LEEI’Y Sam sat on his Cavoflto
bench in tho little park content
with the world and himseu. The
October day was perfect; the trees

But Sleepy was now seated on a
bench in a little uptown retreat of
his; a. favorite spot which he fro-
quented so much that he could tell
you interesting things about every
house fronting on the little park. He
knew so much about the private af-
fairs of the indwellers that. had they
been really aware of the extent of
his knowledge, they would either
have pensionsd him off in some snug

The discussion which ensued be-

'sblo American women who
am set foot inside s room that
could by any stretch of tbs imagina-
tion bo called a boudoir did moro
than anything sin to put thcso
littlo accessories out of fashion.
Thor's wsro women who found them
I. very convenient summer hosd-'
dross to wear when they wont out
for the Sunday joy rids in tho Ism-
ily nivver. At cheap seaside resorts
thoro were women who woro them
as they sat upon the sands after
their dip in the breakers. And lazy
housewives in the middle of the
morning consulted the vosetsblo
huckstsr and gossipod with thoir
next-door nsigbbors wearing lsoo
and ribbon trimmed boudoir cops
stop hair still dons in crimpcrs.
That is perhaps why tho more
discriminatifig sort of woman have
coased to be especially interostod in
them. But now a new necessity has
arisen for some sort of cap of this
sort. only this is a real night esp
rather more than a boudoir cop.
The fact is that the shinglod bob
really needs to be kept flat at night.
It must be kept in training and the
discipline must not be suspended
even during sleeping time. Tho
tossing of the head on the pillow
rumples up the short hsirs in a
manner sad to behold. I-Iencs these
night caps. shingle hands. bob bun-

Some of them seem to be built

00TH to say the woman of to-
S dd}. is not interested and appar-
ently cannot be made to take
an overwhelming interest in her
sleeves. Who ever hears nowadays
of having to alter the cut or trim—1
min: of a alcove in order to wcar a'
frock through the season or perhaps
into the second season? Yet that
was once just what had to be dons.
and the provident little dream-her
used to advise her customers to buy
enough extra material “for sleeves
next year." In that way one could
wcar a frock a second season.
though to wear tho same sleeves for
more than six or seven months was
somethinglthat no decently-dressed
woman ever wanted to do. Sow.
of course. the placing of the waist-I
line and the length of the skirt seem l
to be the details that indicate the
vintage of a frock.
Dospito our general indifference to
slosves some of the well-known de-
signers ,have attached some im-
pbrtsnco to them in recent collec-
