reaching to the waist line.
A medici collar Of the lace is gath

nightgowns, corset covers, combina-

lions of fine embroidery of lace, set
into the material, are especially liked.
And everywhere ribbons are used. The
ribbonless undergarment is hardly to

Two new nightdresses are shown in
the picture, one of them with sleeves
made of ows of valenciennes inser-
ton stitched together. Sleeves of this
kind are immensely popular, and the
new corset covers are provided with
them. The body of the gown is sim

gether and shaped at the top to fit a
shallow yoke and lace sleeves.
Nainsook is liked best of all the ma

of batiste. Fine cotton crepes, some

OUR NATIONAL DISEASE
Caused by Coffee.

Physicians know that drugs will not
correct the evils caused by coffee and
that the only remedy is to stop drink
ing it.
An Arkansas doctor says:
Il was a coffee drinker for many
years and often thought that / could
not do without it, but after years Of
suffering with our national malady,
dyspepsia, ! attributed 1t to the drink
ing of coffee, and after some thought,
determined to use Postum for my
morning drink.
Il had the Postum made carefully
according to directions on the pkg. and
found It just suited my taste.
"At first I used it only for breakfast.
but ] found myself getting SO much
better, that / had it at all meals. and I
am pleased to say that l have beensre-
lieved Of indigestion. I gained 10
pounds in 4 months and my general
health is greatly improved.
Il must tell you of a young lady in
Illinois. She had been in i'll health for
many years, the vital forces low, with
but little pain. / wrote her of the good
that Postum did me and advised her to
try It,
AT the end Of the year, she wrote
me that she had gained 40 pounds in
weight and felt like herself again"

black velvet ribbon extends about the
neck, terminating in a tiny fat bow,
with double loops at the front. Sim
liar bows adorn the sleeves above the
lace cuffs.
There are many small brilliant but
tons made for these dressy blouses.
Although they are not featured as
they are on coats and dresses they
add a very effective and elegant touch
in the finish Of these very useful gar

Many Of the latest models in
blouses are made with high military
collars. These are not practical un-
less they are detachable, as collars
become quickly soiled. But chemisettes
with standing collars are made to be
worn under the blouse, and this
solves the difficulty for those who
like the new high collar.

XKTHILE the winter evenings are long,
w and stormy days tempt one to
the coziness of indoors, undermuslins
for the coming spring and summer are
made. They beguile the mind with
thoughts of summer time and provide
work that is not at all trying. The
average needlewoman can make them
as pretty to look at and a little more
carefully finished than the ready-made
garments, although there is not a great
saving in cost.
Ready-made undermuslins may be
bought in several grades, the price in
creasing according to the amount Of
handwork and the quality of the MAX
ing in the garments. Very good mate
rails are used in the moderately priced
as well as the higher priced pieces. 1t
is wonderful, in fact, how such good
looking things can be bought for such
low prices. But the homemade gar
ment has two points of superiority over
the ready-made. More attention is
given to details of finishing, and the
individual taste of the wearer, in laces
and embroidery, has a chance to make
itself apparent.

that the old darby, in addition to
