Alluringly Dainty Lingerie
Paris has decreed it! And in subservience every smartly styled woman's wardrobe for spring will include at least one tailleur. There will also be a trig, close-fitting hat and tailored blouse that now boasts the name of "shirt." What, then, could be more appropriate than that fashion arbiter develop the all-important accessories in equally tailored lines.
By no means, however, has the tailored model in either the night robe or the negligee completely usurped the high place of favor of the daintily lace trimmed garments that so truly express real femininity.
Boston Front Night Robe
Here one finds a delightful version of the new fad. Sleeves are set in and short after the manner of the sports blouse. The neck is V-shaped with a turndown and fabrics. The fullness in many ground for luxurious, soft, marry of the breakfast wrap coats is con-bon trimming. Albatross robe centrared at the center front and silk lined, edged with marabou back instead of over the hips, giving a slightly draped effect that is most pleasing.

Boston Front Night Robe
Here one finds a delightful version of the new fad. Sleeves are set in and short after the manner of the sports collar. The neck is V-shaped with a turndown sports collar. There is a pleated inset bosom front that buttons down the front and often ends in a monogrammed tab.
The popularity of this particular model depends on the ease with which one can launder the smart bosom front. Many women prefer the plainly tallibred type which does not present this problem and is quite as effective it is not difficult, however, to preserve the individuality of this robe even without the pleated front. One may retain the charming effect in the roll collar and short, sport sleeves.
Lacy New Robes
A greater variety of laces has never been used in fashioning dainty night gowns. The popular filet and Irish laces appear often in combinations with laces of minor importance. Calais and Valenciennes laces, very narrow and cream in tone are much in evidence. Crepe re chine is the most popular silk used; crepe back satin and radium are also good. All the lovely pastel shades are seen; peach, tea rose and apricot predominate.
Fundamentally it seems there are three distinct negligee silhouettes—the kimono sleeved wrap; the breakfast coat and the coat that opens down the front or perhaps ties at the side. When one views the many new models, however, it seems as if there are at least a half dozen, so cleverly varied are the neck and sleeve lines.

SUGGESTIONS
The drier the cheese the better it is for use in cooking.
A speck of cream of tartar added to fudge while cooking will avoid crumbling when whipped later.
Tea-time comes into its own the most pleasant hour of the day when the tea cart is supplemented with a nest of tables. A small ble may be moved beside chair, and the hostess will find there are no awkward money for her guests when tea and dairy sandwiches are served.
The nest of tables runs a cloak second of the gate-leg table for the standpoint of taking up minimum amount of room not in use. The tables are grated in size so that they dovetail into each other when not in yet each will stand firmly upon own legs when used separate. When folded away, the largest makes a splendid end table on the davenport.
The nest of tables in what wood has only a small amount carving on the legs—thus make their graceful lines the chief beauty of the individual tables.

ACTIVITIES of the growing boy,
usually along sport lines, find full expression in the new spring models in boys' clothes.
Like his dad, the youngster is tiring of weird effects in his clothes, and wants them plainer and more rugged. As the plain sack coat is displacing the Norfolk and belted back models of mature men, so the more conservative and sensible suit is displacing the "freak" and "jazz" models of a few years back in boys' clothes.
Buddy's clothes this spring will look exactly like his "Big Brother Bill's," even to the matter of following the English trend. In fact, when Buddy puts his knickers on and Bill gets set to play golf, there is really little difference in the styles. While the newest models show many pointers taken from the English, the full Norfolk and many variations of sport clothes, such as belted and pleated effects, still continue to be shown.
It's An All-Around Suit
The spring suit for the boy reminds one of the story about the man who had a suit for every day of the week, and proudly exhibited the one suit in his possession. With the new styles, the boy can wear his suit equally well in the classroom and to fulfill his social engagements. It is an all-around suit that fills every need.
While the junior Sheiks will attempt to cling to the spirited eccentric styles to win the hearts of their lovely queens, the more serious-minded fellow will find absolute contentment in the more conservative, plainly fashioned suit. In fact, when many of these "Sheikishly" inclined fellows see the beautifully tailored lines of the latest showings, they will discard the frills and pranks of less sensible clothes.
English Styles in Vogue
For the fellow who has just reached the age where he is ready to make that long-looked-for leap, from short to longs, he will find a delightful selection of pure English styles to greet him. Sack coats with full cut trousers are just right for him, and that's what he'll get in the spring models. Lines followed are just the same as Dad wears—plenty of conservatism combined with good looking tailoring.
Fabrics for both knicker suits and first long trousers favor tweeds of many weavings and patterns. While tweeds will be seen in abundance, there will also be plenty of neat, striped patterns. There are enough patterns to give way to any individual pression.
Wash Middles for Tots
The small tots also get play for spring. As in former sons, the wash milddy will be in many styles. These are very practicable by using stout wearing materials, to the requirements of restless hood, where there is no room for clothes worn. Tommy Erer and Oliver Twist suits hold the stage in many men as wel las a varied assortment of attractive colors and dees. There are also many styles one-piece suits with sauteen waists and black and colored straight pants.
Juvenile headwear shows cided style change, all there is a tendency to match suits with hats. Here again tieability holds sway, as theerials used are all washable boys, caps of tweed material colors to match the suits wear, will be the vogue.
Collar-Attached Shirts
The boy has taken the lea by his older college brother leans strictly towards the attached shirt. These are in plain and pin-striped shoes also seem to follow precedent of older folks by ing many-style of the low or oxford.
LIVING ROOMS ARE OFTEN UNLIVABLE
The living room—perhaps it is a trite saying but it must needs be liveable. Two periods now much before us are the Italian and the Spanish. Each is simple, practical, usable—that's why we like and use them. Simple bare wall spaces give abundant opportunity for richly embroidered hanging and pictures, or form excellent settings for carved and painted furniture. Elaborate iron work is characteristic of the Spanish period. This may be combined with Italian pieces with their solid dignity with excellent effect.
Another period that has come into popular favor is the Regency. Simplicity, reserve and restraint are its keynote. It has the quality truly described by the word elegance. Very much lighter in feeling than the two periods; just discussed, it will not appeal to all of us, nor will the price of "the real thing" be within our reach. Some of the Regency pieces, tables and deks especially, are beautifully comfortable, and practical in our modern homes.
Arrangement has so much to do with comfort in a living room. A Davenport with a long table at its back has become familiar. It is usually near the fireplace. A bit differently and just as comfortably one room placed large pieces, table and dawntoward one end opposite a tary desk. A smaller davernight angles to the firepla faced by a pair of upholchairs.

WIRELESS HAIR-WAVING
A young Austrian is given credit for having invented a device, that will enable women to have their hair waved by wireless. The invention will do away with the need of heating and waving machines by electric wires, and as the wireless wave used will never reach so high a temperature, even dyed hair can be waved. It is maintained they will be safer than the machines which use the ordinary electric current.
What period? Well—that of America in the four years following the great war will best describe it.
STRAIGHT, SHORT AND SLENDER
The frocks for spring are winsome things and smartly adhere
to the rule of the three S's—straight, short, slender. There are sports and street dresses of flanuel, charmeen and twills in one or two-piece effects. Beltless afternoon dresses, in modified effects are fashioned of satins and floral printed crepee. Scarf treatments, jabo draperies and bright embroideries are fashion points of especial interest in this display.
