Tips Abou, tho Ne~es, Ways
OF Making Such Robes,

The day when a homemade night
gown necessarily indicated weeks oi
band embroidery or else few hours
stitching on stifI. thick muslin has
gone by And now We can make a
uighlgown in few hours, with only
saving touch OF hand work, and yet
produce something that is eharmingly
dainty,
Sheer materials, OF course, which
are always used nowadays for night
gowns. have much TO do with this
change The fact, too, that night
gown patterns now almost Invariably
show short sleeves and open necks
also has much to do with their dainti.
ness.
The nightgown with an empire
waist line is a favorite just now, and
is deservedly so, for the long, full
lines of the skirt are most becoming.
Some sort OF wide collar, too. is al
ways becoming, but 1t wrinkles very
easily In nightgown. Reyeres at the
front are shown In some OF the newer
patterns, and those give softness and
fulness and are not so easily wrinkled
as a collar. Much variety can be CIV
en- by the use OF slashed and pulled
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 attractive.
Nainsook In a soft quality Is also a
good material Figured dimity, too,
can be used. and this season much
figured cotton Grape Of soft quality
and dainty design has been used for
pretty and durable nightgowns,
The use of much entire 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 nlghtgown with entire deux. In
this way fine hand embroidered yokes
and panels can be used.
The rolled hem that is so much seen
nowadays-in handkerchiefs 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 sort of cross stitch
finish.
pretty finish for a white night
gown is a binding of colored bias folds
of muslin This folded bias finish can
be bought both IN plain colors and In
stripes and plaids. Sleeves and neck
can both be bound in this way and a
band OF the colored fold can be placed
at the line of an empire waist line, to
have ribbon run under It.
In the same manner chiffon or geor-
gette Grape underwear can be finished
with ribbon used as binding

Fall Styles For Children.

The question Of fashion In garments
for the tots Is largely one of becom
ingness But. OF course, every item
Of apparel planned for the small clti
zen should wash.
Some OF the smart little simple dress
es for children shown this fan are
plated from shoulder to hem; some
are IN Russian blouse effect with plat
ed skirts. Suspended dresses with
washable waists and little frocks
equipped with washable guimpes are
also In favor.
Tub fabrics are unquestionably first
choice, or should be, for the very young
children. But plain and plaid serge
and velveteen dresses for girls Of eight
to ten and twelve years are smart
For school wear bright colors and
cuffs are used on dark color frocks
and detachable collars and cuffs Of lin
en-. pique, etc. are also used very ef
fectively on some Of the school frncks

Tin Cans.
In connection with one health de-
partment campaign for the elimination
Of the mosquito 1t has been suggested
that every housewife should punch a
hole In the bottom of tin can after
the contents have been removed and
before throwing it into the rubbish
heap The family tack hammer or Ice
pick may be used satisfactorily to
punch the hole. In the opinion Of one
expert this practice would prevent lots
OF mosquito breeding which is now go
ing on in empty tin cans. which collect
stagnant water
1t is stated on authority that tin
can half filed with stagnant water
will easily breed over 200 mosquitoes.
Old bottles and broken crockery are
also prolific source Of mosquito
breeding
In many towns and cities the small
boys have been put at the task of
punching holes In all discarded tin
cans In back yards and vacant lots
and smashing all old bottles and
broken crockery found on the rubbish
