~ONTINU1NG the brlQal lneme
which was started last time,
bridal lingerie and gowns
~ might prove an interesting
subject. We found it so fas-
cinating that it was difficult to choose
three items to sketch out OF so many
beautiful and entirely different de-
signs.
The two gowns shown with lace
trim are of white satin and have
matching slips and step-ins. The
gown with the sleeve rufdes is slit at
the bottom on both sides, and this
same detail is found on the match
ing slip. These may be bought as sets
or separately. The gown with the
lace yoke is very handsome, with its
adorable double-puf sleeves.
In a still more expensive bridal
gown we found an exquisite cham
payne satin with yoke and f1ounce
from the knee of the same color in
sheer crepe outlined with deep ecru
lace. This also belonged to a set,
with the gown itself in the neighbor-
hood Of $40.
THE third gown sketched is, of
l. course, a regency model and would
be a welcome addition to the trous-
seau. 1t uses two materials. sheer
crepe for the short waist and flounce,
and French crepe for the portion be-
tween. 1t comes in white with tiny
little flowers Of lavender. red and
light green, and tied around the waist
with narrow lavender velvet. The
fiounce has a slight train. This model
is also shown in light blue with cerise
and pink flowers using cerise velvet
ribbon.
A charming, fluffy little gown at a
most modest figure, which may be had
in pink, yellow or blue, has a 4
inch lace ruffle across the front. which
drapes OF the shoulder and is held
up with straps of the crepe tied in
perky bows.
The shirtwaist nightie with lace
edged collar and little frill cap sleeves
is a very clever and youthful model
coming in the junior miss sizes, and
is most attractive in pale yellow with
the lace dyed the same color.
Step-ins are being made now with
the very minimum of scanning, which
means a seam at the left side only
with one small fat button for fasten-
ing to insure a perfect fit and no
suggestion of bulge under the snug
gest of thin frocks.

BY EN'T-Y POST,

BY EN'TY POST.
UDEAR Mr. ST: Our doctor
has been genuinely kind to
us in the past several years that we
have grown to consider him our friend.
May we in propriety give him some
thing personal as an extra expression
of our appreciation for having brought
one Of our children through a terrible
illness? Cd And what would you
suggest? (2) And should send O
note with it?"
Answer-After you have paid the
bill for his professional services, there
is no reason why you should not give
him a personal present if you want to.
What you choose depends of course
upon your own means. % Merely as
an expression of thought you might
send him subscription to a maga-
zine or perhaps an extra thermometer.
Or you might choose something that
seems to be missing on his desk:
Fountain pen in holder, letter scales,
paper-weight, small clock, ETC. Or If
you can, and want to give him really
important present, you might send
him watch, or you might take pains
to find out If there is something he
longs for Gas all doctors do) in the
way of an especial electrical or surgi-
cal appliance. This last is of course
impossible to attempt unless you can
find out the precise name and make
Of the object he wants. ca Send a
note Cor else write on your Mr.. and
Mrs. visiting card) and say, with
deeper gratitude than we know how
to express for all that you have done
for Johnny-and for all of U.s." If
you are sending trifle sign your own
name, but If you are sending an i'm
portant present it should be sent by
your husband and you together.
Dear Mrs. Post: A friend and I
would like your opinion about our
handling of a situation the other day,
which will not undo what we may
have done inadvertently, but will help
us should similar problem arise. We
had lunch at very charming way
side inn, and before long we discov-
cred that the very affable waitress"
who served us was the owner of the
inn. She was delightful and told us
the historical incident which made
the spot famous, and all sorts of other
interesting information. When it
came time to leave a tip, we decided
against it, but were we right?"
Answer-I think so, yes, because it
is seldom proper to tip the owner of
any business. Under q similar cir
cumstance, you might hand her what
ever amount you are prepared to give,
and ask her to give it to her cook.

COfcIcu, OFcT OUO
years ago, by the explorers from the
Old World who came to South Amer
lea. The earliest Spanish and Por-
tuguese adventurers, who penetrated
into the great continent, were amazed
at the strength and physical endur-
ance which they observed in the In
dians Of Paraguay.
Upon investigation, they found that
this quality was apparently due to the
tea which the Indians drank in great
quantities. This tea was made from
the dried leaves of the mate plant,
which grows abundantly in that part
Of the world. In some strange way
this tea diffused energy and reserve
strength throughout the body, enabling
the Indians to travel for days with
little other sustenance.
THE conquerors from the Old World
fell naturally into the habit of
drinking mate, and derived like bene-
fits from its steaming source Thus
the discovery of mate was in many
ways similar to the discovery in North
America of the habit of smoking to-
bacco,' which the early visitors to
these shores learned from our own
Indians.
For some reason, however, the use
of mate has, up to the past few years.
not spread, to any great extent, be-
yond South American boundaries. A
few alert travellers in Brazil and Ar
gentina have returned to their native
land much impressed with the Won
to them regularly. that they might
continue drinking it at home
I can remember years ago when
my grandfather came back from a
trip through the then little-known
South American countries, he brought
with him set of native equipment
used in brewing mate The strange
looking articles were of much interest
to us all, and eager visitors were SOL
emnly paraded up to the parlor what
not where they reposed in all their
"furrin' glory.
OF late, however, enterprising busi-
ness concerns, and the ever-increas-
ing efficiency Of transportation, has
brought the tea itself into our mar
kets and shops at nominal cost. 1t
is still not so well known as it should
be, which is pity, for it is really
beneficial, and its mysterious energiz-
ing powers seem to be still present in
undiminished quantity!

