American women are quick to realize
the great advantages that bungalow life
offers during the summer, whether the
vacation is to last only for few weeks
or to extend over q period Of several
months Many families who can AFFORD to
live In an elaborate way during the COM
ing months prefer this simple mode Of
life. When one has taken a bungalow
for the summer, of course, elaborate
entertaining is out of the question. and
and this is what the majority Of women,
wish to avoid during the warm weather.
However, IL is neither necessary nor de-
sirable to cut ones self on entirely from
ones friends, and there is no necessity
for this, If when selecting the summer
home it is seen there is an extra bedroom
that can be used for guests.
One of the greatest advantages of liy-
ing this way during the summer is
that very few clothes will be required,
and that those that are necessary need
be neither costly nor elaborate. In fact
the wise woman will arrange TO have as
few as il is possible to get along with
comfortably. This idea will be carried
out In her undercIothes as well as in
her morning dresses and afternoon
frocks.
Economy In Laundry To BE Consid-
when planning an outfit of this kind
economy in laundry should be taken
IN consideration 1t is always more or
less diflcult to.have this work done salts
factoriIy and even when competent help
can be procured it is expensive and
troublesome Much expense, trouble and
annoyance may be eliminated If all the
underclothes are left unironed. Nova
days many people do this, even with the
regulation cotton wesSes, and, md II
satisfactory, but for those who hesitate
10 depart from trodden road and take
their lingerie from the line to the bou-
doir, without first having It pressed, man
ufacturers provide cringled weaves OF
cotton which offer an excellent excuse
for this neglect, as a pressing is really
ruinous TO their good appearance These
materials, whether bought by the yard
or in ready-to-wear clothes garments,
are no more expensive than the old
fashioned cottons and they wear quite

seersucI1er Lingerie Saves Ironing.
The knitted union suits for some rea-
son are not as popular as they once
were, although many women still wear
them. The crinkled cottons have prop
ably brought this change about for the
unioh suits long claim on life was the
advantage il had over cottons IN not
requiring ironing. The great majority OF
women still-wear the gauze knitted
vests, but prefer the separate drawers
OF seersucker. With the mode of dress
either garment can be changed at any
time. which. on the whole, is more satis-
factory.
Corset covers are next to be consid-
cred. and these may also be Of the seer
sucker. Thread lace will make the best
trimming for them, as it does not re-
quire ironing to make it presentable. The
edge of this lace can be pulled over the
end Of the finger and will look much
better than if ironed. Petticoats are a
thing Of the past with many women,
and with many of the frocks and
dresses there is no reason why they
should be worn. Particularly is this
true in summer, for one is much cooler
and more comfortable without them, but
for the conservative. who still feel that
they must be a part Of the wardrobe,
seersucker should be taken in considera-
ton. For this purpose both the white
and the colored weaves are used, prefer
ence being given to the colored, except
