ECRU, CHAMPAGNE AND
CREAM GOOD C0L0RS
They Are More Used By Some
Than Chalk White-Pep-
lum Extremely Smart.

The woman whose ambition it Is to
be in the very a of the modes will
have her lingerie costume this year just
off the white. and verging on the ecru
shade. Cream and champagne are
more fashionable than chalk white just

batiste and embroideries in the ultra
smart champagne tone-or dip moder-

are the correct. tint.
The delicate coloring will endure
through countless, lalnderings, but. of
course, the tea tint will vanish the first
time it is submitted to d Tubing. The
ClunN and filet bands which are used
on the new lingerie rocks come in
these soft ecru shades as we'll as in
pure white. but 1t is as difficult to
match ecru tones as it Is to match
black fabrics. and any discord between
tones Will ruin the frOck. Some of the
smartest models show cream and ecru
laces combined with chalk white batiste
or wolfe. and the effect is very good,
the lace showing up well against CON

that their insertion in sheer voiles and
batistes must be cleverly effected or
ungraceful harshness and stiffness OF
line are the result. Sometimes an en-
tire deux OF narrow Cluny or Irish lad

narrow Nalenciennes insertion may be
used.

Very often one sees a belt of black
patent leather on Il tailored tub frock
of white linen. and perhaps Il black

neck. There is usually a fiat turned
down collar made of or trimmed with
lace and the same coarse lace is inset

frock of white linen had "A box plait

the skirt, the plaits running under a
belt OF patent leather at the waist line.
There was a square inset piece of

of the frock was trimmed in the same
fashion.

Many of the tub :rocks this season

the little coat or the taffeta sash is
matched by a shfrred taffeta bonnet

the French lingerie frccks shown at
recent openings We're accompanied by
these adorable little silk coats, which
in every instance had the long, graceful
coat tails at the back and reached only
to the waistline in front. One of these
quaint coats in fuchsia pink was worn

lace rufties and there was a small
shirred taffeta bonnet also in the fuch-
