The Times Will Do that Job of Printing RIGHT
f American Ma<te Undermuslins I
Recently American manufacturers
of underwear have thought so well of
their achievements that they have pro
claimed themselves as the designers
of the styles now favored in lingerie.
They certainly are justified in taking
pride in the daintiness and attractive
ness of the garments they make in
such quantities and they find it easy
to cultivate a taste for fine undermus
lins. American women are appreci
ative, but they are also practical and
they demand pretty but not too fragile
garments. Few of them run to the
extreme of wearing chiffon or georg
; ette in undies, or care for bizarre de
signing. In the main they like fine
weaves in cotton or crepe de chine for
materials, not too much trimmed with
tine and durable laces, hand embroid
ery and other needlework. Hand
erocliet in laces holds its own with
them, and has everythig to recom
mend it.
Of course not much handwork is to
be found on manufactured undermus
’ lins, but machinery has been made to
do wonderful work and sometimes so
effectively that comparisons with hand
work are not by any means odious to
the machine-made garment. Some
times the plain sewing on undermus
lins is done by machinery and the
decoration by hand. But however
they may be put together and finished,
• he styles are about the same in under
garments.
Three popular pieces are shown in
the group above, a combination, a
nightdress and a pair of pajamas.
The combination is of batiste, hav
ing the neck, armholes and bottom of
the knickers edged with narrow val
lace. Small sprays of prim daisies,
tied with how knots adorn the front
of the body and appear on the pants.
The special glory of this garment is
a sash of satin ribbon that slips
through slits about the waistline and 1
ties at one side. Very narrow ribbon
gathers in the fullness at the top and
it is run through heading.
A nightdress of nainsook is shown,
cut with short kimono sleeves and
round neck. Its edges are scalloped
and buttonhole stitched and there is
a pretty band of needlework abound
the neck and shoulders. Petn< liable
hows and rosettes of ribbon, that fast
en with little safety pins, are r mong
the treasures that some women own,
and they add these pretty friv tlities
to their undergarments, pinning thee*
on.
The pajamas in the picture are
made of crepe de chine and embroid
ered with colored silks. One finds all
these garments in crepe de chine and
also in flesh-tone cotton mill!, in the
long run fine white cotton goods,
prove their worth by standing wear
and washing perfectly.

Good Possibility of Its Being Made
Into a Reasonably Productive
Agricultural Country.
That the Sahara will some day
“blossom like the rose,” or at any rate |
like a reasonably productive agricul
tural country, is the gist of an article
by J. Nicholas Brusse in La Nation of
Paris. For more than a quarter of a
century, Mr. Brusse declares, although
people in general have thought of the
Sahara as an enormous, permanently
hopeless expanse of sand, those ac
quainted with the results of a geo
graphical survey conducted about 1893
have known also that the Sahara is
not absolutely unfit for either plant or
animal life. Rain falls sometimes in
the great desert and there are under
ground streams that could be made
available for water. The present oases
could be developed and others created,
provided a beginning were made by
establishing strategic roads and intro
ducing a sense of law and order among
the desert tribes for the security of
those who were trying to develop the
country. In its entirety the region in
cluded in the Sahara contains already
a good deal of spontaneous vegeta
tion ; it grows a number of forage
plants and shrubs that serve as pas
turage for caravans, and could doubt
less be improved and made valuable
by cultivation. Fig trees, apricots,
peaches, grapes and various cereals
have been grown in the oases.
Diamond Setting.
The following method of setting
diamonds has been found to be the
best: First drill the hole for the dia
mond to the usual depth, a little
deeper than the greatest dimensions
of the stone. The drilling should be
done without lubricant, as oil of any
kind tends to prevent the spelter from
flowing smoothly.
This being done, the hole should be
closed In slightly, just enough to make
It out of round. The spelter is now
poured into the hole, filling it com
pletely, and the diamond, held in a
1 pair of tweezers, is pushed into the
liquid spelter in the hole until it i
strikes the bottom. In doing this an J
amount of spelter equal to the dis
placement of the diamond is pushed
out of the hole, and when this drop of
spelter makes its appearance it is cer
tain that there are no vacant spots
under the stone.
After the spelter has cooled the end
of the rod in which the diamond is
located can be shaped up in the cus
tomary manner. The fact that the
hole is slightly out of round prevents
the core of spelter from working out
of the end of the rod. ~
