effect. Indeed. it depends much upon
the accessories whether a get-up Is
stylish or not. Even the wrong petit
coat damages the most beautiful cos
tune.
Women who have the art of dress
at their finger tips. and who are re-
stricted in means, depend largely upon
details for an elegant appearance. If
there is only one gown, and a plain
one at that, it is kept well brushed
and pressed; the petticoat underneath
is never allowed to look old, and
gloves and shoes always seem brand
new. A decade ago a gentleman was
always known by his immaculate
linen and carefully BACKED shoes, and
to-day it is practically the same thing
with woman's dress. Thou shalt be
clean" is the first commandment of
Fashion.
The Kimona Model in NeGIigees.
In negligee, the kimona model,
which is seen in various lengths, ranks
first for comfort, simplicity and cheap
ness. Fashioned in qualities of silk
and cotton textiles too numerous to
mention by name. this Oriental gar
ment, with its collarless neck and wide
sleeves, is without peer for hot
weather service. A combination of
figured and plain textures does away
with superfuous trimming, and any
woman with two ideas. a needle, a
thimble and a spool of thread. can
make the prettiest kimona ever seen.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-06-19

If the home sewer is not confident
OF her powers, let her begin with a
handkerchief kimona, buying the
squares at any department store. The
handkerchiefs supplied for this SER
vice are floral In design. Huge cab
bage roses and impossible chrysanthe-
NUNS are stamped on some of them,
the borders matching the flower, and
the squares themselves being very big.
In one shop a made-up kimona in
magnificent blues and reds was shown
in bandana kandkerchiefs, A dark girl
should wear it.
Tea Gown Designs.
The negligees in tea gown designs,
which now run to the most becoming
flowing sleeve effects, are delightfully."-
modish, and dressier than the kimona
models. For pretty arms there are
sleeves which hang at the elbow in
wide bells. composed of tiny lace
edged flounces. Sleeves in airy mate
rails such as Swiss, null, etc. are
frequently in unlined bishop shape,
with ribbon draw strings at the wrist
Few summer negligees are high at
the throat, and some Of the more ele-
CANT ones, along with sleeves elabor-
ately picturesque, are made to hang
open over petticoats equally dressy.
Such styles are thought to go espe-
cially well with pompadour, coiffures
and a black patch upon the cheek, for
the girl of fashion is nothing if not
consistent in her effects.

toner's secret, and he won't tell. In
cidentally, crests are done in the
original shades of enamel, and are
very expensive.
Summer girls insist upon something
new in stationery, whether it is in en-
tirely good form or not, and the
manufacturers have met this demand
with some odd effects. For instance
there is the English twill, white with
the narrowest edging of blue all
around it. The flap is rounded ana

drawers to night gowns, and are
trimmed with a very fine quality of
narrow lace and ribbons to match the
flowers.
The conservative woman who wants
just touch of color in her lingerie
secures it by the use of ribbons, and
the popularity of broderie d'Anglaise,
with it's many eyelets done in white,
gives her ample opportunity for run
ming ribbons without employing head
ing.
Directoire influence, as shown in I'M
derwear, proves that when the TWEEN
tieth century girl is married she no
longer plans trousseau lingerie which
is to last her for many years. There
are styles in lingerie as we'll as in
blouses, and the up-to-date girl makes
only enough lingerie to last during
the prevailing vogue.
The directoire styles will prevail in
fall gowns; hence it behooves the sum-
mer girl who is devoting ner mornings
on the porch to the making of hand
wrought lingerie to study the direc-
toire styles. For instance, there is
exhibited at st. Louis some French
convent work which is notable for its
suggestions of directoire styles.
A night dress of the finest batiste is
cut with a deep square neck and half
sleeves The empire waist effect is
secured by fine tucks just above and
below the bust, with a loose puff in be-
tween, and the square neck is outlined
with bands built up from square me-
dallions. Every other medallion shows
a tiny flower design, and the alternate
ones have small figures in Louis XIII
costume. all in the most exquisite en-
broidery. The sleeves are shaped elab-
orately, the puff being gathered in the
bands similar to those used for outlin-
ing the neck, and the epaulet of en-
hroidery in small flowers falls in deep
points over the pun.
Another directoire hint is shown in
the short-waisted night dress and che
mise The waist Of the former is
built entirely of puffs or shirrings,

Direcfoire Styles
Invade Lingerie

Three distinctive features of incom-
ing styles in lingerie are the marked
tendency toward colored effects, the
directolre influence, and the increas-
ing delicacy of the fabrics employed.e
There are many women to whom
white will always appeal for lingerie,
particularly when worn under trans
parent vests. but these woman will be
sorely tempted by the methods en-
ployed for introducing colors into the
most delicate of underwear. For in
stance, there is a charming example
in brodierie d'Anglaise done on the
f'rest of white nainsook in tiny pat

blue, lavender, green and yellow.

are peppered with fine eyelet work, the
edges are finished In small scallops to
correspond, and where there is too
much fulness, a succession of button
holes Is worked just below the seal
lops, and ribbons to match the EN-
broldery are run through these. AS a
rule. very little embroidery is used
but It Is exceedingly fine in workman
ship.
The batistes and lawns are more
pronounced IN coloring. They are
printed IN the same pale colorings
which have been In vogue for sum-
mer frOcks A pure white ground rs
employed. and the flowers chosen are
exceedingly delicate. such as forget
me-nots pale pink hawthorn, single
yellow roses and paiest yiolets. These

