FOR The NEG. IoEE
Washing Satin, Flannel de Sole
or VelourS Are Good.
Garment Offers Greater Possibilities
to Women for the Expression
of Individual Ideas.

The province of the negligee. nova
days. observes a fashion writer in the
Christian Science Monitor, may be
anything from a dressing gown worn
In the bedroom, or a breakfast gown
slipped into until we are able to gain
some idea as TO what the weather is
going TO be for the day. and so clothe
ourselves accordingly, TO an informal
dinner gown worn for the coy din
ner at home. In all its differing func-
tons it offers great possibilities TO the
woman of taste for it gives greater OPP
portunities perhaps than do other gar
ments for the expression of individual
ideas.
For the morning wrapper washing
satin or flannel de sole is a good ma
terial. and some interesting color
schemes might be worked out by a
lining of the same material in another
color with a long turned over rolled
collar fastening to one side below the
waistline. and also turned-back cuffs.
Some very attractive negligees are
made of velOurs cloth in magyar fash
ion, with just a hole at the neck to
get into, and draped at the sides !;
vel0urs cloth, with its peachlike bloom,
is an excellent material for all draped
effects, and it may be had in very de-
iightful cOlOrs; il is also very warm
for chilly evenings. a very dainty tea
gown seen recently was fashioned of Il
cream velOurs cloth edged with brown
fur at the neck and sleeves, heavily
embroidered with pale rose silk. and
pale pink MORE ribbon run through
two slots at the waist.
Another gown of an entirely differ
ent type, and which is more in the ma
ture Of dinner gown than a negligee
proper, is the lace underdress which
is worn with a silk or velvet coat.
These dresses are very dainty and at
tractive and can be carried out in
many different ways. The underdress
which is in itself a complete dress and
can of course he worn without the
coat if desired, may be made entirely
Of piece lace. or it may be made Of
lace flOunceS or of spotted or plain
net with bands of lace inserted in diff
ferent patterns.

good effects of the war. The coun-
try needed such savings stamps long
before they were issued to meet the
demands of war finance. They have
done much to teach thrift, particular
ly to children, and they have given
many foreigners, suspicious of all
banks, the opportunity to make their
savings productive and at the same
time absolutely secure. II is safe to
say that the savings stamps will new

minister to the needs of many gener-

tones OF RUST
LEAD TO BROWN
New Red Types Run From Dark
est Into High Tints That
Touch on Russell and Gold.
GREElI IN FASHION'S FAVOR
Shade Is Promised Bright Future, Es-
pecialIy the Dark Bottle and Olive
Hues-Navy Blue Losing
Popularity.

Color. always an important factor
in fashions. is claiming more than
usual attention this season. This is
practically the first time. notes a Paris
fashion correspondent, that the Paris
dressmaker has had an opportunity 10
launch absolutely postwar cOlOrs. Dur
inc the years that have succeeded the
signing of the armistice il has been
largely a question of using up stocks
of both manufactured goods and raw
materials. But throughout the sea-
sons which have interviewed the French
manufacturer has had time TO readjuSt
himself TO a new regime. 50 that what
is being shown this winter as novelty
is actually new. Hence the new col
Ors appearing for 1927 are worthy OF
more than passing mention.
Strong, well determined and definite
describe the tones shown on the color
cards for next spring. The choice of
the Paris dressmaker and milline' is
equally well defined. Red is the pres
ent winter novelty. and ii is antici-
pated thar its favor viii be increased
in the spring. In the new red series
rust shades sill are immensely popu-
lar.
7ust Color Leads Into Brown.
These rust tones gradually lead to
brown, n color i'm high favor and shown
in Il very large assortment of tones,
running from the deepest so-called
black browns into high shades that
touch on russell and gold.
There is TO reason why red and
brown ever should have been consid-
cred as belonging to the autumn and
winter. They ere infinitely more suit
able to wear in Tie springtime. When
the little green buds are shooting
forth on the trees and nature every
where is putting on new dresses we
feel that we must be in keeping with
our surroundings by being clothed in
fresh new raiment and no color
adaptS itself so readily and so cheer
fully TO the mood of spring as bright,
warm red. Nor does it ever show off
to greater advantage than in such a
setting rs the soft green of new foil
age. Later i'm the summer. when the
streets are hot and dusty and the
leaves parched and brown. red is not
attractive.
Green is another claimant for fash
ions favor and big future is prophe-
sled for it, particularly the dark bot
tie and olive shades.
In the new cotton materials for the
coming summer greens are prominent.
1t is interesting to notice the exact
ness with which all the shades seen in
silks have been reproduced in cotton
fabrics. There are lovely deep-green
organizes. with shadow printings in
lighter shades of the same color. OF

Patience is one of those graces of
the spirit that is Indispensable to the
Christian character. There is whole
book or the Bible devoted 10 this grace.
But outside of all religious considera-
ton, in its technical sense, patience is
one of the most practical and effective
of the virtues. 1t does "a great deal to-
ward the making of a true man. 1t in
dicates a strength and poise of charac-
ter that give one faith in the man who
reflects this virtue, says Ohio State
Journal One cannot have faith in a
man who is constantly fretting and
Tuning. 1t shows him to be sort of
feather driven about by the wind and
impossible to tie to. Religion without
patience is diluted article. Citizen
ship is very much concerned in this
grace. The impatient citizen is al
ways getting himself and others in
trouble. He has not a particle Of re-
spect for the axioms of life, and is
therefore wavering, incOnstant and I'M
reliable. He must needs be watched,
and if he is q religious man, his reli-
gion is to be doubted.
