New Lingerie.

Lingerie is mostly light, pretty and
frivolous. Crepe de chine and chiffon
make lounge gowns that are ideal, as
well as underwear. Such materials
need careful washing, but many rest
gowns OF them are trimmed with fur
and flowers and have to be cleaned,
which is expensive. Crepe de chine
and tub silk do not demand 80 much,
and the little silk flowers are easily
removed and restored. They give =
pretty finish, and wash easily with
soapsuds, If well rinsed and well
shaken. Lace is often superseded by
embroidered scalloped edgings, which
add considerably to the length of their
existence; but muslin and batiste arc
difficult to beat. Batiste and lawn
combinations and chemises, especially
when hand embroidered, offer few dit.
ficulties in the way Of laundering.

dining room, dining porch, pantry,
kitchen and rear porch is about as
near perfect as the rooms could be ar
ranged.
Upstairs the three bedrooms and
bathroom, as well as the different
clothes closets, are planned to occupy
what would otherwise be a large attic.
The height of ceilings, however, is
sufficient to make the rooms comfort;
able in height as well as in size.
The wide dormers that look so artis-
tic from the outside are very useful
inside, because they make square
rooms with level ceilings. 1t is case
of utility adorned for beauty. The
idea of making a dormer the full width
of the bedroom to accommodate a.
multiple window is not an invention
of any one architect tits the growth
and development of wish for better

FACES CHANGE WITH FASHION
Remarkable Transformation to Bs
Noted as the Styles of the
Seasons Vary.

Have you noticed how fashions in
clothes and fashions in faces go hand
in hand?
For instance, year before last, ]
think it was, when the vampire face
was rampant, the mysteriously pulled
down hat completely shadowing the
eyes came in vogue. At this time the
slim, slit, seductive clothes were worn,
and stranger walking along one OF
our principal streets must have had
the impression that some dread dis
ease had taken hold of nearly all Of
our young girls.
Next year, transformation! The
vampire shed her slinky garments and
sophistication and became the sweet
est little notwithstanding doll with an
'Oh-what-a-wicked-worldI" expression
on her pretty little pink-cheeked face.
And If you remember rightly it was at
this season that the youthful short
wasted dresses, dainty slippers and
all sorts of fluffy things appeared.

Has "Earnnu In Cave.

A cave in the heart Of the Ozark
mountains is the unusual spot chosen
for farm by retired citizen Of st.
Louis. While looking about for a
farm in the western part Of his home
state, Robert Smith found an attrac-
tive 26-acre stretch, beneath part of
which lay large cave. Remember
ing the profitable use made Of caves
by the mushroom growers of southern
France, he determined to test the pro
ductiveness of his acquisition. He first
constructed a 25-foot nat-bottoned
boat for his only practicable access
was by small river running through
the cave. Then he had to uproot and
haul away the stalagmites and sta
lactites-the lime deposits left by the
incessant dripping Of water during
many centuries. Except for a clayey
substance, ochre, which covered part
of the walls, the cavern floor was bare
SO that the final preliminary
activity was to spread soil and manure
over the ground. Mushrooms are pc

FULL SKIRT HAS WON PLACE
Not as Yet Fully Adopted, but Many
of the Smart Dressers Have
Taken 1t Up.

With the short coat and its military
collar the skirt varies, but the full
skirt without a tunic claims prece-
dence in the very smartest models
and is gradually making itself more
and more felt, though for the great
mass of winter frocks and suits the
long tunic in one form or another will
hold good. Paris sponsored the plain
full skirt early in the season and the
later models emphasize the idea, but
the earliest showing here leaned
rather to the tunic models, and Amer
lean women are slow in accepting the
newer skirt.
And vet one sees it worn here and
there wherever smartly dressed wom-
en- congregate, and it is featured more
and more prominently in shops of the
better class. One afternoon during
the American fashion show at the
Ritz Carlton, in New York, a group
of five well-known actresses happened
to foregather on the stairway, and
each of the five was wearing version
of the plain full skirt.

The pleasing appearance of this
splendid house is due to the blending
of number of artistic features, one
OF the most prominent of which is the
brick front wall of the large veranda,
with corner piers, center piers and
chimney to match.
The liberal widths of the front door,
front steps and cement walk are
matched by the spreading roof projec-
ton over the front dormer window.
Elegant proportions is an expression
that fits this style of house treatment.
The width and slope of the roof, the
large gables all trimmed to CORE
spond without making exact copies,
and dormers to match the end gables,
all merge into each other to produce
a perfect picture.
The rounded bays with their round
ed roofs add a distinctive finish to the
large living room end of the building,
which harmonizes with the general
design, but differs suffi-
GENTLY to avoid sameness.
The general character of the win
dows follows the new type of multiple |

The same style of window is used on
all sides of the house in all gables
and dormers, but the height of the
windows and the design of the front
entrance are sufficiently different to
vary the window designs to avoid all
suspicion of monotony.
The manner of construction is as
solid and as subtantial as the house
looks. Starting from the footings of
the cellar walls and going up through
the house to the ridge boards we find
everything well planned. We find all
materials and all proportions carefully
worked out to produce splendid resi-
dence.