; they are made elegant by laundering,
and their Cheapness makes it possible
to buy a large number.
AS a trimming for homemade lin
gerie nothing is better than imitation
valenciennes, many patterns of which
are copied from ancient designs in the
real web. These delicate laces com
! bine well with the thin lawns used,
and are especially suited to summer
| service. Readings, insertions and edg-
ings can be found to match.
There are decided changes through
out all the field of underwear as re-
CARDS form. The chemises are, as
rule, made long enough to be worn
over the corset, and often have bust
trimmings in bertha form to give them
more of an underbody look. Drawers
are very short and immensely widA,
and the favorite summer nightdress
has elbow sleeves and a cut-out neck
round, square or pointed back or front
Ribbon draw-strings are in favor, and
, there is q certain tape sort which have
a dainty look.
Pompadour ribbons are sometimes
used with some of the imported bridal
SETS and a lowered silk corset in
matching pattern Is often shown with
the combination. A number of these
French corsets are the merest girdles
of ribbon. There are others in The
same form of thin white tape which, on
|, moderately slim figures, are admirable
for hot weather use. For the rest there
is no great change In corsets. unless it
is shortening of the upper portion of
them, it having been discovered that
depth above the waist is not necessary
for a good figure.
Those women to whom the old re-
straints are no longer endurable often
have ready-made corsets altered at the
shop and whalebones substituted for
the hard steels at the sides. These
slight changes make vast difference in
comfort In very hot weather it is de-
sirable to have at least two pairs of
corsets in use at time and wash them
as often as possible.
Nothing causes a woman more misery
in the summer than understandings
which have been worn too long. To
the smart woman immaculate freshness
is as necessary in the corset as i'm any
thing else. Hot water, ammonia and
strong washing soap should be used
to purify it. Place the corset, with
string and steels in. up and down the
washboard; scrub It in that position
with coarse brush, and dry it in the
air. At good French laundry the Cir
die Will be turned out in even more de-
srable shape for IS cents or a trife
more. If the corset is a very good one,
peAaps this is the best way to have it
cleaned.
Hot Weather Pettic0nts.
Hot weather petticoats likewise ad-
init of publication, for the most de-
slrable ones are all in washable mate
rails. Some charming little skirts for
practicable use are seen in tinted
chambrays, an edge of torchon or

For the same woman. by the way,
there comes again this year the con-
venient shirt waist distender built from
ruffies of embroidery or cambria edged
with lace. These are applied to plain
vest or dicky of the cambria, with
bands Of beading or finishing braid. and
the distender is hooked to the corset
cover.
The increasing popularity of the che
mise is due also to the directoire fad i.
The Partisan woman has always IN
clined toward this garment, but the
American woman has viewed it with
suspicion. as being cumbersome at the
waist line. The French woman wears it
next to her skin, under her corset. She
has it made short to a point just above
the knees, and the fulness at the waist
line is obviated by the use of cores.
AS to materials. there is nothing TOO
fine for lingerie wrought by hand.
Wash chiffon, fine batiste, and the film-
list of China silk are employed. A che
mise built from one of these fabrics
can be crushed in one hand. They re-
quire the most delicate embroidery py
hand and real lace trimmings. For
general use, nainsook is most satisfac-
tory, as ii combines with ordinary en-
broidery and lace to the best advan-
tage. The vogue of broderie d Anglaise
calls Tor heavier grade OF linen, Sucn
as our grandmothers used for their
trousseaux. This is finished in seal
lops and will last a life time.
The girl who yearns for hand-wrought
clothes, but who has little time to give
to such work. will find some valuable
aids in the shops. For instance. there
are little yokes for corset covers, night
gowns, and chemises, done in machine
embroidery. which are an admirable
imitation of hand-work. BY setting
these into her homemade underwear
with fine beading. she can secure very
good effects. If she would give an ex-
ira touch Of smartness, let her write
her initials in small letters and EN-
broider them in the simplest OF satin
stitch. This is more up-to-date than

The rlaud rluller Girl of 1904
BY ANGELINA WHIPPLE.

The seaside and summer resort girl
must watch her laurels closely this
season, for she has a powerful rival
in the Maud Muller Girl. All the bill
Lowry gowns, smart hats and elaborate
furbelows of the summer count as
naught when weighed in the balance
with the charms of this other type
who affects simple gowns and endeav-
ors TO be natural.
Unlike her modish sister who obeys
all of Dame Fashions whims, the
Maud Muller Girl defies the latter and
is her own costumer. She is a law
unto herself, and sets her own fash
ions. the results of which speak for
themselves.
Her first consideration is for her
gowns, all of which are for service
and of inexpensive materials. If she
is going to the country to rusticate,
she can get along with less than If
she is going to a summer resort,
where. of course, she needs more
changes.
One girl who is an artist expects to
combine business with pleasure this
summer, and is going to the country
with camera. easel and paint brushes.
She is member of an art club. and
consequently knows just where to go
for costumes. Accordingly, she rent
ed real Maud Muller gown, such as
artists use for posing models. and this
she copied, making herself a plctur-
esque costume for morning wear.
This particular gown is a combina-
ton of blue and white muslin. The
skirt Is of blue, and the paniers, which
draw up fun over the hips, are of white
with three rows of narrow blue braid
stitched on the edge The blue waist
has square neck edged with a white
ruffie, the elbow sleeves also being fin
ished with white frills. The hat TO be
worn with this costume is a large
rough straw OF a deep cream which
droops In the front and the back.
II is finished with a big black velvet
bow, which is fastened with a cream
straw buckle.
morning wear is a white print with
blue polka dots. It is made ankle
length, slightly full at the waist line
and has a blouse waist with a sailor
collar, which is rather low in the neck
The sleeves are elbow length ana are
finished with beading through which
pink wash ribbon is drawn. A pink
ribbon belt is worn.
