AUTUMN BRIDES HAVE TEMPTING ARR
OF LINGERIE TO MAKE sELElzL

NEVER did the shops show more
/ tempting lingerie than they do
this autumn. Probably that is a
statement made every season. For
each season lingerie does appear to be
lovelier than ever before
In the last few years. however, since
chl1ron and crepe de chine have been SO
largely used for negliges and lingerie,
there is note Of beauty about under
wear that 1t has never before had. The
fast1d1ous woman always demands lin
ger1e that can be easily washed, and
some of the new lingerie. fur trimmed,
flower trimmed and made of silk and
satin, must be sent to the dry cleaner
But crepe de chine, wash taffeta and
other wash silks can all be laundered
as satisfactorily as muslin.
AS for the little silk flowers that are
used for trimming. they can be removed
whenever the garment they trim is
laundered, and when they are soiled
they can be dipped in gasoline and so
cleaned thoroughly. Some of them can
even be treated to a bath in soapsuds,
then rinsed and shaken until most Of
the water is out of them. They should
be pinned to towel and hung in the
air, but not in the sun, to dry. They
should be shaken two or three times
in the drying.
Crepe de chine underwear is generally
lace trimmed, but some of 1t is seal

This is the time to bring the gar

THIS is the time to bring the gar
den into the house, II you want
to have flowers throughout the
winter. And of course you do want to
have flowers in the house, If you are a
garden lover.
A house garden is rather discouraging
under ordinary conditions. Leaves will
turn yellow and fall off when the plants
they grow on are overheated or chilled
and it is practical certainty that the
plants. some of them. will become over
heated or chilled before the winter is
over. But new plants can be substituted
for those that die. and even chilled or
too-heated plant will respond to careful
nursing. So start out to accept the
hazards Of your indoor gardening with
smile, and you will enjoy it.
To begin with, there should be many
bulbs. They should be planted imme-
diately. unless they already have been
planted. They should be put in pots or
boxes in the bottom Of which is layer
of clinkers, cinders or broken pots to in
sure good drainage. Then rich but
sandy soil should be put in the boxes or
pots, with sand about the bulb. It is a
good plan to mix good garden soil with
about half its bulk Of old manure. But
be sure to put sand about the bulb, as
manure coming in contact with 1t eats H.
AS soon as the bulbs are planted put
them in a cool place. They can be put
in a box sunk in the earth in the garden.
covered with leaves and boards, and left
there until early next month. when they
should be put in cool cellar or closet.
where it is dark. They can be gradually
taken into warm light as they are want,
light room until their leaves are strong
and the buds show. and then they should rour
tn blossom. They must make good.
strong roots in the dark before they are
first moved.
time for spring bulbs, the kind that are
usually grown in the house, Is before the
sun has become very warm. They thrive
in a cool temperature. So do not make
the mistake Of putting your bulbs IN a
room that is too hot. Give them plenty
of air, plenty Of water after the buds
appear and keep them moderately cool.
