handmade effects during the last few
years that the machine-Inade gown and
the handmade one are less far apart in
social distinction than formerly. A few
stitches cunningly introduced into the
machine threads does wonders, and the
manufacturers of trimmings are adopts
in this art. Ii takes a connoisseur to
tell whether embroidery is done by
hand or machine IN many of the finest

The majority of the handsOmest lin
gerie gowns are of princess style. Fly e.
let work is much liked this spring as it
he's been among the previous seasons of
its vogue. Among the most popular
laces Irish crochet and Cluny are de-
| cidedly first with Valenciennes. lace as
an accessory. if not the principal in
nearly every garment. Most really
smart lingerie gowns combine embHOi-
derry with two or even three kinds of
lace and Valencicnnes is sure to b. enc
of them. The coarse Irish crochet mo-

keep all of crocheting Ireland with its
fingers flaying to supply the demand
OF the materials for lingerie gowns
Of handkerchief linen, the mulls, Da-
tistes and dotted embroidered SWiSses
are the most used. Such frocks are go
ing to be varied during the summer
with little fancy silk boleros and huge
! sashes to match them. which require a
full width of silk to make them. 1t is
now a new fad to make the sash of
silk instead of ribbon. although this is
not saying that tie lovely sash ribbons
brought in for such purposes in a great
range of styles and colOrs are not also
to be popular. 1t is a sash season, and
the sash is as likely to be tied to the
| front or side as at the back. 1t is to be
put where the design of the gown calls
for It. Little lace and lace-trimmed
ret coats are also to be used. With a
| few such accessories a single lingerie
gown may be made to appear as a
whole swarm in its varied manifesto

Next to the lingerie princess gown FOR

gown serves for simple morning and
| semi-dressy afternoon toilettes. 1t is
/ at its best in a dozen different phases
| in linen, white or colored: in thin sur
mer silks such as taffetas and fou!arGs
or the more dTessy satins, and in rr
| cottons, especially the ginghams. II
is a new fancy to make striped ging-
| ham up widthwise with the stripes &C

black velvet introduced; ;nto the shout

little guimpes. Given a fluffy lace OF

Especially the borders which vary

Bordered foula1ds, marquisettes

The individual touch comes and the

1 that runs up the price of a gown, and

attempt to make up a frOck without as

of adding the decorative touches in
braiding or embroidering that make
such desirable additions to trimmings.
Embroidered robes of marquisette OF
other thin fabrics with patterns
wrought in chenille are selling from
$5S up to three-fgured prices. more
than two-thirds of the expense being
represented by the handiwork
| Hens of satin, if added to plain ma
| terials, are usually headed with lace
or braiding of irregular forms.
Antique lace and filet nets are ex-
tensively used, being made attractive
| by the addition of embroidery.
With antique lace the embroidery is
done over certain of the prominent fig
ureS IN Jne pattern, while the Hlet is
embroidered in various ways.
Sometimes the designs are made by
darninS the net, sometimes bold, rather
neavy patterns are twisted in over
and over" stitches with chenille, heavy
silk or even wOrsted combined with
silk.
Quite struggling patterns in motifs of
chrysanthemums. carnations or five
pointed starlike floral figures are favor
ties. and thread designs are especially
good just now.
Ribbons make charming borders and
trimmings, and velvet ribbon is partic-
ularly adapted to bring out current
lines
Scalloped and pointed finishes are
much employed by up-to-date dress
makers and bindings of satin or silk
10 match the darker contrasting color,
produce attractive finishes.
Guimpes and the thin sleeves that are
their usual accompaniment are very
important details which merit large
share of the attention if satisfactory
results are to be attained. Neatness
of effect and daintiness of finish are es-
sertials for these accessories.
