ROOM GOWNS.

Not much is in a name, we have al
ways been taught to believe, but,
nevertheless, a name is often very sug-
gestive Anybody would know that a
camesole or an underbodice, even II 1t
answered the same purpose as corset
cover, would be daintier bit OF lin
gerie than its predecessor. And any
body would know that a room gown
would be different than matinee or
neglige or a kimono. It Immediately
suggests something more serviceable.
less informal than neglige, and
something far less formal than a house
frock.
A room gown is simply sort of
gown to wear when one is in ones own
room. Usually it is belted in at the
waist. or Whereabouts, and 1t very often
at the side-not in the direct center
front. Often. too. there Is a sort Of
cross-over sash arrangement that real
~ holds the top apart in snugly to the
figure and keeps IT tight together.
Such q gown should be msdA Of
something other than chiffon or any
other very transparent material It -
useful, too II 1t is made Of . Washable
material Crepe de chine OF dotted
swiss or challls Is a good ohoioe Of
material for 1t.
IhlS Is just the sort OF SnlnS IOf
college girl who likes to remove the
clothes in which she has been playing
hockey or riding or attending lectures
when she goes to her room to study. AS
a. rule, she slips into flmy neglige
or loose kimono; then II other girls
come to her room. or If she decides to
make tea or If she wishes to slip to the
room of a companion. she finds herself
too fundamentally clad. The room
gown is Just the thing she needs
something Of neglige order. yet
something that does not dop about and
fly open all the time.
The room gown. too. would DO q very
useful gown for the woman VINO lives
In a small apartment. In such an apart
ment, without maid. as such an apart
rnent very often is. the room gown
would be a safe refuge for the hostess
if she wished to get into something
comfortable for a rest or an hours
reading or letter writing. Then the
unexpected ring at the bell would not
find her unpresentable. She could
even slip into such a gown to manipu-
late the electric toaster and percolator
for breakfast, or the tiny kitchenette.
without the feeling of untidiness that
such an undertaking in a neglige Of
ribbons, chiffon and lace would cause.

Farmer Browns Boy Is Sor'
roWfuL.
Regrets cannot undo what's done;
Take heed they do not follow fun.


Farmer Browns Boy was full of re-
grets as he stood sorrowfully looking
down on Reddy Fox stretched out on
the frozen crust of the Cream Meadows
not far from the dear Old Brier Patch.
II must have frightened him to
doing such a thing as that" he NUT
tered. as he stopped and felt of Red
dy's soft red coat. II just meant to
give him a scare for daring to steal
one Of my hens. / meant to teach
him a lesson he wouldn't soon forget,
but l didn't mean to do him any real
harm. 1 suppose l must have seemed
very terrible to him, wbooping and
yelling and coming SO fast on my,
skates. OF course, it never entered
his head that I could travel faster
than he could. How thin he Is, poor
fellow, He must have been awfully
hungry to dare to come up to the hem
yard in broad daylight. 1 don't sup
pose Peter Rabbit and Danny Meadow
mouse and some of the others will be
at all sorry that Reddy is dead, but I
am. He had just as much right to live
as any of the rest of US, and I'm quite
sure that the Green Forest and the
Green Meadows will not be quite the
same without him. l didn't see him
very often, but I saw his tracks, and I
knew well enough that many q time
he was watching me when 1 couldn't
see him.
ct wish-I wish I hadn't chased him
quite so hard. 1t must be terrible to
be so hungry. OF course, he couldn't
see why he shouldn't catch chicken
when he had the chance, just the same
as he would have caught Mrs. Grouse
or Peter Rabbit If he could. Poor
Reddy, I guess his heart just stopped
beating from sheer fright. 1t is too

He was thinking sadly that he should

ways had admired Reddy's coat. and
it would seem strange indeed not to
see 1t any more. Reddy Fox was sly
and a scamp. but he was handsome
and he was smart and he would be
missed by everybody. Sammy was
sure that he would be missed a great
deal more than that fat hen would
have been.

