white petticoats were coming in again:
that much they knew. but the DUST

And petticoats are here. Even Worth
has consented to originate some, and
half the shops are doing good busi+
ness in these discarded garments. Those
who have not bought new ones are
bringing out the shelved product of an
other epoch. Several new ones have
featherbones in the hem. or about the
knees to make the outer skirt stand

Bedroom Furniture.

IT HERE is an unusual sort of cre-
tonne bedroom furniture, really
white enameled furniture with cre-
tonne insets. The single beds, which
cost $3.50. show a panel of cretonne
set in the head and the foot. and the
sides of the box springs are covered
with the cretonne. Then, of course,
there is the usual cretonne valance
around, the bottom of the bed, ere
tonne spread and cretonne covered
bolster or pillow holder. There is a
chiffonier for $50. the top covered with
cretonne and then with glass, and in

similarly finished and the chairs are
finished with cretonne cushions as well

A LITTLE GIRLS UNDERWEAR

SIMPLICITY and daintiness should
~ be the first consideration when
~ making children's underwear. SO
for this reason the material selected
should be the finest one can afford to
buy. and the sewing as neat and accu
rate as, care can make it. The gar
ments should be cut on simple lines.
When making a little girls underwear,
it is imperative to consider the ques-
ton of physical comfort in its relation
to development. Correctly cut under
wear makes for the normal develop
ment and the good health of child,
Assuming that the woven underwear
has been chosen with room to spare
for it's shrnkage and the little girl
growth, let us begin with the all.im-
portant foundation. the underway.
pattern should be chosen that is de-
tage the garments which are to be sus-
pended from it. There should be three
box plaits down the body sections,
which can be ripped out later II more
generous garment Is required. Inc
buttons should be placed on these box
plaits in two rows.
The upper or petticoat row of but
tons indicates the exact waist line, the
lower or drawers row is about an lnch
below the waist line. and these but
tons should not through carelessness
remain too high IN. but all petticoat
and drawers buttons should be low

This is a method of preventing the DIS
comfort caused by Skirtbands held TOO
high under the arms. and the awkward.
bunchy look of gathers on the abdo-
men. Not only is the child so dressed
far more comfortable, but her general
appearance Is also much better. In the
garment there is sufficient length be-
low the waist line to keep it from roll
ing up around the hips. and there Is
width on the shoulders to prevent the
cutting caused by a too narrow strap
For childrens drawers longcloth,
cambric or light weight muslin is used,
while bloomers should have the same
material as the cotton. linen or WOODEN
dress In both of these garments the
fronts are now made to Mt smoothly
across the abdomen, and they are faced
to the depth of an inch with a shaped
piece cut to fit. Gathers across the
front are out of place and unnecessar-
lily bulky. At the back the drawers
are slightly gathered to band, while
the boomers are fitted smoothly with
out fullness and faced with the same
material.
Bloomars are much in use with wash
able dresses, and the necessity for
their smoothness OF mt about the waist
line would seem to have been forgot
ten Skirts or petticoats are seldom
worn with bloomers, but muslin or

Paris, especially one in fowered pink

frOCk Is merely an xtra-nlSn Slfdle

circle that is formed by the hem and

gown to dance in or to skate in. The
two diversions are promised to US all
winter. especially the datter, which
threatens to become the madness of
the hour.
When drapery with a certain amount
of stiffness is used for a frock it Is
not necessary, so the designers think,
to employ reeds or to give the new ef-
feet. They bunch the material high at
the sides or interline 1t with crinoline.

seem any way to escape the appearance
of a small waist even If one cannot
possess it.

when they were launched, and after

the extremist when the name had
passed from them.
Last winter the designers began to
put crinoline in the drapery that COW

saw the use of a ski]lfully placed

caprice, but the watchers on the tower

Crust for the Thanksgiving Pie.

The delicacy of pie crust depends not
alone upon the amount of shortening
used, but upon the light touch with
which the pastry is handled and the
proper proportion of water employed in
the mixing. Some cooking authorities
lay great stress upon the implements to
be used in making pie crust, but one
who possesses knack and little eX-
perience can make a delicate, tasty
crust. with nothing more elaborate to
work with than sheet of heavy manila
paper to be spread on table Tor the
molding board and a long,smooth bot
tie for rolling pin. Glass boards and
pins are sanitary, but quite as enectual
are the hardwood boards and the'Wood-
Ell rolling pins. The plates in which
the pies are to be baked are preferably
tin or granite. Earthenware soaks
grease in the course OF time. Pastry
-four made by the old process of grind
ing is usually considered best for pie
crust, but any good f1our Will answer.
For the shortening, butter ana lard;
half and half. is best, though Charmed
drippings of beef, chicken or pork may
be utilized To make plain pie crust,
allow for each pie one heaping cup OF
sifted flour, a scant half cup shortening,
a tablespoonful each salt and baking
powder, then cut in the lard or rub IN
with the tips of the fingers until the
flour feels annular. Add little at
time to mix to stiff dough, toss out
about a half inch in thickness.
Flour the rolling pin, roll out the
crust, with light, deft touch, put the
butter on in little dabs here and there,
sprinkle lightly with flour. roll over
and over. turn half round, pat out and
roll again. Then roll over and over
like Jelly roll and divide in the center.
If there is time, set these In the ice
