Have you ever tried to buy lingerie during spaces between these Hales of white? And have you mot discouragement because there was so little choice? Well, the lesson learned by experiences of this sort Is to wan der forth at the white time of year and to do your buying then, for you will find the wares of the world ilro Bonted for your selection. The materials now are Inferior to those of some years ago. Now we see blooming under the $.'1.98 sign post an array that would have formerly been relegated to the basement. The deal- Accordion-Plaited Handkerchief Linen Chemise In Pale Violet Embroidered In Pink and Blue. ors have nnnounced that they nre push ing domestic underclothes because of the scarcity of French and Philippine stocks, and so we see cotton crepes nnd muslins or none too dninty a qual ity and our Imaginations picture the thickness, of them as we, perforce, bid goodbye to the thin silk and muslin surfaces to which our pampered skins have become accustomed. Fine Apparel Expensive. However, once the situntlon has been studied, we find that, we need not at once join the ranks of the wearers of heavy muslin underwear unless we be 60 Inclined. There nre ways to dodge nround these counters of thicknesses nnd paths that lead to more attractive displays, though the result brings ever the Inevitable conclusion that much money is needed for a respectable look ing wardrobe. The chiffon and silk lingerie Is more daintily made than ever before nnd more originally conceived. But It looks ns though the fine French underwear made of dainty nainsook or handker chlc linen were wedging Its way to the foremost ranks. During tlie war we were deprived of this type of un dergarment, but It Is, after all, the most nttrnctlve sort of lingerie nnd, slowly but surely, It Is marching to leadership. More Importations are be ing mndo every day. One buyer of French lingerie made the stntement that the French were repeating their former achievements nnd that they had no -thought for anything new. Well, Colors Become The colors of the new underthlnS become more and more vnrled. The tradition of white for purposes of this sort has almost vanished. Now, nny pnstel shade is used and the more un usual It Is the better. Wo have wen tho outer effects of black and red nnd orange underclothes nnd marvelled at them, but. nevertheless, we hnve set tled back Into n casual acceptance of colored underwear ns an everyday pos sibility. In chiffon and in crepe do chine nnd satin the colors vary through all tones nnd similes, and even In the cotton materials' there Is seen every vnrlety of tone. On the tinted underclothes there Is much use of embroidery In silk threads. In woolen threads, In mercerized stitches and even In colored cotton em broidery stitch lugs. It Is considered much better to form nn edge by n but tonholing of some contrasting shado than to resort to the old method of Just making n hem. Then there nro tho long woolen stitches, which Bhow to their best advantage on tho thin chiffon things. If the pure delicacy nnd charm cannot be Improved upon, then we are thank ful enough for the things as they ex ist 1 Among the ninny bridal trousseaus that have been purchased during tho last live months, muslin undergarments have held the vote of popularity. Silk things there have been, of course (they nre too beautiful to be Ignored), but the thin muslin and linen things Intri cately handmade have received new attention, so tlie dealers In these things sny. Lace In the Limelight. Lace Is being used more and inoro conspicuously for underclothes. You will say that this has been done since the beginning of things, but this now lace is of wide bands and Is usvd In grent abundance. One sees the llnor torts of handmade laces Inserted In mednllions on the new undergarments. There nre lace pnnels for chemises; lnce edgings, live, six and seven Inches In depth, put on In slightly milled llouncings ; rnl lace to;is for camisoles and chemises; lace sleeves and yokes for night dresses; lace In every con ceivable usnge. In fact the newer night drosses are so elaborately done and so bedecked with wide and expansive trimmings of lace that one can scarcely distinguish them from the prevalent negligees. There nro linen night frocks trimmed with Irish lnce and laces of other ex pensive and real varieties. One had n yoke and sleeves of Chnntllly with a wide band to make the hem of tho garment. It was as beautiful as any thing which has ever been shown In the wny of lingerie nnd surely marks a return to the lingerie that wns done In the trousseaus of our grandmothers. Tho silk nnd chiffon nlghtclothes hnve not