Molly Lang had been usher at the Empire Moving Picture Palace for go- ing on three years, and she was think- J of changing her occupation, “Believe me, Charlie,” she confided to the ticket taker In a slack moment toward the close of the evening's per- formance, “at first I thought it was great.

Makes me tired—so different from real life! Think I'll get a Job at some no- tion counter,” “If you're thinking of changing Jobs,” retorted Charlie, “l got a dandy—making a home for two!” “If it's marrying you you're talking about, nothing doing” cried Molly, stifling n yawn with a silm hand of a delicate pinkness and well kept finger nails. Then she grabbed his arm. “Get on to that couple going out. Isn't he a peach—and hasn't she got the eyes! Say, Charley, they come here as reg- ular as clockwork two nights a week.

Prominent Dressmakers anf Designers Put Forth Almost Limitiess Num. ber of Models. If the conservative woman of fashion has paid any attgntion to the trend toward colored underwear dur- ing the last few years she has had wany surprises, notes a Paris fashion correspondent, To those who would never dream of using any material but fine white linen for their lingerie the increasing use of underclothes of the most perishable materials of every color under the sun comes as a bit of a shock. There Is, however, a tremen- dous demand for these things. If there were not, the best designers and the greatest dressmakers would not spend thelr valuable time in putting forth an almost limitless number of models embodying ideas of this sort. i In a recent trousseau Mme, Jenny of Paris made lingerie gets in pale or- ange, light mauve and pearl gray crepe de chine.

A moment later, she started. There at the door, handing his ticket to the altogether unexcited Charile, was the Man. Molly's brain acted with sur prising quickness. She tiptoed swiftly down the aisle. How unfortunate there was no vacant seat beside the Girl, She turned back, disappointed. No doubt the Man was already seat- ed-—but no, he was standing against a partition which separated the seats from the hall, watching the picture, Molly flew to Charlie. “Look here, Charlie, do something for me!

They may be safely washed with white soap- suds and water. In fact, they come from thelr baths the better for them, with renewed colors and a freshened surface, and highly benefited because of the removal of the grime that hurts their fabric. But we do not usually classify orl. ental rugs among the washable rugs, for thelr cleaning is difficult and must be undertaken only occasionally, The usually considered washable rug is that madg-of rags.
