Exquisite New Lingerie
It is in her love of exquisite lingerie that woman shows her truluy feminine appreciation of dainty, fragile looking garments. And the glorious displays which are to be found in the shops this fall cannot help but heighten that interest.
The new step in combination follow the fashion of the frock and are longer waisted than before. They have no fullness above the waistline and while not actually fitted, they are worn plain with no shirring at the top. The only fullness below the waist is introduced by means of narrow pleats on either hip. The trimming may be a medallion or a flat band of Filet or Irish crochet. Of tentimes exquisite little silken flowers add to the charm of these garments.
A New Bodice
So many women wear silk knickers in winter nowadays. And each one who does, realizes how the camisole and knickers never seem to meet at the waist line but always leave two bands of elastic about an inch apart. So a novel bodice has been designed to obviate this.
A New Bodice
So many women wear silk knickers in winter nowadays. And each one who does, realizes how the camisole and knickers never seem to meet at the waist line but always leave two bands of elastic about an inch apart. So a novel bodice has been designed to obviate this. This bodice is semi-fitted of double crepe de chine. As this bodice extends two or three inches below the waist, it completely covers the elastic top of the knickers and gives a smooth fitted line at the waist. These bodices are only suited to the slender figure. But she who is slender needs no brassiere with them.
The vest chemise and matching step in is another favorite type of undergarment for the fastidious woman and this season they are more exquisite than ever with fine laces and embroideries.
Sashes for Nightgowns
Even the nightgowns have sashes now, to emphasize the low waist line. The nightgown itself is cut on long straight lines with the fullness concentrated in tiny pleats which fall from the shoulder on either side. Then a sash of ribbon about an inch wide is tied about the hips with rather long loops and ends which almost reach the floor.
The "V" neck is a great favorite for this fall. And to the most women it is quite the most becoming neckline of all. The bateau neckline is also in high favor, but the newer gowns with this type of neck are made to fit down closely over the shoulder.
Every woman remembers how becoming the caps were which she wore for Red Cross work during the war. So now the smart woman for negligee wear, chooses a cap of heavy lace worn just as the Red Cross cap was worn. Other becoming caps are made almost like a bonnet with a frill of lace falling gracefully at the back of the neck.
The Hostess Gown
The hostess gown or the tea gown as it is frequently called is quite the appropriate thing for teg or for an informal dinner at home. And this season soft velvets beautifully draped and sometimes fur trimmed

The Hostess Gown
The hostess gown or the tea gown as it is frequently called is quite the appropriate thing for tea or for an informal dinner at home. And this season soft velvets beautifully draped and sometimes fur trimmed are quite the most fashionable. And the slender yet flowing lines of these gowns give a graceful dignity which is wholly charming. And it is in these gowns that a woman can really study her type and evolve a creation best suited to it, for they do not follow the mode as closely as the more formal dress.

Heavy Sweaters For Winter
As the season advances to the football, hockey and skating season the regulation sweater holds sway. These are in heavy rope knit or shaker knit weaves with flowing collars. Plain tones, contrast trims, college stripes and the soft, rich tones of tans and greens and greys in brush-ups or Angora wools are the variety that will make up the public choice.
No noteworthy styles have been introduced in the fashions for underwear or pajamas. True, there are a few novelties but none that are expected to gain pronounced popularity. Patterned handkerchiefs are real fashionable this season for men—more so in linens than in silks. The real smart dressed has his handkerchief of white with a specially monogrammed motif in varying colors.

The delightfully dainty negligees of chiffon or triple volle follow the modish silhouette and have a flat straight back with any fullness gathered in the front, sometimes accentuated by a huge flat bow.
HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON
Dear Mrs. Thompson; I am a girl seventeen years old. Am I too old to start school in the eighth grade? I have not gone for three years.
Is a girl considered tough if she kisses a fellow to whom she is not engaged?
How can a girl get acquainted with boys and girls without attending a show or church?
S. R. E. T.
You are not too old to start to school again. It may embarrass you to feel that you are older than most of the rest, but for the sake of better education I would advise you to go.
Promiscuous kissing is considered tough. Although it is wise to wait until one is engaged before kissing, it is evident that a girl is not always considered tough when she does kiss before she is engaged. A

kiss is a love symbol and should not be cheapened.
If you attend school again, you will be placed where you can become acquainted with boys and girls. It is not correct to make friends at a public place such as a show. Unfortunately there are not enough adequate places for lonesome people to get acquainted. About the only one who takes an interest is the kindly minister. Of course even a minister very often needs to be told of the loneliness and asked to help.
FAIL TO HALT WEDDING
CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—When two "friends" stole his wedding outfit and his money, it looked for a time no if John Schroeder, a hospital nurse, might not be married after all. However, Schroeder proved an ardent votary of the saying that faint heart ne'er won fair lady. He borrowed enough money to pay the fare of his flancee, Mba Lillian Blasser, from Beatrice, Neb., to Chicago, and then married her here.
