colors must be selected for use with the
lingerie frock, for bright. strong pinks or
blues will at once cheaper 1t and make
It LOOK common and ordinary. Be sure
that the foundation slip is q bit narrow
er than the frock In the skirt, and finish
the slip with scant founce edged with
lace.
New dotted swisses and batistes are
and there are dotted voiles and crepes
which come with beautiful border pat
terms. In making up a bordered crepe
or wolfe. the border design is usually
cut away from the plain material and
afterward Joined. to 1t as a trimming
by means Of lace insertion or narrow
entire deux. One OF the prettiest frocks
on today's page has been built In this
way-the dainty costume having a flet
lace overskirt and back panel, and a
girlish sash with long ends. This charm
ing frock is made Of very fine dotted
batiste in a creamy shade and the en-
broidered border has been cut away and
used very cleverly as trimming The
skirt. Another band OF the border edges
the lace tunic or overslkirt, which opens
in front and Is edged with a narrow Sec
ton OF the border. The center part Of
narrow edge pattern is used on each side
of the band OF Alet insertion around the
skirt. The width of the border is used
again across the back Of the lace collar.

This fetching little frock is further en-
HANGED with a girlish sash. having two
ends falling straight down from a fiat
pump bow at the back of the waist line
The sash is made of changeabie lilac and
blue ribbon and the creamy frock is
mounted over pale blue messaline The
leghorn hat has a crown Of faint pink
roses and is trimmed with purple lilacs
The boots are Of white buckskin with
high Cuban heels and buttoned tops.
Another bordered material is used in
quite different way as evidenced In
the frock Of embroidered batiste and
cherry-colored chiffon The vandyked
edge Of the embroidered border shows
up to excellent advantage against the
used to give the best effect possible. Very
little expensive embroidered batiste is
necessary in the making of this effective
model-two yards or less to go around
the skirt, and enough more to go over
the shoulders and make the draped
sleeves. This frock has a fiounce Of
cherry-colored chiffon dropped over
white, and the centers of the bodice at
back and front are Of the cherry chiffon.
The cuffs are of this chiffon folded over
white silk, and the soft sash is made OF
satin matching the chiffon.
At least a third of the so-called
lingerie models this season have chif-
fon in their makeup. a fact which pre-
cIudes their ever visiting the friendly
washtub When chiffon is left out. dark
net is sometimes introduced to give the
cachet of dark touch on the delicately
air frock. Black net Jokes and frills
are often seen on otherwise white cos
tunes: and some very aristocratic lin
gerie frocks are touched up with gray
net A model of this sort, of embroider-
ed white cotton crepe. has tiny pleated
frills of smoke gray net, introduced
along the edge of wide filet lace band
ings on skirt and bodice. and down the
center front are two rows OF very small
gray buttons which are made OF the net
over white silk.
Cerise and green chiffon are used by
yPoiret this season to give color to cream
frocks, for everything of lingerie Ia
