" HE negligee that in other days
was termed a luxury is now
considered a necessity. It need
not be an extravagant garment,
but one thing Is undeniable-it can be
very cool and attractive for the leisure
hours.
In Paris the little shops always show
this garment, and with each season
there comes something new in line or
combination OF color or fabric.
These models are quite simple in con-
Gtruction. They are easy to make. and
they strike a compelling note in the
symphony OF dress for summer.
Notice that there are little French
touches that give the distinctive charm
In each robe. The cut and color con-
trasts are very important. After that
your individuality will give the dis
tinction that you should strive for in
your dress.
