DERHAPS the main reason why
L negligees stimulate the fancy Of
designers into unusual flights Ii that
these artistic souls may select any
style Of drapery from any period Of
history In any quarter Of the world
and use It a. they zee at. for these
Intimate garments. The lovely drap-
cry Of the Greeks with q charm that
cutlasts the passing Of centuries, en-
does them more than anything else.
hence the prevailing long lines and
graceful Arrangements Of drapery
that characterize the indoor apparel Of
women Of leisure.
Lovely drapery and beautiful color
contribute their part to the success Of
the simple model In negligees which
Is pictured here. Thu designer has
made It beautiful without forgetting
to be practical and has introduced q
novel decoration that makes a har-
monious finish. Orchid pink crepe de

loops Of satin ribbon forming tabs
that outline the classic draperies.

A blaze started on the roof Of GER
tain residence, which was discovered
by the lady Of the house, who hap
pened to he alone at the time and
without telephone in the house. She
ran TO her nearest neighbor and gave
the alarm, then with a couple Of pals
proceeded to haul water up a ladder
to the burning roof. Inside Of two
minutes the street in front Of the
house was filled with people, each one
yelling advice to the woman on the
roof, some Of the women crying and
bewailing the fact there was no real
fire department, while considerable
number Of both men and women tore
through the house grading articles Of
furniture and rushing out on the lawn
and street with them, yet strange to
say, only couple of the men present
bethought himself to get a pail and
carry water to the roof. The woman
on top had to call down three times
for help. Advice galore was handed
out and children ran riot everywhere.
Finally, the volunteer firemen arrived

dancing around, trying to be Of help.
yet doing absolutely nothing, simply
because they were too excited to think.

SOMETHING WORTH KNOW
ING IN CASE OF FIRE

1t often happens that a small fire
will occur in some part Of the house
which can be extinguished with a
pail of water or a FIRE extinguisher.
However, it is safer to Immediately
summon help. II the fire is inside the
building, close the windows and il pos
sible, the doors, since air and draft
are sure TO spread the blaze. A
tiny blaze will often grow beyond any
hope Of extinguishing it before the fire
department arrives, simply on account
Of the air from the open windows.
In case Of fire the first most import
ant thing to remember is KEEP
YOUR SENSES. Don't loose your
head. When the fire starts from an
overturned lamp, or an oil stove, or
from the curtains catching fire, the
blazing articles should, if possible be
thrown out at once. Smother them
in a rug, or heavy covering at hand,
and hurl them thru the window, never
mind the glass getting smashed.
Water is Of no use in an oil ex-
plosion, but dirt thrown on it will as
sist greatly in smothering it.
Fire at all times is more dangerous
to women than to men, owing to the
texture of women's clothing and be-
cause of their hair. Women should
never, if absolutely possible, go near
. blaze. Where it is necessary, first
throw water over your person. Child
rem should be kept away from fire.
They are excitable and may get hurt,
besides getting in other peoples way.
If you have the misfortune to get
caught in room which is full Of
smoke, remember that smoke rises in
the air and that there is always q
current near the floor, therefore, if
you possibly can wet blanket, cloth
or if this cannot be done, your own
clothing and throw yourself on the
floor and crawl towards the exit.
1t is the safest thing to always keep
in a handy place one or more good
fire extinguishers, which are now sold
on the market. But whatever you do
when a fire on your premises starts,
KEEP YOUR HEAD.
This reminds US of a fire in Gunni-
son some time ago, before we had
our present efficient fire department.
