The room slippers occupied a half draw
er. They were Of all coiors, some Of
them c~rocheted, but most of them made
out of odd and bright bits of felt, en-
broidered and snugly fitted to a wool sole.
These were cut without heels, just the
toes sticking into he slippers. Little
slippers of this pattern are very easy to
make and can be delicate1y embroidered
or appliqued according to taste.
Stockings, many of them quite orig
inal, occupied their half drawer. These
hose, long and beautiful in color and de-
sign were not all Of silky texture, many
of them being of cashmere n the heav-
Ter grades of hose. But all were very
prettily finished. A pair of lavender
cashmere stockings were cut in button-
holes around the leg where the boot top
would come. A ribbon ran around the
leg and tied in front. Other cashmere
stockings were blocked with ribbon ap-
plique, this last style being very easily
arranged, even wooden stockings could
be treated in this way.
Others, of more delicate design, were
cut upon the instep and the holes worked
around with b%uttonnole stitch. Under
meath were set pieces Of violet colored
taffeta. Several Of the sets of hosiery were
with lace instep Of the most beautiful de-
sign, with silk set underneath. The fash
ion of lining the instep in openwork
stockings wi undoubtedly become popu-
lar as many ladies do not think it good
form to wear very openwork stockings.
A very artistic arrangement is the shap-
ing of the underwaist, or corset cover, by
means of ribbons. The entire garment is
made in rows of insertion sewed together
in horizontal rows extending across the
bust. Narrow ribbons are run through
the holes in the insertion n tied in such
a way as to shape the corset cover. The
ribbons are tied snugly above the bust.

are heightened again around the waist. In
this way a perfect fit is secured and the
corset cover can be worn with any waist.

the ribbons are removed and the garment
becomes a nearly finished piece.
For Empire corset overs a still pref.
tier style is seen. The needlework is sewed
together in perpendicular rows, running
from The neck to a point just below the
bust line. Ribbons are run up and down,
through the holes of needlework, and are
tied in little bows at che neck and bust.
The whole is drawn around the figure UNI
der the bust with a ribbon and tied in
front. These are half covers and are very
comfortable.
Tailcr-made dresses that fit like wax
are worn over half corset covers. These
are made in the method described, oe fine

dark silk, to which can be attached bril-

lace, silk NJ embroidery, as elaborate
as possible.

taffeta blouse is worn underneath. 9th

There is a very convenient form of
lounging dress which was invented by
one of the most fashionable ladies OF
Paris. It has no buttons. no hooks and
no stir strings and is adjusted by the
tie of a cord. The dress is cut with a
round neck. large enough to admit the
