NEW LINGERIE AND GLOVES
Dainty Underearments Are EmbroId-
cred; Shoes and Slippers Of Satin
and Velvet; Long Gloves

Lingerie is one Of the things which
have had an impetus during the sea.
son. There seems to be an idea OF
getting away from the old and well.
tried ideas and Of indulging In under
garments which are original and
pretty at the same time. Chiffon Is
the material most favored. The pale
yellOws and the shades Of mauve are
particularly attractive, and so are the
tones Of eerise and orange. For a
bright color in chiffon loses the heavi'
ness which might result from the use
OF a thicker material.
These dainty bits Of undergarments
are embroidered in thin rows Of flower
patterns and are generously helped
along by inlays Of hemstitching. Then
there are ribbons used not too con
spicuOusly and varying a little from
the general tone of the material.
Accordion plating is cleverly use,I
Two or three rows Of double hem
stitching, with the rest in plating, and
you have a slip which cannot be said
to have a serious rival. Laces are used
with caution and they are. Of course
most attractive when they are hand
made.
Shoes and slippers are often made
Of satin and velvet In Paris these are
cut with scarcely any vamp and they
are supplied with straps over the in
steps and with butterfly ornaments In
the place Of buckles. These are made
Of a bit Of gold or silver gauze and q
strip OF wire and some rhinestone
sparkles.
Gloves are another accessory OF
wOman's dress which have undergone
a change IN Paris In that they nc
longer are worn wrist length. Every
sleeve ends in a gauntlet glove or q
mOusquetaire glove or a long 14-but'
toned glove. There is always a wrinkle
around the wrist when style is in the
balance and sleeves that are long are
made tight enough for the glove to
slip over them. The shorter sleeves
expect the glove to meet them. Long
gloves decidedly are in again.

When Death Cool. II, STING.

There r. In the West Indies a very
curious superstition regarding death.
When a death occurs In a house all
the water in 1t should be regarded
as poisoned and at once thrown away.
The idea Is that death after claiming
his victim will cool his "sting" In the
first water he reaches, which thereby
becomes a deadly poison. No one can
tell what water has been touched. so
the safe thing to do Is to get rid OF
all that is within his reach and do
II at once.

McNARY SUGAR BILL,
CONTIN J NC BOARD, is
SIGNED BY PRESIDENT

Washington, Jan. 1.--Fresident
vii on has signed the McNary bill
continuing the United States sugar
equalizing beard through 1920. 1t
was announced today at the White
House that his signature had been at
tached before midnight last night.
Secretary Tumulty, in making the
announcement, issued this state
ment:
"The president has signed the su-
gar control bill. The bill confers dis
cretion on the president in the mat
ter of purchasing sugar from Cuba.
1t is doubtful whether it will be
pre- -icable or wise for the president
to exercise the power conferred, so
far as the purchase and distribution
of sugar are concerned"
Some of the Cuban sugar has al
ready been purchased and there is
no central control over sugar in Cuba
as there was last year, and it might
therefore be impossible for the gov
ernment now to step in and purchase
the sugar without increasing the
price to the consumer. The bill,
however, continues the licensing
power also and this power may be
used to assist in controlling the pro-
fiteering amond distributors. Much
Cuban sugar is coming in now and
the indications are that prices have
reached their peak and that there
will be tendency for prices to fall
in the next few weeks.
