safety don the thin woods.
Alabatross is extensively employed
for house gowns, there are both wrap
pers and sacks of this material One
neat sack had scallops at the edges,
the scallops button-holed in silk, and
in each scallop a small embroidered
flower. The model here illustrated is
a morning wrapper of cream wool trim
med with insertions of Irish crochet
lace. Much of the style of garments
Of this order hinges on the collar, and
the deep pointed one here shown we
consider unusually attractive. The ell
bow sleeves are the prettiest for such
a negligee. OF course the individual
taste should be followed in selection OF
color and trimmings.
Let us penetrate even further into
the privacy of dress, and for moment
consider the question of fashion in un-
derclothes. In corset covers we notice
decided change; in conformity with a
change in the corset itself and the
growing favor of boned bodices The
garment worn over the corset is higher
in the bust and higher in the neck
a change for the better surely The
mchair skirt with adjustable ruffle is
coming to notice, and is highly salts
factory. Silk flounces ought to make
it popular, and this the dealers have
found out. For the too stout figure the
jersey petticoat is offered, and it, too,
has the attachable hounce; the jerseys
come in both silk and wool. Return
ing to corset covers, we would mention
dainty one that had for trimming
scallops in hand-work. Button-holing
and seed-work are liked now much
more than the one-time cheap elabora-
ton. If you would be strictly up-to-
date, do not go in for be-laced and be-
tucked underwear; it is quality to-day,
not quantity. We are returning to the
good old times Of our mothers and
! grandmothers, when every girl herself
worked the dainty stitches in chemise
and nightgown.
Now, what shall we jump to? Rain
coats seem deserving Of mention,
though really deserving OF a chapter to
themselves. The manufacturers of the
ready-made ones-and there are excel
lent values to be obtained in these
realize that women want something be-
coming even for rainy day; where
fore there is evolved shapely water
proof of good style. There is much
variety of cut, and one of the novel
ones is the Empire. A natty coat is in
an Oxford mixture trimmed with
green. And, by the way, the tate coats
have collar and cuff of contrasting ma
terials. There is box coat of very
good cut this season; no one need look
dowdy the rainy days of the coming
winter.
Recently we had our attention called
to very pleasing costume worn in the
morning by young girl. The skirt
was plaid, mixture of green and
white, blended with softness Gather
than pronounced contrast The blouse
was of creamy white silk, and at the
neck a tie of plaid silk. The color
scheme in this was very good, and
about the whole there chung a charm
ing negligee air. White waists will OBJ
| tain for morning wear the season
through, and if one desires something
for occasions where tailored waist is
a little too plain, we recommend white
embroidered nuns yelling or mohair.
This year these come in patterns, eye
!! let embroidery the decoration. More
elaborate waists of net and silk will be
worn afternoons and evenings. Black
crepe de chine waists are very good
style and we consider them especially
becoming to the large woman; shiny
fabric like satin or silk appears to add
J to the size.
