new features are introduced and-if
they prove pOpular-gradually estab-

swung away from substantial, weighty

ments and new kinds of garments
have encroached on familiar styles
and are taking their places. This is
the case with boomers and pettibock
ers that have now become rivals of
the petticoat, and, along with the
growth of their popularity comes that
of camisoles. Together they take the
place of the chemise.
Boomers find a reader sale than

Concernlno the "Knocker"

The appeal to smite the "knocker"
unfortunately Is timely almost at any
time, and in any community In the
United States. 1t has been said that
all kinds Of people are required to
make the world and apparently a few
kill-joys cannot be avoided even in
comparatively small bodies of pOpu-
latiOn. indianapolis has no more than

Of the lot may be inOrdinately ener-
getic, but even with all their activity
they are relatively harmless. They
are more annoying than hurtful and
should be squelched tnOre as public
nuisances than as detriments to the
community.
Such Is human nature that 1t Is easy
to get many people to listen to scan
dal or calumny, even though they do
not believe what Is said and have no
respect for the source from which 1t
comes. The "knocker" generally is
pigmy-minded and has nothing to say
that would be worth hearing. His
only hope to get attention is to repeat
some bit of disparaging information
he has heard or to malign and abuse
those whose names are sufficiently
prominent In official. business or other
circles to attract notice to his vapor-
lngs.-Indianapolis Star.

i, cloth, sateen and batiste. In silR.
the colors chosen for them are usu-
ally dark. They are simply made and
easily adjusted without buttons and
buttonholeS. Shirrings over elastic
cord or tape serve to hold them in
place at the waist and below the
knees. In white or pink batiste they
are usually trimmed with frill Of
lace at the knees, and occasionally a
band of satin in pale color, is placed
above the frill with hemstitching join
ing the two materials. The very up

ion for wearing boomers under street
clothes.
Camisoles have become important
because of the vogue for sheer Uiouses
and they are made of wash satin, rib
bons, laces or fine batiste and EN-
broideries. The thin. pink satin cam
isole leads all the rest, but cannot al
ways serve. A few dark ones are
needed to be worn under dark-colored

departure from severely plain styles
even sports hats are trimmed, but the
trimming Is of q character to suit
them, and distinctly different from
that which adorns tailored models. In

WINTER AND SUMMER SHRUB
Evergreen Is Recommended as the
Best of AlI-Contrasts That May
Be Made Pleasing.

Taking the United States as whole
the average time that deciduous plants
are without foliage is at least five
months. During this period the home
is occupied as continuously as in sum-
mer, and the surroundings should be
as attractive as possible, say land
scape gardeners of the United States
Department of Agriculture. Ever
green shrubs. both coniferous and
broad leaved, maintain color
throughout the winter not otherwise
obtained. Used in moderation, they
are distinct addition at this season.
On the other hand. many deciduous
shrubs have attractive winter char
acters. the most striking being those
bearing bright-COlOred berries. Then
there are barks of many shades Of
brown and gray, with some Of bright
red, green, and yellow, that if prop
erly arranged make pleasing contrasts
and add to the winter beauty.
The short blooming period of the
average shrub makes flowers the least
important of the characters to be con.
sldered. In spite of this the color.
character, and time of blooming
should be considered as well as the
behavior Of the dying flowers, whether
or not they fade to conspicuous and
undesirable color and hang on unduly
or pass away without d distinctly I'M