to the problem of how to get further

discuss the gown of cloth than one of

MAY INTRODUCE PERSIAN GARMENTS.
BY ANNE R1TTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, January 24.-Two or
three of the French houses attempted
to introduce oriental house dressing
about five years ago. The manifesto
tons of it were merely considered &C.
centricities. Square trousers, velvet
smoking jacket. long tunics in gorgeous
colors were gazed upon. but never seri-
ously considered.
The people behind this movement. such
as Poiret and Callot. were known to be
artists who experimental in cloth as
the futurists do in paint. Yet, after all.
they should have been taken seriously,
for they were the apostles of a new
school.
The attempt to make women see the
comfort and artistic beauty of oriental
house dressing has never been aban-
doned by these two French houses, and
little by little. other dresSmakers have
followed their example. Cheruit and
Jenny introduced the Turkish trousers
under the name of Victorian panta-
lettes. and in the minds of the public
this nomenclature seemed to take away
something not to be approved.
Callot has never softened the idea or
the fact that she stands for square
trousers: she brings several pairs out
each sea son in conjunction with an I'M
usually smart frock You may remem-
Der the green walking suit of fur
which created such an impression in
October, with its square trousers of
red satin; not only has it been worn
without comment, but it was the pre-
cursor of many others.
Only the words "pantalettes" and
trousers" seemed to give offense: the
wearing of them passed without com
ment, for they were evidently modest
and appeared to the layman as a mar
now petticoat. They were admirable
for dancing. and have been commonly
worn all winter in gold and silver lace,
showing only a few inches below the
hem of the skirt.
Trousers in Negliges.
Jeanne Lanvin, the conservative de-
signer. introduced a remarkably lovely
neglige at the recent French fashion
show, which she called Ali Baba, made
of dull red cloth with Persian en-
broidery. 1t was bought by one of the
New York shops, and has given rise to
some extraordinary negliges. which are
more or less oriental in feeling.
Fearing that the American women
are not quite ready for the exotic house
gowns of Arabia, the designers have
kept the trouser idea and built up
fllmy house gowns in connection with
it.
The sketch shows one that was in
cluded in a bridal trousseau. The
square trousers are of pink satin, the
hens embroidered with an arabesque
in gold thread. The dimensions of

sleeve portions of the dress are Of

one of those comfortable, one-piece
garments that women have learned
to love for their comfort and neatness.
They mark the disappearance of open

"A visiting nurse is now at work in

Of Minneapolis, a nurse who has spe-
5cial training in this kind Of work and
whose service will without doubt prove
of great value to the people of this
city. She is staying at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. f. G. Ruth.
Miss Lally has already made exam
nations in the more serious cases of
illness which the league has been tax
ing care Of and she is now engaged in
examining the serious cases among the
children in the public schools here.
Reports: are made to the principal of
each building and the principal files

schools. Literature on health will be
distributed to the pupils in the
schools. After examining the more
serious cases in the schools the nurse
will turn here attention toward exam
ming all pupils. She will be here for
about two months, but it is not likely
that she will be able to examine all
the children this term as it takes con-
siderable time. n ...ra~ ssh

work Of Miss Lally at meeting Sat-

hobo Saturday afternoon at Randall.
He had fallen asleep on the railroad
tracks near that place and narrowly
escaped being run over by an extra
freight. The man gave his name as
F.. j.. Moore. He had no address.
The freight train was backing up on
a side track toward where Moore was
sleeping and he would have been in
stantly killed had not brakeman,
who was standing on the platform on
the caboose, seen him lying on the
tracks. He signaled the train to stop
and it came to a standstill within a
few feet of the man. He was picked
up by the train crew and was brought
to this city and here he was loc-sed up
until Sunday, when he was released
and sent on his way.
Moore had come to Little Falls from
Swanville on Saturday morning and
he started to walk up the track to
Randall. He had liquor in his posses
sion and evidently was intoxicated
when he fell asleep.
