and dresden silks. The c~hangeable silks
are also expected to have the vogue that
these effects will have in suits and gowns.
Petticoats for wear under wash dresses
may be had Of gingham, chambray, linen
and s%eersuoker. All Of the white petticoats
not attached to corset covers are cut cir
oular, with no fullness about the waist,
and with the flounce put on Just below
the knees. Some Of these have a tucked
ruffle Of net set on just below the en-
broidery or lace f~lounce, which ADDS a
dainty fluffiness to the skirts.
Charming little night caps are being
shown, In white china silk run with pink
or blue ribbons, which are to be tied in a
big bow under the chin. Some of these
have little sachets hid in their soft lining,
and altogether are bewitching little vani-
ties.
Teagowns and negligees are taking on
80 ~extravagant and artistic a character,
that one is not always able to tell at a
glance whether one is looking upon a
lounging robe or an evening toilet. Chit
fons, figured silks, crepe de chimes and all
the sheer stuffs are used to make the
most ravishing robes dinterieur, as the
French call them. one Of the handsomest
Of these was Of dull green net over silver
tissue, beneath which was a pale green
satin lining. Copper-gold embroidery was
used on the corsage, making the whole
effect q simmer of dull tones and warm
lights. Negligees made solidly Of rows Of
lace and rows Of ribbon are most attractive
and may be made at home II one is at all
skillfull with the needle, or rather with
the machine, as these may be made al
most entirely on the sewing machine, If
one wishes to.
White lingerie negligees will be as much
worn as ever, while the comfortable, con-
venient kimona will always continue to be
a necessary feature OF every woman's ward
robe, a new style has appeared which is
meant especially to be a boon to the
woman who travels It is usually made
of soma dark, inconspicuous silk, in loose
straight lines. To the back is attached a
shirred cap which may be pulled over the
head at night to protect the hair from the
dust and to preserve the tidiness of the
couture, since coiffure of today may not
be attained in a dimlnutive toilet room with
four scowling females elbowing their way
to the tiny glass. Another attractive way
to make up q travelling kimona Is to cut
out a full mother hubbard and shirr three
tucks about the waist, through which the
cable cord may be run. When this is
drawn up to lit the waist, ana a Dutch
collar added at the throat, the garment has
rather the appearance of a robe than a
kimona,
The Japanese silk kimonas, with borders
Of plain china silk. are indispensable for
general use. Pretty effects are obtained
with cotton crepe, also. which may be had
as cheap as Is cents a yard, and may be
bound with ribbon, or a fancy silk or soft
oretonne, Figured dimities and barred mus
Inns are desirable for the warm weather.
Many of these nave a belt Of beading

styles from the lace trimmed silk ones tC

belt and lacy Dutch collars. One charming
model was of pale pink messeline. trimmed

Val. The lace was put on in sailor effect
about the neck, and formed a sort Of pep
lum about the waist.