diminished In beauty nor In quantity, nnd In spite of the fact that we hear how scarce these materials have become there seems to be every evidence of plunty of silken under clothes for those who can afford them. A new set of chiffon underwear was trimmed with satin bindings of nnr row ribbon pinched over the edges nnd mnny streamers of the same color of ribbon (the sets were made In mnny colors) streaming from the plnces where the ribbon was used to tie tho garments Into place Absence of Buttons. There seems to be a welcome ab sence of buttons on nil of the newer underwear. More and more the de signs nppenr with rubber bands nnd loosely tied ribbons to hold them In their proper positions. The ensler they are to wear the less will we resent the cost. Tailored underwear has come Into favor recently, nnd there Is, In con sequence, much of that variety of un derwear to be seen. There Is much to be said In its fnvor, for there are many women who, In the dally course of Uielr lives, cannot stop to fuss with ribbons and laces nnd rosebuds. Still they cling to that tendency which Is their right the love of dninty, soft nnd luxurious underwear. It Is there that the tailored silk underwear comes Into Its own. Following the pnttcrn of the single piece men's underwear there have been some things like this designed for women's wenr nnd they have won a renl response. They nre made of fine qunlltles of silks and wash satins In white or In llesh colpr and they have never n (lower nor n furbelow to be deck them. Then there are bloomers, vWilch have proved beyond doubt the strength of their hold upon the femi nine mnsses. They nre useful for wear with tight skirts, which, to look their best, demnnd Hint petticoats be thrown Into the discard. Tho bloomer hns come to stay and, In silk. It Is nn In dispensable part of tho wardrobe of the modern woman. More Varied From underwear to negligee Is but a slip, nnd It does seem ns though we nre paying more nttcntion to tho grace ful and becoming robes d'lnterleur which so long have been n necessary part of the wardrobe of n French wo man. Never before hnve wo shown such Interest In the gowns which nro for private appearance only. The lines of the new negligees nro simple enough, but the trimmings grow more gorgeous ns one soiihoii melts In to another. On the newest ones there nre layers of chiffon so constructed that the things look only like floating clouds. 12 very trick nnd scheme Is re sorted to thnt tho gnrment may be lightness Itself. Lace Is used lavishly. Sometimes It constitutes the oerdress nnd then again It Is used for tho foun dation slip so thnt only n suggestion of Its loveliness shines through tho overlaying chiffon. Silk lnce trims the edges of other chiffon negllgeos, being carried around the long lines of the outer edges and giving the effect of something not qulto tangible In Itw eluslveness. --2fi2 ,ft ALC0H0L-3 PEIt CENT, f . 3 iir i -i-i.TUnnfMiAnfarA'l m n vnt ji lit- i i Liiuiuii"" sinulnlingUicFoodbyRegula-j tlnii Uicbtomactis jutouotco - UMii'i 'iLir Tf,fnr Promoting DI$CStfaV!

That Bnby should have a bed of its own all are agreed. Yet it is more reasonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use a man's medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism of that same infant. Either practice is to be shunned. Neither would be tolerated by specialists in children's diseases. Your Physician will tell you that Baby's medicine must bo prepared with even greater care than Baby's food. A Baby's stomach when in good health is loo often disarranged by improper food. Could you for a moment, then, think of giving to your ailing child anything but a medicine especially prepared for Infants and Children ? Don't be deceived. Make a mental note of this: It is important, Mothers, that you should remember that to function well, the digestive organs of your Baby must receive special care. No Baby is so abnormal that the desired results m"y be had from the use of medicines primarily prepared for grown-ups.

The congressman was of plain tastes and had no liking for the social activities of the national cap ital. One day on old friend visited lilm. AVenrlng n fnce of the deepest gloom, the owner of the stntely home escorted his caller throughout the place. The visitor was admiring nnd enthusiastic, but the host said little or nothing. When the Inspection was finished and the two had returned to tho library on the first floor, the vis itor said: "Well, Jim, you certnlnly can't say that you haven't everything that you wnnt." "Yes, I can," replied the millionaire soberly; "I wnnt a parrot." "Why n parrot?"
