NAVY DAY was celebrated through.

which also was the anniversary Of

The occasion brought forth many ap-
peals for the maintenance Of the cff-
cheney of the navy personnel, which,
according to Rear Admiral Rogers.
should number not fewer than 100000
men. To maintain our ratio under
the Washington treaty, said the adj

'Crepe de Chine
Radiun1 Silk and
Chiffon Popular

Radium silk is wing this spring with
crepe de chine for the place of greatest
popularity in the making of lingeries.
1t has much to recommend it in the
way of it's wearing abiliyt. Then 1t has
that crisp softness Of surface which
| is an excellent foundation. And 1t has
the smallest portion of it, look SO much
more than it really is. Hand stitching
upon the surface of radium silk stands
out most effectively. and anyone who
has ever doEe any of it has the extreme
satisfaction of seeing their efforts
show forth in a strong imelight.
Chiffon and georgette crepe have by
no means been sighted in the design
ing and making of lingerie this season.
They have not that quality of making
a firm foundation. but for other
sorts of frocks and for certain types
of wear they have nothing to equal
them. Then there is just this about
the chiffon undergarments- slip
into the easily washed class remarkably
WELL The ironing necessary to put them
into shape after washing is almost
nil. They press or pull into place with
the greatest of ease. And, while they
have every appearance of luxury, and
extravaganza even, they still hold in
reserve that ability to adapt them
selves to frequent cleaning in way
that the heavier silks cannot do.
The filminess and gracefulness of
the chiffons and georgettes is some
thing to delight the heart of any wo-
man. She cannot resist at least one set
of them to make her feel her best
upon occasion. She likes the softness
and the apparent inadequacy of them
and when she needs daintiness and
laciness she can have it in this style of
lingerie to her hearts content.
Crepe de chine and glove silk have
lost none of their prestige in the cate
CORY of women's lingerie. They are
substantial stand-bys. the silks that
are tested and true. They give
every satisfaction and always will. And
in all of the designs you will find these
two materials being used over and
over again with the greatest success.

The 1922 suits, like all Gaul, arc di
vided into three groups.
The three piece costums as presented
by Harry Collins, is varied in express
sion, and introduces new and smart
conceptions of the street type. One
model which is especially significant is
designed to give the impression Of a
one piece frock. the short jacket f,n-
ishing at the hipline with braided
girdle which appears to belt straight
line gown. but when it is removed, the
gown is completed in bodice effect Of
green chiffon, points of the wool fab
ric of the skirt reaching up onto the
lighter fabric Of the blouse
Other suit effects which complete
frocks vary this expression, but in
every case the line of the jacket is
short, though sometimes straight and
again flaring, the sleeves are long.
while the cloth skirts ignore any ten

straight and narrow line.

spring and summer seasons. Those
who can in the least stand yellow as a
wearable color, should in some way use
it for their spring wardrobe. She will
not make any mistake in this direction
for it is bound to be accepted as one
of the ultra smart shades.
So this same shade works itself into
street clothes and becomes more shaded
into tan and bisque, but in these varia-
tions of tone it promises to supersede
gray, which has had such q run of
popularity for the last several seasons.
Top coats, suits, day dresses. afternoon
dresses and hats will be made of these
tan and yellow shades, to represent the
more conservative element of dressing
among these women who hesitate to so
in for brighter and more daring
shades.

