NEW York, Sept. -Underwear-such
an ugly word to represent such pretty
things, isn't it, So ugly that don't wonder
the dictionaries omit it altogether-for I've
inst looked in three and failed to ind II.
That which we wear under, yes; but not
that which is concealed, for the slightest
elevation Of the outer garment will reveal
ghmpses, if no more, of the apparel beneath.
It's sort OF index to character. think,
and it's Interesting TO stand on the corner
of a busy woman's thoroughfare and make
I'D our minds about our neighbors simply
from the few inches of petticoat they dis
play to all eyes. Pretty soon, when trains
have disappeared from the streets, we shall
be denied this privilege.
This woman coming along now, for in
stance, with the remains OF a once gorgeous
silk petticoat, which is at present all frayed
and ragged, we pronounce Immediately
careless and untidy. This slim girl behind
her. with yesterdays mud still on her black
alpaca, is worthy of no better epithet. The
immense lady following, that trails a long
piece of rutfie after her in stately fashion, is
surely not aware that she looks ridiculous,
or she couldn't possibly be so dignifled. But,
o, to see always such freshness and white
ness as the skirt that comes next displays
It is nothing mUre than plain, fine muslin,
with deep hem and above it numerous fine
tucks; but it's spotlessness carries the day.
Black skirts have ruled all summer TO
great degree, but the old-fashioned white
skirt is finding larger and larger place in
our hearts every day. Every one thought
a black skirt would look so neat and clean.
But after all, black skirt trays out, a
black skirt shows the mud very distinctly,
and some black skirts wear very gray
Then, when the summer girl had the whiIe
craze OF only a few weeks ago, of course
she discarded everything that had a speck
Of color IN it, even to the pretty rose-col
ored silken wear that went next to her fair
skin. Then she discovered anew the charm
o. the dainty white garments, and now
can't bear to 60 back again to the vari-
y colored silks.
And yet. apart from the summer girl and
q the very young girl, a considerable part Of
womankind still robes itself in black
throughout - black silk union garment,
black corset, stockings and skirts.
Nothing has a, yet superseded the tight
fitting silk union garment. For both sum-
meT and winter it answers every purpose,
particularly with an admixture Of wool,
Every part Of the body is protected from
the caprices of temperature and winds in
this most whimsical climate, and the outer
garments can be selected with more freedom,
The tints become more various daily. One
M saes now, in place of the faint blush pink,
dsep glowing shades, like the heart OF a
pink carnation. The blues, too, are deeper
than the old celestial shade, aud the laven-
ders and terra Gotta push themselves ag-
greesiysly fer ard.
Next chemiseS-it you wear them; scarce-
81 ly any one does these DAYS. except, perhaps
the combination chemise and skirt. Every
thing we wear must be combination of
some sort, or it finds no favor in our eyes

and unnecessary garments. The chemise is
seen sometimes with deep round collar OF

deep points all around. Two pretty ones

ribbons tied in full shoulder knots, aud both

has round neck and two tiny puflngs all
