Lace Charms It's Way Into the Spring Mode

DAYS
MS7W 77Sa0b
Lingerie. Lacy and
Dainty, Follows
SnUg-Lines
TINE cream Of the lingerie
mode is found in lace.
This day of daintiness is in
fluencing the unseen gar
ments Of milady as well as
the garments that meet the
eye. With so many sheer fab
RIGS developing frocks and
gowns it is Of special impor-
lance to the fastidious wo-
man that her undergarments
should reveal exquisite details of
feminine finery. Allure and charm
have, from the earliest times, been
associated with lace and now il has
chosen this most %opportune time
to weave anew its magic spell and
enchant US all. And it is the softly
tinted cream laces such as Alencon
that are bewitching us most sue
cessfully. They are used ON slips,
teddies, nighties, and all those
other little things" of crepe de
chine and satin.
II is also a fitting time for lin
gerie items to follow the snug lines
of the current silhouettes, elimin-
ating any suggestion of bulk or
falling into n of those detested
little wrinkles. Slips, in particular,
have developed a pleasing versa
tility Of length in accord with the
varying hemline of frocks.
Sketched today is a slip that ele-
gantly combines richness and del
icacy. II is created on white satin
with very pale ivory Alencon lines,
godets of which are set in the
skirt to lend fitness.
Regardless Of its brevity, a dis
cussion Of lingerie would be i'm
possible without some mention
being made of that all absorbing
subject, pajamas.
One of the most recent develop
ments Is the broad attitude
trousers are adopting TO meet a
changing pajama silhouette. They
are extremely wide around the
ankle lending the impression of a
very full skirt fitted at the waist.
The extended use Of soft Summer
time silks has no doubt influenced
the inception Of this style. Design
ers, however, should be thanked
for considering the cool possibili-
ties offered by voluminous trousers
in the coming torrid season.
Many of the latest models bring
Spring right into the library or
drawing room, for they are de-
signed for wear in any comfy cor
ner in the house, and are fire.
quently Of lowered print. One
such is the lounging suit Of

Ightful air of dressy infomality.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-I

THIS world of ours is really
= very commonplace.
Most of what we think and do
is very average, trite and or
dinary.
Is it not true that the ordin-
ary, the mediocre and sometimes
even the vulgar, to a greater or
less degree, dominate much
more than they should our
daily intellectual fare?
Take ordinary conversation,
for instance. Is 1t not just SO
much small talk with little or
no brain behind it?
Is it true. indeed, that we do
not like to think?
Is thinking q burden to us?
Do we wish merely to pass the
time and be entertained?
That there is a distant place
for entertainment in all our lives
there can be no question.
But entertainment need not be
commonplace.
Entertainment can be novel.
sprightly. Interesting.
1t can do something more
than merely pass the time.
Entertainment can actually
enrich our lives.
So long as we subscribe 20
cheap and ordinary things-no
matter what they may be-juSt
so long do we fail in deriving
the most possible out of our op-
portunities.
The mind is machine and
its product is thought. Remem.
Der that!
The normal action of the
brain is to think!
II we fall into the habit of
not thinking-Only Of receiving
and recording Impressions
then we are not using our brain
as we should nor are we getting
the best we can out Of it.
Try, for a change, to set your
self against the things that pa
peal to the popular taste, and,
instead. become acquainted with
better books, better plays. bet
ter pictures, better people.
You will soon learn that
their associations are more
lasting and fill a real void in
your mind.
They will make you think!
They will inspire you!
They will teach you life!
They will show you how to
enjoy life!
Don't be commonplace, but
don't, on the other hand,
swing the pendulum too far the
other way in the direction of
freakishnesS.
Few people realize the posi-
bilitieS that lie in their own
minds and especially in that
portion of it which we call the
emotional side.
But dormant, sleeping areas
must be awakened If we are to
discover the joys they may
yield.
Try, therefore, to exercise as
many brain, cells as possible in
order that you may live your
life as whole, as diversified,
and as deeply as possible.
When your interest flags 1t is
a sign that you are at least a
little fed up with your mental
and emotional fare.

You feel they should be
crushed for daring to compete
with you. or for disputing what
you look upon as your right of
way.
Those who have less train
ing, experience and education
you have no use for.
It is prepoSterous that they
should think Of meeting you on
equal terms, according to your
way of thinking.
You reason that If they had
1t in them, as you have, they
would be occupying as fine q
position as you have.

THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

Love Takes . Holiday
TN every model husband there
l. is somewhere a dead Don
Juan, whose ghost family haunts
him at this magic season.
When you reflect that Marc
Antony was not bachelor. but
just a married man on his sum
mer vacation. Cleopatra's con-
quest doesn't seem to have been
a feat worth all the fuss that
the poets and historians have
made about it.
When a loving pair have
reached the quarreling stage,
they can't be deferred by a little
thing like the lack of anything
to quarrel about. They can 0l-
ways scrap quite merrily as to
who has the sweeter disposition.
In choosing a wife or a motor
car, the. modern man apparently
thinks that it would be foolish
to select the solid, substantial
kind rather than the snowy,
speedy kind, when he may want
a brand new model in a year
or so.
This is the time of year when
the heart feels the wanderluSG;
and many a woman wishes that
she could take the bell off the
family cat and tie 1t around her
husbands neck.
Marriage, to a woman, is a
table d'hote affair, in which she
seldom has more than a choice
between something solid that
doesn't appeal to her. and some
thing light and tempting that
will probably disagree with her.
A mans "good-by" usually
means FAREWELL" A womans
farewell" usually means "Au
reVOir."
A strong-minded man can re-
sist anything on earth, except a
beautiful woman who comes to
him for "help and sympathy"
Marriageable men are like
melons: there are plenty o.
them to go all the way round;
but most of them get spoiled be-
fore they are distributed.
