LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES.
COTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT
Continued.

\They say that speaking of angels
you hear the rustic of their wings I
wonder if that holds good when you
put down your thoughts about them
on paper
Just as | had decided in my own
mind to tell Ruth all about the pearl
beads, she called me up and said she
was coming over to luncheon BE
sure and put on your pretty negligee,"
were her parting words.
I fastened to do it and, Little Mar
quise, | don't believe that even in
your bouffant silks with their gar
lands of roses and delicate laces you
had anything more becoming than
that modern gown. 1t is queer old
blue Chinese brocade, as soft as a
rose leaf, and lined with orchid chiffon.
l presume you would think, little
Marquise, that the tight, narrow slip
looks very queer, but to my modern
eyes it is very beautiful, held on by
the narrow straps over the shoulders
Then over this underobe is hung a
long, loose garment of two straight
pieces sewed together up the back and
hanging in two panels down the front
This is Of the same blue brocade and
lined throughout with pinkinsh laven-
der Of the orchid shade. Then comes
what makes the real style and
beauty Of this negligee. The very bot
tom of the back panel is caught
around under your knees over the
two front panels with gorgeous
beaded ornament in blue and orchid
from lghtest to darkest shades.
it, as that back panel brought around
in front binds you just at the knees;
but oh, how well it looks. and I'm
not ashamed to say that after I had
put it on and redressed my hair |
felt much better. The girl who said
there is a satisfaction in being we'll
dressed that religion cannot give, said
something. Probably you won't I'M
derstand that at all. little Marquise,
but I do, and since these letters are
written more to get my thoughts. my
troubles. my griefs-and-yes my
petty jealousies-out of my system, I
think IT does not matter whether you
understand everything I say or not.
When Ruth came I knew that I
was looking my very best She ex-
claimed the moment she looked at
me. II knew that was your neglgee.
Leslie, the moment I saw it."
ut is very beautiful. Ruth, but il
must have been frightfully expen.

you are not to worry over that.
am giving it you" She hesitated a
moment and then went on. That may
sound funny TO you, dear because
you know I haven't any money, but
am going to have some and this
negligee comes out of my first profits.
Is Jack coming home to luncheon"
II hope not
IT'S it as serious as that. Leslie?"
smiled Ruth.
Quite I answered soberly.

Fashion Dictates Pajamas
for Milady's Negligee Suit
Most Popular Type Is Black
Satin or Crepe With
Bright Jacket,
By MARIAN HALE
NEA Service Writer

T1T1EW YORK. Nov. s.-You
I'M may be up to the minute in
Ill style when you dress UP
and go out In your finest finery.
But you're still far behind the times
IL you go to bed in anything but a
suit of pajamas.
Thus has Dame Fashion decreed.
And to execute her dictates, de-
signers have come forth with all
sorts of varieties of this masculine
attire for women. They have shown
what can be done for women, out Of
the IDEAS suggested by mans garb.
Manufacturers of nightgowns and
Of petticoats may we'll ponder sadly
upon the future of skirts when they
gaze upon these creations.
For the latest 1928 edition Of the
pajama is not merely a sleeping gar
any time when a negligee is per-
missible.
Many Types
They are made with a slipover
blouse and are sleeveless, or near
ly so.
Pongee, bound in color and en-
broidered with yarn, makes the
most practical and durable type, as
we'll as heavier wash silks and
satins. and the printed crepes.
These come in rich colors and COM
binattons OF color and may be
trimmed or untrimmed as one pre-
fers.
Then there is the very fluffy type,
made of delicate pink. blue, or
lavender crepe or satin, trimmed
with the lace and French flowers
and ribbons, and all the attractive
decorations Of the most feminine Of
lingerie.
But the most popular type of all
consists of a pair of black satin or
satin-backed crepe, with a jacket Of
red. green, or any bright colored
silk, with a picot edge about the
neck and sleeves.
Or the jacket may be of brocaded
satin. bound with ribbon. With this
arrangement, it is possible to have
two or three jackets with the same
pair Of dark trousers.
Embroidered, Too
One fashionable house is showing
jackets of handmade laces on
foundation of batiste or net. with a
little exquisite hand embroidery
thrown in for good measure. and a
sash of chiffon with long floating
ends.
Other luxurious models are made
entirely of black lace and georgette
with very wide satin girdles.
Though these suits range from
one to three figures in price, there
is consolation in the knowledge that
no garment is more easy to make at
home, and that there is no fitting to
bother with.

