III ERE is fascinating negligee made
n of lace and trimmed with very
narrow bands of fur, for which mara
bout or swansdown may be substi-
tuted, or the very smart and fashion
able quilted ribbon. Made on the same
lines, the gay lowered voiles and
mulls make possible the prettiest and
daintiest of all garments for boudoir
and breakfast wear.
This little sacque could hardly be
more simply cut. 1t is slightly full
at the back and smartly gathered in
below the waist line to narrow strap
of ribbon. The opening at the neck is
finished with a double row of chiffon.
The sleeves are set in, hang straight,
and reach to the elbow. Here a ruffle
of fine wide lace is sewed in which
falls to the hands.
Under this negligee a trained petit
coat of crepe-de-chine, finished with q
flounce of wide shadow lace falls close
to the figure and is undraped. A bodice
of lace and ribbon (Which might be
called corset cover, if any corset
were worm is glimpsed through the
semi-transparent material of the neg

New Russian Blouse.

The youthful Russian blouse that
has been so effective among the win
ter wardrobes, will be used during the
spring in all the gorgeousness of our
new and beautiful Oriental colors.
They will be worn with plain colored
skirts, THAT make the arrangements
convenient and often economical, as a
skirt of any subdued tone will always
be in harmony with these rich ma
terials, and will serve as foil to
bring out that particular coloring from
the combination. Beside a good skirt
may be bought reacy to wear at the
sales for very little. and the making
of Russian blouse is the work of a
few hours at home. The silks for
these show the richest reds. yellows.

here, and is a type of the greater
number of the caps which are worn.
These caps are made of all sorts of
fancy laces-the metal laces among
others-and of tulle and silks. Rib
bons, beads, jeweled bands, and en-
broideries help out in their construc-
ton.
The ribbon used for the cap shown
in the picture is about three inches
wide and is in one of those reddish
yellow tones which are classed as the
Tango color" There is a rosette
with long hanging ends. of satin rib

finished with a bow which ornaments
and weights them. A covered disk
made of the wider ribbon finishes the

his hose. He had two great big eyes
that stuck out on the sides of his head
as big as rubber balls, and each eye
had hundreds and hundreds of little
eyes all over it, so that he could see
better. That Is why it is so hard for
you to catch fly with your hands. He
can see behind him as we'll as he
can see in front, and he can jump and
fly away quicker than wink.
Besides the funny tongue and the
funny eyes, this fly had two of the low
Hest wings, that you could see right
through, and they were colored just
like the rainbow. When he folded
them up they were right on top of his
back, and that was where he had
them when he crawled out of the pile
of straw and sat still in the sun to
dry his wings, for they were very new
and wet.
AS soon as they were dry he spread
them out and flew away. Like all
other flies he was very naughty, and
probably you would like to know just
what he was going to do. First he few
over and lighted on the old horses
back and bit him real hard, and then
he went over and bit the poor cow.
Wasn't that too bad! They chased
him away by switching their tails at
him, so he hurried over to the
screen door that led into the kitchen

opened, in he slipped, as sly as you
please.
There on the table was some nice
cake for supper, so he went over and
lighted on that and ate some of 1t
without asking permission of any
body.
After this he crept into the garbage
pail where he got his feet very dirty
and then he flew right over to little
baby brother in the high chair and
wiped them on baby's face.
The Sandman was angry when he
saw the fly do all these naughty tricks
! and he made up his mind that this fly
would have to go to Jail. He slipped
up beside the fly and whispered in his
ear that there was some sugar out in
! the barn and he had better hurry up
and get it. The fly jumped up into the
air as soon as he heard about the
sugar and flew out to the barn and
the Twins and the Sandman went right
after him to see the fun. AS soon as
the spider heard the fly coming he
poked his shining gold head out of his
tunnel and the fly saw 1t and thought
it was sugar so he flew right over and
| lighted IN the eDfder's NET
There he stuck fast because when
he tried to get away the hooks on the
net held him tight, and the great big
red and gold and black spider skipped
across the web and tied the naughty
! fly up with whole lot Of his silver
rope And that served him just right.

Call for the Dominic.

A clergyman's small daughter was
sent to bed supperless just before her
fathers return from a short trip.
Hearing him enter some time later.
the young lady called down:
Mamma, want to see daddy"
There was no response from below
A moment later:
Mamma, please let daddy get me

When that, too, failed. a small
white figure came to the head Of the
stairs and said sternly:

woman. must see my pastor at

Needless to say, her pastor went

On white satin evening gown there
is a tunic of white beads, strung in
long strings that reach from the waist
almost to the hips, where they are
looped under and held firmly to the

placed so close together that only

The cap of ribbon and lace is q
modest design which will look well
with the average dancing frock. This
last, by the way, is to be gay and

not to be forgotten.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

Two weeks from today will be
Christmas Day and it is time that
the Christmas spirit should be per-
m ,ating the bones of the old as we'll
as the young. We should not wait
pntil Christmas Day and the holidays
before allowing ourselves to become
thoroughly imbued with the spirit OF
Christmas. Some may say that it Is
too early; others, that there is no way
to get the real Christmas spirit until
Christmas Day arrives. Both are
wrong, as there are many ways in
which the same may be- instilled int
our minds and hearts. We can do
our shopping early, thus bringing
about relief to the busy merchant
and his employees, so that when
the real festive season begins they
may in freshness join with US IN the
proper and spirited celebration Of
Christmas. We can spread our char
i.y outside of the home in giving
food and clothing to the poor and
providing sweets and other dainties
for their little ones. There is many .
home where Santa Claus il unknow n.
and where Christmas is ii nply known
as December the 25th. Those who
would have the true Xmasfrirt should
