NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-TO every
woman of refined taste pretty under
wear is a necessity. 1t is not only her
gowns and wraps and hats that re-
ceive attention, but as much time and
thought will be given to the lingerie
as to the outer garments. This does
not mean that she will indulge in all
the novelties and most expensive
things on the market, but it does
mean that all the garments will be of
As good material as her purse will
allow. and will be made in the daint-
lest manner, minus cheap lace and
embroidery.
Of materials nainsook, batiste, dim
fy, cambria, China silk, taffeta and
long cloth are a few that may be eff
@ectively used In trimmings, Valen-
eiennes edging and insertions point de
Paris founcing, lace beading, hand
embroidery and ribbons are best liked
For silk one may use silk ruchings
with plain or pink borders, or little
Grills of ribbon are dainty. For corset
covers and petticoats beading is as
much used as ever and the reason is
apparent when one thinks what
charming effects can be made with
ribbons The corset covers may be
decorated at the top and bottom with
beading and run with dainty white
2olored ribbons and further orna-
mented with tiny little bows placed at
intervals. The sheerest kinds of
handkerchief linen should be used for
those dainty bits of underwear.

Stockings Must Match Shoes.

Stockings are as elaborate as ever,
with one law to be observed above all
others-that they match the shoes,
and in turn that the shoes should
match the gown. Of course, shoes may
always properly be black, if one wish
es them, but there is a chic air given
to the matched shoe that seems to
finish a costume as no black shoe
will. 1t goes without saying that the
black gray or black and white effects
require a black shoe and stockings.
The invariable rule for a white dress
is a white shoe, not even black being
allowable-a rule that makes the
city woman sigh, for white
shoes are almost impossible on
the dusty city streets, and dirty white
shoes are an abomination. 1t is hardly
necessary to say, perhaps, that the
rule Of the stocking matching the
shoe is even more strictly observed
with the white shoe thanany other
For morning wear, a fine grade of
cotton or Isle may be used Later in
the day, with the afternoon costume,
the stocking should be of silk or the
finest grade of Isle, with silk mix
ture, and may have a more elaborate
design upon them than is permissible
in the morning. Those for evening
wear are CONSPICUOUS for their dec
Grafton and many dollars are spent
on their ornamentation
There are a great many linens on
the market this season, and many of
them make attractive as well as serv-
iceable gowns of the shirtwaist sort,

is found in many shades, that in white

Novelties in Negligees.

Negligees are also part of the wo-
mans lingerie, and many pretty nov
city is gladly seized upon. A pretty
garment is in one piece, and the neck
opening is made square and large
enough to permit of the garment be-
ing slipped over the head, conse-
quently no buttons or buttOnhOles or
other methods of fastening need be
considered Also, trimming to any eX-
tent is superfluOus, the bands out
lining the edges being sufficient dec
Grafton and a means of finishing the
garment. The one in question was
made Of a fine quality of fOulard in
champagne, dotted with brown spots
about a half an inch in diameter, and
the bands were of a mixed pattern
showing browns and pinks and
slight suggestion of pale green. Pink
challis having white dots and bands
of pink silk would also be pretty, but
the materials and colors are so vari-
ed that individual taste is very ash
ly satisfied.
A very effective slipwaist was
shown the other day that would
change a plain waist into something
rather novel in it's way. 1t was made
of a pretty overchecked plaid, show
ing green's and dull whites, and in
front was heavy lace design. When
this was worn under batiste or dot
ted swiss waist the effect was entire
ly charming. Many designs and colors
could be carried out on similar lines,
for the idea can bear any variations.
A waist that is made of alternate
rows of lace and insertion, either of
embroidery or lace or tucked linen
and edged with a ruffied beading,
through which a bright ribbon has
been drawn, makes a pretty under
waist OF course, the plain China silk
waists are still in vogue ana are seen
in many styles, and for the elaborate
outer waists nothing is more appro-
pirate.

Underwear for Large Women.

Cambria linen and nainsook of the

about the depth of the knee and at the
head a lace beading; this isrun with
ribbons, and to finish the ends of the
ribbon are drawn through the bead
ing on each side of the front of the
petticoat and knotted in rosettes

size the combination suit is the best
model of undergarment; and those of
fine silk Isle or very fine cotton may

jty2 and so trimmed that they by no
means lack beauty or daintiness. OF
coTFse, for these garments you must
pay an extra price, but the wearing
qualities will repay for the money
spent Then, after the corset has
been adjusted, another combination
garment is worn, being really a cor
net cover and short skirt together,
the top of which is deliberately deco
rated and the bottom of which has a
short founce, lace edged, and indeed
may be ornamented just as the wear

crease or seam to mar the outside
