Soft, Reclining Garments for the Hours
When Ceremony Is for the Time
Forgotten.

Pale tinted china silk kimonos en-
broidered in self tones are charming
and soft, for they, like SO many of the
seasons garments, are made Of the
thinnest of thin china silk. These have
a collar which turns back fiat and
very short sleeves, the back Of the
robe is plain, and the entire garment
is unlined. In pink they suggest
spring blossoms.
In this very thin china silk may also
be purchased dainty waists made sail
or fashion, the collar, tie and pocket
are of striped gray and white china
silk. At about the same price come
plain white china silk waists with high
collars. Marquisette waists for sep
arate blouse" wear are still very high
in price; some are made of high neck,
and others Dutch neck. Much Cluny
lace is to be seen in the wash shirt
waists of inexpensive mode. These
also come both Dutch neck and
