Many women have become addicted
to the pajama habit, and pajamas are
beginning to crowd nightdresses in
the good graces of the up-to-date young
woman. Already manufacturers are
turning out a variety of them In cot
ton and in silk fabrics. They are
made in two pieces with more or less
fancy coats and jackets and in the
plain original model borrowed from
the masculine garment. But the tend
cncy is away from the severe type to
the more feminine and frivolous styles.
In the picture a one-piece model of
fleSh-cOlOred wash satin is shown. II
appeared at the Style Show recently
held at Chicago, and its lure caused
many a good dollar to pass from buy
ers of apparel to the manufactures Of
this particular garment. These buyers
know its lure will coax more dollars

Wash satin lingerie seems an ex-
travagance, but In the long run 1t can
not be considered so. The satip
proves to be very durable and the ma
ture of this material precludes the use
of a lot of fragile but useless trim
mings. Hemstitching. fine tucks,
French knots. and durable lace edg-
ings prove the best choice for trim
ming satin lingerie, and they last as
long as the things they decorate.

Interest in Piaids.

Perhaps it is through the influence
of the Scotch kilties, who have apr
can cities to remind us that the kins-
men of Bruce and Wallace are among
our allies. that we have revived our
interest in plaids. Perhaps 1t Is just
because bright colors are in vogue AZ
a counteractive against the grimness
of war, or perhaps it is just time that
plaids returned to vOgue-they do
periodically, do they not? At any rate.
some of the most interesting of the
new separate skirts are made from
Scotch plaid and some of these skirts
are made in pleated designs to carry
out the idea Of the highlander.

In the issue of the Central Division
Bulletin of the American Red Cross Of
August % the following article ap-
pears:
Wore en- Of Cheerful Disposition for
Hospital Hut Service Abroad.
Several hundred American women,
whose dispositions are Of the cheerful
variety, are wanted for work in the
Red Cross hospital huts In France.
The Cheerful disposition" proposition
is an essential requisite, for the reason
that their duty will be to spread cheer
among the boys who are cOnvalescing
after wounds received on the battle
field or from attacks Of illness.
The bureau Of personnel Of the
American Red Cross already has en-
rolled 100 of these workers, while 443
is the number estimated rs necessary
to he supplied before the first of Jan
uary, 1919. The Red Cross commits
sioner to France, In a cablegram call
ing for these hospital hut workers,
specifying some of the qualifications
required, suggested that the wOmen
chosen should be those who are keen
on entertainment. Lots Of music, read
ing aloud, and all that sort of thing
help to make the recovery Of wounded
and sick soldier boys much quicker
than otherwise would be the case.
Everything that keeps up spirits and
turns thoughts In II channel that pre-
vents n of the bitterest of all all
ments-hOmesickness-is n gOdsend.
The American Red Cross intends
that there shall be no lack of enter
tainment and good cheer ''Over there"
and it is particularly desired therefore
that the call for hospital hut workers
be complied with according to sched-
ule. Those who volunteer for this
service will be expected to remain
abroad for at least Il year.
1t Is desirable that applicants be
able to pay their own expenses, but In
cases Of exceptional qualifications the
Red Cross will pay living expenses in
France. Transportation to and from
France will be furnished by the Red
Cross.

that this hospital hut service is easy

Braid Much Used.

Braid is going to be very much used
this autumn. There is n real wartime
reason for this, as braid is something
that covereth a multitude of sins and
makes quick work of giving q smart
and nea finish to all sorts of tailored
frOcks. coats and suits. There Is q
kind of double, folded braid that may
easily be applied to the edge Of
sleeves, TUNES or skirts. giving them
a complete finish with the minimum n
work. The home dressmaker will do
well to make use of this new vogue
for braid. OF course. braid Is not a.
ways used as a labor-saving device.
for In many of the new and smart
suits a very elaborate system Of braid
trimming is carried out. often more
than one sort of braid being combined
In one design.
