East Indian Negligees.

"a EGLIGEE wear OF all kinds has
been growing more and more
luxurious-more and more friv-
- - olous and ooquettish in CHARGE
ter Tor the past few seasons. Perhaps
this is because women are growing
more luxury loving, or it may be be-
cause materials are growing richer,
softer and more luxurious with each
new season and boudoir wear nat
urally partal6es Of this general trend
toward richness and beauty. Some
OF the tea gowns fashioned Of delicate
chiffon and lace over foundations OF
soft and costly satin are hard to tell
from evening frocks, so exquisitely cut
are these negliges garments in addi-
ton to the extravagant richness of
the material. An out of town woman,
in New York for n weeks shopping,
Was enraDtured with a cloudy chiffon
garment the color Of a pink shell and

for a tea gown or an evening wrap,
but anyhow, I want it,
One OF the most beautiful negligees
brought over from Paris this year
had q coat Of Lierre lace over a foun-
dalton gown of thin, pale pink satin.
The pink satin gown was very straight
ana slender in line and fitted the fig
ure loosely yet without gathers or
fullnasa anywhere. over It the won
dereui coat of soft, creamy lace, with
graceful sprays on a net ground, was
shown TO fullest advantage. In front
the coat fell to the knees and sloped
downward toward the back to the
edge of the small train on the pink
satin skirt French negligees Of this
expensive character are built of the
very palest pinlSB and blues, the deli
cate coloring having much to do with
the charm Of the garments. The
pinks are so faint that they blend into
the creamy tones OF the lace and the
very faintest blues are used-blues
that in any other material but ex-
pensive satins and chiffons would look
washed out.
A Sacque and FlOWered PetticOat in
Colonial Style.
In contrast to the French creations
In these vague cOlOrs, Is an enchanting
boudoir costume which was worn by
a little English bride visiting in New
port last week. Every woman stop
ping at the house where this bride
was visiting is now having a negligee
made as near like hers as memory
can recall. There was a gay little
Gacque of pale blue satin. semi-fitting
at the back and trimmed with rea,
lace jabOt frills in front. with elbow
frills to match, and this little sacque
OF coatee was worn above a petit
coat OF lowered silk. pale blue with
big pink roses scattered over the sur.
face. The lowered petticoat waE
slashed around the foot to show 6
soft little under-hOunce of lace, and
potticoat and hounce were short
enough to reveal slender ankles and
tiny blue satin mules with high, tap.

Smart Collar and Cuff Set for Wear
with Summer FrOcks.
essary is to soap the collar well and
leave it a few moments soaking in
hot water. 1t may then be washed
between the hands and rinsed in sew
eral waters, a drop or two Of bluing
being added to the lat bath. Pin
the collar out carefully on a pillow
and let It dry thus. When removed
from the pillow it will be just stiff
enough to keep its shape smartly
without limpness.
A linen collar and cuff set with Irish
lace motifs is shown in another pho
tograph. Such a set could easily be
made during the summer vacation by
clever needlewoman. and blue or
pale pink linen would be almost as
pretty as the pure white. The embroi-
dered scallops and dots, of course, add
much to the distinction of this hand
some set.

the edge of this 1abot is mitred so
that the fchu forms a square corner
which lies obliquely on the coat front.
That is, the corner of the lace lies
diagonalIy along the edge of the front

new straight jabots which is made US
ually of very wide filet or Calais lace
insertion. the pattern of the lace
showing up in beautiful effect against
the dark material of q wool, satin or
mohair suit.
The sailor collar, made of sheer
lawn or organdie with an inch wide
hem at the edge is a pretty addition
to cotton frocks Of dainty coloring
and these collars are matched by cuffs
which suggest the deeply hemmed or
candle cuffs worn by a widow. These
thin, plain collar and cuff sets. how
ever, must be absolutely fresh and I'M
wrinkled to be smart, and their fresh
ness is a very evanescent condition,
since the material crumpIes at the
least provocation, or grows limp and
bedraggled If there Is the slightest
dampness. More serviceable are col
lars and cuffs of allover embroidery
or dotted swiss and charming sets of
this sort may be fashioned by hand at
trififng expense.
The shaped neck opening is used
this summer and the depth of the
opening may be varied to suit the
occasion and the wearer's individual

