NJ 0 matter how quietly demure,
~ even severe the outside apparel,
every woman loves frivolous frills on
her intimate garments. Thompson,
Belden & Co., 10th & Howard, are
showing, on the second floor of their
store, the very loveliest petticoats of
the season. Fashioned on graceful
lines of sumptuously soft fabrics to
produce the slender silhouette, they
have chosen color combinations to
bring joy to the most artistic.
One in rich sapphire blue has
three lines of shirring at the head of
a founce which is finished in shall
low scallops edged in fringing. A
jersey with all-over Persian design
has deep accordian pleated flounce.
There are many combinations of
colors, all of them wholly captivat-
ing. One of green has figures, swirl
ling lines of purple, set into the deep
flounce. A royal purple with designs
of rose is a surprising combination.
Royal blue which picked, very
wisely, an old rose silk to set off its
beauty is proud indeed of the choice!
And original indeed is the purple
model whose achievement is Ro-
man stripe effect by use Of applied
bands of ribbon in different shades
of green, blue, rose, and gold. For
the wholly frivolous frock, there is a
flesh colored messaline with four
rows of satin ribbon frilled round
and round. These are charming
gifts of Christmas joy.
A tray cloth and bib I saw the
other day have a dear little boy
pictured thereon, who has three
bunnies, all of them eating big
orange carrots.

Portable Sewing Machine.
X, YER in search of something
- new, Polly has found in the
E. B. Williams Electric Shop, 3l2
South Eighteenth, a new sewing
machine which is full sized, yet no
larger than a travelling bag and as
easily carried. What joy to sew
with a machine run by electricity,
one which you do not have to
pedal, saving both time and energy!
Then, too, I've found sewing ma

these.
