80 HE woman who has Imagination
III and a little knack at sewing can
GA possess most lovely negligees at
w almost no expense at all She
makes them out OF discarded evening
frocks. In almost every party cos
tume-if you have the imag gination to
visualize it's a potential negliyee OF
grace and charm.
There is no hard and fast rule
about the cut OF a negligee. Mater
ials put together almost any way at
all will fall In the loveliest lines Of
grace, II they are party-kind OF ma
terials; sllken stuffs and chiffons and
the like, The tirst thing 10 be done
Is to make every bit OF material inn
maculately clean. The party frock
should be completely ripped apart
and every inch OF It washed and
ironed. Chinons, georgettes, laces
and even soft satins may be plunged
into the washtub with warm water
and soap fakes, Rubbing will not be
necessary probably--in the case OF a
party costume -- but the material
must be soused about IN the .oap-
suds and then rinsed several times,
and pressed out when almost dry.
Or you can tint your party frock
n richer color with one OF the clever
new dyes that are so easy TO manage.
A dingy white chiffon may be changed

every mother and nurse who knows
what It Is TO scrub little knees back

carry about with her. Her stockings
had 10 be held up with suspenders
and the suspenders had to be attached
TO a stout corded waist that would
stand the strain and pull. A flannel
pettlcoat was considered necessary
and over It must go a white potticoat,
both on Wristbands buttoned to tho
corded waist And IN addition there
were embroidery-trimm panties. on
a warm summer day this little girl
must have been very warm indeed.
But she managed TO pull through and

one wears a petticoat: a delectable

the figure and the negligee was voted
perfect success. Under IL went a
straight slip OF the lining silk--the
original skirt let down at the bottom
by ripping out the hem and adding a
facing: and at the top by adding
shoulder-straps made of the bodice
lining.
Two negligees >contrived from last

and either model Is quite sufficiently
smart TO go visiting over weekend.
In both cases new material was add

original decollete bodice was dis
carded and the panniers were used
to make the hlgher-necked. straight
bodice shown in the picture. Inex-

at the curtain cotmter!-was put in
the dye kettle along with the pink
satin, and both materials were coll

dyes that may be used for silk and
