l bons in he most bewitching manner A robe de nuit had narrow pointed yoke effect below the round neck done in mass of the finest possible hand
 run tucks interrupted by two waved
 bands of exquisitely fine Valenciennes insertion. Another gown in Empire l effect and most elaborate in appear ance had the bodice entirely of hand 1 some embroidery with band of lace
 around the squse-cut neck bordered
 each side with beading through which ribbon was threaded. Lace and bead
 ing formed the high belt, while the
 sleeves were mere apologies in the form
 of three or four inch puffs.
 The butterfly sleeves were noticed
 most frequently, although the high | puff ran it a close second,
 Foamy looking pettlcoats withmuslin tops and pillows of lacy ruffies set on a circular flounce to give the all-around | flare effect that goes with the new dress skirt; bridal petticoats of creamy 1 moire or crisp white glace silk fear | fully and wonderfully bedecked with 1 flounces of fluffy chiffon or lace; skirts with detachable flounces, muslin skirts with deep fiounces of allover embroi- l dery-are but a few of the exclusive unders5irt modeles displayed in this particular lot representative of under
 wear fashions. As for the corset cov- CTS they Were also of nainsook, most of them made up with lace insertion inset in all sorts of pretty conventional de- l signs, all of them opening in the back or else the opening wholly concealed l by the method of trimming.
 1 Tn the way of ornamentation several new ideas were expressd. For instance, l wavy lines of lace or embroidery inset here and there with small oval-shaped
 medallions bordered with frills of lace, or rosettes fashioned out of yards of
 narrow lace with chux of bebe ribbon set in the center. Motifs of finely
 tucked muslin bordered with lace,
 sometimes, also, with heading and rib-
 bon and with a monogram deftly
 worked on plain centerpiece.
 The clever needle worker will find
 ample use for her time this fall, for it seems as though the lingerie had be-
 come quite as important factor as the
 gown itself, and but little less costly
 One young woman who has to count her pennies has made for her own trousseau some very exquisite pieces l by combining the fine motifs from l null gowns of by-gone days, which
 were perfectly good, with new lace and
 fresh ribbons.
 From q batiste fiounce which had
 seen several years service as an even-
 ing frock she cut the little flower fig
 ures of embroidery and appliqued them
 with very fine stitches and equally fine
 thread to her nainsook gown and sor-
 set cover, and unless one were told one
 would never imagine but that the pat tern was woven in with the nainsook.
 For a golng-away gown the Septem-
 Der bride should select something at once light yet warm enough to protect her from the coolness which September
 evenings and occasional days are sure
 to bring.
 Mohair and serge are old standbys,
 but there are so many pretty checks
 In lightweight materials that are new l 61 tiISbl ll 0pGltln Sl pllS " Ao1 FlANttA' "A really smart costume built of blue and gray hairline in bias effect has a long, snug-htting coat with three inch border down the front and around he bottom of plain gray matching exactly the gropndwork of the gown
 material There is a little turnover collar of English eyelet emboidery, and blue cloth buttons, with strappings of soutache braid, trim the front and the cuffs on the elbow sleeves. The skirt l is quite plain except for a band of the 2 gray around the bottom. Even with the cloth travelling suit there will be l many times when a separate coaty say, of taffeta or tussore, will be found
 most apropos, and among the smartest of these Is the long, semi-htting gar ment of lustrous black taffeta, with collar and cuffs embroided in silk. . The seams must be perfectly tailored e For a dressier coat the same mode y may be given a trim band of lace witt ; graduated pieces eextending from the 2 bottom upwards beteeweeen the seams f -C. A.
