 Charmingly dainty yet substantial in wearing quality and therefore prac. tical and useful is tho lovely night dress of georgette trimmed with baby Irish crochet. This sleeveless type of garment is very popular and surely is an improvement over the gown with sleeve caps or sleeve ruff1es that add nothing to the comfort of the gown, rather to the discomfort of the wearer, and mean just that much more ma- terial and just an additional expendi- ture of time in the laundering C the garment. Many of these dainty new model gowns are trimmed at the foot as is this one and slashed coquettishly

COOL BATHS
 FOR LARGE PORES

TT IS a constant puzzle and all an. noyance to many women that while
 they have fine textured and prerrv skin upon their faces the skin upon the rest of the body is unbeautiful Frequently the pores of the skin are large and there is even at times a
 slight irritation and redness that ia most unpleasant and disfiguring. If they but knew it, cool baths will often solve the problem. The skin of the face Is kept in condition by the fre-N quent Washings in cold water, and you will find that the cool bath will con. tract the large pores of the skin upon the rest of the body in much the same rashlon, and in months time you will find great improvement.
 Or course, the cool baths must agree with one, or more harm than good will be done. Best begin them while the weather is warm or by regulating the temperature of the water with hot water during the cooler weather and decreasing the amount of hot water until very little, if any, is used Be- sides closing the pores of the skin, the cool morning bath will send the blood racing through the veins so that 1t will carry off the impurities and so leave the surface of the skin clear. The cool bath should last but about a min. ute, just long enough to get into tha tub, dash or spray the water over one and jump out. A vigorous rubdown with a turkish towel should follow. and then a minute or two at least of exer. else. If you know of no particular exercises that you care to try, a little bit of oId-fashioned jigging and kick. ing will get you into a glow, and you will generate pep" for the day.

NOR what a long, long ime we A Americans neglected our porches through several months of the year. Now that we have awakened to the possibilities of porches for the win ter we deplore the lost opportunities fin the years gone by, the years when in winter the porch, which had been so pleasant and such comfort Ill summer, was deserted tor the Lndoors' and found itself classed with the SHOW covered doorstep for all the thought of using it was concerned.
 Ru+ now the porch room is quite the pleasantest room in the "hole house, even when the snow Is upon the ground The most unpretentlous porched house in row can nave such a room at little expense A gen. eration or so ago only manson could boast of a sun parlor or con- sary,a+ +orv. but now the $2O-a-month house may possess both by simply Ill., closing the summer porch with te" panes of glass.
 One of the delights of the neW-loea rorcb is the fireplace. From the first chilly days of fall, through the time .hat the snow Is piled in deep drlrts' rutil the spring with its alternate h,lmv and raw days, the porch fire ,.7ace is an unalloyed joy. whether the no-ch be open or inclosed. Certainly were building my dream house the rorch fireplace would be one of the first considerations. Can't you pic .ure the family and the drop-in folk .onnging Informally around 1t, toastlng roarsf.mallo,vs, roasting nuts and ap- r,es ard all sorts of piping-hot goodies?
 The porch room must, of course, be bsateG during the cold weather. That ,s vl,y many folk hesitate to inclose ;Y Not all are so fortunate, as to be .nia to have a fireplace outdoors. but if :s a comparatively simple and mex nsneive matter to have the steam or hotwater pipes extended and radia' tor or two placed.

to do this, there is the electric heater or the old-fashioned oil stove, though the latter is not so practicable where there are children.
 The first step toward the creation of the porch room for winter IS getun9 the glassed inclosure frames. Ihese should harmonize with the general architecture of the exterior of the house and also with the color Where the woodwork is white the square paned inclosures are good in that they lend a quaint Colonial appearance that is very attractive The lncloSure having been decided upon, the neat ing should be considered, whether IL IS to take the form of a fireplace, radla- tor. oil stove - electric heater.
 Then the lighting. It is usually quite a simple matter to extend the electric wires, or, if that is impracticable or the house is not lighted with elec- tricity, the oil lamp serves the pur- pose quite well. But whatever the lighting method used, be sure that the fixtures or lamps preferably lamps for their color value) are well placed and not too dim for either cheer or eyesight As the outdoor room must be cheery, indeed to suggest cozlness and warmth, color plays an important part in it's furnishings, and 1 might say that in the evening hours the lamps play the principal part in the color scheme. Therefore, see that the lamp shades are never of the cold shades, such as greens and icy blues but rather the reds, mulberry, orange, gold, etc., or some of the gay cretonnes or figured silks in which the warmer colors predominate.
 While the grass and fiber rugs are perhaps the most practical for the porch front, if the porch is to be used strictly as a living room for the winter months and cared for as such there Is no reason why a really warm, rich house rug should not be used for it, for flat grass rugs may ap- pear & bit bare in winter. There is.

DAINTY lingerie fits in very happily
 with the idea of practical Christ mas gifts, while at the same time sat isfying that desire to give a near and dear one something that is pretty and a little luxurious.
 The young woman especially is al- ways delighted with a pretty piece of underwear. Something little dain- tier perhaps than she could con- scientiously feel justified in buying for herself is the sort of garment that makes the most acceptable gift, and it IS of these things that I have decided - rell you today. Women generally {. he come to understand that silk tnd georgette underwear is not really rXtravagant apparel. We know that although the initial cost exceeds that of other lingerie, there is a tremen dous saving in the upkeep; that is, in the laundering of these newer gar ments.
 Most women I know find no hard ship in washing these dainty garments themselves. And even women who do not have all the advantage of a home equipped laundry find no difficulty in keeping this kind of underwear dainty and clean.
 So if you decide to give your dear

however, in my opinion, but one kind of furniture for the inclosed porch willow, wicker or one of the various grass and fiber weaves. The outdoor living room even when inclosed, must retain a certain amount of outdoor at mosphere, principally because it will be at least partly visible from the street and it must not present too great a degree of intimacy to the pub
 lie To furnish the outdoor living room in the same fashion as an in- door room is bad taste indeed. I have in mind one which I found in visiting

