A CHICAGO GIRLS SECRET.
She Says That Swiss Worn Over
White Wash Silk Has the Ef-
feet Of Organdy.

where did you get that exquisite or
candle waist?" asked a girl the other
day of friend who wore dainty crea-
ton that buttoned up the back with tiny
lace buttons.
"Ill let you into the secret" said the
friend. 1T is not particularly fine
organdy or swiss, rather, for it is swiss,
which washes better than the organdy
but it looks 50, because I wear it over
the thinnest kind of white wash silk
blouse, which is made plainly, but along
the same lines. This gives the swiss a
cloudy, filmy and kind of billowy ef-
feet, that makes it look like chiffon.
1t 'throws-up' each little thread of the
lace trimming, so that it appears like
something costly instead of the ordinary
wash valenciennes, which it is. And it
gives soft effect to the skin.
'The lining, too, saves the swiss, so
that by washing it out in the wash bowl
and pressing it when nearly dry the
waist itself can be worn two or three
times without doing up. Besides all this.
instead of having to lay the whole thing
away this fall, intend to wear it with
the lining all winter. Try it yourself -
added the girl, generously, "but be sure
and get the softest and highest silk pos
sible, as more expensive quality will
net mix so artistically with the waist
fabric and look so much like part of 1t. +"

pieces of embroidery to their patrons,
in patterns combined with embroidery
and with tiny gros grain ribbon in
pale tints manufactured for the pur-
pose. The patterns were of the Louis
