man does. Her undershirt is the usual
long sleeved, high necked affair that
a man wears, and has the same finish
at the neck and buttons. 1t may be
silk, even a colored silk, but if so it is
one of the colorS THAT is displayed in
the windows of fashionable mems fur
nishing places. The under drawers are
of the same material: they come down
to tine ankle, being ribbed there. They
fit Snugly over the leg and faSten I'M
der the corset.
Some girls wear socks merely to car
ny out the tailor-made, and dispense
with carriers altogether. Her socks,
made like a mans, are put on over the
underwear, and reach only to the calf
of the leg. Over them are drawn the
tights which take the place of MANS
trousers. These are of very heavy
ribbed black silk, or of any dark color
to match the gown. They are ribbed
very closely ait the lower part of the
leg and are drawn up to about the
calf of the leg, thus holding to the
sock firmly, and seeming, indeed, to
be one with it. The tights are fas-
tened about the waist over the corset.
sometimes they are finished with a
waist, which serves as q corset cover,
but 1T is severely plain. The shirt is
cleverly adapted to the woman's form
without interfering with its general ap-
pearance. 1t is am entire shirt and goes
on over the head. Where the ribbed
tights have no corset cover top, they
are usually brought up over the lower
part of the shirt and fastened about
the waist. When there is the corset
cover top, the lower part of the shirt
is allowed ito hang loose, and I am
afraid the tailor-made girl is a bit
proud of it. 1T is safe ITO say that most
of the tailor-made girls wear their
short shirts where they should be
worn, tucked into the tights, which
serve them for trousers.
| With the outer rig of the tailOr-made
girl we are familiar. She has bath
robe just like mans, and she gets it
ait a mans store. This she puts on in
the morning when her dressing has
progressed as far as her linen shirt and
tights. She is fetching, too, as she sits,
her legs crossed, the black tights show
ing in geDtlemanly manner, the bath
wrap turned away to show the shirt
F, front and the faultless tie. 1t is now
that she smokes her cigarettes, while
her nan-dhat is, her maid-curlS her
short hair. Her dressing gown is
planned after the bath wrap. and this
she wears in the privacy of her own
apartment.
! For house wear she has a. little smok-
ing jacket that she wears over any
skirt is rigidly correct, as a gentle
mans should be. For night wear she
has pajamas. They may be made Of
silk, in the dantieSt colors, but if so,
they correspond ito those offered for
the delight of the gilded youth, and
J there is nothing lady-like about them.
Indeed, many self-respecting tailor
of color as "effemfnate, don't you
know" and insist on underwear and
pajamas that are eft for fellow with
some self respect to wear, don't you
know
! There may be objections to this sort
of wear, but the tailor-made girl is
even when eXtravagantly dressed, in
side and out, put to far less expense
than the girl who dresses in the usual
way. Silk tights do not cost near sc
much as silk petticoatS and white ones
and silk drawers she would naturally
have The tailor-made girls silk shirt
costs a fancy price, but it does not run
into as much as the usual girls shirt
and chemise together do Her socks
are expensive as socks, but they cost
only as much as the extravaganza girls
extra silk stockings do. The tailor
made girls dresses cost a pile, but
she need not have so many as the 9th
er girl has to have. The Shirts-well
that is an item-but then they are more
than made up for by the money the
tailor-made girl saves in the usual ac-
cessories of berthas, collarettes, yoles
etc. After all maybe the tailormade-gir
has the best of it. Some of them dc
not wear corsets, adopting the lounge
coat, vest, shirt style, instead of the
riding habit bodice. In this case the
saving in an expensive article of wo-
mans wear is considerable. One should
count it all up before denouncing the
tailor-made girl.-New York CONNER
