dainty saute de lit of white China
silk is simple enough in structure to
fill the role of bath robe. 1t boasts the
now popular combination of black and
white and would prove just the thing
for the woman who is confined to light
mourning this summer. II is made

! fiounces of the silk bordered with mar
row black velvet ribbon, The front of

of draped China silk embroidered with
black. There is broad pointed collar

Some of the sheerest batiste boudoir
gowns are quite independent of silk
slips, even though their lavish trim
ming OF open-work embroidery renders
them quite transparent. They are sold
! with detachable slip of batiste that
repeats the ornamentation of the outer
| robe. Many of the batiste houdoir
1 gowns are built on box coat lines and
are made entirely of entire deux and
narrow tucked strips of the batste.
Just under the arms is draped scrap
of soft China silk, which is knotted at
the front and falls with long fringed
ends To the bottom of the robe. Broad
double frills of ACCORDION plated
batiste play the role of elbow sleeves.

shoulder seams and fell in straight

narrow frills of the same silk hem

| with pale pink running rose pattern
was wrought into high corslet girdle

! finished with two rows of the gauze
ribbon. This gown was made without
lining and when bereft of its ribbon
corslet was as washable as the stoutest
white lawn.
