The beautiful petticOat Illustrated. like
the nightgoWn and combination garment,
is, part of a rousseau now being pre-
pared for a November bride. This petit
coat is made of nainsook and has deep
fioUnce of eyelet embroidery, the ftounce
being attached to the nainsOok by a wide
valenciennes lace insertion. 1t will be
noted that the fiounce is attached almost
without gathers so that the petticoat is
no more than IA yard and three-quarters
vida at the foot. and the strips of in
serton running down into the fiounce
add to the daintiness of the model. In
stead of passing through a beading the
wide, pale-blue ribbon is threaded
through button-holed slashes in the
fiounce This is novel touch. and as
the slashes are buttonholed by hand the
effect is eXquisitely fine and de icate.
Beneath the tiounce of sheer machine
eyelet work there is no drop ruffie such
fiounces now being applied directly to
the top of the petticOat and falling softly

The nightgown is new Yoke model,
for Jokes are again very popular in lin
gerie and are seen in chemses and COR
set covers as we'll as in night gowns The
lovely model pictured is of the finest
nainsook attached to a yoke of p ntucking
and lace with a lace beading, through
which pink ribbon is drawn. The YOKE is
square, running down over the top of the
kimono sleeve. and the beading and RIB
bon go all around it. d deep scant friil of
lace forming the embryonic sleeves. With
in the deep border of lace which forms
the square of the yoke are set back and

finished in bridal style by knots of pink

pink satin carnations. one knot on each
sleeve and one at the front of the yoke.
The val-trmmed nishtgown is not very
practical for week-in and week-Out wear,
as this lace must be laundered with ex-
IRENE care to look like anything but q
rag after two or three visits to the tub.
Dainty and practical nightgowns are
made of fine lOngcloth with imitation
cluny lace around square neck and edg-

pretty finish inside the lace edge. There

women more pleasing.

THE CHANGING STYLES
OF COMING SEASON

NEW separate blouses have collars
either on the Robespierre or direc-
toire order. Collars on dressy frocks are
conspicuous only by their absence.
Beaded frtnges and embroideries are
extensively used. Touches of wool en-
broidery are often intermingled with
beads. Tiny tassels of silk. jet, crystal,
silver and gold are used as trimmings,
and single line trimming in briliants or
rhinestones.
The extremely heavy laces of former
winter seasons are rarely seem There
are some beautiful limitations of OUCH
esse and rose point used in the form OF
panels and scarf draperies, and Bohe-
landings, ETC.. but the new shadow and
maline laces are very extensively used,
and are in most attractive designs.
Narrow bands Of fur trimming are
used on evening and house gowns of chif-
fon, net, brocaded satin, velvet and char
meuse. Fur scarfs are nearly as wide as
wraps. A wide long scarf of Hudson seal
is attractive when trimmed with a band
of white fox, and moleskin trimmed with
ermine is very fashionable. Wraps of
notified velour are often trimmed with
marabou. Bands of fur are used as
trimmings ON frocks Of all fabrics, from
the practical serge TO the creation of
lace.
Very smart girdles are made OF soft
chiffon velvet velvet ribbon. and mar
row girdles of chiffon or net. .soiidly bead

A Comfort for the Fall Traveller.
