III VI lingerie gowns are now mduc
with an immense amount of work
upon them. One of these little gar
ments has a fitted back underarm
cores which gives it an exact fit, but
the front is full. The front is cover
ed with inserts and motifs of Valen-
ciennes lace, while about the neck
is frill of lace. Many of the new
corset covers are made with fitted
girdle which helps to give the Prin-
cess skirt its nice adjustment. A
number of pretty waists are made
with full ruffles edged with lace
across the bust, which is particular
ly suited to the full fastened in the
back. Blind embroidery is used a
great deal upon all underwaists
which are fitted close to the figure
without any fulness even at the
neck. In this way the patterns is
the better shown up. A pretty COR
set cover. with a seam under each
arm, was scalloped around the
square neck, armholes and down the
front, and embroidered in a pattern
of clover leaves and eyelet work,
and buttonholes for an inch-wide
ribbon to run through. A while suit
was embroidered in this manner and
run with ribbons.
Handkerchiefs have come under
the sway of the lace rage and they
are most beautifully decorated with
frills, insertions, corner motifs, in
sets, and tiny medallions. One of the
summer pastimes for the summer
porch will be the making of these
beautiful, airy creations which cost
small fortunes in the shops. But.
so many patterns are now sold for
their making, that every woman may
have few of them. There should
be a half dozen with hemstitched
borders and the monogram worked
into one corner. others may have q
narrow point lace pattern worked
around the border, and still Others
may have little motifs set in the cor
ners.
| Another bit of fancy work that car
be put to good use is Irish croche
lace which is really one with the ole
fashioned crochet stitches but will
linen thread of that creamy tint tina
looks so much like the real Irisl
lace threads. Collars are made il
this work and If you have frient
who learned this in her girlhoot
days, / am sure she will be able t,
show you some old patterns or in
vent some new ones. The collar
and cuffs are usually made wit
section or small design sown to tn
pattern, and some times fastened o.
together with coarse point lac
stitches, while others are crochete
together. For underwear, line
dresses and aprons the crochet-worl
lace makes one of the prettiest an,
daintiest trimmings; but it needs t.
be done in very fine thread and o
linen to make the best effect.
lace done in silk would be a hand
some finish to the China silk corse
covers now worn under the lawn
batists and organdy waists.
There is not much change in th
new blouses. Sleeves still continu

low and are worn without or will

style are fastened down the back

used upon them. All the sheer ma

liking for inset-work, and designs
made for the new waists with opeT
neck as we'll as the surplice waists
have created a demand for fancy
yokes, tuckets and chemisettes, while
the short sleeves have made the
gauntlet and cuff a necessity. Chem
Iisettes are often made of tucked
laws, linen or batiste in combination
with rows of lace insertion. A tuck
ed chiffon is also liked where th'
dress is of silk. fuckers are made
of embroidery batiste, handkerchie
linen, baby Irish lace, and also by the
