Up-to-Date Features i'm Mules
BY MARY MARSHALL.

rather trying. The chief advantage
Of this type of footgear for neglige
wear was that 1t might be put on
without bending over. High heeled
mules are moreover very attractive.
But have you ever tried to walk
downstairs at night in a pair of
heeled mules without waking up the
entire household? Even a China
man couldn't do that.
Trust Occidental inventiveness
There are new neglige mules with
heel straps that hold them nicely in
place without detracting from the
''mulish" effect. To be sure, one does
have to bend down a bit to give the
little pull needed to draw the strap
over the heel, but in this day of slen-
der hips one would hardly voice an
objection to that.
Neglige slippers are an accessory
that most women consider an es-
sential detail in the overnight kit.
Still the very considerate hostess
makes a point of having pairs of in
expensive mules on hand for the
benefit of house guests who have been
improvident in this matter.
1t is possible to buy these little
slippers for as low sum as 25 cents
a pair True, they are rather flimsy
Japanese affairs of paper and light
straw, but they answer the purpose
when they are to be used only a night
or so by an improvident house guest.
So very easy to make and yet so
really lovely. That is what / think
you will say about the little evening
petticoat that can be made with the
help of this weeks pattern. 1t is
made of light pink or flesh-colored
crepe de chine, with pointed ruff1e,
and on each point there CLEANS
small rhinestone. That is what
makes it so unusual. If you want
to make one for yourself or friend.

envelope and / will forward you the

Neither can l." replied Mother
Brown. but evidently somebody

Later Farmer Browns boy said that
he knew nothing about that piece OF

would want of a piece Of carpet, a
doormat, an apron and a couple of

could reason out. 1t got so that she
didn't dare put anything in the way
of clothing outside for fear it would
be taken, and there was no trace OF
the thief. The things disappeared and
that was all there was to it.

induce the $4,000 American Legionnaires who go to
Paris for their next convention to visit England while
they are abroad. The things the British group will
offer as inducements worth noting
First it is trying to bring about improvements in
hotel facilities Also seeks the abolition of the SO
visa charge. And lastly expects to hurry develon

universities.
This last inducement may a smile to such as
think study is the last thing egionnaires are cross

England these days and how many more want TO do
so. good many members of the A. E. F. who are