A NEW HEALTH CURE

NEW health cure is on the
IAI market. There are about
S thirteen millions of this cure
in the United States. A leading au-
tomobiIe official is authority for the
statement that after a careful investi-
cation it has been found that the au-
tomobile is the cause for an increased
lease on life.
In 1908, according to this official,
the average life span in the United
States was only 1854 years. 1t has
jumped to 48.66 years. "In this con-
nection it Is interesting to note that
in 1903 there were only 10,850 auto
mobiles in the United States In 1918,
when motor cars had increased to
461, 800, the life span Of the average
person had advanced to 41.01 years In
the last ten years the motor car pop
ulation has jumped to 1902, 427 and
the national life emergency has risen
7.65 years" This would seem to indi-
cate that the automobile is actually
making life longer and happier In all
tomobile reasoning.
Now comes DR.. Charles II. Mayo of
Rochester, Mimi, who states that
cleanliness and intelligence are tho
great aids in avoiding infection and
lengthening life. The boy of today has
twelve mere years coming to him than
his grandfather did. Five more years
could be added if every man and
woman would undergo a rigid health
examination when 40 years of age, and
follow health rules
DIR. James B. Eagleson of Seattle
says that medical science has advanced
the span Of life at least ten years
during the last quarter-century.
From the foregoing 1t would be a
matter of choice to decide the cause
for increased longevity. If a large
humber who ride in automobiles don't
worry too much about the upkeep and
where the money is coming from to
ray up the balance on the car. all well
ard good. 1t certainly takes them
away from four walls into the open
air and sunshine
But IL you are fair, fat and 40, look
out for trouble, II automobile riding
is all the health exercise you take.

1t is only the most gullible bride
who believes her husband always Will
love her just because he married her.
Most brides of today realize that they
will have to be ever alert to hold their
husbands love.
To be sure, the fact that a man is
losing interest in his wife does not
excuse unfaithfulness. But a wife
wants more than literal faithfulness;
she wants eternal love as well.
An especially tedious period Of mar
rage comes after the first few years,
when the newness has worn off and
monotony threatens. Then the wife

There are many small economies
that can be practiced in this course
that do not require any extra time.
Nor do they detract from the food

lettuce. Or fruit salad can be served
in an apple or orange cup. doing away
with any green except a thin slice
Of green cherry.
A simple vegetable salad should be
served with a hearty meat course.
French dressing is preferred to a rich
mayonnaise. A plain orange or grape
fruit salad served on romain with a
French dressing is ideal with pork
roast or rich fish. But a fruit salad
swathed In a rich dressing topped with
whipped cream Is a different matter
This sort of salad should follow a light
meat course and Is in better taste for
the luncheon menu than for the din
ner.
The vegetable used in the salad
should not appear in some other form
In another course of the same meal
The same is true of fruit. If apples
are an ingredient of the salad an ap-
pie pie should not form the dessert.
Asparagus Salad
Put canned asparagus in a large fat

ever to love anyone else, even his
wife, very long. Therefore, if a girl
does marry him, she must be ex-
tremely clever, to keep his love.
Your sister-in-law makes the mis-
take of letting your brother know
that she is clay in his hands; that,
no matter how far he may wander,
she is waiting to welcome him back
Instead, she should strive to keep
herself as attractive as when she mar
ried, to hold her husbands love, and,
at the same time, should never let
him take her for granted. She should
be ever the coquette, making love
to him at times and leading him a.
chase at other times. Other girls are
going to f1irt with her husband, she
knows She must keep a step ahead
of them.
He probably will come back. Let
her keep this in mind, next time.

American Beauties May Be Outclassed
When English Girls Come to Broadway
BY MILTON BRONNER

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
ONDON, Nov. 28.-Guard
your laurels, American
~ beauties, the British darlings
are coming!
Andre Chariot, the Flo Ziegfeld
of London, has chosen two dozen
of the lovliest of 900 pretty maid
ems
With his beauty exhibits A to X
- he will storm New York on New
Years Eve.
Half of his unusually trained
chorus will be composed of blondes.
All will be pretty of face, graceful
Of figure, supple in dancing, har-
monious in voice-a defiant threat
to the dazzling daiities of the Amer
lean chorus.
Chariot recently returned from an
inspection tour of the United tSates.
He carefully indexed the beauty of
the land.
Although he does not say so, it is
evident that he is confident the strik
ing women he has chosen to repre-
sent England III the DdIllS VI bSduly,
will emerge successful after a tilt
with the American types.
Nine hundred and seventy-six
girls, considered charming to the
unframed eye, were rejected by
Chariot for some slight affection,
such as,
Thick ankles.
Bad teeth.
Unkempt appearance.
Lack of expression.
Singing out of tune.
Stiff movements.
The most typical best looking,
cleverest dancing. tuneful singing

FIVELOSE LIVES
IN STORM OFF
DELAWARE COAST

Lewes. Del, April 14.-Winter
came back in the midst Of Spring
off the Delaware Capes early today
and in the short lived fury of a wind
and rain storm sank barge and
took five lives. The dead were four
members Of the crew of five of the
coal laden barge Stroudsburg and
Mrs. Annie West. wife of Captain
Frank West. of Sanford, Me-, who il
among the dead.
The other dead were Rolf johann
sen, home address unknown; Bris-
coe Kits, said to have lived at
Knoxville, Tenn, and an unidenti-
fed man, Prater Beach, of Granite
Falls, N. c.. was the only man res
cued. Kits and the unidentified
man died from exposure after being
rescued from the flashing sea.
The Stroudsburg and two other
barges were in tow Of the tug Jup-
tier of the Neptune Steamship Com
pany Of New York, bound from Nor
folk to New England ports. The
weather freshened off the Delaware
Capes last night and the captain Of
the tug decided to anchor for the
night in the lee Of Cape May, about
lille off shore.
The pounding Of the heavy seas
caused the Strpudsberg to spring q
leak and the water gained so rapidly
despite the efforts of the crew that
she soon settled and Captain West
decided to abandon her.
