adapted for this purpose, as it both
wears and looks well. A good cotton
material is infinitely TO be preferred TO
a cheap silk.
The Princess Slip.
Perhaps as satisfactory a way as any
to prepare for the summers dressing is
to have several of these princess slips
made Of well-shrunk nainsook or long
cloth If detachable dOUuces are pro-
vided, the arrangement viii be perfect.
The fOunCes may range in degrees Of
fneness and Ella bOratiOn from lawn,
crOss-baTred dimity, figured or dotted
Swiss to handsome embroidery or lace
trimmed Organdy and French lawn.
There will be better projection to the
dounce if the slip is allowed to extend
in full length underneath it.
Gather the top Of the fOunce into a
narrow band. Work in it buttOnhOles,
about two and one-half inches apart,
and sew buttons on the skirt at correct
height for the fioUnce A band of en-
brOidery or ribbon-run beading, stitched
to the buttOnhOled band at the upper
edge only, will conceal the buttonholes.
Using the Slip With d Two-Piece
Costume.
Tt is not only under a princess dress
ated. The avoidance of extra belt thick
ness and adjustment is quite as much to
be desired under a skirt-and-wa cos
tune. A misses costume shown in the
shops is not a model that requires a
lining i'm the making, but when devel-
oped in the lawn, batiste, Swiss, silk
muslin or serpentine crepe for which it
is so well adapted, the one-piece slip
beneath it viii improve both its fit and
appearance. This model, by the way
may be made into a semi-princess by
uniting the waist and skirt by a band of
lace or embroidered insertion, match
ing that insert in lengthwise lines
This is the most practical way to
make the princess models in sheer ma
terials, which have not enough body in
their texture to hold the shape of the
smooth princess lines The shaped
princess is extremely effective when
made of au-over embroidery. AIl-over
embroideries may be bought at very
moderate price if a simple design is Sc
lected.
New Ideas of Figure.
There is no question about the good
style Of the princess models, nor the
general favor that is accorded them.
Now that we are realizing the fact that
a pinched-in waist is not the sum-in-
all of a good figure, and that eqUaliza-
ton of measures gives not only better
balance, but absolutely a more youth
full carriage, the princess gown in we'll
fit, easy fit is not the forbidden gar
ment it has been to many women. For
tunately, too, for in some of its many
possible notifications it is embodied in
the changing styles. The long panel at
the front, from neck to the bottom of
the skirt, is all that remains of it in
some models, but this is really the es-
sential feature of the style.
It is introduced with excellent effect
into girls dresses, when the regular
princess or Gabrielle model might not
provide enough fullness on the slender
young figure. A plated skirt is gen
orally preferable to a gathered model
for lightweight goods. White lawn,
Indian linen or figured muslin may be
used, or one of the dimties or printed
silk and-cOttOn fabrics, for the dress,
with q plain color of the same material
for the stole yoke, sleeve bands and
belt For wear under thin unlined
dresses there is a French ,under-waist-
and-petticoat combination, which has
the long-waisted body portion and a
hodnce that may be made to button on,
permitting the same variety Of fiounces
