Crepe de chine is among the most

woven and cOlOred, and adapts itself
to gracious draperies after the manner

wherever else daintiness, gay color
and durability make a combination to

DERHAPS the main reason why
l. negligees stimulate the fancy Of
designers into unusual flights is that
these artistic souls may select any
style of drapery from any period of
history In any quarter of the world
and use 1t as they see fit, for these
intimate garments. The lovely drap-
cry of the Greeks with a charm that
Outlasts the passing of centuries, en-
tees 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. The designer has
made 1t beautiful without forgetting
to be practical and has introduced
novel decoration that makes a har-
mOnious finish. Orchid pink crepe de

Tests Love by Carving
Initials on Her Chest

Paris, Ill-A story that has
shocked the community came to
light by the arrest of Glenn
FOrSman, a farmer, living near
here.
A young man named Jack
Rogers and his wife occupied a
house on the FOrsman farm. The
landlord became infatuated with
the woman. With threats Of
death he drove the husband
from the place and, locking the
wife in a room, held her pris-
Oner for several days.
Becoming enraged at her for
some cause, he carved the let
ters, Sc. F." on her breast.
Forsman was arrested and
brought to the city, where he is
held under heavy bonds. A lit
tie later Mrs. Rogers was found
and brought to the city by
Sheriff SiSOnmOre.
Feeling was aroused which
for a time seemed to threaten a
lynching.
Mrs. Rogers, who is nineteen,
SAYS Forsman told her he
sought to "test her love for
him."
She says she was given an al
tentative of the carving knife
or the branding iron.
The initial &c" was carved
one day and the initial IF" the
next. Both were deeply cut and
more than two inches high.
