new fancy for cashmere wrappers of the
dark red or pale blue shades that are uni
versely liked is that of putting a vest of
striped velvet down the front from the neck
10 the foot. The popular shape is a loose
fronts without darts, while the back of the
waist is adjusted To the finger down To the
ll-gathered skirt-breadths. The sides fit
smoothly over the hips. and may have sash
ends on the left side and large pocket on
the right; but pockets are usually preferred
for both sides. aud the sash Is omitted. All
the fullness of the skirt is masSed at the back
i'm very narrow space, usually being con-
fined 10 the width between the two middle
forms. while the adjacent side forms extend
quite plain from tEe armholes of the foot.
Young ladies who object To wrappers wear
matinee, of plush. cashmere or embroidered
opera flannels made with n short sacque and
a skirt laid in plaitS or with gathered
flounces. These are also
CALLED TEA GOWNS,
but they are worn here in the morning in
stead of I'm the afternoon. as Parisiennes
wear them. Equally charming Is matinee
of Venetian point opening over a vest Ia
russo. made of surah in China pink or BON
ton dor. A network of lace covers the
silk. There Is no other garniture but satin
ruchings edged with lace. The real desha-
bile comes last. 1t Is the house toilet nut
OH for dejeuner, and worn until the hour
of going out. The tea gown is the triumph
of modern taste, where everything is toler-
ated. even to point of eccentricity. pro-
vided that il is graceful. A new creation
shows princess redingOte of Pompadour
damask blue, covered with large
pink roses. The corsage, turned back on
either side, reveals stOmacher of white
lace, studded with fine pearls. The
sleeves are rolled back at the elbow, and
the petticOat opens on a front which is a
network of fine pearls. Very luxurious
gowns and also dressing sacques are of In
da silk OF the palest blue or rose shades,
made in very loose and ample fashions,
with wide collar and cuffs edged with a
plated frill of silk. The fancy at present
is for colored underwear in pale shades of
pink, blue or flesh-eOlor, or in fine stripes
of these colOrs with white or some con-
trasting color. Most of these garments
have lace-like finish around the
neck and sleeves. in which mar
row ribbon is inserted to draw
them together. Those who object to thick
garments i'm bed at any season of the year
wear cambric gowns made with tucked
yokeS. trimmed with sheer NainsOok en-
broidered ruffies that are considered more
becoming than those of thicker cambria en-
broidery. There seems TO be a general
protest against wearing very heavy and
burdensome underclothing of all kinds, and
it is especially desirable for sanitary rea-
sons that the fabric placed next the skin
should be of light, open texture.
FOR NIGHT DRESSES
Women who suffer from cold this season
use French sacque gowns, made of fleece
lined pique. trimmed around the neck,
wrists and down the front with a scant
ruffie of pique two inches wide, the edges
scalloped and dots wrought in the scallops.
The shape is saeque front with pointed
yoke in the back; this yoke is doubled for
greater warmth. and there is a standing
band around the neck TO hold the ruffle. and
on this band is set strip of feather-stitehed
cambria, also on the sleeves and down the
front. / have young friend-a wife of
