Battste Lingerie.

A woman who shows always the most
perfect taste in all of her appointments
has her lingerie made OF the finest batiste.
The beautiful work is all done by hand In
one OF the converts here.
Valenciennes lace is decidedly the most
popular trimming for lingerie, and it also
boasts the rare virtue of looking almost
like new when it is laundered nicely.
There are lots OF patterns in this lace
that offer little eyelets for dainty ribbons
to be run through, and one has chance
to affect ones favorite color in every
thing one wears.
A Parisienne, very dainty in her taste.

dash OF lilac peeping about in the lace
frills, and there is an dnmistakable odor
OF violets about her boudoir. 1t was not
the odor OF sacket or extract, and when
I asked what It was I was shown a
bottle OF most delightful toilet water, an
indispensable thing to have on hand when
ones lingerie is brought in by the blanchis-
seuse laden with the ordors of unsavory

twenty-five when she married the Duke of

anything like $4,000.
There had been, he said, some unex-
