FOR WOMEN AS WELL As MEN.
This free evening vocational school is
not for men alone but Is intended Tor
women as well; the only restriction being
that those who attend must be over 10
wears Of age, and not attending day
school.
Two courses for women are to be Of
fe7ed In home-making, TO be followed
late with other courses, II the women
get behind the enterprise and make It
clear that there Is a need for this type of
Instruction. One course will deal with
foods. Their selection, purchase and
preparation. This course viii not be
highly technical Its ann viii be to deal
with the woman in the home, as she has
to deal with the daily problem Of max
ing both ends meet, yet supply food Of
the right quality on her table. A similar
course will be gwen on clothing for the
family, in which the problems of what to
purchase. market values. the use of pat
terms, operations of the sewing machine,
making and repairing, viii be dealt with
While this IS an evening school, in
which these courses are offered, it is be-
lieved that most women have more time
in the afternoon, rather than in the
evening. If this proves to be the case IN
Wilmington, these courses will be gwen
in the afternoon, from 8. 80 to $50, rather
than from Z 30 to $50 IN the evening.

The colors Of the new underthinS
become more and more varied. The
tradition of white for purposes Of this
sort has almost vanished. Now, any
pastel shade is used and the more un-
usual 1t is the better. We have seen
the outer effects of black and red and
orange underclothes and marveled at
them, but, nevertheless, we have set
tied back into n casual acceptance Of
colored underwear as an everyday pos
siblity. In chiffon and in crepe de
chine and satin the COiOrs vary through
all tones and shades and even in the
cotton materials there is seen every
variety Of tone.
On the tinted underclothes there is
much use Of embroidery In silk threads,
in woolen threads in mercerized
stitches and even in COlOred cotton en-
broidery stitchings. 1t is considered
much better TO form an edge by but
tonholing of some contrasting shade
than to resort TO the old method Of
just making a hem. Then there are
the long wooden stitches, which show
TO their best advantage on the thin
chiffon things.

Colors Become More Varied

From underwear TO negligee is but
slip, and II does seem as though we
are paying more attention to the grace
ful and becoming robes dinterieur
which so long have been n necessary
part of the wardrobe of a French wo-
man. Never before have we shown
such interest in the gowns which are
for private appearance only.
The lines Of the new neglIgees are
simple enough, but the trimmings grow
more gorgeous as one season melts in
to another On the newest ones there
are layers of chiffon so constructed
that the things look only like floating
clouds. Every trick and scheme is re-
sorted to that the garment may be
lightness itself. Lace is used lavlshly.
Sometimes 1t constitutes the overdress
and then again 1t is used for the foun-
dation slip so that only suggestion
of its lovelness shines through the
OVERLAPPING chiffon. Silk lace trims the
edges Of other chiffon negligeRs, being
carried around the long lines Of the
outer edges and giving the effect Of
something not quite tangible in itS
elusiveness.

HE WANTED 1T RUBBED IN
Congressman Evidently Was Not Sat
lsfed With Knowing Himself to
Be Fool

A wealthy western congressman,
says the Argonaut, much against his
WILL erected a magnificent mansion in
Washington to please his wife and
daughter. The congressman was Of
plain tastes and had no liking for the
social activities of the national cap
ital. One day an old friend visited
him. Wearing a face of the deepest
gloom, the owner Of the stately home
escorted his caller throughout the
place. The visitor was admiring and
enthusiastic, but the host said little
or nothing. When the inspection was
finished and the two had returned to
the library on the first floor, the Wis
itor said:
"Wen, jim, you certainly can't say
that you haven't everything that you
want"
Eyes, I can," replied the millionaire
soberly; 81 want n parrot"

However, once the situation has been
studied we find that. we need not at
once join the ranks of the wearers Of
heavy muslin underwear unless we be
so inclined. There are ways to dodge
around these counters Of thicknesses
and paths that lead to more attractive
displays, though the result brings ever
the inevitable conclusion that much
money is needed for a respectable look

The chiffon and silk lingerie is more
dHintily made than ever before and
more originally conceived. But 1t looks
as though the fine French underwear
made of dainty nainsook or handker-
chic linen were wedging its way to
the foremost ranks. During the war
we were deprived of this type of un-
dergarment, but It Is, after all, the
most attractive sort of lingerie and,
slowly but surely, It is marching to
