t0F COURSE, there are all sorts Of
" fantastic nightgowns. We read
about them and we see them in the shop
windows and we discuss them. but most
of us do not buy them. Quite a gor
geous, not to say barbaric. nightgown
was recently shown in one of the shops.
1t was purple, with orange ribbons. In
Paris there are black nightgowns
trimmed with ostrich feathers. and some
are made with jet and bead trimming.
Then there is one shown by French
lingerie maker that shows very dimin-
utive foundation of cream chiffon with a
lattice work of lavender ribbons ex-
tending from about the knees downward
and terminating in a deep fringe that
extends to the ankles.
There is no right shoulder so far as
the chiffon goes on this nightgown. but
instead an arrangement of the lavender
ribbons that forms fringe that hangs
below the low cut neck. You are in :
terested, no doubt. But you haven t
felt any temptation to possess such a
lnghtgown-have you?
The fact is, that conservative. well
dressed women and dainty women are
sticking very generally to white or flesh =
colored nightgowns. and they avoid any
thing that suggests the barbaric. Crepe
de chine has been adopted as the fabric
par excellence for nightgowns by women
who can afford it. And really it is an
economy. for it wears infinitely better
than cotton fabrics and the matter of
laundering it is simpler. On the left of
today's cut you may see pink crepe
de chine gown trimmed with valen-

Answers Anxious Wife

The Worry Woman.
Try having some friends in and ask
your husband to stay home to meet
them. Suggest reading out loud to-
gether in the evening. make your little
home so pleasant and inviting and fix
yourself up so prcttily he will not want
to leave you and go out. Or will want
you TO go with him If he is going out.
Don nag or cry. And unless you have
reason to think he goes with others, put
it out of your mind.

Wouldn't Be Literary Theft

To the Editor Of Womdn's Pu0c:
Dear Madam read n very clever
joke in n magazine lately, Would it he
plagiarism to use this as n foundation
for a story? There was no name to it.
of course. yet 7 do not wish to practice
literary theft so carly in the game. If
it could be called that. | think that
YOU deserve great praise for the way
YOU conduct the column and your very
intelligent answers.
Thanking you for the answer | am
sure you'll give to my question.
A MERCENARY CREATURE.
1t would not be literary theft for you
to use the germ in the joke for the
idea of your story and then develop it.
Ideas must come from some place. 1t
would be plagiarism for you to take the
Joke. change the wording very little
blt and try to pass it on as your own
Joke. 1t is interesting to know Jack
London and o. Henry got many plots of
their stories from actual happenings as
recorded in the newspapers. Yet peo
pie say some of the things never could
have happened.
Will answer your second question If
you send self addressed envelope.
Ihank you very much for your praise
OF the column. Try to do our best.
