DAINTY HOUSE ROBES.
Long and short Negligees of Parisian
Design and Make for
Indoor Wear.

The French negllgees may pe gotten
all made in very beautiful designs and
materials. / saw one of them of uncut
velvet in q rich bleu de France, which
fell in a Watteau behind into long
train, and was widened still more on
the floor by deep shaded fiounce,
which sloped down toward the front
somewhat narrower. This was headed
withquillings OF blue ribbon, and much
ivory guipure trimmed the shoulders
and square-cut neck. The sleeves
reached the wrists, and the front was
confined at the waist with ribbon
belt, revealing its white silk lining, and
a fluffy lace and muslin petticoat.
In white silk and wool crepon an
other was built on much the same
lines, and lined with white silk, and
still others in china silks and lndias
we're lined with white albatross. A
pink-corded silk negligec was trimmed !
with pink silk muslin and ivory gui-
pure. this, too, with a shaped fiounce |
and a Vatican back, and it few open
down the front to show delicate pink
china silk lining and balayeuse.
In very nice shapes with tucked
backs, pouchy fronts, belts and shaped
flounces on the long trailing skirts
we're negligees of fine French flannel
and cashmere in delicate colors,
trimmed with rows of baby velvet rib
bon, and lined with white albatross.
Little jacket negiigees are pouched
l. fa-
ished with ruffles of lace or silk or
muslin about the hips, the fronts cross
ing surplice fashion with long pointed
ends, which tie at the waist and hang
down upon the skirt. The sleeves are
loose, easy sabots, finished with ruff
fes at the elbows.
Long crepe negligees are plated
their whole length and inserted with
long barbs of guipure, the sleeves
shirred and banded with lace closely
about the whole arm, and there is an
empiecement in yoke shape about the
neck, which is of applique crepe mo-
! tifs embroidered with colored silks
upon a transparent white net. Even
! more elaborate are robes of silk mus
| lin entirely puffed in hoops from throat
to feet, the robe hanging loosely over
q plated underdress of thin silk, which
shows down the open fronts. About
the sides and hem of the loose over
| dress there is plating of lace, and
| insertions of lace separate the rows of
bouillionnes into graduated clusters.
The sleeves are entirely of guipure, as
| is, too, little round, chokerless yoke
from which hangs the silk underdress.
The underdress is girdled with long
! fringed ribbon.
A little house dress which is charm
ing in either foulard or cashmere
| hangs straight in front, and on the
sides, and is fulled behind from deep
yokelike bodice of ecru guipure. This
lace yoke ends just under the bust in
| scallops over the silk breadths, and be-
| hind is fastened up the center of the
back with little round buttons, COW
cred with the silk, the neck slightly
| square and chokerless. The breadths
of silk are very long, and behind trail
considerably and have rutfies on the
| inside of the hem, and the sleeves are
| Vatican affairs to the elbows where
there are ruffles and little velvet bows.
A princess of cashmere, sleeveless,
collarless, and crossing in front in sur
| plice fashion, velvet belt with a
rosctte combining it about the waist
line, flares open down the front to
show a petticoat of lace and muslin,
of silk or one of guipure made espe-
cially for the frock. The sleeves are
! Of this guipure fitted and plain, or il
shirred muslin. the color of the gown,
and some surplice folds of stuff to
match the sleeves are draped inside
the cashmere, filling up the V-shaped
opening as much or as little as one
likes. 1t is charmingly simple and
i pretty house gown, and may be fur.
