the Dry Goods shops.
The finest articles of underwear are
made of batiste, nainsook, linen lawn
dimity and silk, and are SO daintiiy
trimmed and tucked and hemstitched'
SO deliberately ornamented with me
laces, embroidery and satin ribbon as
TO be well-nigh irresistible to the rem
mime observer. These command eA-
travagant prices, but they can be mi
tated at home at comparatively smaii
EXPENSE. The camhric and muslin gar
ments with trimmings of Hamburg em-
broidery can be obtained at such rea-
sonable prices as TO make II haruly
worth while TO fashion them at home.
The latest fancy is to have a set COM
posed of old pieces instead OF having
the trimming match, but some beauti-
full sets are still shown.
In night robes there is almost as
much elegance at ;he present time as
in evening dresses, with the exception
that none of them open much below the
neck. The common style is the me-
dieyal. which is cut low and square
across lust below the collar, fastened
by a single flat pearl button on the left
shoulder, and then falls to the ground.
The sleeves are rather balloon and are
gathered in snugly at the wrist. from
which they break into fall of lace.
They are also made high-necked, with
elbow sleeves. lace rutfies, collars and
epaulets of all descriptions, banded
" it'll lace insertion and edged with lace
rufiles.
One design in the high-necked gown
was developed in nainsook and ralen-
ciennes lace. The shallow. round yoke
was composed entirely of the insertion.
the standing collar being formed of
q band of pink satin ribbon overlaid
with the lace. 4 deep flounce of rows
of insertion and lawn edged with lace
finished the yoke, and there were ell
bow sleeves ending in lace frill. An
other design was cut with low. round
neck. finished with the new slashed
collar. which was edged all about with
deep lace frill and tied with blue satin
ribbons. An eNquis1ely dainty gown
in dimity was cut rempire. the square
neck edged with open eyelet embroidery
and ruffies of embroidered dimity.
White skirts for evening wear are
made of fine lawn in umbrella fashion,
with one or two wide lace-trmmed
founces set one oTer the other. More
serviceable ones are developed in cam
brio and Hamburg embroidery, which
will survive frequent visits to the laun-
dry. The short skirt often comes in
combination with chemises or corset
cover. The empire chemise is worn over
the corset and answers the purpose OF
both corset cover and skirt. An ex-
tremely dainty affair in this style was
made OF the finest nainsook and valen-
ciennes. The little empire waist was
formed of several rows of insertion and
lawn. gathered into band of insertion
over cloth. Instead of sleeves this
filmy affair was fastened over the shout
ders and white satin ribbons tied in
bow-knot. The skirt portion was
trimmed about the bottom with a
founce of lawn and lace.
The latest design in corset covers is
cut low and round, and trimmed about
the neck with points OF the lawn. edged
with lace. simple but dainty. An elab-
orately trimmed waist would ruin the
fit Of dress. The drawers are fash
toned in umbrella style, or simply made
very wide, and come in all grades Y.
