it's
total of $4,000 by so doing. The ter
rible significance of this mortality is
realized when it is remembered that
before the war the entire population
of Montenegro numbered about $780,
900.
Now, of course, things are differ
ent The population has doubled ow-
ing to the Encouragement under which
certain territories have been brought
within King Nicholas dominions.
These include great part of the
Sanjak of Novi Bazaar and the whole
of the Sanjaks Of Ipek and Jokova.
This has had the effect of doubling
the population, making it about 500,.
900, while at the same time it has
added materially to the strength OF
the country. In speaking of his
mission, M. Plamenatz says:
For five centuries we Montenegrins
have fought for Christian liberation.
and now, so far as Europe is con.
cerned, we see our task accomplished.
