sible sleeping garments into many
dainty conceptions of the original and
have produced, in the process, attrac-

neither pajamas nor nightgOWns.
There are one-piece and two-piece pa
jamas, pajamas with slipover manda-
in coats and others with short jackets

satin, crepe de chine and georgette go
to make up these very modern concep-

If one determines upon silk for sleep
ing garments the soft texture of wash
satin and crepe de chine, and the sheer
ness of georgette along with their
dainty colorings, are sure to inspire
gay and frivolous affairs like that
shown in the picture. Nearly all the
boudoir pajamas, however, are less
fanciful than these which exaggerate
the style in order to call attention to
1t. The pantalettes are of plain satin
with crepe georgette set in at the sides
between front and back pieces tied to-
gether with satin ribbon bows. The
short jacket of satin has sleeves of
plated georgette ending in ruffle with
a ribbon band above it. The collar is

PARIS AGAIN GAY:
CLOTHES CHANGE

New York.-Among the accumulated
glooms in the war news there are lit
tie nuggets of cheer One of these is
the undoubted Improvement of what
might be called the general atmos-
phere of Paris. Every arrival from
that city, every fashion letter, even
the more serious chronicles, speak OF
the intangible change which has come
over the municipal conscience. APP
parently, nothing Is changed; yet in
the restaurants and hotels the menus
are more appetlzing; the diners are
gayer; the theaters are fuller and the
pieces played there are more interest
ing and better mounted. At the opera,
at the conferences of fashionable lee
lturers, at the few concerts, at all the
places where society gathers, the same
story of better dressing Of increased
interest in clothes and all that per-
tains to them, of the discreet reap
pearance of jewelry, Is told by so
many witnesses that we are forced by
mere weight of numbers to believe
them.
Paris itself wonders. But make in
quiries as to the reason, and after
more or less elaboration you will re-
ceive from all quarters the same an
swer. America is responsible.
The American troops are paid on
a scale that would turn French war
ministry white with horror. Besides,
many of the brand-new officers now
wearing Uncle Sans uniform are
men with bank accounts which would
be respected even in extravagant New
York. Put any American with money
Ia his pocket In Parts, and his i'm
pulse is TO spend it and keep on
spending il. Wearing brown clothes
and flannel shirt isn't going to alter
that instinct It's too deepseated.

wear with the magnificence Of these
pajamas, and they are hardly to be
imagined without an attendant cap of
lace and ribbon. These eXtravagant
luxuries require accessories to match
themselves in dalntiness.
Few pajamas are so elaborate. Pan
talettes are usually straight and full
and gathered into ruflle about the
ankle. Coats or jackets are bordered
with satin or crepe in a contrasting
color. Sometimes narrow lace edges
the collar or the frills at the ankle and
sometimes hemstitching is the only
decoration.

tailored suit Is the mainstay of lPr

WHIMSICAL STYLES IN SLEEPING GARMENTS

month in the year. Sometimes it hap
pens that she must choose a new one
just between seasons, as in February
or January. Winter suits are offered
at bargain prices then, and early
spring styles have appeared, enticing-
ly new and tempting. The shopper is
torn between two minds, and no one
can settle the matter for her. 1t must
be decided by the climate she lives in,
the kind of service she requires of the
suit, becomingness of the styles and
other personal matters.
Winter and spring styles compare
notes in the two suits shown here. At
the left an advance model for spring
reveals a trim affair of dark-cOlored
cloth, with plain skirt that does not
commit itself to the very narrow style
which has been considerably heralded.
The coat approves the conservation of
wool by being short, enforcing its
opinion especially in the back of the
garment which Is shorter than the
front. This Is fine model for slen-
der figure, with a yoke to the Shout
ders and the front and back attached
to it, plated at the sides. The coat
sleeves broaden the figure by means
of little fullness at the top. There
is narrow belt and springtima
touches in light buttons, in an over
collar of white satin and insert Of
white in the V-shaped cut-out on the
plain cuffs.

manger. A slight slope is given from
this point to the manager and greater
slope is given from this point to the
gutter. The object is to prevent the
cows from pushing all of their bedding
back into the gutter during the night.
Gutter drains are fitted with covers to
prevent loss of valuable fertilizer and
clogging of the drainage system.
The stable wall above the concrete
blocks is finished with S-inch boards
placed vertically, and the interior is
finished with ceiling stock so that the
stable will be warm.

was one Of the star pilots Of our squad

battle before, but this time the ODDS
were too great for him. He put up
wonderful fight and he. gave as much
as he took.
The next two days passed without
incident and I was then taken to the
intelligence department Of the German
flying corps, which was located about
an hour from the hospital. There was
kept two days, during which time they
put a thousand and one questions to
me. While I was there I turned over
to them the message had written In
the hospital and asked them to have
one of their flyers drop 1t on our side
of the line.
They asked me where I would like to
have it dropped, thinking perhaps
| would give my airdrome away, but
when smiled and shook my head, they
did not insist upon an answer.
'T'll drop it over -" declared one
| Of them, naming my airdrome, which

is as efficient as other branches OF the
service In the matter Of obtaining valu

was one Of the most famous flyers In
the world, barring none. He was later
killed in action, but I was told by an
English airman who witnessed his last
combat, that he fought a game battle
and died hero's death.
The prison. which had evidently
been a civil prison Of some kind before
the war, was located right In the heart
Of Courtrai. The first building we ap-
preached was large and in front OF
the archyay, which formed the main
entrance, was sentry box. Here we
were challenged by the sentry. who
knocked on the door; the guard turned
the key in the lock and was admit

were to occupy these rooms, but had
already surveyed the surroundings,
taken account of the number OF guards
and the locked door outside, and con-
cluded that my chances OF getting
away from some other place could be
no worse than In that particular cell.
As I had no hat, my helmet being the
only thing I had worn over the lines,
I was compelled either to go bare
headed or wear the red cap OF the
Bavarian whom I had shot down on
that memorable day. It can be I'M

into the courtyard, my overcoat cover
ing my uniform, all that the British
officers, who happened to be summing
themselves in the courtyard, could see
was the red cap. They afterwards told
me they wondered who the ''bug Hun"
was with the bandage on his mouth.
This cap I managed to keep with me,
but was never allowed to wear 1t on
the walks we took. I either went bare
headed or borrowed a cap from some
other prisoner.
At certain hours each day the pris
oners were allowed to mingle in the
courtyard, and on the first occasion OF
this kind I found that there were II
officers imprisoned there besides my
self.
They had here interpreters wht
could speak all languages. One Of
them was a mere boy who had beer
