AAD ATMOSPHERE OF HOME
"Hostess House" Would Have for
Americans In London.

It was an amusing incident that first
made the need of the hostess house
apparent in London. In 1917 certain
American members Of a Canadian unit
had business with the American am
bassador, but could come to him only
on Sunday. Mr.. Page suggested that
they come to tea at his house. Six of
them arrived, and Mrs. Page poured
tea in the drawing-room. It was very
CHEEKY and cordial, but somehow the
business hung over, They had to meet
another Sunday.
This time there were ten Americans
and the business was not completed.
Mr.. Page suggested a third Sunday,
and 20 Americans came to transact
business with him on that day.,
During the following week he sug-
gested that the Americans in the
Canadian unit who still wished to talk
to him should come to his house a
fourth Sunday and wind up affairs
with him, and on the fourth Sunday
the Page drawing room was packed
with soldiers.
The ambassador told his associates
about 1t, and one Of them chaffed an
American who had gone there to tea.
Ambassadors are popular with you
Yanks!" he said.
"Oh, the ambassadors all right I"
conceded the American. "But we
didn't attach much Importance to the
business. 1t was Mrs. Page. She
served us tea around an honest-to-
goodness log fire, with tea wagon
and fixings. It was greatw
And there you are! Mindful Of
those Sundays, Mr.. Page realized that
with the advent Of American forces in
England a substitute home for them
was an immediate necessity; so he
was the moving spirit in the estab-
lishment by the Y. NJ. @. A. Of the
American Officers inn at 8 Cavendish
square, London.

own homes. At the opera, the play,
in public restaurants, one sees clothes
in somber colors; but in the French
homes-especially in the Paris houses,
where women are involved in a social
system-there is a brilliant display Of
the British tea gown. It solves the
problem it satisfies the need for color /;
1t does not flaunt itself in the face Of
the public. 1t Is worn intimately.
cheerfully and artistically in ones own
home.
About the beginning of January the
Americans saw the attractiveness Of
this idea, and it was adopted in a
wide area of houses where women
dress well. In the smartest private
homes tea gowns were substituted for
dinner gowns, in the French fashion.
There has been little disposition on
the part Of the American woman to

The appeal Of the Aerial League Of

Quaint Boudoir Cap,

A pretty little cap that reminds one
family Of the head covering worn by
French sailors-in shape, not in color
ing-is made Of pale pink crepe de
chine. A straight band four inches
wide or so of the silk is edged with a
frill of inch-wide lace and banded
with rows of insertion to match. The
crown is made of fine Brussels net
over the pink silk and is divided into
four segments by straps Of narrow pink
satin or velvet ribbon, the center OF
the crown, where they cross, being
adorned by fluffy pink pompon.

Gloria was as delectable bit of
femininity as one could find at the
fashionable resort of Norhabor. Barely
five feet five in her French-heeled
boots, she had most alluring manner
OF looking into your eyes as if your
every gesture were precious to her.
Despite the alteration paid her, she re-

ways dressed in good taste, with no
little variety in her costumes. it is not
to be wondered that she excited the
admiration of the women as well as
the men.
And now the summer colony was
agog with excitement-for Gloria had
met her "hero." And this is the way
1t happened:
Arising one morning earlier than the
other guests, she slipped into her bath
Ing suit and ran lightly across the
stretch of sand, fairly quivering with
suppressed excitement and pleasure of
her anticipated plunge. Pausing a mo-
ment on tiptoe at the edge Of the pier
to drop her bathrobe and Judge her
dive, she stretched her arms obliquely
downward and. sailed through the air,
cleaving the water like an arrow. In
a moment her straight body could be

One of the reasons that America
Is wearing this tea gown at and after
the five o'clock hour is that the French
have taught her the economy and
pleasure of it.
Black, midnight blue, olive green,
beige and munitions gray have ruled
the outdoor costumery of the French
people since August, 1914. They have
worn white only at mountain and sea-
shore resorts, and then it was re-
stricted to sport clothes for the morn
