Worn All Winter.

Worn All Winter.
The sheer white fabrics are worn al
winter as peignoirs By dainty women.
These are made with a multiplicity OF
tuckings and with an infinite amount Of
handwork Fortunately shocking. tuck
ing. fine embroidery. and stirring can
all be bought by the Jard. and so =
woman can put together on Of these neg
liges without working her whole life
| long upon the job.
There are lovely little handmade
scarfs which are thrown around the
/ neck and there come the lovely knitted
| things. wide and flmy. which are cast
over the head, drawn around the Shout
| der, and caught under the chin with a
fancy pin. This Is very comfortable
style of b0udoir scarf If one is not feel
| ing well to throw on OF a chilly day
It would be interesting to note how
many varieties of japanese goods have
| come into vogue the past season. The
japanese silks. and indeed all the Jap
anese stuffs. are distinguished from 9TH
ers by the fact that they are very sheer.
by their exquisite texture. by the man
ner N which the work IS executed. and
BY the coloring. japanese cream tint IS
( one OF the most becoming coIors that
/ can be found. Made over silver. it IS
| gorgeous.
| Many Of the negliges are made over
thin silk. and. in this case, the hand
soonest results are obtained. Canvas
made so as to show the weave, but very
silky. is made up over a lustrous silk.
| Where this IS done both should be OF
| one color, as the best results are OBJ
| tanned in that manner.
| A warm ueglige, cheerful for the gra
| days Of fail. was made OF wolfe. very
thin. over lining of silk The cut OF
the grown was the kimono shape and
| the hem was bound with a deep band
OF China silk. The lining was japanese
silk, and the whole gown seemed 70
| weigh only a few ounces. Lightness IS
| one of the most desirable things in a
morning gown. and the second one is
that 1t hang from the shoulder. for all
\ the new negliges are either hung from
! the shoulder or are in some way ar
ranged 50 that the weight is taken OF
! the belt.
With nice negliges goes nice under
wear, Of course. And, particularly. must
the hosiery be nice. There Is really no
limit to the stockings Of the year. either
in quantity or in quality. in style or in
| execution. One sees new stockings ev-
played in the windows 1t looks as
though woman had at last rebeHed
| against the somberness Of the black
stockings and had turned to something
brighter And positively gayety is the
result.
Here is one of the things you may see:
| Stockings with the instep and front Of
the leg hand painted.
Stockings embroidered by hand and
| beautifully beaded, in all colors. Stock
ings that are inlaid with lace. and in
these there is a great variety at very
| moderate prices.
And one can see stockings that ara
beautifully clicked and others that have
! the leg trimmed in long points comins
we'll uD the leg.
The great majority Of the stockings
are in cOlors other than black and white
| They are in brown and gray and steel
| They are in navy blue. in green, in
heliOtrope. and even in pink. For the
street the women match the stockings 70
| the shoes. But for the house stockings
of all hues are worn with shoes of all
kinds
And while you are thinking Of shoes
do not forget that the new shoes show
as great a variety as the stockings. A
smart pair OF IuSu DOOlS LoI Adli wear
had light gray heels to match a pair OF
light brown gown, and there were shoes
with white heels, very smart and trim,
but apt to get sOiled.
The Shoe and Slipper.
The new shoes show a return to the
pointed toe They are wide across the
ball Of the foot with a pointed toe and
with wide low vamp.
A few of the new shoes show the
toothpick toe. But there IS this about
the pointed toe, that it IS not necessarily
Injurious. The shoe can be so big and
so long that the toothpick toe does not
cramp the foct.
For the house, to wear with the negli-
ge. the new shoes are lovely. They arc
made OF ooze kid. OF suede and OF the
softest of slipper kid.
| Glove Kid could hardly be softer than
lmany of the new shoes and low shoes.
