Creations, with Nainsoox
Holding Preference.
The first CLINT OF the newest, daintest
and most exclusive Of spring underwear is
now on display and difficult to please in
deed would be the person who out OF the
exquisite array could go away without
making a satisfactory selection. There Is
every variety from which to choose, from
the severely plain 20 the most elaborate
patterns possible to conceive, and Of course
prices range accordingly. Daintiness is
notlceably the aim in every garment, and
the fabrics used are either handkerchief
linen, batiste, nalnsook or longcloth, Main
sock in the handsomer pieces is given the
decided preference but everything is con-
spicuously soft, fine and free from dressing.
All of the very latest up-to-date underwear
is shaped to give a round bust and a taper
ing waist. and to fit with as few wrinkles
over the hips as possible. This is noticeable
both in the domestic and imported goods.
In all other points however the two kinds
Of underwear DIFFER in a marked degree.
In the domestic nightgowns very pretty
one was shown In empire style with an
effective pattern Of allover embroidery
combined with lace insertion and edging to
the chemise sleeve which was elaborate,
with rows Of lace insertion cleverly de-
signed.
Noticeable IN all OF the gowns is the
deliberately trimmed sleeve, even If the rest
Of the garment is comparatively plain.
Another domestic gown that attracted at
tention had a solid tucked yoke finished
around the neck with embroidery medal
lions. The angel sleeves were cut in points
at the bottom and each point was also
finished with a medallion and outlined with
German val lace No attempt is made at
trimming the bottom of these gowns. The
prices Of these garments range from 81
to SO apiece.
Delicate Embroidery.
To examine the French embroidery dis
played on this seasons lingerie is to pro-
nounce it a work of art The most eX-
elusive designs and daintiest of patterns
presented, and often very intricate
stitches are employed to produce the ar
tistic effect aimed at. Each of the myriad
stitches is set with painstakng precision,
and the embroidery work is always done
directly on the material. English eyelet
work and medallion effect is very popular
/ in this kind Of work and it is used on the
separate garments and matched sets. A
]
compose a set Collarless night dresses, to
be slipped over the head, are considered
better than those with collars. The draw
! ers are made with circular flounce, which
| is generally almost solid with trimming
and completed with a lustrous bow Of rib
/ bon which adds a charming touch Of color.
| The chemise in these matched sets almost
| repeat the pattern of the gown, but usually
they are more conspicuous with bows or
rosettes of wash ribbon. These sets cost
from $3.50 to $50. Some very handsome
petticoats are shown and are more or less
elaborate, according to their purpose and
the material of which they are made. Knee
! Gounces are shown on almost all of the
skirts. Tucked flounces with medallions
outlined with lace insertion and edging to
match, and lace-edged dust rufties with
large effective bows of ribbons are de-
llghtful for dress occasions, but wholly
out of place under walking costume.
New Line of skirts.
Morning and street dresses demand a
plain skirt of heavier material, embroid-
cry Of the heavier pattern making a sub
stantial hounce or the plain hem-stitched
ruffles may be used. These petticoats cost
from 50 to $40. One of the very newest
fads shown in gowns or chemise are those
made of pearline null, which has the same
luster as silk and with dainty trimmings
of tucks, German val lace and bows
Of ribbons makes one Of the most
attractive garments shown this season
Another entirely new style introduced in
underwear is the princess slip. 1t is a
combination corset cover and long skirt
and opens down the back. One of the hand,
soonest on display fits over the corset al.
ropet YIafn hut IL inset with large OblOnn
medallions, which slope to the waist. Al
the belt line there is a wide beading
threaded with ribbon. A deep, sheer founcC
with clusters OF tucks and insertion OF
German val lace completes a very beauti
full garment. These princess slips cost
from SO TO SO.
