Lieutenant Maynord declared that women of New York adopt styles which come from the most immoral women of Paris, and added: "Let the pure women of America dictate our styles."

' Many churches were exceeding their allotments by amounts ranging from 10 to 40 per cent, T. W. Chambliss, publicity director, announced.

House of Representatives succeeding There is just one place where the gentlewoman, with dramatic instincts, will allow her robing to be a bit au dacious, and' that place Is within her own four walls. The gentlewoman naturally .strives for distinction in dress, but she will not go to the length of wearing things so unusual in char acter and design, as to make her con spicuous in public. But within her nome it is different. From any cor-J ner of the world inspiration? may be carried out In boudoir gowns and in underthings; the airiest fabrics, the' most daring color combinations, the richest embroideries and extravagant ly unique designs are at her service. Just now China and Japan are fur nishing alluring things with wonder ful possibilities' for boudoir wear.

Like a great many neg ligees, these gorgeous affairs presup pose a warm climate or steam heat. But the Japs are sending over padded and jquilted coats that are cozy, in loveli' colors and prettily embroid ered. Milady cannot be hampered, by considerations of climate, when she lets her fancy roam and the negligees and i underthings shown in our pic ture take no thought of the cold. Long and graceful lines and exquis ite coloring in the negligee pictured, confirm our belief that of alhclothes, negligees are the most beautiful. It Is of shot blue satin and rose chiffon. with delicate stitching in blue and gold. ' One cbn hardly imagine it worn over anything more substantial than undergarments like those pic tured with It. These are of chiffon flowered with rosebuds and a touch of blue. Satin in pale blue makes the flufflngs and val lace with French flowers add their parts to the dainty assembly. Black chantilly lace Is an innova tion In negligees and underdrew, but it is sponsored "by more than one au thority.. All- of which goes to show that In the . seclusion of her home, nothing is too extravagantly unique for i the lady of today.
