lngs. for example, presenting a gold
lace inset, and again gold stockings
revealing a black lace inset. OF course
one also finds stockings Of this type
entirely Of one color. IL that II pre-

silk and black with black. Hosiery OF
this description has entirely sup
planted the more ornate embroidered
stockings.
Now as to the heavy cashmere
stockings. 1t ia the young girl who
fancies them rather than older wom-
en-, and as they are by no means cheap
they will make an acceptable gift-ons
or more pairs. The heather mixtures
are very popular and the plain colors
with ribbed stripes are also liked
There are new golf stockings which,

| Some novelties in the way OF gaiters
come from Paris. They are made OF
silk over an elastic band, and senti-
mental Parisians have the name Of the
absent soldier embroidered in a littls
medallion at one side. I have found
some especially attractive models oc
this sort in famous shop. They are
made OF black satin with narrow frills
and a trailing garland OF pink roses
ornaments them. They accompany
mules OF black satin which differ from
the~mules for ordinary bedroom use.
asbAcross the instep there is a little
strap OF black satin ornamented like
the garters with a garland of tiny
roses A lovely pair Of these mules Is
made of canary colored satin covered
with exquisite lace left to pull around
the ankle.
The Boudoir Jacket.
A boudoir jacket of pink matelasso
is an ideal gift for ore who loves these
dainty boudolr things-and what wom-
an does not? One have in mind il
warm enough to give comfort and
pretty enough to look well. The collar
falls away from the throat and has a
frill OF pink chiffon outlined with
swansdown The sleeves are trimmed
with the same material. Another bou-
doir Jacket Is Of pink albatross with q
trimming OF white broadcloth slaShsd
to make a fringe.
1t used to BE- the handkerchief that
was the very present help in time OF
1ndecision as to a gift; but nowadays
the camisole bids for the handler-
chiefs place in popularity. One can
never have enough, and now that ex~
quisite metal tissues, thread lace and
rare ard unusual ribbons are being
made up into these necessities the
camisoe will be famed Christmas
gift, ] am sure.
Some new slips to be worn in these
petticoatless times are made of silver
cloth, very decoliete, and sleeveless of
course. Faith, hope and tiny narrow
ribbon across the shoulders keep them
in place. Anyway they are distinctly
desirable, as they fail from the Shout
ders to the knee and serve as camisolo
and petticoat too. One of black shadow
lace will be welcomed for wear with the
fashionable black evening gown, and
one of real Brussels lace is charming
FOR n white dancing frock or for IL
bride
Until the laundry situation returns
TO normal the cotton crepe undergar-
rnert will enjoy deserved popularity.
\ cAmisole and a robe de mutt Of white
cotton crepe make useful and attrac-
tive set. Just at the front of the yoke
OF each is appl!qued a pink satin rose.
Neither garment has sleeves and both
have pointed shoulders
For the hair stunning combs are
made OF fligree Jet; that is, the Jet
arrangement is copied from the Italian
filigree of former days and Is as frag-
lie and beautiful as possible. The
newest hair ornaments, however, are
Victory wreaths made OF gold laurel
leaves They are exquisite and en-
trcme!v becoming. one lovely model
has tiny oak leaves revealing little
golden acorus now and then. American
women have won tho right to wear
Victory wreaths. which are appropri.
ate for a Victory Christmas.
