THE HOUSEHOLD
AS FAR AS YOU LIKE

1t really is very hard for you who
feel that you are primitive at heart -
this present day cult of the navy blue,
the black and brown. dark gray and
taupe How your natural cravings to
express your real soul yearnings for
bright roses. for leafy greens and azure
blues, for the shades of the sunset and
some that are too vivid even for sun
sets-how these genuine longings for
brilliant colors have been suppressed
when you arrive at maturity with the
unrefutable fact staring you in the face
that high colors in the street are not
in good form. They are not sensible
either, for it is task extremely diff
cult to look smart and to wear bright
colors outdoors--and one must be
smart and in good form even If one
must stifle ones primitive yearnings
into the bargain.
But when it comes to negligees you
can go as far as you like There is no
censor there. Your primitive color
craving can run on at top speed FoI
no one expects you to be drab and dull
in negligee and in fact the important
qualification of an interesting negligee
nowadays is that it should be of bright
color-preferably Of more than one
bright color.
Evening dresses, too, are vivid this
year, but negligees know no restraint.
One that is especially interesting SHOWS

Throughout the history of great

been an indispensable garment, used
for warmth and frequently just for

their blue drapery hanging from the
shoulders, but it has neglected to keep
the cape in the house. combining its role

NOW USED FOR BEAUTY
Recently this colorful drapery at the
back of the figure-which one calls
cape, for want of better name-has
been introduced into the drawing room.
1t has been found an advantage both
to the silhouette and to the comfort
of the owner. There are rooms in
which one dimes and dances. there are
halls to which one goes for supper,
where the cold and draughts make the
bare shoulders an unpleasant feature
