New York. Jan. 27.-vslvets and
corduroys have become extremely pop
ular for tailored costumes and are
used great deal. Now the French are
adding plush, that soft. supple, rich
fabric with satin sheen. to the mate
rails of the tailored class. This mate
rial lends itself most charmingly to
handsome suits. particularly In com.
bination with broadcloth. A distinct,
i've model much admired by the
friends of its charming wearer, was

nation with broadcloth. The rather
long coat Of the plush closed to one
side with full length line of hand

draping revers were of similar shade
OF green broadcloth, as was the upper
part Of the skirt, heightened by a
knee-depth founce of the plush.
A negligee to be thoroughly prac-
tical should be washable, though
cleansing is now SO quickly and cheap
ly done that anything at all dainty
is usually sent to the cleanser. and for
the cheap cold weather negligees of
washable character outing fiannels,
fine French flannels, challis and alba
tross cloth are the materials usually
chosen. Albatross Is the material with
which the designers secure the best
effects. In pink and blue 1t is charm
ing, and white albatross made up over
a pink silk is perhaps even more eff
fective. Unlined sacks and boudoir
robes Of pink or blue trimmed simply
by embroidered scalloping OF the
edges and by an embroidered collar of
the material, or possibly collar OF
lingerie or lace, are exceedingly at
tractive and easily tubbed.

but adds also to the warmth OF the
