have no buttons to be pulled off in the tub and no awkward full ness to make one lie on some thing more than crumpled rose leaves. Simple underclothing is the fad of the hour, but there are a good many ideas that are new and dainty that can be put into practice by any woman who loves pretty underclothes that will give her lingerie an individual touch that she cannot find in those she buys ready made. One of the daintiest trimmings for the girl who likes a little color in her underclothes is to make the yoke of the night dress and the ruffles on the drawers and skirts of lawn in which there is a tiny colored pattern. If you wish to make night dresses particularly fine you can buttonhole them around the neck and sleeves in scallop and then put the lace underneath the em broidered scallops. The newest drawers are cut very Harrow with a fluted ruffle at the bottom The illustration shows the top of the drawers of cambric and the ruffle of the lawn. It will be seen from the illus tration that the fronts are made surplice and the fullness under the bust is gathered into a double piece of linen cut in an elongated triangle, at the end of which is a narrow tape. This is carried round the waist, crosses in the back and ties in front. With this brassiere you can attain that much-to-be-desired uncorseted effect and yet not look the leasT: bit slouchy. Th J illustration also shows how the different kinds of materials can be used on a princess slip and a slip-over night dress. o o NEW YORK LETTER By Norman. New York, Jan. 11. At one of the uptown high schools there is a teacher of French who is a French woman. She speaks En glish perfectly, except that she has not the idioms of the lan guage, and for information in this line she sometimes asks the girls in her classes. The other day she asked one of them what might be a good idio matic equivalent for "I under stand." The girl, being a bad, bad girl, replied: "I get you, Steve." The teacher pondered a mo ment, then said: "The 'I get you' sounds well, but why the 'Steve'?" The girl lost part of her nerve, and backed up on the Steve. But. ever since she and the other girls have been filled with glee as they overhear their, teacher convers ing with the principal or some other teacher, and ever and anon sweetly murmuring: "I get you." A woman saved a kitten's life on 3d av. a few mornings ago and good and mad it made her, too. The kitten fell out of a third-story tenement window and landed in the woman's hair. The kitten wasn't hurt a bit, but at least 500 people arrived inside of 30 sec onds to find out what all the yell- ing was about.
