 Final Note In Smartness.

made of crepe de chine or thin satin so that they take up least possible space under the gown. Satin petti- coats are worn for all occasions. even with sport skirts, and there is no req son why white wash satin petticoat should not launder as successfully as one of cotton material, provided the laundress knows her business. The satin petticoat gives that desirable slinkiness under marrow frock which even the thinnest cotton petticoat never seems able to accomplish, even when it is ironed entirely without starch.
 Combinations By The Score.
 It must be particular sort of wom- an indeed who cannot be suited to her taste in combination. so varied and multitudinous are the styles pre- scented for, approval. Most of these garments are of tinted crepe de chine or wash satin; some are of chiffon, some are of lace, great many, of course, are of fine batiste. A combi- nation of pineapple linen is pictured in company with a nightgown of the . s'''14AS CNN1d IllellGLldl, put IulS | fabric is rather costly and when lace is included in the design such under wear does not strike the note of econ omy. Even crepe de chine is cheaper A combination of flesh tinted crepe de | chine and fflet is pictured; there are two garments, short chemise or tunic and close knickers finished at the waistline with an elastic-run cas- ing. The chemise is donned over cor set and brassiere and the knickers take the place of a petticoat. Over this dainty set of lingerie is worn a pale pink crepe negligee with soft | swansdown trimming. The sleeves have elongated points tipped with silk tassels and the lower half of the neg ligee is gathered to the kimono shaped upper part under an upstanding friT, crocheted loops at the front forming a buttonhole fastening.
 A ravishing combination of pink Georgette is embroidered with pale blue beads; another model of white Georgette has hand run flowers done with silver thread. Neither of these

tured is the peignoir of flesh tinted satin and chiffon designed to slip over a nightgown and made on the lQosest possible lines. The garment fastens at one side of the square decolletage, opening from this point to the hem. Two charmingly pretty negligees are shown together in another picture. The seated figure wears a slip-on coatee of pink satin over a petticoat of primrose chiffon printed with flow CTS and coral hued birds. The other negligee is of ciel blue satin draped with orchid and Nattier blue chiffon, the draperies caught up with tiny rose buds.

Neckwear Never So
 Pretty

NN HE VELVET FROCK of the H winter is apt to be, finished off VA at its decolletage with most
 ~~ exquisite bit of neckwear in the way of a collar of old lace, pin-tucked mousseline or hand embroidered batiste. Some of these beautiful bits of adornment come from Paris shops; some of them are made by their wearers-and what more fascinating needlework for dull evenings could be imagined? One such collar is of far more value than half a dozen ready made models of cheap quality, and though the finer examples of neck wear cost rather staggering prices in the shops they may be trif1ing in actual expenditure of money if one does the dainty work ones self A black velvet frock seen at Sherry's the other afternoon, had long, close sleeves and rounded out neck that dipped a little at the front. The alI- around turnover collar was of sheer est white batiste with pintucks in
 
 whipped on edge of Val lace. Mar row turned back cuffs were of pin tucked batiste with the Val. edge, the whole cuff being not more than an inch and half in depth. while the collar was about four. inches wide. Any woman could make such a set for herself; any woman, that is, who can do hand tucking and whipping with a No. 10 needle and 150 cotton.
 A dark blue velvet frock he'd a very deep V shaped deconetage outlined by narrow collar of filet lace, the collar meeting at the point of the V, while the deep V was filled in part way up with chemisette of white tulle. Narrow bands of the filet formed turnback cuffs on the long velvet sleeves. Still another velvet frock had a rounded out neck which showed just the tiniest upstanding frill of plisse batiste. hemmed by hand, and two-inch plisse frills pro jected from the sleeves at the wrist.

HANDY LITTLE TABLES.

A ONE VERY GOOD VALUES S have been offered, during holi-
 N day season. in "nests'' of tables, ~ and it is safe to assume that some of these tables are left over in stock at the holiday prices. In the nest there are four slenderIegged mahogany tables-or tablekins, as one woman whimsically calls them and they are most convenient little affairs for any home, particularly in an apartment where massive furni- ture takes up valuable space. The largest of the four tables is admirable for cards and even the second and third size may be pressed into serv- ice for bridge party. The tiniest table will be just right for sewing basket or bed room candle, and so decorative are the slender legged, dainty little affairs that they look well anywhere, holding book and photo- graph, or candle and low vase of flowers.

