R " jXKj ; jjjf n HE Japanese embroidered fcimo no has long been accepted as evi dence of good taste fin lingerie circles, but it remains for a short negligee treated with Japanese trimming to make a slight commotion : where novelty is always welcomed.

The embroidery is in the familiar flat, fllled-in effect in a beautiful 7 blending of natural colors. - ' , ' ' - THE CAMOUFLAGED KITCHEN rsi ;. , TABLE. : Just the ordinary unpainted kitch ' V en) ironing table, the kind with the top held in place by four-wooden pegs and a box effect underneath to hold n't' things, can be transformed into a very attractive piece of furniture, indeed. ? You know how difficult it is . to de- -clde what to put in the hall to take , ; 4 faway that bare look. Why not use -'an ironing table black walnut stain- '-., 'f V'ed, ornamented , with very large brass j headed upholsterers nails driven at . two or three-inch Intervals and the ' I top opened back against the wall? It f.will make a stunning hall bench,- and - f no' one could gues.s that it had ever been a humble ironing table of the v . : $2 or $3 variety. Incidentally, the : seat may be used to hold odds and : ?; ends. :S In a particularly attractive bed : room the other day a visitor noticed the table, which- was of an-unusual design, with the top covered with V; cretonne to match the window ,. "Where did you get that pretty ; little table? I would like; to get one like it if you don't mind," remarked . the Clever Girl's friend. And she ; : was almost incredulous when the girl 'told her that it was a plain garden v'. . variety ironing table, ivory enamelled 'and the cretonne tacked on. Painted green or grey, with. some 'brightly colored flowers stenciled in some conventional design, it will , make just the right center of attrac- tion for your porch. Again, the "seat may be used to' hold magazines. - : FASH ION AGRAMS. Have you heard about the "cellar" gown? It is cut tunic-fashion with large inside pockets for accessories.

If this frock weren't such an at tractive thing, one might be tempted to accuse it of monopolizing all the fashion features. .To: begin with, it is gingham, and that, you "know, is suf flcient to put it in the fashion show.; But no; it must need, further empha size its right to a place in the mode Dy taKing unto itseii a tunic; its a tremendously smart hunic too. You see it doesn't go all the way round, preferring to fall into long graceful points in front. Finally the frock is colla'rSfttMd cuffed with pique, and belted as you want it to be with black patent leather. It's green and white, this gingham.
