and the trimmings are rufles with

dainty dresses. Where warmth il re-

flannel in cream, white or pale blue Il
used for matinee suits, and some white
wool lace or else rows of braid are The
trimmings. Many ladies use this suit in
preference to wrappers of any shape
while others find the belt of he skirt ob.
jectionable in adress made for loungino.
White pique is also made up in this
fashion. but the softer fabrics that are
not easily rumpled are better choice.
Wrappers made for comfort in the
privacy of ones own room are in the
Mother Hubbard shape, and are Of in.
expensive linen lawns. American cam.
brics, or Scotch ginghams, with sprigs,
dashes, bars, or stripes of color on a
white ground. The yoke is tucked
lengthwise, and the flowing breadths
have tucks or two rufiles of the materi-
al at the foot; a Byron collar well turned
over has small tucks on its edges. and
the sleeves are tucked at the wrists,
and edged with frill. These wrap
pers made of linen lawn are sold IN
the shops for 50, which is much more
than they need cost if made at home,
and two Of them are enough in any sum-
mer outfit. For those who object to
full gowns the Mother Hubbards are
shirred at the waist line in the back,
and have strings of the material to tie in
front. More dressy wrappers are in
the long princesse shapes with Wat
teau fold from the neck to the foot in
the back, or else they are cut of around
the hips, and the skirt is sewed there
with an upright frill. This design Is
appropriate for foulard or China silk
wrappers, or those Of surah
silk made Of white, pale blue,
or rose pink. and trimmed with gath.
cred frills Of Oriental lace; velvet
collar, cuffs, and pockets add to the
beauty OF such gown. The fronts Of
these wrappers hang straight from the
throat to the foot, but the back is fitted
to the figure, and sometimes belt of
velvet is added across the back between
the under-arm seams. White null or
cambria wrappers are made with vest
of lengthwise tucks, and the middle
forms of the back are also tucked from
the top low down on the tournure; the
skirt is continuous with the waist in the
back. and the tucks hold part of the
added fullness. Embroidered edging is
placed down each side Of the tucking in
front and back. Laces wear so badly
that sheer embroidery is preferred for
the trimming. Whole wrappers are now
made of the all-over embroidered mus
Inns 50 much used for dress waists, yokes,
etc. These are # simple shapes, usually
being partly fitted sacque extendingin
length to the floor, and worn with or
without sash ribbon. Those who need
wool even In summer gowns buy the in
expensive albatross and challi goods
that may be had for 90 cents yard aud
upward, and line the waist with the thin
silesa that is now as light as satteen aud
as pleasant for wearing as a silk lining.
Twilled flannels of light quality with
stripes Of china blue on white, or Of
paler blue with pink, make pretty
wrappers that may be worn all
the year around. The jersey lan.
nels and those of Shetland wool
with thick fleece are pretty for warm
wrappers that have darts and side forms
to tit them close to the figure; these are
pretty in light blue or light red, and are
so firm and MISUNDERSTANDING that nc
trimming is needed on them, though
white wool lace is sometimes added.
Dressing sacques are always made OF
the muslin that are embroidered all
over in patterns of sprigs, leaves and
dots or stars. Nainsook and cambric
sacques have lengthwise or crosswise
tucks in front to represent a vest, and
are finished with embroidery or frills oi
Valenciennes or Oriental lace. For
real use white Irish linen sacques are
made quite loose and of the simplest
shape. with row of insertion either OF
Hamburg work or of torcheon lace set
in all around above wide hem. These
have the French back, which consists Of
only two pieces, and the fronts have no
darts taken in them; the sleeves are
straight and wide, and these, with the
Byron collar, have an insertion band for
trimming White flannel sacques are
made up In the same way, with wooi
lace or insertion for trimming, and II
both the flannel and lace are shrunk be.
fore making, these sacques can be sent
to the laundress as often as those oi
linen and need no special carc,-har-
