Embroidered Cambria.

Embroidered CamD Dr1c.
An innovation of the season is embroid-
cred cambric. which is sold by the yard.
The designs on the material. ore done IN
satin stitch and look for all the world as
though they had been worked by hand
while at the center of each motif Is appned
an oval or two-inch disc of Valencfennes
all-over. each application showing one on
the figures which go to make up the design
of the lace More effective trimming Tor
trousseau underwear cannot be imagined
and though it is hardly within reach OF the
average pocketbook. 1t offers spiehdiu
suggestion to a girl by which she can
utilize the odds and ends of lace all-oVer
which may have remained from her thlh
summer or winter evening frocks
Just as this rarely beautiful machine
made embroidery is scarcely to be detected
from handwork, so all the new Hamburgs
defy even the critical eye in the perfection
of their workmanship And these exquisite
Hamburgs are being employed in profusion
on all the spring underwear. AS trimming
for nightgowns a wide Hamburg edgfng is
tucked and shaped at the top into bell
shaped elbow sleeves, which, by the way,
is the favorite sleeve of the year Tor the
sleeping robe. Wide Hamburg Insertion TO
match forms a square yoke and is finished
with deep ruffie of the edging.
An Empire Model.
On the empire gowns a single wide band
top of the robe just under the armpit and
impiecements of the Hamburg edging in
terspersed or not with insertions of Valen-
ciennes complete the Mother Hubbard yoke.
On the petticoats the widest Hamburg edg-
ing that can be bought shapes the deep
ruffie Heading the iounce Is broad band
OF Hamburg insertion to match, or six
inch Hamburg beading run through with
satin ribbon acts as the tuneture between
skirt top and ruffie.
Lovely beyond description the bridal
sets of colored Hamburg, the founda-
ton of which Is the softest of lawn. Nou-
veau art designs in pastel blue or pink or
lavender stand out "a gainst the white back
ground. AS Insertions these colored Ham
burgs are applied in uneven strips on the
front of a chemise or nightgown and end
a the waist line. The longest ones termi-
nate in points. while the deep founcings are
shaped with the inevitable tucks and col
ored insertion affords heading.
One-Piece Garment.
Not to be overlooked in the consideration
of fine undergarments is the one-piece cor
set cover and drawers, which Is built en-
tirely OF wide Hamburg. A single width
effects the waist-length corset cover and
attached ingeniously to this by various
cores. are the drawers. The latter likewise
are made from one width OF the Hamburg
and are laid IN wide plaitS rather than
gathers. An edglng of the Hamburg fin
ishes the opening half way up the side OF
each leg.
Wash ribbon plays as important a role as
even in the trimming of fine lingerie. Ros-
cites of knotted ribbon with many dangling
ends are tackled lightly on at the corners
of yokes. and at the head of sleeve rufiies
and three or four are sometimes made 10
grace the top of deep skirt iounces. Such
embellishments. however, are taken OF and
fastened each time the garment is laun-
dered. Even the wash ribbons that run
through insertions should be laundered by
themselves and not put through all the
scrubbing and scalding which the cambric
requires If 1t is kept Immaculate
