of course. They're so easy to
launder. But lots of folks are
finding the lightweight satins
convenient. Because they'e more
shadow proof. And because in
warm weather. outer garments
slip over satin instead of stick
ing to it.
But sheer materials are get
ting more popular. Ninon, geor-
gette, chiffon and sheer cottons.
Trimmings
Lace is favorite trimming.
But it's not quite as dark in
tone as it was in the winter.
Rose beige or a light castor
are best. And Alencon type
lace.
French type embroidery is
another favorite trimming. So
are appliques and point turque

In the sketches you can see
one of the so-called dance"
sets-bandeau and panties that
match. But of course they
aren't used only for dancing.
They're fine warm weather
combination under dresses that
aren't sheer.

What's in Fashion?
More Fitted Lingerie

NEW YORK, May 31.-Old
friends are visiting the girls
again! Petticoats!-or rather,
a petticoat.
Femininity, you know. It's
hit fashion hard. Made changes
in everything you wear. 1nclud-
ing lingerie.
First in its general silhou-
cite. Fashion has said the lines
Of summer underwear follow
body lines, more closely. You
can't wear loose hanging lin.
gerie with fitted dresses. Un-
less you want queer bulges
around the waist and hips.
Which of course you don't.
Fitted slips. Semi-fitted che
misses. Panties on flat-hipped
yokes. Try them and see If
your new summer clothes don't
look better than over your last
summers underwear.
Lower Backs
Lower backs on slips, too.
That's because so many sum-
mer dresses have lace yokes, or
yokeS of sheer materials. And
a high back slip shows through
and breaks the symmetrical
line.
And petticoats. They're the
things to wear with suit cos
tunes and with two-piece dress
eS that have tuck-in tops and
yoked skirts. Because while you
do need a garnet under the
skirts, you don't want extra
shoulder straps.
These new petticoatS have
snug-fitting hips. On yoke tops
as a rule. Slips and petticoats
are longer, too. Because dresses
and suits are longer.
Ensemble Sets
Fashion wise women are buy
ing their summer underwear IN
ensembled sets. Chemises, slips,
panties and bandeoux. Same
material same color
same trimmings.
Not that this makes any diff
ference in the fit of outer gar
ments. But it's just one of
those little niceties that so
many women like. And, as you
know. the tendency in all fash
ions these days is toward more
complete enSembling.
Smart COlOrS
Fashion, wise women are con-
sidering the color of their
outside clothes when choosing
underwear. Because SO many
dresses are of sheer materials
and the color of the lingerie is
apt to show through.
White, flesh. peach and egg
shell are the colors most in fash
ion for summer lingerie. All del
icate tints that show very little.
And even if they do, they blend
with costume colorS.
Silk crepes are still in the lead,

to Aid Husband
Taking time off from
social activities to further
the political ambitions Of
her husband, Mrs. Dwight
Morrow is campaigning for
Ambassador Morrow's can
didacy for nomination to the
Senate.
At a recent meeting in
Paterson, N. j., of the
woman's division of the

her husbands work as am
bassador to Mexico, she said:
He is the hero of the
piece, but I am not the
heroine.
Tours the State
Mrs. Morrow, while touring
the State, does not make any
campaign speeches. She chats
with the women in her audi
ences, telling them homely lit
tie items of gossip about the
campaign and her family.
She smilingly told theaadVice
she had received in Bergen
county from a woman who sug-
gested that she not permit pic
lures to be taken of her during
the campaign, If you want to
win any votes for your huS-,
band"
Now what sort Of remark is
that to make to woman who
just bought a new hat and
dress?" Mrs Morrow ruefully
asked. She said that when Mr..
Morrow was debating the queS-
tion of going to Mexico he
asked many people, What can
I do there?" He answered it
himself finally by saying, i
can like them" Mrs. Morrow
said that this attitude of mind
brought many rich friendships,
was the basis for his success in
Mexico.
Speaks in PIainfieId
Mrs. Morrow was the guest of
honor and speaker at a tea
given in the high school audito-
rum in Plainfield, N. j., by the
town committee of the Nor

On this occasion she said:
eff my husband were pres
ent he probably would not ask
anyone to vote for him, but l
will go step further and say
that if you do vote for him
you won't be sorry"
She was we'll received by the

Fashions
In Silver
Ware
By Wilma La Vile

Fashions have changed as
much in entertaining as they
have in clothes. This is par
ticularly true in Washington
where entertainment is a fine
art.
There are two very notice"
able trends that make hos
pitality more charming for
everybody concerned. The first
of these trends is toward
simplicity. No longer is enter
tainment necessarily elaborate.
No longer do we sit down to
meals where an enormous
amount of food is consumed
nor where the serving is done
in fussy or extremely formal
manner.
The modern hostess now at
tempts only what she can do
with ease and happiness. All
of her plans are made after
she has taken into considera-
ton the number of servants she
has and the amount Of equip
ment in her home, including
such things as silver and glass
ware.
The second trend is one that
is seen in all phases of life.
In our clothes we notice a
tendency toward real Jewelry,
toward Paris fashions and bet
ter fabrics. Following the same
line of thought, modern women
are selecting sterling silver for
their homes and they prefer
fine china, glassware and linens
to those that are more in the
nature of a fad which would
have to be discarded in a few
seasons.
If YOU cam ot afford solid sill
yer. there are many of the same
tasteful patterns in plated ware
that will look as lovely on your
table, and if you would be fash
ionable in Washington, choose
a pattern of early American
origin, as most Washington
homes are of colonial feeling
and the silver is better If 1t car
ries out the same atmosphere.
There are several traditional
early American patterns to
choose from; for instance, the
Mary Chiffon" "LaFayette" or
the Virginia Carvel." In the
photograph of a beautifully set
table. which we are publishing
today, the silver is the very sim
pie "LaFayette" pattern. which
harmonizes perfectly with the
colonial interior.
The Candlesticks as you will
notice are in a very simple
design also, and the china is Of
a corresponding period. The
glassware is particularly inter
esting as it is not too formal or
dainty for it's Early American
setting which reflects the
pioneer spirit Of that t1me.

hos ANGELES, Nov. 1872
Illustration Of an alleged plot by
q well organized gang kidnap Harry

American Newspaper Publishers
Association, was claimed by the

necessary precautions to prevent
execution of these plans" Fits said.
In a statement last night
