Now York, Jan. 14. ? The New Year
holds the promise <?f ho many thlngfe.
Possibilities lurk Ikchind every-day
tlriiiK* that teem of ttmBNilVM *?o
uninteresting. Take for example the
simple matter of underclothes. The
average womai) buys, this mout^, ma
terial enough to lust her for the ooui
1 lug year. All the atqres have "White
Males," and batiste am! nainsook ran
U' purchased for almost nothing Thin
year we have, aside rrom our regu
lar resolutions, those we have made
to help win the war. We are going
to do our bit, and the time to start
Is now.
Does the simplicity wo have hoard
preached on thy subject of frocks and
coats extend to the lingerie? lty all
mcaus, yes. We must buy only whut
we really need, and uj*j that little with
forethought.
The same spirit that made for Vic
tory in 1776 and the dark days that
followed. Is abroad today. Then our
grandmothers' mothers made their
own clothVs, as we are doing today,
but they went even farther and made
the material Itself. This is lmj>osslblo
Bewitchingly Simple and Youthful
for us. It would he farcial for us
to turn our backs ofi the j>er?eet ma
chinery of to<lay and take up the band
looms and spinning wheels of our
grandmothers. But wo can cut our
material according to ^ur pattern, and
our pattern must foe simple and eco
nomical. When planning the Spring
wardrobe (and now Is a good time
to do It, for the sho]>s are full of
tempting materials and there Is more
time than later on when the clothes
are really needed,) choose the ma
terial that will wear the longest.' In
:>ther words, "Be sure you're right,
then* go ahead."
v'or delightfully InfonnH! n f.
fairs that are always so much fun,
one needs a frock simple and becom
ing. The illustration shows a design
that will appeal to the most fastid
ious person. Made of silk voile or
mull, it has a- youthful round neck,
with an attractive collarband (if one
may call so bewitching a thing by so
prosaic a name!) of fleshcolored satin.
The sleevebands and the girdles are of
the same material, as are the three
perky little ruffles across the back.
The slight fulness in the rwalst is
charmingly arranged, and, as you can
see, the skirt is not overly full. There
is no trimming, the edgos being picot
ed, that ever-present solution to the
problem of "finishings." This is the
type of dress that is appropriate for
afternoon or Informal evening wear.

"The Women were steadfast and un

The entertainment given at the op

auspices of the Camden Civic League
was a success in every jvartlcular. Miss
Dorothy Fralelgh ami the ladies of
tiie League are to be congratulated
upon the success of their efforts, alul
they are also to be thanked for giving
the people of Camden a delightful
evening, for many put away tihe serious
spirit of the times, and enjoyed a
good hearty laugh. And this is, as
it should he, and especially when the
money made is to go to a good and
worthy purpose. Where all did so
well It would not l>e fair to single out
partieular ones to mention In this no
tice. The entire cast were stars, and!
I
the dancing, songs, music, and cos
tumes were catdhy, bright and at
tractive And the large audience show
ed their appreciation by long and con
tinued applause. We are very proud
of all the young folks who took part
for they showed their loyalty to Cam
den and her institutions by going to
rehearsels through extreme cold and!
under many difficulties and we are glad
that their efforts were rewarded by a '
"packed house", the* citizens thereby j
showing their appreciation.