A Girls Room Should
!. Reflect Her Personality

metal single bed is desirable for a
young girl. A slip on cover Of un-
bleached muslin is excellent for keeping
the mattress clean. Sleeping without a
pillow is often recommended, but the
bed needs at least one pillow to make it
look complete and this, like the mat
tress, should be protected by thin,
close fitting washable cover between
the ticking and the pillow case. The
sheets. blankets and comfortables
should be chosen with care.
An improvised dressing table can be
made by hanging mirror over small
,, table. This is to be preferred to dress
ing tables with flounces of cretonne
that collect dust. A bureau or chest of
drawers is needed for storing clothing
and personal belongings.
Bureau and table covers should be
as simple as possible and always fresh
and clean If there is room for only
| one chair. it should be a comfortable
| one. A book shelf and work table are
attractive touches. If there is no clos
ct. some sort of wardrobe is needed in
which to hang clothing. A good waste
basket, one that will not tip over easily
or shed dirt, should be provided. Many
girls make their own.
Shades and curtains should be chosen
to regulate but not smut out the lght
and air Simple durable, softly hang
ing material. such as white or cream
voile, scrim, Swiss or cheesecloth,
hemmed or hemstitched, make good,
washable curtains which may have over
curtains Of colored or figured mate
rial
The lighting is important. For read
| ing. table lamp is most satisfactory.
One or two well chosen pictures, sim
ply framed, add charm to the room.

"Midnight Blue"
and YellOw for
Street Clothes

Black has been 50 predominant
among the winter street fashions. and
we have became SO accustomed to see
ing it used in combination with grey
and cream and tan, that it is hard to
realize that it will ever 60 out as u
universal fashion. However, there are
strong rumors that midnight blue for
street wear this spring will take the
lead against this established supremacy
of black. There will be many to vel
come the advent Of this old tried and
true color. Most women have the
dark blue habit so strongly established
in their systems that they cannot face
the possibility of wearing any other
color. In fact, they cannot seem to
feel at home in black, smart as it may
be. Blue, when it is becoming. car
ries with it much charm and character,
though when it is not exactly the right
tone for the personality in question
there can be no other color more i'm
significant looking and more ineffect-
ual as fashionable thing.
For the brighter colors there will be
a great deal of yellow used in all of it's
varieties and tones. Especially the
light, lemon yellow seems to have a
great swing for popularity during the

You May Use Checks
on Bias or Straight,
but Use En-, Surely

Surely it's a checkered spring. There
are checks in woven block patterns,
and checks made by single barred lines.
There are tiny checks, big checks,
in-between checks. Some checks show
two colors, others three, and then again
there are the more subdued one
color fabrics where the weave makes
the check. You may use the checks on
the bias or on the straight; but use
them you must, for something checked
you should have if you want to look
smart this spring.
Besides the French voiles checked in
eponge. there are others in woven block
checks in color combinations so attrac-
tive-copper and beige, or strawberry
and cream. Then there are the smaller.
daintier checks of rose and white,
Harding blue and tan. lemon yellow and
gray. They all make the prettiest of
frocks and require but little trimming.
Sometimes Il belt is all that is neces-
sary; but to get the smart effect the
belt must be dropped low. often as low
as the hips. And Paris is advocating
not only one belt, but often three.
warns a writer in the Woman's Home
| Companion.
| Simple slip-on dresses of checked
Japanese crepe are too smart for any
| thing. worn with hats of the crepe in
the same checked pattern. Or If not an
all checked hat, then perhaps one OF the
new. cute little poke shapes. 1t may
be Of white pineapple straw with the
! checked note introduced in two or three
cotton tissue or gingham flowers.
There's nothing more fetching for
spring than the cape costumes. The
newest are the checked homespun one
piece dresses worn with capes in plain
| ao1ar Almost any girl would look we'll
| in blue and brown one, with plain
blue cape. The dresses are all one
piece and worn with dimity or batiste
blouses. having Bromley collars and
turnback cuffs.
When the spring days are too warm
for a coat or cape, there are the
scarfs. The best looking are checked
and finished with long wool frings.
Often the scarf is sold with sweater
and tam to match. The accessories want
to have their say in checks, too. There
are gilets, that start out SO subdued
in creamy white batiste or organdie,
but break away from their occurrences,
finisbing themselves with the brightest
of checked gingham or crepe collars.
There are dark-toned silk and wool
stockings. frightened with striking
checked stripes. You can buy hand
kerchiefs with gay checked borders and
others ever gayer, where the centers
are checked and the border white.
There are parasols of checked gingham,
lovely purses and vanities Of checked
silk and handkerchief bags straight
from Paris made of checked and plain
ribbons. Besides, there are link gir-
dies in about every color that one can
think of, that look like checkerboard
cut up in strips.