,g derwear styles this season, prob
 ably because woman. sternly @ depriving herself of frills and fripperies in outdoor costume, simply must have something pretty to satisfy her dress-cravingsr lingerie, be- ing out of sight, cannot bring criti- cism or condemnation upon it's wear CT, no matter how eXtravagant it is.
 Nobody wants to look too well dressed these days and street cos tunes are more simple and sober than they have been in years It is more Creditable to appear in ones last winter coat than to sport new and expensive furs, when so many worthy charities are in need of help, and in most instances the feminine impulse to help is perfectly sincere. Women are denying themselves many things this winter and putting the major part of their dress allowances into Liberty Bonds, Red Cross sub scriptions and other war relief un- dertakings and an old hat and thread bare gloves are no disgrace to any body. Rather the reverse. But pret- ttness, fineness, daintiness, woman must have somewhere; and the some where, this season. is in lingerie. The new garments are eminenGy simple in style but the trimmings and ma terials are exquisite and Paris has introduced many piquant conceits.
 New Garments For The New
 Silhouette.
 With the passing of voluminous skirts and close bodces have passed also rigid corsets and brassieres. The French woman, under her soft-lined, semi-Oriental draperies, is wearing a supple hip-girdle in the way of a cor set and a brassiere made of silk and lace-frequently of satin ribbon at- tached to fitted back piece of net or lace, the wide, soft ribbon coming forward from the sides of this back section and tied across the bust. Petticoats are slim little affairs that appear to have flare because of their clever cut and the arrangement of the flounce from knee depth, but they are really quite narrow and are oftenest

head-size than the bed room cap and it's crown is shaped to fit over the piled up or puffed out hair at the back. One must be able, also, to get into it and out of it without disar- ranging the hairdressing which ones maid has painstaking1y and beauti- fully completed for the day. Milady's hair is not tossed up and twisted into knot as a school girls hair is; it is treated to brushings, lotions and mar eel waves until it nipples and gleams in satiny smoothness, and then it is arranged with utmost art in an effect of unstudied simplicity. Two hair dressings like this in the same day

of filet lace coming well below the armpits with blue or pink satin rib bons worked in and out of the lace, a lace trimmed slash at either side of the yoke affording the arm opening. These exclusive gowns are of flesh tinted crepe de chine or Georgette; the models for everyday use of fine batiste in white or flesh tint.
 The pajama suit with it's incon- sistent but very fetching frills is made of flesh pink satin and the hand hemmed frilIs are of flesh pink bat iste. A Paris pajama, this, of course!

cornered cap of soutache embroidered net which has a loose edge, uncon- fined by the usual elastic band and a crown which allows room for the piled up hair. This cap is made Of a straight strip of net folded over to give the square cornered crown and a little frill of lace and insertion is added around the edge, the seam hid den under the soutache enbr oidery.

EIS this winters evening gown IS
 the long, floating sleeve of V M tulle which may be caught up and wrapped around throat, shoulders or arms in a dozen different and fas- cinating ways. Sometimes these tulle sleeves are in wing effect, sometimes they depend from the shoulder-straps of the bodice or are added merely as panels or streamers which fall to the very hem of the skirt Seldom are they allowed to float out behind their wearers but are looped over the arms or twisted in some pretty way or other about the figure and their airy noth- ingness of tulle gives the silhouette spirituelle suggestion, as though an aura of impalpable substance hoatec about the frock and it's wearer. inls effect is loveliest when the tuNed/ ssakssf cry matches the tone of the cS Sstme and when the exact shade Of the brocade or satin gown cannot be matched in tulle, two layers of tulle in colors producing the wanted har- mony of tone, are utilized.

LIBERTY SUIT AT
STANDARD PRICE

Adoption Of a Liberty Suit at
standard price is under consideration
by the Government This standard
suit is made up in several styles and
patterns and would stabilize prices
on all mems clothing and would in
sure civilians against profiteering,
officials believe.
As a further precaution, price
fixing to cover all manufactured
fabrics Is being considered. The Gov
eminent is taking from seventy to
seVenty-five per cent OF the entire
cloth output, and the small remain
der is entirely inadequate to meet
civilian needs. Price fixing is be-
lieved by officials to be the only way
OF protecting the consumer against
eXobitant prices.
Powerful interests are believed to
be fighting this policy in favor OF a
free reign of prices. Supply and de-
mand, they believe, should govern
all prices. Officials, however, claim
this would result in a wave of profit
eering which would hit the lowest
classes hardest and would result in
an initiation Of all necessities. Much
