She knows she looks her prettiest in

her prettiest and most charming. The
pity is that so few people she wants to

Lovely negligees are undoubtedly a

should be spared to have classes
opened in all of our public schools.
The people of Texas and California
are expressing themselves emphatical-
ly on this subject by petitioning for
kindergartens in accordance with the
provisions of their State laws.
The campaign for more kindergar-
tens originated by the United States
Bureau of Education, and has been
meeting with the cordial cooperation
of parents in all sections of the coun-
try. The more general extension of
this educational advantage will result
in a priceless wealth of character. in

Lace NegIigees Semi Formal
Laces are much used on summer
negligces, but mostly on formal tea
gowns. Two very handsome teagowns
for weekend wear are pictured. One
has lace over chiffon; the other, chif-
fon over lace, and it is hard to tell
which idea is the more alluring. The
first model has a wrap, or mantle, OF
cream lace flouncing, caught to the
bodice of the foundation slip at the
back of the neck. Holes are cut in

of the knitting craze only to pick up
dropped knitting stitches, has at last
come into its own. Now it is the once
so-busy knitting needle that is ban

hook has a place in the sun, twinkling
in and out of soft woods, flashing and

nified knitting needles ever dreamed of
flashing and frisking. All the old
crochet directions for scarfs and
shawls and caps have been retrieved
from their hiding places and "purl

been superseded by "chain 2, double

Crocheting goes faster than knitting.
The stitch is more open and one turns

hours that would have been spent

scarves and dainty shawls are again
spread across the laps of summer

army sock that every woman was knit

crocheted wearables seem a part of

There is nothing loveler in the
feminine wardrobe than a snow-white
negligee garnished with swansdown.
Never is woman so feminine, so ap-
pealing as when wrapped in one of
these exquisite white negligees. The
pictured model is a loose peignoir of
white Georgette. cut as austerely as a
monks robe, and with a monks grdle
of braided white silk cord. The robe

ers are heelless and arc of soft kid,
of ribbon or satin. All these pretty
slippers, in special compartments and
wrapped in tissue paper or perfumed
silk cases, are under the supervision
of the maid. And it takes competent
one to get my lady of fashion into and
out of her negligee garments and send
her, after the grateful hour of rest and
relaxation. to the next social engage
ment on time!
The Lady Tcazle Gown Is All Buttons
Buttons on a negligee are rather
new notion, but that they are very
smart, thus used, is proved by the IL
lustrated garment, a semi-formal neg
ligee called the Lady Teazle model by
its creator, perhaps because of its COM
bined dignity and coquetry. Here is a
comfortable lounging gown that Will
be quite presentable outside ones bed
room; a graceful costume that might
even appear at the family dinner table,
were its wearer little indisposed or
very tired after a busy day. Yet the
gown is all in one piece and may be
donned as easily as a kimono. 1t is
crepe de chine and the loose sleeves
are part of the garment, having no
armholes. The front is bloused slight
ly over a broad girdle that passes, at
the sides, through slashes and fastens
underneath at the back This device
gives the negligee a trimness that
makes II resemble a neat housegown.
The straight line at the back, from
neck to ankle is very graceful. The
pictured Lady Teazle gown is of pale
canary crepe de chine with rows of
little buttons covered with the ma
terial Tho loose sleeves have deep
hens of pale violet satin and across
the straight panel at the back are two
bands of violet velvet. A cluster of
silk flowers in two shades of violet is
caught against the girdle The gar
ment is in slip-on style and fastens on
the shoulder, under the rows of but
tons.
A Reading Gown For The Screened
Porch
Many bungalows and country cot
tages have screened in outdoor living
rooms provided with shaded reading
lamps, where one can enjoy a detec-
tive story by ones favorite mystery
writer until the wee, sma' hours, with
cool breezes blowing through the
screens and night moths, mosquitoes,
bats and other fearsome things safely
prevented from entering. Reading and
lounging gowns for these outdoor liv-
ing rooms are comfortably loose yet
they do not suggest peignor or
other intimate garment in their simple
straight lines A reading gown of the
type referred to is pictured; a cool,
little garment of soft
crepe de chine with a deep sailor co..
lar and a little bolero jacket stitched
to the plain gathered skirt above the
natural waistline. A ribbon sash at
tached at the back may be drawn in
