on Christmas day, and that aside from
the fact that there would be very little
display of presents. nothing should seem
out of the ordinary. 1t was much easier
to keep up her own spirits than to be
certain that Henry would act naturally.
He was keen for talking the Whole matter
over with the family when they were all
together and getting their advice as to
what was best to be done. While she felt
there was no necessity to bring up the
subject in any greater detail than was
necessary or to indicate to any Of them
that there was occasion for serious worry
yet. She dreaded Bellies comments and
her brothers suggestions that would
help them not particle, and would prob
ably only result in plunging Henry into
deeper gloom.
Helen and Roger were puzzled at their
mothers abstraction and their fathers
worried face; something entirely new
in their young lives. Only Betty romped
and shouted with glee because Daddy
didn't have to go to the office.
The Bride had made great preparations
for the Christmas tree party which was

the H0opers. Auntie Belle. who begged

candy and small gifts for the children,

the week. and the feeling she had In
her heart that there were stormy and
troublous times ahead for them with
the coming of the new year, she vel
coined the relaxation OF weeping at the
sight of the children's pleasure What

Of this jolly Christmas. Instead of be-

have made it for them had they been
alone, it would be enc of the most spec
tacular or any they had ever had. thanks

TN THE realm Of special privilege
4 that is within the four walls Of
hOme-all sorts of negligees blossom
out, as varied and unlike each other as
flowers In a garden. Here splendor-
loving women can go as far as they
like. drawing inspiration from all
quarters Of the earth and of other
lands; and this is what they do If
anything odd or beautiful happens to
be overlooked by them, some kind
genius among costumers is sure to
bring the neglected treasure to their
notice in an alluring form, to his gain
and theirs.
Considering everything the two neg
ligees shown in the picture above are
quite unpretentious. One Of them in
rose and blue georgette is lovely and
fragile looking affair Ia which old
blue in a soft shade is posed over rose
color, the blue over-garment showing
a wide embroidered border at the bot
tom and narrow embroidered bands on
the bodice. The underslip provides the
brief kimono sleeves. and narrow satin
ribbon the loose, long girdle weighted
with beads and ornaments at the ends.
The loose. straight hanging coat Of
satin at the right, resembles a kimOno

skirt, somewhat longer than the pass
ing styles, and sash of brightly
striped ribbon finished with knot and
tassel at the ends. The hat of silk
and cellophane braid has narrow
brim and the shoes are plain kid
pumps with baby French heels.
The suit at the right is dignlfied
model, which might be worn by an
older woman. Its coat has bands Of
cire ribbon as decoration on collar
and skirt, which Is quite full; 1t owns
allegiance to the coat-sleeve and is
one Of the few models having a wide
belt that definitely defines the waist
line. The skirt Is little longer than
the average and quite plain; the tur-
ban is of deep blue Batavia cloth and
cellophane braid and the smart shoes
of suede with strap over the instep
and the fashionable baby French heel.