lace frill around the face and a smart
bow Of pale blue ribbon across the
front.
English women are making a fad
of Oriental negligees just now, in ac-
cordance with the furore for all East
Indian effects in England. The East
Indian boudoir gown Is loose and bur-
noose-ltke in shape and Is belted at
the waistline with a flowing, fringed
sash of some soft material which is
knotted at the side. These negligees
are simply made, but the material is
extremely rich and the colors are any
thing but simple. A model in mind
at the moment was Of dark blue satin
embroidered with gold threads and
pearl beads, the lining being of yellow
satin in light mustard shade. The
sash was of crepe de chine in the
vivid yellow with gold fringe weight
ing the ends.
A Cap With Every Negligee Now.
The craze for negligee caps seems
to have reached a climax. Every
boudoir gown has its accompanying
head-covering in the way Of a dis
tractingly pretty cap trimmed with
roses or ribbons. These caps are very
becoming and, since they may be
worn over the simplest couture, they
give the head a chance to rest from
its burden of curls. puffs and braids
and allow the natural hair a fair
chance to grow. One of the illus
trations shows a pretty summer negli-
gee and cap, designed for a woman
who will wear these charming togs
while making round of weekend
visits at country houses. Whatever
one may rely upon for solid comfort
in the privacy OF ones own bedroom
at home, at the weekend visit one
IS more or less on parade, even in
ones boudoir and there must be a
suggestion of luxury and formality
in the lounging gowns in which one
chats, gossips and plays bridge dur
ing the morning hours.
The negligee illustrated is made o.
pale blue chiffon over crepe de chine
OF the same shade. a f1chu of the chif-
fon being draped over the shoulders
in most graceful fashion. This fchu
is Weighted with silk ball fringe and
one end Of the fchu falls to the skirt
herl in front. With this dainty gown
goes a Corday cap of cream lace,
pleated at the edge. Under the lace
in front is a wide banG Of blue satin
ribbon and a strap of the satin, with
small rosettes over the ears. passes
outside the pleating across the back.
Another boudoir cap in Dutch style,
with lappets over the ears and a
turned back frill viii appeal to some
women. This cap is trimmed with a
wreath of small pink satin roses and
green leaves.

oial negligee, which while soft, light
and dainty enough to suit her fastidi-
Gus taste is not elaborate or conspicu-
Gus enough to attract notice from
strangers. The satin negligee meets
most requirements of a garment of this
sort The softest, limpest satin is used
and for this reason the negligees are
not cheap, but a sleeping car wrapper
may be packed in scarcely more space
than a silk handkerchief would occupy
and when shaken out is fresh and un-
creased. Such gowns are cut on grace
full lines, without fullness at the Shout
ders but with roomy, loose sleeves
and a raglan-like shape which COM
pletely hides the figure lines beneath
an important point since one often
desires to make the trip to a dressing
room uncorsetted. The sleeves come
below the elbow and the neck is fin
ished with a turnover collar. Some
times there Is a loose belt or a knotted
girdle at the waist and there are al
ways one or two capacious pockets
in which small toilet needs may be
slipped. Such negligees are Of rich,
not too delicate color, and are
and stitched bands. Nothing in the
way of lace or futtering ribbons is
permitted.

pretty and not too elaborate negli-
gee Of a somewhat more frivolous
character than the inconspicuous
sleeping car wrapper may be a rest
and comfort to tired nerves. The
three-quarter silk sacque illustrated
Is an excellent suggestion along
this line. This pretty sacque though
made of thin pink silk is wash
able and. being made without
lining, it is cool and light as
well. While not as long as a trail
ing negligee, it comes well over the
petticoat and is a bit more formal
than an abbreviated dressing sacque.
1t would be hard to imagine a more
charming breakfast costume than the
little gown of Powered organdie and
lace which while trim and conven-
tional in line is really a negligee in
character. The Powered material
falls only to the knee in front over a
petticoat of colored null. The bod
ice is crossed, surplice fashion. over
a chemisette of lace and the flowing
sleeves are made OF the plain. tinted
null and lace. A ribbon girdle con-
fines the material at the waistline.
PetticOats Partake of Narrow Lines.
Under the slimpsy frocks of the
moment petticoats must be equally
limp and soft, for the idea is to have
the gown cling about the ankles in
limp effect and the slightest flare at
the bottom makes everything all
