morning when the reporter looked UP the
circus man the hotel clerk said that John
had taken one fash at the assembled
patriots in the lobby and promptly had
gone away from here to join the Barnum
& Bailey Circus again In order TO get
little peace and quiet.
1t was while looking up John this
morning that the reporter bumped into
Oliver Osborne near the corner OF Mich
igan and jackson boulevards and learned
from the well-known New Yorker that
Oliver had Just dropped into town to
boom the Hon John King c. Gillette. OF
Massachusetts, as running mate for
Hughes. Oliver added that he would not
be quite ready to spring the safety razor

day or two, however, SO perhaps 1t Is
only fair to oliver to warn readers to
say as little as possible about the

HOMEMADE NIGHTG0WNS.

The day when a homemade night
gown necessarily indicated weeks of
hand embroidery, or else few hours
stitching on stiff. thick muslin has gone
by. And now we can make night
gown in a few hours. with only saw
ing touch of handwo ork, and yet produce
something that is charmingly dainty.
Sheer materials, of course, which are
always used nowadays for nightgowns,
have much to do with this change. The
fact, too, that nightgown patterns now
almost invariably show short sleeves
and open necks also has much to do
with their daintiness.
The nightgown with an empire waist
line is favorite just now, and is de-
servedly SO, for the long, full lines OF
the skirt are most becoming. Some sort
of wide collar, too, is always becoming,
but it wrinkles very easily in a night
gown. Revers at the front are shown
in some of the newer patterns. and
these give softness and fullness and
are not so easily wrinkled as a collar.
Much variety can be given by the use
of slashed and puffed sleeves, and the
| use of cuffs of various sorts is also
worth trying.
Batiste is very good material for
| nightgowns, especially in colors. The
| pale pink and blue shades of this ma :
| terial, which can be had for about
20 cents a yard, are especially at
| tractive. Nainsook in a soft quality is
also a good material. Figured dimity,
| too can be used, and this summer much
| figured cotton crepe. of soft quality
| and dainty design, has been used for
pretty and durable nightgowns.
| The use of much entre-deux in the
seams of fine nightgowns is dainty
| touch, and especially in the night
| gown which shows much hand work is
this method of finishing seams advis-
able.
| Hand embroidery can also be set into
a nightgown with entre-deux. In this
| way fine hand-em broidered yokes and
| panels can be used.
| The rolled hem that is so much seen
| nowadays-in handkerchief and fine
| blouses-can be utilized in the night
gown. The hem is finely rolled and is
then whipped with thread OF color.
! first in one direction and then in the
| other, forming a sort of cross-stitch
| finish.