It looked like a huge glass showcase, and it was with un believing horror that I first glimpsed a grandfather clock and huge gilt pic ture frames behind the much-curtained panes Chairs, a table or two for magazines, work baskets or the tea service, d settee, perhaps, plenty of growing plants, possibly a magazine rack and the necessary lamp or two should be sufficient.

est friend or some near woman rela- ton a dainty piece of underwear as your Christmas remembrance, you are not adding obstacles to her present ing her in this determination and at the same time satisfying her desire for pretty things and your very nat ural desire of wanting to give pretty present.
 In many women's minds practical means something necessary but not necessarily pleasing, and with all their willingness to conform to Government regulations, to live and act with true patriotism, I am quite sure that many women's hearts sank to their boots, figuratively speaking. when the edict went forth to buy and give only prac- tical, useful gifts.
 The things I have chosen to show you today should convince you that there is no real hardship in a strict adherence to our Governments re- quest. Lingerie is a very necessary part of every wonlans wardrobe. Not every woman can afford for general use dainty things she desires to pos sess. Giving this woman something just little nicer than sine can afford herself or can afford to wear gener-

oung women delight in chic anama sets of georgette, ribbon 'immed, and no more delightful lodel than this set can be chosen V-shaped slit. The sleeves are three quarter in length and bell-shaped.
 Blouses of net and lace are much more in favor now than at the be- ginning of the autumn season. Cream color, ecru and cream-and- black com binations are to be seen, and this type of models seems to have wrist-length sleeves and collar-finished necks.
 The square neck blouse is an early spring arrival One of white georgette recently seen was embroidered in pale blue worsted.
 Blouses of white satin, cut on de- cidedly fitted or basque lines. are an- other novelty just introduced. Wrist length fitted sleeves and panel fronts are features of these fitted blouses.
 The round-neck blouse or collarless model is still here and unquestionably will remain, and many new models are nnlSneQ at the neck ana sleeves WlLn tiny ruff1es or frills that give pleas. ingly soft and becoming finish to these simple blouses.
 Valenciennes and Irish crochet are again being used on blouses of geor- gette and the lingerie fabrics, organdie, net. voile, batiste and handkerchief linen. ,.. ....,... ..-....., ...
 As for the colors that will predomi- nate in spring blouses, flesh, white and bisGue give evidence of being the prime favorites, but it would seem from many models introduced that interest in brilliant colors will not be lacking.
 Late blouse innovations from Paris are many and varied, but none is more interesting than the models of foulards showered with tiny motifs.
 The hip-length beltless blouses of metal cloth designed by Cheruit are among the most unique and interest. ing blouses presented for our spring season. ..t

Charmingy dainty yet substantial is this lovely
 sleeveless night dress of georgette and baby Irish crochet, the skirt coquettishly slashed the foot

ally is the most acceptable kind Of gift.
 With useful Christmas gifts in mind interest must surely be created in the exquisite petticoat and the dainty, practical, ribbon-trimned lounging jacket If georgette Either of these garments should make a most well come gift for any woman. And of course you can buy less elaborately trimmed petticoats and more elabo- rately trimmed jackets, but in either case here are two excellent sugges- tions in practical gifts, bearing the
 mp of luxury.
 The girls and young women delight in pajama sleeping garments, yet these may reasonably be considered as lux ury garments if they are to be in- cluded in their own dress allowance. When purchased as gift these mod ern sleeping robes take on an entirely different aspect. They are very prac. tical from this standpoint and are sure to please more than many other gifts the lucky girl who receives them.
 Very lovely is the pajama set of trousers and jacket done in georgette and ribbon trimmed These sets come in several dainty colors, but f1esh-color seems to be the first choice. Some that I have seen recently are in color combinations, such as f1esh-colored georgette with delicate blue ribbon and vice versa

 A very lovely envelope chemise is

kimono sleeve and the sleeve set into a long arnhole will be quite gener- ally adopted for spring. Many such dress models are already being worn.
 The vogue of fringe has reached it's height of popularity and it is not likely that this trimming will be used on smart new models from now on.
 Wool and crewel embroidery are seen on some of the smartest of sim. pie wool and silk frocks recently in troduced. These embroideries are mostly in combinations of brilliant colors, intended without doubt to give brightness and snap to the somber color of the garment.
 There is a decided note of brilliance in dark dinner gowns and more elab. orateness of design and materials is noted as the season advances.
 Wide pompadour and brocade rib bons with net are used extensively on evening gowns and early spring frock models are being trimmed with velvet ribbon.

Millinery

Tams of kolinsky, squirrel, beaver and sealsllin are in high favor at the moment, and the popularity of the tam in all it's pleasing variations may be expected to extend into the period when so-caled "between-season" hats are worn and possibly into the spring season.
 Many stunning hats for evening wear are extremely large, and are made with crowns of fiat fur and brims of chantilly lace or of silk net.
 Most unique is midwinter hat of black velvet, the crown and brim GOV. cred with monkey fur. In shape the model is an exceptionally wide. brimn1ed sailor with medium high cup shaped crown.
 A recently imported turban is draped with black satin and gener- ously studded with steel nailhead beads-a most interesting and effec- tive combination.
 On every side there is evidence of the preference for black millinery, and this is an economic procedure that has not detracted from the smar ap- pearance of women generally.
 Novelty flowers made of ostrich f1ues are arranged in cluster and used as single trimming motifs on hats of black velvet