The Old Gardener Saws :

Rock gardens have become so
popular that a rock garden So
ciety has been formed and will
hold an outdoor exhibition this
month in Cincinnati Yet many
amateurs overlook several excel
lent plants which are not hard
to grow and which add to the
charm Of rock gardens. Rosa
rouletti is one-a tiny rose which
grows only few inches high.
Daphne oneorum is another
little spreading plant with lovely,
fragrant flowers, which must be
moved with a ball of earth If it
Is to live. Then there is the
small shrub called Erica carnea,
which blooms so early that flow
ers can sometimes be picked
from under the snow. Dwarf
iris and dwarf tulips, too, are
needed to give an abundance Of
color very early in the season.
Indeed, there are endless new
plants for the rock gardener to
experiment with.

Dorothy Dix Says
Family Circle Is Magic Ring That Shuts
in Our Happiness.

have never known what it was to have
a mother tuck them into bed at night
and talk to them intimately in the
dark. Unfortunate those who have
never had father who was anything
but cash register, who never had
father who took them to the circus, or
went fishing with them, or bought
them pink lemonade. And defrauded
are those parents who have never been
little tin gods to their children and
had broken at their feet the alabaster
box of child's alteration and admi-
ration.
A ND to be pitied are those who have
never known the love Of brother
and sister, which is perhaps the most
satisfying and comforting love in all the
world, because 1t has in it the profound
understanding and sympathy of those
who have known you all your life, who
know your every fault and weakness
and yet love you still.
It is because family love brings us
so much happiness and companionship
and because 1t is such a sustaining
thing that we should do everything
possible to cultivate and preserve it,
for after all blood is thicker than
water. There is something between
us and our own that we never have
between ourselves and strangers that
makes us turn to our own families
when we are in need of help.
A ND just how strong is that tie that
binds us to our own we have seen
wildly illustrated during these times
of depression, when fathers and
mothers have literally shared their last
crust with their children, who had
been thrown out of work and who
brought back their wives and husbands
and children for father and mother
to feed. and when brothers and sisters
have opened the doors Of their own
overcrowded houses to their sisters
and brothers who had fallen on evil
days.
In all good truth, the family circle
Is the magic ring that shuts in our
happiness, and we break it at our
peril. DOROTHY DIX.

attractive and the step-ins are
trimmed with the same wide lace.
Just when we thought we had found
the lowest of budget prices We CHANGED
upon another shop where We found a
complete set could be assembled for
under ST. The gown is satin, lace
trimmed, in a very pretty model that
is sleeveless, and the step-ins and slip
have the same lace but are made of
crepe instead of satin, which brings
the price down considerably. OF
course, these are of somewhat thin
ner quality than the more expensive
ones.
May is good month for lingerie
sales and an excellent time to re-
plenish your supply and add the Sum-
mer requisites. 1t is also a good op-
portunity to get some nice pieces to
keep as gifts when you need them.

THEY say that modern life has
smashed the family circle.
They say that no longer is the
L family group of people
bound together by every tie of
affection and interest. 1t is bunch
of antagonists, forced by a biological
accident to live together, who fight
like the Kilkenny cats. They say that
husbands and wives regard marriage
merely as an experiment; that parents
look upon their children as burdens;
that children despise their fathers and
mothers; that brothers and sisters are
hereditary enemies, and that If, as the
old song says, there is no place like
home, let's thank heaven for 1t.
OF course, this is highly exagger-
ated picture of the situation, but no
one can deny that there has been q
sad decline in family life in the last
few years and a general loosening of
the ties that bound a household to-
gether. Nobody now thinks of happy
family as spending its evenings gath
cred together about the lamp or the
parlor organ, entertaining and anus
ing each other. On the contrary, We
know that as soon as dinner is over
they scatter to their various diversions
each going his or her individual way.
MANY homes are merely lodging
AVA houses which the members Of
the family use only as bases of sup
plies for clothes and food and bed
ding, and to which they only go when
other places are shut up. Worse still,
the members of the family meet each
other so seldom and so casually that
they are really scarcely acquainted,
and so there is between them none of
that intimacy that is the outgrowth
of having a common background Of
experiences and memories.
This decadence in family life is
greatly to be deplored, for after all the
only real happiness that any of us ever
know we must find in the domestic re-
lationship. A palace is the abomina-
ton of desolation If one lives in 1t
alone, without love and companion
ship. His success is dust and ashes to
a man if he has a cold and carping
wife and children who are heart
break to him.
TT Is those who have happy family
= life who have the best that the
gods can give. It matters not If they
be poor or rich, they have that which
makes the coming home a glamorous
adventure, that turns the simplest
dinner into joyous feast, that makes
the baby's new tooth and Johnny's
school report and what the neighbor
next door said and the things that
happened at the store topics Of thrill
ing interest that keep them from ever
being bored.
Unfortunate indeed are those who
have never had real mother. who
