or pendants, designed to hold pressed

$50. and are simply two disks Of glass

suspended from chain, cord or ribbon
about the neck by a tiny metal ring.
Between the two disks of glass one places
a pressed fiower-a flower that indicates

vantages for domestic cooking where
power Is cheap, say 6 cents per kilo-
watt hour. Especially is this so where
the cooking is applicable to the fireless
methods. such as baking, roasting and

Your heating element is contained in
your appliance, and the control can be

makes electricity well worth consider

The New Underwear.

No one who goes out to buy the un-
derlinen for a trousseau can be guided
by what has been worn before or by
what tradition once laid down as the
proper equipment for a lady. 1t is best
to go through a few of the shops which
make a speciality of original under
clothes. and If it is not possible to pay
the price to duplicate the garments
elsewhere.
One happy solution of this problem
is that the department shops get out
at small prices. an amazing assortment
of dainty and fashionable lingerie.
What is the tendency of today? Well.
it is toward flesh pink as color, hem
stitching and picot edging as trim
ming, blue ribbon against a pink sur
face and a fash of roses wherever it
can be placed.
Whether or not the first empire
styles will come into our afternoon
and evening gowns. they are certainly
here in fashionable lingerie. One might
think that Joseph..., famous white
satin robe had been taken as a model
for the new nightgownS.
Some of these have the puffed sleeves.

While acknowledging that this con-

Of today is justified in selecting for
her trousseau only those bits of lin

of the hour, still. one has pleasant
memories of the preparation of a dozen

stance Of a wedding chest of other
days.
One thinks of the patience. eager
ness and joy which went into the work
of making those dozens of garments
and the long hours spent by the family

and putting on the handwork. 1t was

brides-elect on the path of having me-
dieval surroundings to their cere-

The affair was mapped out in Paris

which she can let her fancy run riot.
She cares nothing whatever for the
practical side of it. She would regard
with dismay any suggestion that

the way with her ancestors.
She will tell you quite wisely that
