always sale, but fashions change In that
line as much as In any other There is
such variety Of pretty styles that when It
comes 70 describing them It is Autalizing,
for one can hardly tell where to begin.
In place OF muslin for underwear, which
delishted the hearts of our grandmothers
and mothers, lawn or pernaie is the material
now used when the garments are not made
OF silk. Valenclennes real and Imitation,
hne torchon, maltese and other lacss are
tho favonte trimmings, Most underEar-
ments are trimmed very deliberately with
ribbon, aud as this Is so easily run into the
beading 1t can be removed every time gar
ment visits the laundry.
The nightdresses OF to-day are truly works
OF art and are made almost like drosses.
One particularly dainty one is OF pink
liberty silk. trimmed with exquisite lace
OF creamy tint The wide sailor collar IA
feather stitched and finished of With the
lace. and the monogram OF the owner Ia
embroidered in the corner. Another one
worthy Of notice Is OF white silk fastened
up Tho side and adorned witA 'wo strips OF
deep lace Insertion down the front the collar
being a frill Of lace, Some OF the hand
soonest gowns arr trimmed around tho
bottom with frills OF lace.
Some OF the nightdresses have long
waisted hodlces. made very loose, and having
tho skirt gathered on them. The Joining Is
hidden under two-lnch band OF footing,
! through which ribbon is run and tied In
front Instead OF button holes and buttons
the front OF the bodice is fastened With mar
row ribbons. Tho neck is cut little low,
and has large cape collar, trimmed with
Insertion and frill OF lace.

back, while the iuliness In front ia gathered
into yokes, These have large cape collars or
square sailor collars. trimmed with mills
of lace. All the new nightdrcsses have the
same large sleeves that are worn IN dresses.
Linen is a material that Is most dainty
for underclothcs. 1t is fresh and cool and
| delicious to the touch, There Is no ma
terial so nice TO wear next one as linen
| garment; no sllkon or woolen garment can
feel so pleasantly fresh and dainuly clean
as linen. hut II must not be starchel II
| does not turn yellow with age, but wears out
looking as nice as whom freshly made
The chemiso Is quito mNorlte with
| women who do not like many Hkirts, as It
serves instead OF the short under-aklrt
| II Ia not the same chemiec that was worn
| once upon time, but II made into q conf
| pAratvoly tight-ntting garment, which
reaches to the ankles, and is deliberately
trimmed with insertion and lace, aud With
! a deep frill Of lace or necdlework around
the bottom. Tho sleeves Of tho ohemlse
are formed by the shoulder straps. Some
times these button on the shoulder but
oftenor have a narrow ribbon run around
the neck to draw thom into shape. Very
little trimming Is used around tho sleeves
as 1t might Interfere with the dteAH sleeve.
The corset and the petticoat have rome
In for a large share Of abuse from dress
rcformeru, but very few women 80 with
out the corset to mold their forms aud

long as thoy are such dainty works OF
art we'll ntting corset Is never tight.
Corseta that are very Long are not deHlr-
abde. as they turn over on the edge, a
woman who is rather stout should select
high bust corset, but for a slender
woman low corset Is better French
dressmakcra prefer a short corset. and one
that Is not too large IN the bust. There IA
nothing very new In eortotH, although
there is tendency 10 make waists a
tribe shorter and narrower by tho skillful
arrangement Of bones and stoels.
An extremely dainty corset IL made Of
white SILK canvas trimmed with white lgdo,
The fan stitching "a OF blue SILK and the
ornaments on the bosom gofea are sprays Of
forget-me-nnts. Satin and c0utlllo can
scarcely be surpassed for eyenlng wear a
very dainty corset II made Of old rose satin
trimmed with black lace and bows Of narrow
old rose ribbon. This corset was laced ia a
novel way over studs In front, Instead Of
fastening In the usual way. The corset was
made ali In one piece. II Is claimed for this
style that one can lace II tighter than the
ordinary correct.
Another lovely corset IL OF turquoise blue
satin shot with mothor-Of-pelrl. trimmed
with white lace. Even II one buys oouulls
oorsets they should aiwaya have a ain
J laeing. The gauze corset IL comfortable foI

this we're three Insertions OF lace the top
most one meeting more lace triminlnga put
on In points. Another OF white SILK was q

A petticoat that would be OF little more
service Il OF old rose tinted satin, trimmed
Win hounce Of black spanish lace from
the knees to the hem; another nounee Of tht
same, only not nearly 10 deep, ran round Tho
bottou Of the skirt and was caught up into
points with fastening bows OF ribbon. None
OF the silk skirts arc made as full A. tho
white one. great many Of the skirts are
trimmed with pnkod rufleH alternating viii
lace ones.
white skirts are cut almost exactly like
the dress skirt except they have greater
, uilness. Lawn or cambria Ia used for them
Skirts are very much berunled IN the Ole

has a rufie OF embroidery. over this were
four RULES graduated IN depth from ave
