The everyday petticoats of next sum
mer will be Bingham. The Bingham pet
ticoats in pretty soft plaids and checks
were introduced last year and at once
became popular. There are some very
good bargains in the ready-made ginghan
p~etticoats, but as they are very simple
to fashion many women are making then
up at home by the half dozens.
Very dainty white p%etticoats will be
worn in the warmer season.
A woman cannot well nav too many
pieces of white underwear, and there
is an infinite satisfaction that goes witt
the folding away of pretty. dainty
batiste, lawn and muslin articles thai
one has fashioned oneself. 1t is quite
the fad nowadays for women to dc
their own white sewing.

bingham petticoats. AS it is an assured
fact that skirts will continue to fit very
closely about the hips, ~petticoats must
be cut to match. The newest bingham
petticoats are. gored at the top, and a
bias seam coming down the back makes
it possible to do away with almost all
fullness. The gored skirt comes just
above the knee and is there joined by q
circular fiounce, which is hemmed at the
bottom and has three tiny bias ruffles set
on.
These ruffles are gathered over a cord
and machine stitched to the fiounce.
Under the bias seam at the back there
is stitched a strong white tape to keep
he seam from stretching when launder-
ed. It requires eight yards of Bingham
of ordinary width to make a skirt after
the described model.
Six bingham petticoats will be mons
too many for the busy woman who
goes downtown every day or for the
woman who does her own marketing
and shopping. If she makes them her
self, Sc will cover the entire cost. OF the
six, two may be soft colors in big plaids,
two striped and two checked.
The checks are pretty in clear reds and
white and blues and white. The stripes
may be in buff and white and gray and
white.
Grass linen skirts are also excellent
for everyday wear, but in these only
a very good and rather expensive linen
should be used, as the cheaper grades
will stretch out of shape.
From Paris come the models in daint
lily colored batistes for underwear gem
orally, but particularly for night dresses.
One set of these pieces is in pale laven-
der with frills and insertions of fine
thread lace.
One most delightful little cow is
made of a most delicate tint of pink
lawn with bands of dotted footing set
in, and ruffles of the lawn edged with
the footing in a very narrow width.
But however attractively gotten up
womankind still clings to snowy white
ness in lingerie. A very desirable ma
terial for might gowns is the white
French cambria tina has tiny pin spots
of white or blue. This material launders
beautifully and wears without end. Fine
checked muslins are going to be used
extensively for night dresses and all I'M
dergarments except the long skirts.
The dainty coneeit for a luncheon fol-
lowing an evening at the theatre, private
musicale, card party, or any other style of
an amusement on Washington's birthday,
or given in honor of some military per-
sonage, is decidedly original, odd and
very effective, says the "Woman's Home
Companion" in the centre of a small
table is a bed of palm-leaves sprinkled
with small blue flowers. and rising from
it is that part of our nineteenth-century
battleship known as the c-onning-tower,
tipped with Old Glory. while the gum
compartments are filled with different
sorts of fruits. Around this are arranged
the ancient style ship-hulls of cardboard
bearing sandwiches and fancy cakes. In
front of every cover there is a stack of
chocolate bayonets tied firmly together
with cherry-hued ribbon, and extending
from these to the top of the flagstaff are
ropes of cherries intermingied with tiny
matches. Ices nodded to initiate the
Liberty Bell are served on American
shields. while bon-bon-boxes fashioned
like. war leggins are presented to all.
For the small sleeve now used for ball
gowns, a special chemise in fine cambria
and wash silk has the yoke of lace in
sertion and narrow tucks attached to the
figure by colored ribbon shoulder STRAPS.
Then there are the new night robes, the
waist confined by a four-inch blue or
pink satin ribbon sash run through an
open work insertion and falling in long
ends below the knees. The waist por-
ton. a mass of lace insertion and ruffles,
looks more like an evening blouse than
a garment to be slept in. Ribbon bows
to match the sash at the throat and on
the sleeves add to the effect.
In petticoats lawn or nainsook we find
the new circular iounce used on those of
taffeta silk. This f~iounce, a mass Of tucks
and embroidery or lace, when Numbered,
helps to support the flare at the foot of
the gowns beneath which they are worn.
New silk hose are gorgeous beyond any
thing yet shown, the prettiest being those
of black silk embroidered in silver and
gold.
