please the children would be a con

could make from the letters In "St.

would be a pink covered memoran

COMBINATION
CHEM ITSE. And
i
WHATEVER lingerie style you adopt. It must be exquisite In fabrle.
Fashion has determined this beyond question. Either It must be
of chiffon, of shadow lace, of tulle, or else It must be of th.® soft
est silk, or the most supple of crepe de chenes.
For sheerness Is one of the prime principles of Fashion as re
gards, gowns and blouses. All of which gives an added Importance to the
daintiness of the lingerie.
No really feminine woman will And It in her heart to reprove Dame
Fashion for this latest freak, for every woman loves the dainty bit of lin
gerie, the fllmy trifles of lace and ribbon which she puts together with
many a fine stitch.
In gome of the smartest lingerie conceits, layer after layer of chiffon aro
used, while In others the most exquisite of dainty laces are employed.
Combinations of crepe de chene in light weights with shadow lace ar»
good. Where linen is employed It Is of the sheerest handkerchief fabric,
filmy In Its texture.
Fashion Is responsible for much of this. But for equally as much
of this recent trend In lingerie style, the manufacturer may be held re
sponsible. They're Just making up for lost time. The past few seasons,
during which llne-erle has been of such little Importance, has been disas
trous to the makers of these dainty conceits. So they've taken advantage
of the present modes of outer garb, to emphasize by Increased elegance
and daintiness the importance of lingerie.
And this year of all years you must wear dainty, lacy, shadowy, fllmy,
exquisitely beautiful lingerie.
Valentine's Day Has a Message for Every Home
St. Valentine's Day has a message.
It's a" message for you and for me.
It's more than the sickly sentlmen
tallsm which characterizes the mushy
verse the lovelorn youth sends his
sweeteart
That's not the true message of St.
Valentine's Day.
It's real
the happiness of every human be
ing. It's the Importance of the place
which sentiment should hold In our
lives, for sentiment should have a
place In the life of every man or
woman who would be happy. And
the happiest woman is she who has
the largest capacity for sane senti
ment.
In these days when there seems to
1 • nothing so Important as the race
for success, when nothing matters
if Only we reach our goal, there's a
big and Important need for senti
ment. And the man or woman who
takes time to fill that need Is the
one who most deeply drinks of life's
happiness.
I know a little family, small and In
meager circumstances. But In spite
of It all they're happy. And one of
the biggest contributing factors to
their happiness Is this one little «le
mentsentlment.
Though the husband and wife have
been married f ten years now. and
have passed over many scraggy
financial rocks, not once has he ever
failed to send her some little token
on Valentine's Day.
Not only on Valentine's day, but
at other Intervals, anniversaries and
the like, hi has revived this self
same ser .ment. And It brightened
many a dark day for this little wife,
who has been brave In her part of
the struggle.
Every home needs the leavening
element of sentiment.
St. Valentine's Day brtngs the mes
sage. Tt's the message of real senti
ment, kept burning forever and anor
until the perfect day.
