A DAINTY LOUNGING ROBE
FOR THE WEEKEND VISITOR

THERE are few girls

There are so many neat

There really isn't much
difference in the two,
except that the negligee
is a more elaborate
creation and is kept by
many girls for short
weekend visits and
festive occasions.
These are the days
when the girl who has
plenty of spare time on
her hands can buy some
soft Japanese silk-or
can do what another
clever girl did-use an
old evening gown OF
crepe de chine-and
make herself a most at
tractiVe little negligee
with very little trouble.
Today's gown Is made
OF pink and white satin
striped crepe, and could
be easily developed In
any soft. clinging ma
terial. 1t is a comfort
able. practical style,
and can be rolled into
a small ball and tucked
away In ones overnight
case.
The wide frllls on the
sleeves. as well as the
deep scalloped collar,
are made OF white chlf-
fon. This Is embroid-
cred in any suitable
pattern or coloring TO
match the Wearer's
boudolr or in her favor

closes tightly together
by means Of snap fast
eners all the way down

make a decidedly APP
propriate gift for the

day ln the summer
months-or any other

She also discovered this when all the

Another curious and disappointing fact IN

He is so strong, so virile. She is so

The candid friend spoke n great truth.
There is a strong attraction In opposites,
