ENVELOPE. cHEMIsE IS NEW
Convenient Underearment Which Is
Sure to Be Appreciated by
Its Wearers. ~

. A.
I Just about the most convenient gar
ment imaginable is the new envelope
chemise. OF course, the envelope"
part isn't very new, but the corset
cover attachment Is. The envelope
chemise is made quite like the chemise
has been fashioned for years and
years. except that there is little tab
at the bottom which buttons the
chemise up into pair Of panties and
short underskirt combined. When the
corset cover is attached the chemise
may be used as substitute for an un.
derskirt and the corset worn right over
it, as the carriers will easily fasten over
the edge of the chemise, since it is
buttoned into the semblance of draw
ers. The corset cover is nothing more
than a deep ruffle of embroidery at
tached with a band of embroidery in
sertion, just below the low-cut neck Of
the chemise and running under the
arms This rufile has no opening and
has drawstring of ribbon or tape
about the bottom, run through a cas-
ing or through the eyelet work of the
embroidery. After the chemise is
donned the corset is slipped under this
ruffie and fastened, and the ruffle is
then drawn in about the waist and
the corset is entirely hidden. Thus
there are really four garments in one
-underskirt, drawers, short petticoat
and corset cover, At this rate of con-
densed clothing the laundries will
have to cut down their forces. A
more economical garment than this
could not be fashioned for the woman
who boards and must pay for her

Several of the best evening frocks

buds start. STA ~.

them understand you hold the reins

PEoNlEs

No other sherbaceous plant lives SO
long or produces, flowers equal to
the peony. -
Peonies planted this autumn will
flower next season. The middle OF
September to the middle of October
is the best time to plant, preferably
the earlier season to permit the plants
to make a good root growth before
winter sets in. The soil must be rich
as tho peony is a gross feeder. 8
Remove the soil to depth of three
feet and fill up the space to the depth
of foot with well rotted COW manure.
Spade the manure in we'll. If the
soil is clayey, mix with it equal parts
Of sand, leaf and mold and manure for
the other half. Fill up the excavation
with the prepared soil, rounding it up
to the center, which should be sixSor
seven inches above the level Of the
lawn. y
In setting the plants dig a hole from
one and a half to two feet deep and
two feet wide. Allow space of three
feet in diameter for each plant, pla-
cling the crowns three inches below
the surface, firming the soil we'll
around the roots. This is best done
by the feet Of the planter. r.
Mulch we'll before cold weather
with coarse manure and leaves. In
the spring loosen the soil, after re-
moving the mulch, to depth of five
or six inches, care being taken to
stir the soil without injuring the
crowns of the plants. IT,.
Commercial fertilizer strong In pot
ash should be used in the spring
after the bed is started.

When a washable chiffon veil is
soiled fold it neatly and tack the folds
securely with basting thread. Then
wash the veil carefully in soapyl water
and rinse it in salt water to set the
color. Press the folded veil between
couple of heavy bath towels to get
water out and do not wiring it at all.
When as much water has been
pressed out as it is possible to get
out cut the hastings and pull them
Lay one edge of the veil straight on
the ironing board and iron it dry with
a moderately hot iron. Then iron each
of the other sides dry and then iron
the middle of the veil until it, too, Is
dry. ~ IA ~ {.s..
BY ironing the edges first the veil
can be ironed without stretching or
pulling out of shape. .e: Il
Lay the veil fiat on bed for an
hour or two after it is ironed. II 1t is
ironed in this way 1t will keep its
shape and will not wrinkle easily.

Never have they been more beautiful,

Keep the cuttings shaded. Another
good way to make cuttings is in a
small earthen crock without drain

inch or two Of the top. Insert the
