As Cooler Weather Comes.

AS the cooler weather comes on the
underskirt for wear beneath the lin
gerie blouse will be in order. The
simplest of these under slips is OF
light weight linen, batiste or China
silk in a solid color and absolutely
plain. Such a waist will go with
nearly any blouse and is far prefer
able to those having more ornamen-
tation.. If the outer waist is plain,
thin or solid color, the waist beneath
may have a front, or the sides of the
front opening decorated with inser-
ton, lace insets, etc, but one must
closely study the effect from under
the outer waist. The checked silks
are pretty when made up in these I'M
derwaists.
Two other articles are usually in
cluded among lingerie effects the
matinee and tea-gown. To the for
mer a wide range is given both in
material and make as it is a garment

one of these garments were made of
fine French nainsoOk most carefully
cut and made. A hem, daintily feath-
erstitched by hand through which
ribbon could be drawn and edged
with narrow lace, was the only neck
finish of some of these garments. 9th
ers had merely a Valenciennes frill
and one of the lovely fine headings
now so much used, set on by hand.
On many of the seasons models the
X yokes are deep enough to give an
empire suggestion. 1t is called yoke
but is made deep enough and looks
more like a little body. This body
may be original in shape and elabor-
ately trimmed with embroidery, lace,
tuckings, insets of lace, indeed every
kind of ornamentation may be used.
The lower edge is often finished with
a broad beading through which a
broad ribbon is drawn to simulate the
girdle, and many use the true girdle
of liberty satin. To obtain plenty of
fullness the skirt of the gown is laid
on the yokes with tucks.

Matinee Simply Cut.

A Matinee, or more properly a
dressing sack in this instance, of
simple cut, was made from pink chal-
lis covered with arailing vines and
flowers in dull green's and browns,
finished with a band of brown EN-
broidery The V shaped neck was
finished with a band which also ran
down the front and was used for a
belt. Tucks on each side of the front
ran from the neck to just above the
bust, this giving sufficient fullness in
the front The sleeves were full and
gathered just below the elbow into a
band of the embroidery and the waist
is becomingly gathered into the waist
under the belt. A more decorative
matinee could be developed from
cream rajah and embroidered the
the scalloped edges with robins blue
silk. The yoke, stole-fronts were
strips and sleeves are cut in one
piece all edges being embroidered
and slit in places to show the under
part of tucked chiffon. The skirt
backs and fronts are shirred to the
yoke and the neck is low above which
peeps a collar of the tucked chiffon.
The closing is made with tiny hooks
and silk eyes, and blue bows decor
ate the front.

Attractive Lingerie Q

A very attractive type of lingerie
petticoat had a flounce, the upper
part of which was of lingerie materi-
al cut in deep points on its lower
edge. In each point was an inset of
lace. Between the points was an in
set of alternative up and down rows
of valenciennes and lingerie bands
set together with a tiny feather
stitching, A lace friH decorated the
bottom of the fiounce.
Another mode has a founce of fine
batiste laid on the upper skirt, in
clusters of tiny tucks under a yelling.
A ribbon was drawn through en-
broidered eyelets set between the
clusters of tucks and tied in bow
knots at every third eyelet.
The simplest form of the handsome
lingerie petticoat is fitted top of
soft sheer lingerie stuff finished at
the bottom by deep fiounce OF
handsome embroidery set on by a
wide band of beading. Wide liberty
satin ribbon is run through the bead
+ ing and tied in long loops and ends on
both sides. The body of the skirt
usually extends beneath the founce
and is finished with a narrow lace
trimmed ruffle. Many of the lingerie
petticoats have deep aounces, but
there is no bulkiness where they are
set on. The fiounce is carefully
shaped and set on smoothly by the
means of tiny tucks narrowing to-
wards the bottom SO as to obtain a
good flare. Ribbon plays no unim-
portant part in the trimming of the
fine skirt. drawn through beading
it may head a skirt 1ounce, which
buttons under the heading to the
foundation skirt, or it may be drawn
through a blind tuck just below the
yeining which covers the place of
joining, or it may be drawn through
eyelets and fastened in great bows on
each side. During the summer "a
good many colored wash skirts were
in fashion, those of coloreG pongee
with deep scalloped founces embroid-
cred in self-color were perhaps mos.
favored, and there came others none
the less attractive in linen and linen
embroidered in a contrasting color.
The lawn skirt in color is also
shown and when joined with the
colored underskirt to match is ex-
ceedingly attractive under muslin
dress or those of thin silk Change
able taffetas are serviceable for this
purpose as well as the striped, check
ed or plaid silks. For more elabor-
ate purposes still there are the
chiffontafettas trimmed with tuck
ing, quilting, lace, while satins are
much liked for skirts bearing whole
laces, founces or founces of lingerie
material lace trimmed.
Whole flounces are. made of alter
mating bands of Valencinnes lace and
embroidery. Lace frills edge such a
founce, a three inch width of lace
edging being the ordinary choice.

Correspondence Times Recorder.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Ruff1es and
frills! No other words are express
sive of the billowy white heaps of
lingerie displayed in the stores and
exchanges. There seems to be no
limit to the ingenuity of the design
ers, and one wonders if these dainty
their delicacy appears too frail for
service, but the desire for elaborate
trimmings, daintiness and fineness is
not yet gratified in the heart of the
American woman. Both French and
American makers vie with each 9TH
err Each has its clientels; the form
er has been up to the present time,
much more expensive than the Amer
lean garments; but now that hand
work is so in demand, the French in
luence is leaving it's mark even up
on American goods, and the price is
accordingly increasing.
To speak of one particular gar
ment, petticoats, is both necessary
and pleasurable. 1t is imperative
that this adjunct of a woman's ward
robe should be absolutely correct if
one wishes success in the set of the
outside skirt; and no woman could
inspect these dainty articles without
receiving many ideas that can be car
ried into effect by the work of her
own hands.
