February 81. 1919: By rcques,D
There is an hour before the dawn,
Ere Nights lone sentinel has gone.
When Erebus reigns supreme
y moment in the whirl of days
TwiNt blacks and the unfolding grays
= place OF parting on the ways
For Nestna and her Dream
Like some black island lost in seas
tnrufacd by a single breeze,
That hours a lonely Thing!
y deadly stiffness everywhere
Surcharges the unmoving air
y soundless void beyond compare,
To which no thought may cling.
And times there are when I conceive
That hours the time when spirits leave
Their earthly habitat!
That hour before the dawn--that breath
OF time--e cry from Nazareth
The challenging OF Life and Death
That Hour they're all in That.

For the most beautiful negligees de-

crepe de chine and lace. The handsome
negligee pictured takes advantage of a
beautiful color in georgette, lays the
material in plaits and Grapes it in
long lines. A sash of very wide soft
ribbon is brought across the front OF
it ending in a loop under the sleeve
drapery at the left side. The trans
parent goods make opportunities for
posing one color over another, and
negligees may be as colorful and fam
ciful as butterflies.
Now that oriental modes have go
great an influence in fashions, many
Of the new models in negligees are
made of georgette or crepe de chine,
with coats and trousers. Many of
them are in vivid colOrs, as peacock
and turquoise blue, rose, jade or en-
