this Is combined Val. lace or inser-
lions Of double-edged embroidered ga
loon, with soft ribbons an inch wide
used for the draw strings.
An entirely new night gown materi-
al is imported crinkled crepe, which
Is Of q veil-like fneness, bias of fine
lawn being used with this for neck
and sleeve bands, through which col
Ored ribbons are drawn. Domestic
crepes of a coarser sort, some with
crinkled stripes which look like seer
sucker, also appear in night dresses,
all of which, by the way, il they are
at all of stylish nature, are low
necked and short-sleeved.
Separate drawers and short petit
coats are In the minority. The hip
less gowns will not allow even the ex-
ira fullness of the bands of those. so
the three-piece combination. or long
slip to be worn over tights, will be
offered the smart woman. The slips
are OF lawn, lace and ribbon trimmed
and fitted to the figure almost as
closely as a gown. Compared with
the prices Of other garments, the So
asked for these seem quite moder-
ate.
The long petticoat for a stylish in
door or evening dress is a thing of
exquisite elegance The top of the
petticoat is fitted to the figure with
out wrinkle, the material being turn
ed over and sewed by hand to form the
band, so as to do away with any
possible thickness. Into the circular
top of the skirt, which is made of
lawn, there are often insets all over
OF Val. lace, which will edge the
straight-kilted or tucked fiounce. and
lie under 1t in several gathered
trills to frou-frou the bottom. This
means that fine petticoat must posi-
lively be flouncing at the edge, how
ever scant 1t is at the top.
Two Of the daintiest novelties al
lowed the Easter bride are the night
cap and the bed sacque. The night
caps are imported frivolities and are
given the same name by the French
-bonnets de mutt. The prettiest
tones are in mop shape, of fine mus
lin. with a lace edge and ribbon band,
styles she will be In her glory, for
these close little muslin hoods with
their lace or fine embroidery insets,
are the pink of coquetry.
The bed sackues are supposed to be
Tor additional warmth, but they will
doubtless be used chiefly as partial
negligees over the gown when dress
ing. White and colored muslins, lace
and ribbon trimmed. form the majori-
ty OF these sacques, which are cut in
one piece like doll sacques. with the
sleeve portions held underneath with
ribbons. -
For those who can afford it, or can
make the finest of these intimate gar
ments themselves, linen lawn, with
embroidered insets framed in baby
Irish lace, is par excellence the ma
terial of the moment. But where the
bride Is not needIewoman and must
display economy in all her purchases,
she can do no better than to look for
the little ready-made garments Of
American lawn. The more tasteful of
these strive more for fineness of ma
terial than trimming, narrow edges of
Val. with simple white ribbon draw
strings seeming sufficient decora-
ton.
The bride who can make her own
lingerie, and means to keep some OF
the pretty sewing for the months af-
ter marriage, would be wise to follow
the fashions in choosing the dimities
and crepes for her nightdresses. for
these require little trimming and
such textures are delightfully."- cool
for summer. All white is everywhere
thought more elegant than tinted un-
derwear of any sort and it seems al
most obligatory to have feelings and
finfshings done by hand.
