one or the innumerable French
princesses has created something of a
sensation in that fashionable set in
Paris known as the royalists. by
trousseauing herself with a complete
outfit of pink lingerie.
In this noble bridal outfit there are
sets in pink silk, sets in pink dimity,
in pink lawn, in pink nainsook and a
fine pink muslin. The shades chos IN
are old rose, pastel, pink, peace color,
old pink with blush rose.
| Each set consists of six pieces
which includes two petticoats, one,
the little underskirt, called a
"modesty petticoat."
| Pink corsets Of silk, of satin. of
eoutille, of ribbon. of straps of silk
braid and lace, and little "corsetties
of lace, with ribbon along the top and
along the lower edge, for wear with
an empire waist, are found in the out
fit.
The fad for pink is quite virulent en-
the continent. Russian pink is the
latest shade. 1t is ripe pink, re-
sembling watermelon pink, and is the
popular color in st. Petersburg this
season, that northern city of fashion

In this country pink has long been
the favorite color in the femme world
1t is the wedding shade and the color
that young women choose for evening

wear. There is blush rose nainsook
which in nightgowns is simply de-
lfghtful. 1t should be fancifully
made and trimmed with ribbons and
lace; for any color, no matter how
cheerful it may be, needs the enliven
ing effect of white.
A ping nainsook nightgown was cut.
The neck was finished with white lace.
Below the lace there was a ruffie oil
the pink, and then came a chou of
pink ribbon, one at each side of the
point in the neck, and each finished
with streamers of ribbon.

fashion, and the points are trimmed
with lace. To heighten the umbrella
\ effect, strips of white lace insertion
are set in the leg from the waist dowr
to the points, so that the leg, if spread
out upon a table, would greatly re
semble an umbrella, with bands OF

A graceful leg is the circular one
which is very short. but finished will

caught up on the outside with a
ribbon and an ornament. A rosette
of ribbon, just large enough to hold a
little buckle of gold, can be used fol
this drapery, or one Of the little
metallic ornaments now so much used
can be fastened on.
The work of ribboning underwear is
pleasant one. and one to which the
fastidious woman will gladly devote
half an hour per week, if, indeed, il
takes so long. A stitch or two will
mold the rosettes in place, and a few
turns of the ribbon needle will carry
the ribbon through the embroidery, Oh
insertion, or openwork. To facilitate
this work of ribboning the underwear
there now come the tiniest of saftey
pins, which can be used to catch the
bows in place, so that no sewing is
necessary.
In petticoats vast strides have been
taken since spring. Then they were
full and fitted only at the hips. Now
they are fitted throughout the full
length and hang precisely like dress
skirt, save that they are not quite as
full.
The new petticoat models show the
pettticoat sewed upon a fiat silk
band, very thin. The hips are very
close fitting and the petticoat is
draped, with all fulllness thrown &C

the foot in a more profuse manner
than though it were a dress skirt
but otherwise it bears a very close
resemblance to the skirt of the gown
